this house and edited by Carlos Mar
tyn. The author is q resident Of Bay
II dge, n. y. and bss performed q
valuable piece Of work, for which he
must have had a heart, zeal and pas
zion as a patriot aud literary man from
his youth. The book Is exactly what
it purports to be, a narrative account
fortified by ample authority for each
statement, and many facts are thrown

edge. No life Of John Brown can be
written without considering the laboTs
and sacrifices Of his sons and family at

him. Without them all, at home and
with him ia camp and in prIson, 10
