Life OF Roger Nolcott." just published
by Houghton, Mif6n 4 Co. The author
is William Lawrence, ID. d., bishop of
Massachusetts, whose biography of his
father, Amos A. Lawrence, is well known.
This life OF the late governor of Mas
sachusetts is one Of those attractive
biographies which spring out of lifelong
friendship. In it the Official side of Roger
Wolcott's life is subordinated to the hui
man side, and the account of the growth
of his power and influence is animated by
the sympathy that comes from close in
timacy and loyal regard. The chapters
describe the successive steps in the ca
reer Of this distinguished citizen-his boy
hood his college days, his early entrance
into public life, his service as lieutenant
governor and governor, his great activity
during the Spanish war and the closing
year of his life. Presenting as it does in
a popular form the career OF one OF the
most patriotic public servants the book
deserves a high place among recent
biographies. 1t is illustrated with repro
ductions from portraits.
