deserving lover wins the heroine, the

Dodd, Mead & Co (New York; have
issued a handsome little volume en-
titled Abraham Lincoln's Speeches"
They have been compiled by ex-Secre-
tary of the Treasury l.. E. ChittendeD,
author of Personal "reminiscences Of
Lincoln" The book opens with beau
tiful etched portrait Of Lincoln.
The compilation is valuable ad
dtion to the literature of the repuo-
| lie since it presents the gems of Lin
coins speeches and messages in COM
pact form, and in a manner that rem
ders search of vOluminOuS documents
unnecessary. Beside the speeches and
messages, there are letters, orders, ad-
dresses, etc. The volume covers the
whole period of LincOln's public life,
before he was President and after. It
gives US a good many extracts of high
value that are not found in other
works, and presents the intellectual side
of Lincoln more strongly than has been
done by any other author. DuodecimO;

novel by S. R. Crockett, and is from the
press of Macmillan & Co., New York.
1t is really history of adventure taken
from the papers Of William Gordon of
Earlstoun, in Galloway, and told over
again by Mr.. Crockett. He was enabled
to gather the data and examine the
records necessary by the assistance and
kindness of the Library Committee of
Edinburgh University and by the cour-
tesy of Rev John Anderson Of Ed
inburgh, John Mcmillan of Glenhead
and others. The long lost records Of
the United Societies were thus
brought to light. 1t is one of the inosG
romantic of recitals, and withal is pos
sessed of much historic interest and
value. The narrative is presented IN
style that rivets the attention, sustains
the interest and charms the taste for
good writing and clever narrative.
