THE Conquerorv by Gertrude
Franlin Atherton. The romantic
story of Hamilton's life has never
been told in it's completeness. The
present story by Mrs. Atherton has
been written after an exhaustive re-
search into Hamiltons family rec
ords, and also into the public records
of the West India Islands, where he
was born and spent his boyhood. Mrs.
Anterior has been able to solve the
vexed question of Hamilton's birth,
and her story gives not only full &C
count of his mother, but also of his
own childhood and boyhood. For the
rest it is a consecutive narrative of
Hamilton's life, based entirely on the
facts, but is treated in the fashion Of
story instead of with the usual con-
ventional biographical method. Many
incidents of Hamilton's life which in
themselves sound more as if belong
ing to fiction than fact have hereto
| fore been merely stated by his biog-
raphers as the dryest matter of fact
whereas Mrs. Atherton has thrown in
to their proper worth these startling
and romantic episodes of his life
While adhering in the closest possible
manner to the actual facts of Ham
ilton's life, Mrs. Anterior has writ
ten his lifes story in the manner o
fiction, adding UNNECESSARILY to its
interest. Hamilton is alive to thu
reader. One gains a picture of thu
man from his bOyhood up, the MAJ
himself moving and acting through
out his many-sided career-brilliant
generous, favorite of women, ant
the astute political genius. Wash
ington, Lafayette, Lawrence, Adams
Madison, Burr, and all Hamilton
personal friends and enemies ar
dramatis personae in this story Eacl
has formed the basis of careful stud
!, by the author and has then found hi
, place among the personages of tn
story who were to become ultimatel
/ so prominent, in our history.
THE 18th District" by Brand Whit
lock. This is a story of high order
By it's scope and strength it deserve
to be spoken of as novel-and tina
