Every mile a battle.
Every battle victory.

Wrought with his hand and his head;
March'd, and thought and fought.

1t is well known that America has
drawn largely upon her men-of-lctters, In
filling diplomatic posts of confidence, but

an article In the October Critic, TO how
great an extent she has done so: The list
of american Author-Diplomats" is in
deed a most striking one. including several
names of the greatest prominence in lit
erature, II not in diplomacy. 1t begins
with Benjamin Franklin, equally great in
each walk in life. and goes on with Wash
ington Irviug-the first American author
to become known in Europe purely as n
man-of-letters-George Bancroft ]. L.
Motley. ]. r. Lowell. John Bigelow. Eu-
gene Schuyler. DIR. Andrew ID. White.
Bayard Taylor, George II. Boxer. Gen.
Lew Wallace. W. w. Astor. whitelaw
Reid. and Colonel John Hay-the only one
of the number to become the head of the
state department. Even in the consular
service the same tendency of our govern
ment to honor letters has been strikingly
manifested. the list OF consuis including
the names Of Nathaniel Hawthorne. John

nance which Is to be published immedi-
ately by D. Appleton and Company. The

dealing with the war itself include sin
gularly vivid and dramatic accounts of
the capture of Washington by the Brit
ish. and the battle OF New Orleans. both
noteworthy contributions TO American lit
erature. Another feature of the book is
the adroit domination of views between
the east and the west OF that time and
the characterizations of sediment in New
England. The story moves brisISly, and II
is told with fine spirit and humor. On
the social and political. as well as the
romantic and military sides this novel will
be ranked an important work of fic-
tion, and a valuable contribution toward
a better knowledge OF American life in the
past.
