The Franks: From Their origin as a
Confederacy TO the Establishment Of the
Kingdom OF France and the German En-
pire. BY Lewis Sergeant. G. p Put
MANS Sons. New York. London.
For sale by the George NJ. West Co.
We have had many pleasant and ex-
cellent reasons for enthusiasm as the
succeeding volumes of the STORY OF the
Nations series have made their appear
ance, for. while of course there nave
been degrees in the interest OF the vol
umes, each has been sufficiently valuable
TO Justify much praise. Regarding this
present one, however, we really feel h Ia
enthusiasm IN the s%uperlative degree Is
quite justified, and can say after a care
full reading, that in our Judgment
tho vlrile people with whom II
deals nave not often received
more sympathetic just or enter
tanning attention. The last adjective is
advisedly used. Mr.. Sergeant has used
his facts I'm p manner that gives TO his
book an interest entirely apart from its
historical one. The story Of the Franks,
especially of the earlier Franks, is, as he
truly says, rich in fable. but poor in
history. In tho legend Of Clovis, and
even in the legend OF Charles the Great,
IL Is a work of considerable difficulty TO
separate what is historically accurate
from that which has at best a dubious
origin. The aim In this volume has been
TO present a general outline Of the his
tory Of the Franks, and, in doing so, 10
cOnhne himself almost exclusively 10
facts which have a sure foundation. That
aim implied that the greater part OF the
volume should be devoted TO periods In
which the historical foundation was least
secure-to the long struggle between Ro-
mans and Teutons, during which the
tribes on the east of the Rhine were per-
petually combining against their enemies
until the Frank Confederacy clearly
emerged. and to the subsequent Merov-
ingian period, during which the Franks
were gradually subjecting the whole or
Gaul. IL is IN this domain, overgrown as
il is with fable, and meagerly as its
central facts have been dealt with by
historians. that the student OF history
should find his greatest attraction. MI.
Sergeant has ventured to support an
Interpretation Of a particular passage In
Gregory Of Tours which has been either
ignored or %repudiated for more than a
thousand years. The reader, says he must
decide for himself as to the probable orr
gin OF the Franks, and the position Of
Gregory's "Dispargum." but in n case
Il is impossible that we should continue
TO attach the slightest credence to the
imaginary Belgic Thuringia- A super

BEIEAGURED: A Story OF the Up
lands Of Baden IN the Seventeenth Cen
fury. BY Herman II. KOerner. c. 2.
Putnam's Sons. New York. London.
For sale by George NJ. West Company.
The effort which Mr.. Koerner has put
into this volume is worthy Of more sue
cessful results than has crowned them
here. AS a matter Of fact he has at
tanned but Indifferent results. The period
with which it deals Is that following the
Thirty Years War, when Gustavus
Adolphus OF Sweden vas sweeping al
before him in Germany. II Is therefore
necessarily filled with sanguinary detail
against a background OF intrigue and di-
plomacy, so that sustained and stirring
interest might almost be assumed as a
matter of course. But It may not b
taken as a matter Of course, for Mr.
Koerner has not the vigorous touch
which %reproduces wildly. and his book is
~unqualifedly dull.
