One of the remarkable novels of the
month is "The Real Benedict Arnold"
just issued by A. S.'Barnes & Co. New
York, the author is Charles Burr Todd.
While not condoning Arnolds treason,
Mr.. Todd emphasizes his invaluable
services to America, and shows con-
clusively that he four times saved the
cause of the Colonies: first at the battle
of Valcour's Island on Lake Champlain
(the first naval battle, by the way, in
which our arms were engaged,) where
by his desperate valor, he gave the
British such wholesome respect for
American arms that they gave up their
plan of invasion from the north that
year, second by raising the siege of Fort
Stanwix in the Mohawk Valley and
putting to flight st. Leger's invading
army marching to aid Burgoyne, and
third and fourth by winning the two
battles of Saratoga, which, coujoined,
Cressy included as one of the fifteen
decisive battles of the world. Mr.. Todd
also shows that it was the influence of
Arnold's wife and his fear of losing her
should her reasonable correspondence
with the British officers he discovered,
which induced Arnold to betray his
county, and not the gross injustice of
Congress nor the calamities of paper
generals-the motives generally ascribed.
rhe book is an original and unique con-
tribution to revolutionary history. The
tive; especially noteworthy is the repro
duction of an old print representing the
burning of Arnold in efiigy.
