the leading part, has an interesting his
tory which has not, until the present
month, been published. NJ. De Musset
was 40 years old when he wrote Loren
zaccio." It was while he was in
Italy. He arrived In Florence In August,
1884. and there. while in search of
themes for stories that should revivify
an almost forgotten past, he came upon
a manuscript written by Varchi, the
chrondcler of the sixteenth century. It
contained the history. with all the de-
tails. Of the tragic end Of Alexandra di

Books and Culture is by the dis
tnguished writer and critic Hamilton
w. Mabie, press of Dodd, Mead & Co.
New York. No one is better equipped
by natural ability, experience and love
for the work than Mr.. Mabie. What
ever he says of writer's and books and
the uses of books commands high re-
spect in the world of letters. In this
volume his treatment of the subject is
marked by the modesty characteristic
of the man, and by the scholarly style
and method that distinguishes all his
productions. Proceeding upon the
thought that the history of man is the
story of the ideas he has entertained
and accepted, he treats his subject as
one more closely related to the achieve
ments of civilization than most other
civilizing influences.
