as a valuable record of the chief events

ed, moreover, by those qualities that
won for the two previous volumes so
wide a popularity; by the swift move
ment, the skillful summarizing Of
events and the characters that shaped

together with the authors optimistic
outlook makes the narrative fairly
glow Altogether the work has the at
tractiveness of romance, as we'll as the
importance of a contemporaneous his
torical document, written by man
who played a significant part in many
of the events described, and was close
ly associated with many of the leading
personages. The comparison which Mr..
Mccarthy makes between Tennyson and
Browning Illustrates perhaps, as ad-
mirably as anthing in the book, his fe-
licitously lightness of touch: 1T is a
curious fact that Tennyson, who had
