destination often amounting to apathy,
largely at the bottom of their bravery. Truth

as whole they cannot be commended for hon

when he alludes in polite society to a woman,
a pig or Jew. In short, the bright colOrs of
Moorish life cannot obscure the squaor which
lies at it's roots.
But Mr.. Meakin does not come to praise these
people; he comes simply to tell the truth about
them, and he tells it with a careful industry
that leaves no important point untouched. He
explains how the Moors live and dress, what
they eat and drink and what they do from day
to day in the town and in the country. He de-
scribes the present state of the slave trade, and

Education in Morocco is at almost the lowest
ebb. The alphabet is taught, but chiefly in order
that the pupil may proceed to some acquaint-
ance in the Koran. That is the first object Of
the instruction given and il might we'll be
the last, for all the practical benefit accrung

lates to learning is the free rein which they
give to imagery in even the most ordinary dOcu-
ments One hardly knows whether to ascribe
to imaginative resources, or to a mere love Of
words, the fiambOyant rhetoric familiar in their
speech and in their writings. Here is an invi-
tation to dinner printed by Mr.. Meakn in il
lustration of Moorish epstolary style:
To my gracious master my respected lord .
This evening, please God. when the king of the
army of stars, the sun of the worlds. will turn

vein. The present volume Is devoted to the IA
miliar life OF the people, with chapters on its
ethical aspects, and with some supplementary
pages on the Berbers and Jews of Morocco.
Mr.. Meakn has lived long in the country and
loves it. He writes impartially, but with the
fullest sympathy. and no better book than his
could be put in the hands of the student or the
general reader
He sketches vividly the picturesque elements
that lie on the surface of Moorish life, and,
with the authority Of one who has made friends
with families of all classes, he takes US he
meath the surface. He shows us, within the
precincts of luxurious and humble homes alike, a
people whose traits remain essentially Oriental,
despite the close proximity OF European civil
Zation. In contrast to some Of our Northern
nations" n remarks, 1t is hardly too much
TO say that the Moor of whatever class, Is
born gentleman. for there is such grace
about the humhest. such an easy bearing, that
whenever circumstances place him in positions
calling for the exercise Of courtesy he very
seldom fails to respond, and thus it comes to
pass that in a democratic nation in which every
man of ablty-cunnng perhaps would be the
better word-may rise to the highest place, even
though he start off a slave, the self-pro-
claiming parvenu is practically non-cXistcnt
When Mr.. Meakin adds to this what he rightly
calls the pretty picture Of two elderly, dig
niied Moors sauting, ii appears as if the reader
were going to find himself in very satisfactory
company. But the Moors are, nevertheless,
very far from being an altogether admirable
people. The very dignity and air of gentle
manhood to which reference has just been made
can be traced very often to nothing more than
a purely physical source, To the loose costume
which invites and fosters a certain stateness
Of carriage. For the true dignity Of character
which is formed 10y inner forces and strength
ened by principle must look elsewhere.
Among the Muors,'' says Mr.. Meafin, the
master passions may perhaps be set down as
seIf-Iove and cupidity, supported by self-satis-
faction and religious pride" He grants them
