Pacific is 1.-THE Philippine Islands and
Their people" by Dean c. Worcester.
We will also note in this connection two
books on the history of the late war.
These are Cartoons of Our War With
Spain,' by Charles Nelan, and The San
tiago Campaign" by General Joseph
Wheeler. Mr. Nelan is the cartoonist of
the New York Herald, and this book is
made up of his work during the war.
General Wheeler's well-known PERSONAL
ity, the facilities he enjoyed and his pop
ularity make 1t certain that his book
will be one of the most read books on
the subject.
A chatty, pleasant narrative Is Round
about Rambles in Northern Europe" by
Charles F. King.
A careful historian and a graceful
writer is Grace King We would not be
surprised if one day she will be the rec
ognized historian of the Gulf states. At
present her New Orleans; the Place and
the People, is very good beginning
Among studies of the middle ages there
is little that is better than the books of
Paul Lacroix. Two of these books have
recently been added to our collection, viz:
Military and Religious Life in the Mid
die Ages and at the Period of the Renais-
sance.f and Science and Literature in
the Middle Ages and at the Period of the
Renaissance" The record of medieval
science of medieval literature, of the re-
ligious militant orders, as well as the stu
dies of chivalry, the feudal system and
the other characteristic features of the
period, give to these books much value.
They are extensively illustrated and in
every way attractive volumes.
'Hawaii's Story by the late Queen Lii
iuokalani, is a msnomer 1t is really Lii
iuokalani's story. The record of the
dynasty and of her claims to be the head
of the nation constitute the subject of
| the book. 1t is worth reading, but illus
trates a very unfortunate confusion of
thought. The ex-queen is making the
same mistake. that the nation is it's ruler
| rather than its people, which in England
brought Charles +. to the block; which in
France, enjoying an apparently brilliant
success under the great Louis, planted the
seeds which terminated in the untold
horrors of the revolution; which William
Hohenzollern in Germany is ostentatious-
ly cherishing to the imminent peril of his
dynasty and people; but from which Ha-
wall will not probably suffer. owing to
the fortunate fact that Queen Liliuokalani
has not the power to make a futile strug-
gle for her mistaken principles
1.-The Land of Contrasts; a Briton's
View of His American KIM by James
Fullerton Muirhead, is a study of our
country by one of the two or three En-
glishmen who are most fully posted and
most competent to express their opin-
ions.
We presume that Standish O'Grady's
History of Ireland is mainly, if not
wholly, founded on tradition. At any rate
he does not bring it down to what is gen.
orally considered historical time. None
of the events are indicated as occurring
since the beginning of the Christian era,
and most of them belong to q period be-
fore the founding of Rome or the sack of
Troy.
France Under Mazarin, with a Review
of the Administration of Richelieu," by
James Brock Perkins is an account by a
careful historian of a very important
epoch in the fascinating history of
France.
