liver two lectures on American history in

tionary records to be found in the Georgia

Revolution have devoted themselves with
no little energy and to the contamination
OF which they are eagerly looking forward,
believing thai there should be a compa-
ton of these records in print.
The lecturer, who has been secured, will
come to Savannah with the most ha.ter-
ing press notices, his work having been
reviewed in a way far more pleasing than
me ny lecturers may boast Of. Himself
a descendant from one of the Oldest Con-
ncctcut families, he is able to speak Of
American Revolutionary history as one
whose forefathers helped to make 1t.

can Revolution is told in condensed and
chronological form, beginning with the
first meetings in Faneuil Hall, and ending
with the surrender at Y orktown. the whole
illustrated with Photographic views Of all
the famous battle grounds as they are to-
day, and with reproductions of old prints
of the same battles and other historical
memoranda, bringing most vividly to the
minds of the audience the stirring scenes
OF the great struggle for liberty.

but it does not cover the whole truth AT least
in these degenerate days The symbol we may
observe, should only he used by writers to
whose genius it, ana it alone. can give adequate
expression. The fault Of nine-tcnths of the
symbolism in recent art and literature is that
il is adopted from malice afOrethought, as
kind of instrument which any man may use if
only he learns the trick. As a matter of fact
il is not question Of technical method, but one
