HAMILTON IN BRONZE
The Statue Recently Unveiled In
Brooklyn, N. z.
One OF the Best Works of william Ord.
way Partridge, the Scu1ptor-In-
scriptions That Have Been
Placed on the Pedestal.

The bronze statue of Alexander
Hamilton, the work of William Ordway
Partridge, was unveiled with public
ceremonies in front of the Hamilton
clubhouse at Clinton and Remsen
streets, Brooklyn, October 4. George
M. Olcott, ex-president of the club,
made the speech of presentation, and
the statue was received by President
James McKeen. Johua M. Van Colt
made an address on Hamilton as q
statesman, and Gen. Stewart L. Wood
ford spoke of Hamilton as soldier.
The statue stands in front of the
clubhouse in Remsen street, halfway
between the entrance and the street
corner, just within the iron railing
surrounding the club property. A
solid foundation has been laid to sup
port the pedestal of marble, eight feet
in height, on which the statue, ten
feet in height, stands. The following
inscriptions have. been placed upon the
PEDESTAL:
"There is not in the constitution Of the United
States an element OF order OF force or Of du-
ramon winch he mas not powerfully contrib
uted to introduce and caused to predominant. ,"
-GuiZot
''He smote the rock Of the national resources
and abundant streams Of revenue gushed

"The model of eloquence and the most fssci-
mating Of orators STORY.
"His rare powers entitled him to the fame o.
being the rstintellectual product Of America. :"
Stevens.
1.-THE name Of Hamilton would have honored
Greece in the age of Aristides. "-Ames.
Mr.. Partridge, the sculptor, began
thinking of a statue of Hamilton, at
the suggestion of DIR. Arthur Matthew
son, ten years ago, and has endeavored
to set forth in the figure the genius of
the man of whom Talleyrand said:
''He OWNED America" 1t represents
Hamilton in colonial costume, with a
roll of manuscript in his left hand, in
the attitude of an orator, earnestly
setting forth great truths. The pose
Of the figure is firm and expressive of

resolution and earnestness, and the de-
meanor is dignifed and impressive.

resolution and earnestness, and the de-
meanor is dignifed and impressive.
The statue may be regarded as rep
resentative of the colonial time and
spirit. The pedestal is designed to
harmonic with the figure, the Ionic
columns of the front recalling the
period when classic architecture had
full sway in this country. Mr.. Part
ridge is the sculptor of the Shakespeare
in Chicago, and he is 'at work on the
equestrian statue of Gen. Grant to be
placed in front of the Brooklyn Union
League clubhouse.
The suggestion that the Hamilton
club erect the statue was made by the
late Edward A. Secomb, and he ar
ranged the preliminary steps in the
matter. Since his death the matter
has been taken charge of by Willis l..
Ogden. The funds to pay for the work
have been subscribed by the members
of the club.
The statue is a great addition to the
few to be found in public places in
Brooklyn. The Lincoln at the park
entrance, the Beecher in front of the
city hall, soon to be removed to Pros
pect park, and the Stranahan in that
pleasure ground are the only ones to
be found, save few busts in the park
and in Greenwood cemetery.

NEW YORK, Dec Que OF tie ablest of
the English historians, meeting Robert I
Lincoln at n dinner ia London, said TO him
II am inclined 10 think from what hea,
that you have in the states an author who
is more highly esteemed here than be is in
his own countrr. ] have Eeard Professor
Freeman speak cf his.l as the ahlest o.
American. historians .nd express as;onish
ment that his wur..s shoa.d 10, be better
known to bis coUptryosea. Professor Srubh~
and Mr.. Green kare eaels expressed admira
ton for his w0rA- l Teier u. course TO Fran
els Park man
Ii was also said st this gathering that
some one asked James Eesssil Lowell
when he was minister 10 Ensiand. who ol
ali American writers OF his own generation
he thought would bear the highest repu,s
during the next century. ana Nj Lowell
answered instantly: Il taink, without
doubt, that the man who is perhaps the
least known OF American writers of ability
while be is living will be esteemed in the
next century in many respects the able>t OF
them. | mean cur historian, traneis Park
man"
Mr.. Parkman has recently died. and the
comments oecssioned by his death perhaps
made his name more familiar 10 A ulericans
than any of his historical writings IL is
announced that Mr.. parkman's publishers
propose very soon TO bring out popular
edition of his works, and one of such rear
sonable cost as would bring them within
reach of persons OF very moderate income.
When that is done, Americans will proba
bly, be more familiar with his writings than
they have hitherto been.
George Bancroft, who is the most famous
II not the ablest of American historians,
once speaking of contenporaneous writers.
said to the writer: Il have often wondered
why it is that the American public does not
know Parkman better. To me he seems in
many respects the ablest historian that we
have had, and believe that he will rank
with the ablesu who have written history in
the English language. He possesses tn lit
erary charm of Macaulay without his l.
ingA He seems to be as accurate as t.
man-possibiy even as accurate as st lbs
himself. He has the literary charm which
is the chief quality of Green's delightful
history, and he has opened up TO Us that
very important epoch Of American colonial
life which developed the conditions which
made the American revolution possible.
This, comm. from George Bancroft, was
very high praise, ard it illustrates that
complete freedom from envy which always
