The announcement that "Butlers Book"
which has for some time been in prepsrs-
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 had
deep interest which has been we'll kept up
10 the present. Whether believers in or
doubts OF his genuineness ss Q man, no
one has ever held in doubt his 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 ID 10 direct testimony from Gen.
eral Butler himself Made mp as an
autobiography with personal reminis-
cences, ~ can hardly fail TO be readable
and interesting.
In q review Of "Butler's Book" nothing
10 more noticeable than the concise yet
much could be put In q single volume OF
not unwieldy size disappears when close
study reveals all lack Of verbosity In mat.
ter. The Butler autobiography COM
mences with his Puritanical ancestry aud
lineage in which the family is reviewed
through several generations. His school
days al Phillips 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 as 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 Butler's political life has been
an active one. His was position In the
front rank of the campaign for shorter
hours for the working men OF Lowell, q
campaign which turned that busy city up
eide down, but which has since resulted In
much OF good for laborers. He also par
sicipsted In she forming OF ne " parties, and
was prominent In all matters OF State and
national legislation. II is possible for no
man TO take an independent and bold
stand among politicians without srousing
the bitterest opposition. General Butler
claims that be has been maligned and
misrepresented, 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 TO light documents. letters. maps,
ETC., which are Of special value 10 the
history OF our country. Here again he Was
@ leader and mere again did ne arouse
vigorous hostility. We do not say that he
was wrong or right on few points which
have come 10 public notice. But what
ever his course, II 10 certain that In this
book he opens much commentary evidence
entirely new TO the public gaze which tells
its own story completely.
