LETTERS OF GEN. LEE.

The volume. entitled " Recollcctions
and Letters of Gen. Robert t. Lee,
hv his son, X. +. Lee. which has Just
been published, while AN interesting
addition to the literature OF the Civil
war. is particularly valuable for the
insight it gives into the private life
and character of Gen. Lee, The work
is not intended as ii history OF the
Civil war. and as far as this feature
of the work is concerned, it contrib
utes nothing new or valuable to the
military history OF the late war, but
sufficient on this subject has already
been written. aud impartial histOr-
ians have long ago accorded to the
hero OF our lost cause a place among
the greatest military leaders the
world has produced. Numerous vol
umes have been written also dealing
with the private life OF General Lee,
but however much has been written.
because il contains expressions oil
feeling and sentiment from the pen
OF General Lee himself, and reveals
the heart of the man himself In his
private, social and military life, 1t
bears an intrinsic value, at least TO
the Southern people, which the lie
and letters of no other man could
bear. Nearly all the letters publish
ed in the volume are addressed TO his
vile and children, or to intimate
friends and in she freedom OF such re-
lations this great military man re-
yeals private life and character
which few men can ever hope so at
tain to: a shining example OF a guile
less life. The tone of the correspond
ence is deeply religious and scarcely
a lester concludes without the inyo-
cation Of divine help for his family,
himself and the cause to which he
had consecrated his life.
In explanation OF his reasons Tor

This letter shows the sacrifice he
was called on to make for principle
and the spirit with which he met his
duty to his State and home. About
such lives as his too much cannot be
said or written, and the more our
young men are taught to follow the
example of such men, the nearer will
they measure up to the full statue Of
manhood and good citizenship.
