LecLy on American History.

THE American Revolution u763-17SO"
is a little volume composed of chapters
from The History of England in the
Eighteenth Century" by William Edward
Hartpole Lecky, and dealing with Ameri-
can affairs. II is arranged and edited
by James Albert Woodburn, pro-
fessor OF American history and poi
tics in Indiana University. The
value of Leckys historical writings is so
well known that nothing need b. said
about the quality of this little wok. 1t
will prove interesting to all students OF
history, on account of the different point
of view from which the events OF our Rev
olution are described, and to those who
have already perused the history from
which these chapters are taken 1t will still
be convenient to have them in this com
pact form. The book is especially suite |
TO use in school Libraries or among a
teachers books of reference. (New 70 k:

among other things. that Australians have
never been able to regard the unemployed
as a necessary feature in their economic
system. 1t appears that the problem was
presented to them in its most acute form,
and contrasted with the great wealth ac-
cruing from the gold mines, and the re-
suit has been a considerable amount of
humanitarian legislation which this his
torian evidently regards as unwise. Edu
cation in the state schools is free and
compulsory in most of the provinces. In
short 1t looks very much as if the Aus
tralians. confronted in their new conditions
with the old. old problems of the eco
nomic world. had solved them after n fash
ion by determining that there shall be TO
destitute old people, no ignorant children,
and ne unemployed workmen, even il the
state has to step in to prevent il. In spite
of his apparent doubts as to the results
of this humanitarian policy. the author
says that in the three provinces where the
paternal action of the government is car
be more thrift among the working classes
than elsewhere. Moreover. he says that
the workmen are generally disposed to seek
relief for their troubles by the ballot
rather than by a strike, and that is surely
. coed thing. Altogether. there is Just
enough resemblance between the govern
ment of Australia and our own republic
to make a study of the conditions there
instructive. (London: T. Fisher Unwin.)

In Australia.

"Australasian Democracy" by Henry
De r. Walker, is book OF considerable
bulk, discussing the politics and various
problems. social and commercial, which
exist in the Australian Federation. While
II will have its value to those who are in
terested in this particular subject. and
also to the student of political economy, it
is not a book which will appeal to the gen
eral reader. 1t is not written with a view
to very general popularity. Nevertheless,
it contains much that will interest the stu
dents of national affairs, and IL is well
written. Some of the subjects handled are
the contrast between Western and Eastern
Australia the Labor party in New South
Wales. labor and other problems in
Queensland, the land policy of New Zoa-
land, the growth and development of
Western Australia, the conditions in Tas-
mania, woman's suffrage In the colonies
and the evolution Of the federal govern
ment.
According 10 Mr.. Walker, Australia is
one of the most democratic countries in
the world. owing 10 the immense number
OF emiErants who arrived there in the
SOS. when gold was discovered. Until
that time the land had been held by men
who would, in time. have formed them
selves into landed aristocracy: but the
miners. with their energy and determine
tion, and the wealth gained in their search
for gold, upset all that scheme of things.
Curiously enough. another development due
TO the gold discoveries is a sort of state
socialism, whose cause and results Mr..
Walker discusses at some length. He says,

ioUtS
"The Court of the Second Empire" by
Imbert de Saint Armand, is a careful and
scholarly study of the court of Louis Ma
poleon during the three years between the
Crimean and the Italian war. The sub
iects considered are the treaty Of Paris, the
baptism of the Prince Imperial, the coro-
nation of Car Alexander II, the conspiracy
of Orsini to assassinate the Emperor Ma
poleon. and the diplomatic meetings which
took place just before the war for Italian
liberation. There are four portraits, and
the work is written in NJ. Saint Armand's
usual dignified, dispassionate and pleasing
style
The view which this author takes of Ma
poleon HI, is slightly different from that OF
other historians. Many have been inclined
to think of this sovereign as dreamer. tim
id, irresolute. and vacillatiug. This writer
on the contrary, regards him as a man of
extraordinary audacity and vigor, and
points out that few men of the day had
hand in so many formidable enterprises.
NJ. de Saint-Armand's idea is that the
remarkable imperturbability, almost apa-
thy, which was shown by the Emperor un-
der all circumstances, was only a mask
put on to conceal a naturally impetuous
and passionate nature. 1t is recorded of
him that in childhood he was subject to
MS OIL anger IN WnlcH ne lOSt all control
of himself; and il would appear that in
growing up he had come 10 understand
the danger of this and determined to
achieve apparent, if not real, mastery of
himself II is said that as Emperor he
was as tranquil in prosperity as in adyer
sity. Having succeeded in spite of the
predictions of others, he had confidence
only in his own opinion, and seems to have
evolved a policy so entirely original with
himself that it was not understood by those
of his time. One of his greatest delights
was to go among his soldiers and he be-
lieved himself a military man of the first
order. One of his dreams was 4 war to
drive the Austrans out of Italy. in which
conflict he should be the general in COM
mand. His sympathy with Italy arose
partly from the fact that he felt it to be
the land of his ancestors. and partly from
the service which Italian troops had rem
dered France. Thus il appears that
through the three years chronicled in this
book he was continually working toward
the Italian war. In this connection the
author remarks significantly:
The apostle of nationalities never suspected
that he would be its martyr.
With its two companions, Louis Napo-
leon and Mademoiseile de Montiio' and
Napoleon III and His Court" the present
volume forms a valuable addition to the
