The verdict of competent critics through
out the country is that the author has pro-
duced "a noble biography" No work OF
greater historical value has come from the
press in many years. II Is full of interest
for the people Of to-day, and yet will have
an enduring value and be treasured By
posterity.
It is the first time that real life of PAT
RICK HENRY has been written. and the book
shows that he was good and great man,
and that he was not only an orator but a
statesman of sound judgment and pro-
phetio vision.
One more volume will complete the
work, and this will soon be issued.

This is a sombre story, and is intended to
show how q human soul, earnest to live for
self and this world, may be purified by
trial and suffering, and be made fit for a
better life both here and hereafter. Halle

he emerged from the furnace of affection
so changed In heart that he was able even
to lay down his own life TO save that OF his
bitterest enemy. II is mournful little
story. and is pervaded by a strong religious
spirit.

Adventures Of a Fair Rebes. By MATT GRIM.
From the publishers, CHARLES l.. WEB
sTEB ~ Co., New York.
We noticed this book recently. 1t is by
a new southern writer who has published
several short stories in the magazines,
which stories have been very favorably re-
ceived. 1t is war story and is pleasantly
written, though not eyincing, in our
opinion, any unusual talent for story-tell-
ing. The author is young lady and her
odd name Is genuine one.

Mr.. RUSSELL has made sea yarns" his

maritime novels, all of them of striking
excellence. For breezy, well-written
tale Of the deep we could not send the
lover of such to o better source than to
him, and we recommend the present vol
ume as thoroughly readable book of that
kind. The story has one great merit, it is
not too long-208 pages.
