The author claims that this is book
for Americans, though he has dedicated
Il TO the Duchess of Marlborough Gan
American), "in testimony OF the friend
ship entertained for England by America,
which, although not generally appreci-
ated, lives ready TO assert itself In thu
time of need" We suppose II is appre-
ciated by our Consuelos who capture for
husbands English Dukes or other mobiles.
Mr.. Vickers served in the Union army
during its war against our Confederacy,
and, as might be expected, his Muse In
dulges in loyal strains; but he claims that
he has done much to bring about frater-
nifty between the Union and Confederate
veterans. Some of his poems have been
adopted for purposes OF elocution and
defamation. We are tempted to quote
one short one on "Memorlal-Day," but
our Memorial-Days, just now recurring,
will be adequately and appropriately re-
membered and observed without any
such aid.
