bers Of the same family. Both are we'll
known journalists and magazine writer's
and editors. This book consists of sketches
of native American authors, some living
and some dead. The elders did not write
the sketches, the writer Of each one having
been selected by the subject of IL, but they
nave edited the work with much intelli-
gence. The sketches appeared from time to
time in The Critic, where they attracted
particular attention by reason Of their au-
thenticity as well as for the names of the
subjects and the writers. They include char
acter sketches and personal descriptions of
thirty American authors, including among
the rest Thomas Bailey Aldrich, F. Marion

OF the early American pioneers who
blazed the way for the settlement and
civilization of the West there was none
who has excited more popular interest than
Daniel Boone. He was the typical back
woodsman of the transallegheny region.
other men rendered greater public service
than he and far surpassed him as common
wealth builders. But as a hunter, explorer,
surveyor, land pilot and Indian fighter-in
short, as an all around frontiersman, he
a no equal. His life. was filled to the
brim with p~erilous adventures, and his pic
turesque career possesses a sort Of ro-
mantle interest. 1t is well told in daniel
Boone" by Reuben G. Thwaites. There
is a sort of laziness about the life of
Boone, as about most of the pioneers of
the period in which he lived. His biog-
rapher must have had difficulty in collat-
ing facts for a connected narrative of his
career, but he has CLEANED thoroughly and
made good use of his material. If he has
not added much to the previously known
facts of Boone's life he has presented them
in a more connected form than they have
ever been offered before, and has fused
them. as it were. with his own knowledge
OF the history Of the times and of pioneer
life in such a way as to make the narra-
tive much more readable thar a mere re-
cital OF facts and dates would be. The
result affords a distinct impression of
Boone's personality. 1t is interesting TO
learn that this most famous frontiersman.
hunter, trapper and Indian fighter was the
son of Quaker parents, from England. and
that he himself was brought up in Quaker
environments. Daniel was born on a from
tier farm in Pennsylvania, Feb. IL. 17s5.

DANIEL WEBSTER.

John Bach McMaster, historian, has
stepped aside from his life work and writ
ten a biography of the great New England
statesman, Daniel Webster, that Is fresh
and readable. More Of the personal side Of
the man might have been given, but enough
light is thrown here and there on his char
acteristics to indicate that he was greater
when enacting the role of a statesman than
in the more prosaic things of life. His
career In both houses OF Congress showed
him TO be eminent only when he could use
his oratorical powers, which were phenom-
email and irresistible. He was not a con-
structive statesman. He was, while in
Washington, especially when a member Of
the lower house. apparently more interest
ed in his practice before the Supreme Court
than in his legislative duties. the reason
being that the law brought him a large
income for those days, averaging as high
as SIS, 900 a year. However, he was always
ready to address either branch that he hap
pened to be serving in when any constitu-
tional question arose, his knowledge of our
fundamental law being his greatest stock
in trade. He had studied the Constitution
from boyhood, had mastered all it's mean
ings and was capable of interpreting it
clearly in the crises that arose during his
public life. Therefore II is interesting to
note that his speeches are an original
mine of argument and Information on the
subjects of the tariff, the money question,
States rights, the Union of the States,
whether the Constitution followed the flag
and many o~thers-and that he left little to
be said by later orators and writer's on
the side of these matters which he es-
any constitutional question, either by study
or intuition, and when he was done with
it nothing was left to say. His great
speeches in reply to Hayne and Calhoun
are marvels of oratory, and the events
that brought them out are graphically de-
webster's life were full of disappointment.
because Of his failure to get the nomination
for President, and his work as secretary Of
state was not OF the highest order for the
reason that he was continually Influenced
in all that he did by the hope of making
friends who would aid him in attaining his
ambition to hold the highest office in the
land. The last chapters of the book are
records of the bitterness that comes to
an ambitious and disappointed statesman,
and in all our history there is no more
striking example of the uncertain rewards
of politics tina that furnished by the life
of Daniel Webster. The book is hand
somely illustrated and is published by the
Century Company, New York.

worthy to observe the abundant references
to the plays of Shakespeare. Every Inn
portant crisis is the occasion for a we'll
selected reference.
Finally, the work shows a firm grasp or
the movements and men Of the reign or
the last of the S~tuarts, a perfectly clear
and simple presentation of material which
in the hands Of many would be mereicon-
fusion. Some may say that the volumes
lack the abstract phraseology that creep
into ~pretentious historical works. Mr.. Nc
Carly would consider this. the best praise
which his book could receive. m

ing them to the many people who are in

literature.

WILLIAM MORRIS.

called himself "the idle singer Of an empty
day." He carved in stone, modelled in clay,
made designs for stained-glass windows,

essays, stories, laid out gardens-the list is
not exhausted. The way that one man
could do all this. could be artist, artisan,
poet and social reformer, is well told by
Elizabeth Luther Cary in her book. Miss
Cary has not gone into small details of pri-
vate life, but has given, as she says her
endeavor was. "a picture of Morris's busy
career not less vivid for the absence of de-
tail. and showing only the man and his
work as they appeared to the outer pub
lie" The point she makes plain is that
Morris, the man, is greater than Norris.
the worker. With all his labor we do not
feel sure that any of it will last. but his
influence, that which he did to stimulate
others toward art production n interest
in art, is not to be overestimated. One who
holds to the principle of beauty i'm ali
things, who breaches it, practices It, may
not create that which is fm~perishable, but
he furthers the possibility Of such creation.
And certainly Morris, the man, is to be
admired when, loving art and labor as he
did, he turned from his weaving, his de-
signing, his poetry, to working with and
for the Socialist League. To talk, to lee
ture, often under depressing conditions: TO

among men who, man. of them, had not
the slightest appreciation of him, must
have been heavy business. But his belief
in mankind was high, his hopes keen. He
desired class distinctions done away with.
He wished the barriers down between rich
and poor. and that every man should labor
for the common good. He longed for men
to have joy in their work. He once sang:
Come hither. lads. and hearken,
For a tale there is to tell

critic or connoisseur. but merely under
took to present the meaning and history
of each work in such a way that the in
telligent reader might judge for himself Of
the aesthetic beauty and success Of the
matter before him. Says his preface to
Venice: ITO recognize the fact that this is

episode in the legend Of St. Philip, is not
art criticism, but it is almost an indis-
pensable prelude to the formation of a
right and sound Judgment. We must know
what the artist was trying to represent be-
fore we can feel sure of what success he
has attained in his representations" He has
told, in short, the things essential to an
intelligent enjoyment Of a visit to the sew
eral cities of which he wrote, and told
them In an interesting way. The books are
invaluable to intending travellers and hard
ly less so to readers who stay at home. A
