 Messrs. Mcclure Phillips 6 Co. write to us concerning their new book, Drey- fus' Five Years of My Life" This work is ours by right. From the day when one of our editors was at the Rennes trial and heard Dreyfus cry to General Mercier, proclaiming his inno- cence, we have worked unramittlngly to secure this unique document, which we have felt sure would take perma- nent place in the literature of the world. The other literature of the affair will, no doubt, pass away; some great hsto- rian will write the bewildering story in historical prospective. But this plain, straightforward narrative of the victim is bound to be the one document of ab- sorbing human interest which will eur f vive the mass of contemporary litera- ture of the famous Dreyfus affair be- f cause it is. above all the story of | human being under suffering and inn pending tragedy"
