Memoir and Brief Notes by w 4a,o n nm
Sis Dodd Mead & Co.
During the English occupation OF the Cape OF
Good Hope. before it's cession to the Dutch IN
1902, a brilliant Irish lady. Lady Anne barnard
visited South Africa as the wife Of the Secretary
Of the Colony. The several years that she re-
NAMED there are chroniced in series OF letters
10 her friend. Henry Dundas. Secretary for war
in Pitts first administration. afterward Wis
count Melville. For a hundred years they re-
rnained among the archives of Melville Castle
They are now published in little volume of
peculiar timeliness
LADY Barnard found that nothing could be
finer than the coup d'oei from the bay; yet
nothing can have little affinity with each
other as the bold perpendicular mountains. bare
and rocky and the low white card houses,
which from the distance seem smaller than they
are and scarce large enough to hold an ant.
But this is only appearance; in reality they are
excellent" There complaint even then of
too great complaisance toward the Dutch. Lady
Barnard fancies that Sir James Craig. being too
eager 10 obtain the Cape. made the terms of
capitulation unnecessarily beneficial TO the
Dutch" and had unwittingly made himself the
protector of Dutch impositions put upon our
troops" Yet General Craig was not sangune
in his expectations of benefits to England from
the Cape:
He boldly said that the expectations formed
from it. and of il. too high. Ad-
Tniral Pringle backed this gloomy view with six
and thirty FOUNDER corroborations. AS
the colony improved and peopled he thought IT
would only prove a second America, and
would be more likely in time to rob us of India
than to secure il for us.
Life at the Cape was extravagantly dear. The
English in society devoted themselves to concili-
ating the Dutch. Lady Barnard finds the Dutch
women unattrac ctive; ''graces and charms were
sadly lacking. though they had kind OF vulgar
snartness. which, I suppose. passes for wit.
She made an interesting tour in the INTERIOR
staying at Boer farmhouses from time 10 time
The sons Of the families she found did hardly
anything beyond eating and smoking, scarcely
experimenting the work of the farms which is
carried on by slaves" The farmers were bet
ter contented with the English government than
the people in the town. yet all benefit by It,
except a few who have lost monopolies.
Lady Barnard's letters admirably written.
the work of a clever and observant woman, and
they give a clear impression Of the state or So
ciety and politics at the Cape a century ago.

Commerce have created the American Republic:
and whose names are INSCRIBED in ne .a Han % OF
vii 1872 G. P. Putnam's Sons.
While the Hall Of Fame has not added any
lustre TO the renown Of the men whose names
are inscribed upon it, nor made them Of any
greater Importance the history of the coun-
try than they were before, il has brought them
collectively again the minds Of the public
1t has made not inappropriate renewed esti-
mate of what they stand for and what has
given them their title TO immortality. Such an
estimate Mr.. George Cary Eggleston has under
taken TO give in this handsome volume He has
contributed sketches of the twenty-nine i'm
rnortaIs critical rather than biographical There
are portraits of all the men, Of varying degrees
Of excellence the best being very good, all taken
from authoritative portraits.
Mr EggIeston in his preface has considerable
10 say in criticism Of the selection Of names.
especially as to the omissions. which he thinks
in most cases due to the imperfect informa ton
Of the electoral body. Thus there Is wonder
saws he. that Asa Gray was admitted while his
mentor and master. John Torrey, had but a
single vote Again, there is wonder why Ben
fanain West was not even nominated for con-
sideration among the artists. Most competent
Judges however, will applaud the exclusion OF
this mediocre painter Notwithstanding the per-
sonaI success he made when success in England
was difficult for Americans. If Ell Whitney was
chosen why was not Elias Howe? On the other
hand Mr.. Eggleston defends the admission OF
Fulton and Morse, 10 the exclusion OF Fltch
and Henry as the men who really dld the
things that are connected in the popular mind
with their names.
Mr Egglestons criticism is Of a kind that
throws real light the work Of the men ne
discusses: il is not mere panegyric. and he does
not hesitate 10 say the unfavorable thing Where
he believes il merited. Thus Franklin's re
erettable lack Of sentiment" as shown in his
treatment OF his fancee and wife-a cold blood
ed and rather repusive story" which IN ms
autobiography he presents in scarcely less
than a shocking light; and Webster's lack or
moral conviction. Of any efficient sense OF abld-
ing moral obligation and controlling conviction
is set forth unsparingly. 1t is, of course, not
10 be expected that a compilation Of biography
sucb as this should add anything to the ascer-
tanned facts in the careers Of great men, or es-
tablish any new point Of view for the judgment
Of their work. The most that can be expected
is 10 give a sound and symmetrical appraisal
and TO put into due relief the really important
elements of their careers This Mr.. Eggleston
has done with good measure OF success.
