tack at the two narrow cart road entrances
beneath the cliffs to the Lower Town. It was
a desperate undertaking. and for possession Of
the least tenable and least desirable portion Of
the town, but Mr.. Goldman holds that it was
the best thing to be done under the circum-
stances. The Upper Town would still be de-
fensible if the Lower Town was gained, but the
moral effect of the victory would be great and
the Canadians, faced with the destruction OF
their warehouses; might force Carleton to make
terms. Montgomery led the attack on the west
road, which was heavily barricaded. He has
been criticised for throwing away the most
valuable life in the expedition, but Mr.. Goldman
defends him on the ground that with his
trained troops his personal leadership vas
necessary. This view is sustained by the fact
that when he was killed the Americans fed in
panic. Up to that minute their charge had
been bold that the British themselves ran
and only returned 10 their stockades when they
found they We're not pursued. If Montgomery
had escaped that one volIey the road would
have been gained and his men would have fol
lowed him into Quebec. Arnold wounded

Virginia rifiemen rushed the guard and took
half Of The Lower Town, going as far as the
foot OF Mountain-st.. the steep and almost i'm
pregnabIe door to the Upper Town. This was
the appointed rendezvous with Montgomery
and there they awaited the general who never
came Morgan. Mt. Goldman thinks, missed a
great opportunity. He obeyed orders when, if
he had only realized it, victory was to be had
by disobedience. When he reached Mountain

defensible position in the heart Of the Upper
Town. cut off The British remaining below, and
opened the way for the entrance of the Anleri-
can army. When later he attempted TO do
this the British had recovered from their panic
and manned the guns commanding Mountain

Town. which would in itself have been a severe
hlow to tho British. or even To retreat.

With this volume Heer Rooses completes the
set Of four in which with the aid of a
siderable staff of contributors, he has been
forming an exhibition in little OF the Dutch
artists of the present time. It is a welcome
publication. admirable not only for the thor
ough and artistic manner in which it has been
prepared but because it deals with a theme Cf
living interest one fraught with pleasure to the
observer of modern art. In nine cases out o.
ten your Dutch painter is born d tonalist. He
grows up amid landscape which is often sunny
and brilliant but which lies frequently be-
meath gray skies and is permeated with
quietude that he inevitably paints it in re-
strained and even sombre terms. There is evi-
dentIy. too. in the Dutch nature an element Of
pensive gravity which disinclines him to gay
coIors He leaves it to the foreigner to paint
in all their pIangent gorgeousness, his varie-
gated tulip fields. For his own part. he prefers
to be subdued and even elegiac. His country
suits his mood, and so, while it is beyond ques-
tion that Dutch art in the nineteenth century
possesses on a superficial examination. a GER
tain monotony. it IS remarkably fun of truth
It is also remarkably full Of beauty.
The present volume bears out this judgment,
inspired by th9se which have come before. Al
though one of the artists represented, the late
Alexander Korff. a painter OF genre more anec-
dotic than artistic, strikes a discordant note,
the rest are all faithful to the reposeful, poetic
naturaIism which is the mark Of the school
