MEMOIRS OF THE RIGHT HONORABLE SIR
Join ALEXANDER MACDONALD, C. {. B..
First Prime Minister of the Dominion Of Cam
j. Durie & Son.
An exhaustive history of this strongest
figure in Canadian annais-practically the
story of Canadian government for sixty
years. Varying opinions will always be
held as to the quality Of Sir John A. Mac
donald's greatness, but as to his promi-
hence and his loyalty to what he believed
to be his public duty there will not be
any dispute. Mr.. Pope, who, for several
years, was the premier's private secretary,
has given us such portrait as would be
expected from an affectionate and never
critical artist. He has not, however, per-
mitted his admiration to damage his work,
which was not character-d dissection; fair
less. though, is frequently evident. The
handsome volumes will be appreciated by
students today and by the historian who
makes appearance in years to come

beau,s Career. Twelve Lectures on the History
of the French Revolution delivered at the

Hoist. Two volumes. Chicago: Callaghan &
An unpretentious work, yet one that
throws much light upon period of
Frances existence that must always be
most deeply interesting. The author in
sists that his >educativo product is not a
book on the history of the French revolu-
ton, but merely some lectures upon it,
composed principally with a view to
illustrating and criticisng some of it's main
features by the opinions and the career of
the foremost political genius of it's first
phase" What Mr. Won Hoist has done is
admirable.

bioiosicai Laboratory of the State University
OF Nebraska. Boston: The Arena Publishing
Company.
Starting out with The axiom that moth
ing is so sensational as the truth" DIR.
Billings proceeds to tell what he believes
to be the truth itself. He does 1t veher
mently and in the most direct way. In
some respects he is a century ahead of
the age; in others he is centuries behind
