The author then follows up with de-
scription of the terrific political struggle
between the. contending factions which
finally burst forth in all the horrors of the
Commune.
Paris, Marseilles, Toulouse and Narbon
were soon to be converted into verita BILE

struggle which for madness and un-

in the history of the human family.
Many new events--that is events which

HENRY WARD BEECHER.
Henry Ward Beecher: BY Lyman Ab.
bolt. sf.75: Boston and Ne" YORK:
Dr.. Abbott made the acquaintance OF
Beecher in 1854, and was close and lntl-
mate friend of his from that time forward.
He attended DR.. Bee cher.s church in
Brooklyn, and is thus well qualified to
give an outline of, the charact of the
great preacher The book is therefore
not so much a history of the life OF
character as he appeared to DR.. Abbott.
The career of Beecher as an antl.siavery
reformer before and during the civil war
period, he tells in five chapters, full o.
historical matter of the utmost value. Or
especial Importance is the chapter ON MI
Beecher's anti-sIavery campaign in Eng
land in 1868. He reached London IN the
autumn OF that year from season on tne
fore sailing for New York. But fate Or
dered otherwise. At that time the SYM
pathy of the English people, more espe-
cially the aristocratic and moneyed class

South, and the man who dared to speak
in behalf Of the American cause was
sure to invite every species of Insult and
indignity.'' This sympathy for the South
and hatred of the North had at the time
of Mr.. Beechers arrival assumed alarm
ing proportions. and rurnors were aftoat
to the effect that the British government,
in all probability would be forced by pub
lie sentiment 20 intervene in the struggle
then going 70. ward in America in behalf
of the South. Such was the state of feel
ing when Er. Eeecher reached England.
The Americans residing in London were,
Of course, greatly alarmed over such
prospect. and after much trouble, per-
