Robert Burns and Mrs. Dunlop,
Work Possessing Unique Interest.

OF the millions of readers and admirers
of Scotland's most beloved poet it is PROP
able that comparatively few ever heard of
nls friend and patron Mrs. Dunlop To
the appreciation and enjoyment of Burns's
poems 1t. is not necessary that they should
nave heard of her. yet those who, in addi-
ton to admiring the poet, wish to know the
man will find their wish pleasantly graft
Iied IN perusing the correspondence between
Burns and Mrs. Dunlop. Mrs. Frances Anna
Dunlop, born Wallace, was a Scotch lady
or good family, excellent breeding and most
am&bie character. Primarily Il domestic
woman and thoroughly a good woman. she
lad literary tastes and sufficient literary
sense to appreciate Burns's genius as soon
as he began to publish. She wrote him a
friendly letter ordering some copies of his
flrst volume, and the result was friendly
ana semi-literary correspondence extending
through many years. Some of the letters
which passed between them have been pub
lished before, but never all until now in a
work OF two volumes entitled Robert
Burns and Mrs. Dunlop with Fluctuations
by William Wallace" The body of the
work consists of the correspondence and the
Fluctuations embrace preface, an introduce
tloh ana much intelligent editing. There
are great many of the letters and it
would be difficult to say whether their chief
interest," Is IN the examples they furnish or
the ep1stolary style of the period, the ex-
changes of literary intelligence and conf
dences or the charming gImpseS they al
ford of the social customs of the time and
of Burns's personal character, environments
and experiences In the respect last named
the letters are rich in biographical enlight-
eminent. They are also interesting in the
evidence they furnish of purely literary
friendship and of the healthy influence
good, intelligent woman can exercise over
an erratic genius Burns'S letters abound
with revelations of personal character. In
one he says: You are right in your guess
that / am not very amenable to counsel.
Poets much my superiors have so fiattered
those who possessed the adventurous quail
ties of wealth and power that | am deter
mined to fatter no created being either in
verse or prose-" In another, written after
his return from his first stay in Edinburgh,
he says: ITO a man who has home, how
ever humble remote the scene of domeS-
tic comfort, the hustle of Edinburgh will
soon be a business of sickening disgust.
Vain pomp and glory of this world, | hate
you " Such quotations could be INDEFINITE
ly multiplied. Mrs Dunlop rebukes the
poet for his convivial habits. and he prac-
tically admits his weakness. His letters
contain many snatches of original verse.
Altogether this is a work of unique interest.

A Rit Of Revolutionary History.

Some of the best glimpses of history are
obtained by side lights cast by works which
do not aspire to the rank of history, as per-
sonaI narratives, etc. Such work is "A
French Volunteer of the War of indie
pendence." 1t is the personal narrative of
a young Frenchman, the Chevalier De Pont-
gibaud, who, like Lafayette, crossed the
Atlantic to aid the American. coionists to
gain their independence. Besides being
gentleman Of education and a soldier with
a love of adventure, he seems to have been
a shrewd observer of men and events. inc
book is a distinct addition to the personal
side of revolutionary literature and is pc
culiarly valuable because of it's presentation
of American life and the fathers OF the
Republic as seen by a French visitor. Inc
hero's stormy youth and his adventurous
and varied career give his "reminiscences an
intimate interest rarely to be found IN MS
toricaI fiction, while their historical value
IS obvious His recollections include his as
sociation with Washington, Hamilton, Burr
and other conspicuous tigures. Inc tramsl d
tion FROM the French is made by Ropert Is.

A volume of verse by James Riley-not
James Whitcomb Riley--is given the title
Songs of Two Peoples" because some of
the poems relate TO New England and
Others to Ireland and her people. The verses
do not rise above the level of fair rhyme,
and the following contains an inexcusable
error. 1t is the first stanza of THE Poets
Grave:"
When comes the gently breathing spring,
And trees their branches rise,
Mcthinks the birds more sweetly sing,
With brighter iris on the wing
Where low the poet lies.
There is no poetic license that authorizes
the use of rise" for raise" and even
the need of Il rhyme does not Justify it..
