Manual of Forensic Quotations.

AS John w. Griggs says. THAT so few
Of the great speeches of legal advocates
have been preserved is not due TO their lack
of those inherent qualities which make
eloquence live, but rather TO the temporary
occasion and the transient uses for which
they are made. There is no Congressional
Record 10 embody I'm perpetual form the
dialogue and repartee OF the courtroom
or the speeches of counsel to gentlemen
of the jury.
To preserve some OF the evanescent out
bursts of eloquence. particularly those
which are deinitive. has been the object of
the compilers OF this manual who are Leon
Mead and +. y. Gilbert. There are per
haps three or four hundred quotations. each

Life Of Theodore Roosevelt.

In view of the approaching national cam
paign II is inevitable that there shall be
published a number of biographies of the
interesting figure who occupies the presl-
Dental chair. Some of these are long ana
pretentious; the present volume is very
short and TO the point. Miss Frances M.
Perry is the author, and the book is one
of the Famous Americans Series. 1t Is
printed in large, clear type and would
be excellent for what il seems to be de-
signed-a school reader The book is en-
bellished with several photographs OF the
President and of his family. j. NJ. Stradllng

Elements of Composition.

The fact that new textbooks on the sub
feet of English composition appear every
year in larger number seems 10 indicate
that there has not yet appeared one that is
altogether satisfactory. Works on mathe-
matics. English grammar and geography
appear which become classics in their way
and their use is well-nigh universal; but
of no textbook on composition and rhetoric
IL this true. Perhaps it is because each
conscientious teacher OF the subject has
his OF her own ideas as TO how II should
BE- taught, and selects the book which comes
the nearest to these theories.
Prof. 7. r. Huntington, OF Harvard,
has published the latest text on this inter-
esting subject. IL Is designed for use in
secondary schools; that is. TO teach the
art OF writing good English to those who
know little or nothing whatever about il.
One modern theory-"lcarning 10 do by do

The Third Power

The press is often styled THE Third
Estate" but the author of this book con-
fers the title on the farmers. Its complete
title Is 1.-The Third Power; Farmers 10 the
Front" The book is earnest argument
for higher appreciation Of the dignity Of
agriculture as a vocation and an appeal to
farmers TO organize and work together for
the advancement of their interests. The
author Mr. j. A Everett, of Indianapolis,
is the originator. promoter and president OF
the American Society of Equity, which has
excited considerable interest among farm
ers. The object of this cociety is to bring
about organization and cooperation among
farmers to secure higher prices for farm
products. That also is one of the objects
Of this book, though it aims at something
higher than mere mercenary results. 1t
aims at giving agriculture its proper place
among the noblest of industries and enab-
ling farmers by cooperation 10 secure
rights and benefits 10 which they are justly
entitled, but which they can never expect
to gain without organization. The book Is
likely TO interest the class to whom IL is
especially addressed and dedicat ed-the
farmers. 1t is published for the author by
the Holenbeck Press, Indianapolis.
