value to American History. Roger Sher-
man, of Connecticut, does not figure in our
history as an imposing character, or one
who has held the attention of the public
through the intervening years, except in
the case of those who have made a special
study of the times in which he lived, and
are aware of the particular services that
he rendered in his day. But he was one
of the makers of America, and occupied a
large space in contemporary history. He
was representative in the Colonial AS
sembly of Connecticut in 1855 and from
that time onward to his death in 1898 he
constantly occupied positions III the public
service. He was judge of the Superior
Court for twenty-three years; eight years
a member of the Continental Congress,
a member of the Constitutional Conven-
tion of 1889, and from the formation of the
National Government in 1889 to the year
of his death he was member of Cong1 ess,
serving two years as representative and
two years as senator. Roger Sherman
was a fervent patriot, an upright judge,
and a sagacious legislator and it is mat
ter for congratulation that the events of
his life are now recorded for the benefit
of this generation.
1t is singular, considering the services
that Roger Sherman rendered in the in
fancy of our nation, that his life has not
heretofore been adequately written. John
Adams declared that Roger Sherman was
lone of the soundest and strongest pillars
OF the Revolution The present volume
is very carefully prepared and besides CIV
ing in detail the biography of its subject,
embodies much valuable matter pertaining
to the Revolutionary period. Senator
George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts, is a
grandson of Roger Sherman, and began
the collection of materials for life of
his grandfather. Not being able to carry
out his plan on account of the pressure of
other duties, Senator Hoar transferred
his material to the writer of this volume,
who was early intere sted in the career of
Roger Sherman, and had made investiga-
tions on his own account. The volume is a
welcome addition to American Biography
and fills space not as satisfacto rily oc-
cupied by any other publication.

THE NEW BOOKS.

The RISE AND GROWTH OF THE ENGLISH
Marion. By w. H. S. Aubrey ILL., d.
New York d. Appleton Il Co. vols.
~ mo. Cloth 81 so.
These volumes are a surprise and in
their way marvel. The work has not
been heralded with any flourish of trum-
pets, or even wide extended preliminary
announcement, and yet, since Buckles
History of Civilization, and Green's His
tory of the English People, no such mass of
facts aud learning of an historical nature
has been presented to the public. DR.. Au-
breys volumes constitute an almost en-
in marvellous manner the facts and prin-
ciples developed in the history of the
English nation. The work is written with
special reference to epochs and crises and
the development of the English people,
with the varying phases of their daily
life, the formation of the national char
acter, the continuity and application of
great principles, and the growth of con-
stitutional liberty" all presented in
severely condensed but attractive form.
The successive chapters contain mine of
information of great value on such topics
as Saxon Influences; the Norman Infusion
Feudalism the Contests and Blending of
Races; the Great Charter; the Black
Death and Statutes of Laborers; the Re-
vival of Learning; the Spread of Litera-
ture; Great Inventions and Discoveries
the Reformation; the Stuart Conflict;
the Glorious Revolution; and the Making
of Modern England; the Rise of the Mid
die and Trading Glasses, and of Municipal
Institutions; Legal Procedure; Parlia-
mentary Settlements; the Relation of the
Redress of Grievances to the Granting of
Supply; the Treatment of Crime and Pau
perism; with Industrial, Commercial, and
Domestic Matters.
The marvel of the work is the vast
amount of not easily accessible intelli-
gence that is comprised within these three
volumes Every page seems to have been
subjected to rigid species of condensation
and oftentimes the biographical details of
leading characters, and the facts relating
to the struggles and development of the
people of England, embodied in many vol
umes of history, are placed before the read
er in their proper relations in the compass
of few pages 1t is not ''the purpose of
this historian to advocate any particular
theory of politics, philosophy or religion
but he arranges his facts in such man
ner, and places them in the proper pers-
pective, so that in view of the character
of the work, the reader can draw his own
conclusions. We repeat our conviction,
that the work is one of unsurpassed value
to the historical student or even the gen.
eral reader, and when more widely known
will no doubt be appreciated as one of the
remarkable contributions to English His
tory published in this century. The work
is enriched and made greatly serviceable
by the photographed List prefxed to each
volume, giving the titles of standard
works on various branches of historical
inquiry and a copious Index which will
enable the reader to easily find the vast
amount of information which the volumes
contain.

The METHOD OF DARWIN. A Study in
Scientific Method. BY Frank Cramer.
l vol 16 mo- PIP. 1872 A c. McClurg
Il Co., Chicago.
This is really treatise on Inductive Log
ic as applied in the study of the biological
sciences. The logical processes involved,
and the nature of the difficulties met with
in scientific investigation are the same as
in the practical affairs of life. The fund
amental processes of reasoning are the
same everywhere; and it cannot but be
helpful to study these processes, as they
are actually applied by master minds in
the special fields. The author in this lit
tie book has met this demand by giving
US carefully prepared study of the
method of Darwin.
In this work Oh method we have not
only the theory of reasoning but its prac-
tical application by a competent writer
There is given us not only the science,
but the art of correct reasoning. We
have both logical precept and example.
The author gives us the rule and lets
Mr. Darwin show us how to apply it.
The work is real contribution to the
science of logical method and applied
logic
We cordially recommend it to all stu
dents of logic as of great scientific and prac-
tical value. We do not know of any work
that will prove more helpful to a stu
dent who has some knowledge of the sub
ject than this little book from the pen of
Mr. Cramer on the Method of Darwin.
