The announcement that "Butlers Book"
which has for some time been in prepars-
tion will soon be on the market, will
quicken the interest 10 the work which has
been felt throughout the Union. In Gen.
eral Butler the people have ever bad q
deep interest which has been well kept up
70 the present. Whether believers in or
doubts of his genuineness as man, no
one has ever held in doubt bis valued
service in war, his ability In law. or his
zeal in political life. Americans love fair
play. Hence, whatever bias the popular
mind may have taken, "Butler's Book"
will have large sale for the simple res-
son that II is direct testimony from Gen
eral Butler himself Made up as an
autobiography with personal reminis-
cences, II osn hardly fat! &c be readable
and interesting.
In . review Of "Butler's Book" nothing
10 more noticeable than the concise yet
fulI style OF matter. The wonder that SO
much could be put IN o single volume OF
not unwieldy size disappears when close
study reveals all lack OF verbosity In mat
ter. The Butler autobiography COM
mences with bis Puritsnical ancestry and
lineage in which the family is reviewed
through several generations. His school
days At Pbillips Exeter Academy and later
At waterville College; his dash upon the
ology with the professors Of that institu.
tion. and his subsequent choice and study
OF the law ss his profession-all these
points In bis early life are given with .
completeness OF detail which throws much
light on his later and more active part In
life.
General Buffers political life has been
an sctive one. His was a position In the
front rank OF the campaign for shorter
hours for the working men OF Lowell. .
campaign which turned that busy city up
side down, but which has since resulted In
much OF good for laborers. He also par
ticipated In the forming OF ne v par ties, and
was prominent 10 all matters Of State and
national legislation. IL Is possible for no
man to take an independent and bold
stand among politicians without arousiug
the bitterest opposition. General Butler
claims that be has been maligned and
misrepressnted. and freely cites good
authority in making good his positions.
II Is chiefly, however. in his military
capacity that the author Of this work
brings 70 light documents. letters. maps.
ETC.. which are OF special value TO the
history Of our country. Here again he was
q leader aud here again did he arouse
vigorous hostility. We do not say that he
was wrong or right on . few points which
have come to public notice. But what
ever his course, IL Ia certain that In this
book be opens much commentary evidence
entirely new 70 the public gaze which tells
its own story completely,
