says, as was the Authorized Version

make it plain to our understanding
that another Revision is absolutely i'm

We read some months ago with much
Ankerest the History of the German
struggle for Liberty" by Pouitney Bige-
NJ. q northern writer. We commend
Cd 1t at the time as full Of stirring in
CSdenf and entertainment. It is an ami
mated account of the great struggle
~ Germans passed through in their
4E1KOrts to throw off the Napoleonic
Examination. 1t was really an uprising
81 the people, and great events and
au0me SUCCESS followed in spite Of poo
rule and much bad ~generalship. The
~z1n1rative is full of spirit and vigor and
written by one who hates Napoleon
with a hatred equal to an Englishman.
He also dislikes prodigiously, and with
Hexy good reason, the effete Prussian
z~arfstOcracy Of those times-towards the
end OF the last century and the begin
yn1ng of this century, as we'll as for the
! then Prussian king, Frederick William
HI, a man Of uncomomn weakness,
-uascillation and incapacity without will
and with extreme p%erversity Of charac-
tez. The time is most exciting, the
events startlingly impressive, the story

Carlyle wrote not for the masses
for the great novel reading class and
the mere frivolous literature. He
wrote for reflective people, who relished
striking thoughts and noble eioquence
and high poetry and profound philoso-
ply. In no sense can you call him
popular, but in a true sense you may
call him great. Read Understandings
"Sartor Resartus," Past and Present.
THE French Revolution" and you will
see his splendid powers in high display.
You will like Nick Bottom the Weav-
er desire him OF more acquaintance
good master Cobweb." It takes time
to read Carlyle with genuine relish and
insight. His style after the first ten
years Of authorship became most ex-
traordinary. At first it repels, but
much read it becomes familiar and
marvellously attractive and virile. The
pleasure to be derived from Carlyle
after learning to really love him will
richly repay the toll and effort to ia
miliarize yourself with his marvellous
mannerism, his strange jargon, his
curious conceits, his wonderful style.

To us who greatly admired Senator
Vance and would see his people bear
his splendid services in grateful re-

no wonder hat no other native has
