Lord Ronald Cover completes with this vol
ume his history of EngIands great prison In
admirably systematic fashion he carries the
record down through successive reigns to the
present day. adding several interesting appen-
dice and a good index. This volume, like the
frst one, is lavishly illustrated from old poT-
traits and prints. and from recent photographs
an sketches. The collection Of Illustrations
printed in these two volumes is indeed, one OF
uncommon value. Lord Ronald Cover has APP

We regret that We cannot reproduce half
dozen of these. but We must give on this occa-
sion al least one of them. the portrait of Lady
lane Grey which is a peculiarly charming and
interesting souvenir Of that unfortunate lady.
TIE volume before us opens with some cheer
f,r e1isod,s notably with the visit Of James
10 the Tower in 1908. when tremendous salute
WAS discharged in his honor, the pieces of ord
nance being SO numerous and the gunners per-
forming their duties so skilfUlly that as an old
account states a peale Of SO good order was
never heard before. which was most commenda-
bic to al sorts. and very acceptable to the
King" The author alludes here also. to Shake

how with eight other actors he walked from
the Tower Of London to Westminster in the
PROCESSION which accompanied the King in his
formal entry into London" But, these harmless
matters being disposed Of. Lord Ronald Cover

lingo Jones is one of the most interesting
figures in the history Of English architecture
He was strongly Influenced by classical Italian
models. but IA" was a man of genuine gifts, if
not Of absolute genius, and so his designs
possess a great vitality. Mr.. Triggs and MI
Tanner hay, rendered good service to architects
ana students in preparing this handsome vol
ume They give a sufficient survey of their
hero's career sk"tching his personality and set
ting forth ample record as possible of his
relations to the royal ana other patrons of his
time. They illustrate all of the existing archi-
carried out by him. and certain others of which
record has been preserved after their demoli-
tton. Some of their Illustrations are from pho
toGraphs, but most of them are reproduced
from measured drawings. This is especially to
he commended, tnasmuch the work of lingo
Jones is peculiarly adapted to linear representa-
tion.
The statclin,ss and purity of his best de-
signs are the more interesting when we con-
sid,r the strar@e Tasks with which he often
occupied. He colaborated with Ben Jonson in
tn preTaratiou Of the stage masques which
were 50 much in favor at the English court in
the seventeenth century, and this means that
ne was practiacd in the creation of effects far
more hamboylnt than classical. for all that
they were not without clements suggestive of
the classics. JonsoE himself has recorded his

was put in the Tower for his own good, 10 es-
cape the fury OF the mob; he relates pictu-
resquely the attempt Of Colonel Blood to steal
the regalia, which was so strangely pardoned
by Charles H. and he gives some Of his best
pages to the executions of Lord Balmerno, Lord
Kilmarnock and Lord Lovat. But there is, in
deed no part Of this work which does not con-
tain good material. The book is printed in per
feet form, and, as remarked in reviewing the
first volume only few weeks ago this is a
memorial of the Tower Of London which should
prove Indispensable to every reader interested
in English history.

commission than to improving the
condition of the oil producers, but
possibly Mr.. Phillips has arrived at
the conclusion that..it Is a thankless
undertaking to try to improve the
condition of a class who are wholly
Indifferent to the opportunities that
have been offered them. Originally,
the subscribers to the capital stock
of the companies which now form
the Pure Oh company, were princi-
pally from the upper oil fields and
from Mr.. Phillips own county Of
Butler. The subscribers In the
upper fields evidently become tired
of waiting for the benefits of
competition which never came. and
are now engaged In conducting
their own pipe lines and refining
their own oil. No one who Is &C
quainted with Mr.. Phillips will at.
tribute motives of selfshness to his
efforts to promote competition, but
as before suggested, 1t may be quite
different with those wealthy refners
and two or three heavy producers,
who pass the control to themselves.
Like the producers In the upper
fields, the independent producers
of the southwest should see to 1t
that they protect their own inter
ests and cut loose from the
ridiculous proposition of per-
hitting one oil buyer to fix the
price for a commodity, tn e produc-
ton of which Is so much below the
consumption. No relief Is In sight
from either the Standard Oil Trust
or the Pure Oil company. The
producers.of the northern fields have
long since made the discovery and
are adapting the means to protect
themselves. While Mr.. Phillips
Is no doubt sincere In his efforts, he
Is Aoundering In the slough of
misplaced confidence and the
sooner he realizes the impossibility,
oflarge individual refining interests
and a scattered producing interest
working to the advantage of both
the sooner will the benefits come
to the producers.

to the statement recently made by
William Rockefeller In the public

Ing the report submitted to me,
which he styles "a minority report.
I concurred In and signed the re-
port of the commission. But as Its
recommendation of remedies was
very brief, concluded the law un-
der which we acted called for a
fuller statement as to what the vo-
luminous evidence we had taken
proved, and more full and specific
recommendations as to remedial
legislation. I. therefore, submitted
a supplemental report in which the
commissioners were not asked to
join, and In which the evils were
set forth, quoting literally from the
testimony in support of the con-
illusions reached, and submitting
specific recommendations as to leg
