airy heroes and their British opponents
move as living, speaking figures, their
personality vivid to the readers eye.
The language is drawn very largely
from remarks and incidents quoted in
history, and there are copious notes
drawn from authorities in history, also
many Illustrations and an index. Pre-

is that it will be read, and that thus
will be aroused greater appreciation
of the struggles and sufferfngs of those
who founded this republic. f. Tenny-
