patient analysis of his subject. His knowledge
is comprehensive. but he is never pedantic in
the use that he makes Of it. On the contrary he
is one of the most readable commentators on
French affairs 1t has been our good fort
une to meet. The details of his work we have
before this examined at length. AT present we
need say no more than that this new edition of
his book testifies to the vitality and practical
usefulness of what he has written to render the
nation which he appreciates so we'll more clear

must emphasize our approval of the repubca-

MR.. BODLEY'S INTERESTING BOOK IN A
NEW FORM

FRANCE. BY John Edward Courtenay Bodlev
New Edition, with New Preface. Two Vol
uTnes in One. Octave, PIP. xviii, 5O4. The Mac
milan Company.
The mercurial temperaments of many French
legislators, even more than the foibes Of the
nation at large, are calculated to keen the alien
observer Of French affairs in an attitude ne
culiarly eXpectant If he has studied the neonIa
of the country well at first hand he has an in
Vlncible confidence in their ability to ride out
any one of the innumerable political storms by
which IT seems TO be their destiny to be afflicted
At the same time he never knows just what prob
lem the purely political class IS going to force
next upon the nation for solution. That is the
special characteristic of the French that their
political crises spring far more frequently from
the representatives OF the people than from the
people themselves We would not say that the
governmental system is something aItoeetber
detached from the instructive interests Of the
masses; If this were the case it would soon
cease to exist. But 1t is true that narl;aroar+or

welfare OF the republic, make headwav sIowI,

BISMARCK As A T4LKER.

From Sir Edward Malet's "reminiscences
Prince Bismarck was the most agreeable man
in conversation that it has ever been my good
fortune to know. He had the charm of speaking
on apparent terms of equality with whOmever he
might be addressing, providing the conversation
was with one toward whom ne was not i'll dis
posed. DR.. Schweninger has said that what
always struck him most about the Prince was
his simplicity 1t is easy for those who know
the Prince to understand what DR.. SchwentnSer
means: but / should be inclined TO substitute
the word ''luCidity' for simplicity" In his
talk he had the power of reducing the most COM
plex questions 10 their simplest form He would
explain his views with a precision which exClud-
ed all doubt to the meaning which he in
tended to convey. He would often hesitate until
he could find the exact word to express what
was in his mind. He seemed to have a hatred
for ambiguity. He always spoke TO me in Eng
liSh in which he was fluent but IL he had a
doubt about his being clear about any particular
word he would ask To help him. He would
give me the word in German or in French until
L could give it's exact counterpart in English.

MORE LOVE LETTERS.
A PARODY BY MR. BARRY PAIN.

ANOTHER ENGLsHwOMAN's LOVE LET
TIERS By Barry Pain. l6mo., PIP. Ga. G. P.
Putnam's Sons.
Mr. Pain prefaces his little skit on IAN Eng
lishwomans Love Letters with the inevitable
contribution 10 the discussion Of that book
which has been raging in the newspapers. He
has his "doots' about the letters, declaring that
they blended the two styles which I love least
the precious and the shoddy-and smelled OF
ten years ago" Nevertheless. he thinks the
hook has value. If it had not, he wisely OBJ
serves, Il should never have dreamed of having
a little fun with it; servants break only valuable
things" Furthermore. he is very solemn the
question Of the genuineness of the letters. 1T
is difficult imagine" he remarks. that any
body would have the treacherous impudicity TO
publish the love letters of woman recently
dead. without even plea of historical interest.
Nothing earth could excuse such publica-
ton, and one would be sorry to be in the
most remote manner connected with it. Those
letters are not genuine" We breathe more
| freely, of course. But like Mr.. Pain better
! when he puts off this rather Irrelevant gravity
and gets to business. Here is a sample of his
fooling:
