 Machiavelli and the Modern State, by Louis Dyer. formerly Assistant Profess sor in Harvard University and some time .Taylorian Scholar Italian), of the University of Oxford.
 Machiavelii and the Modern State con- sists of three lectures delivered at the Royal Institution, London. April, 1899. Of these. the second-on Marchiavelli's Use of History-has been almost en- tirely rewritten, and all three have ap- pended to them as footnotes the orig inal Italian text of the numerous pass ages cited. translated, paraphrased, or summarized in the body of the work. The difficulty which all students expe- rience in verifying references to Mach Iavellis longer and less known works makes this fullness of citation valu- able feature.
 The thesis of the whole book is that. in framing his conception of the mod ern state, Machiavelli was unconscious Iy at the mercy of contemporary events and exceptionally susceptible to the in- fuenee of living actors in the political drama of his day
 He thought he was writing about the Romans when he was ofteun thinking primarily of the Swiss, who were his modern Romans.
 This fact appears chiefly in the seo- ond chapter
 In the first we note how personal con- tact with Ceasar Borgia first awakened Machiavellrs mind and taught him to think clearly.
 Tn the closing chapter. Machiavellrs rakishness is shown to have been large ly a pose, resorted to in correspond ence with men of the world.
 The Florentine Secretary himself is portrayed as an anxious and dutiful, though not very wise, family man.
 His "FlorentIne History is often cited to qualify or correct statements based solely on passages from his Prince" so also the "Discourses on Livy" serve to round out MachiavellPs conception of the modern state. His private letters and public dispatches are also freely resorted to.
 The gist of the whole matter Is that Machiavelli should not be taken piece meal, but as a whole.
 Especially should students avoid judging him solely by his best known work. the Prince"

Something Was Lacking.


 At one of the Long Island resorts there is an old man who is something of char aeter, says The Brooklyn Eagle. He spends e large portion of his time fishing from the dock, and 1t is noticed by every one that he hardly ever fails to catch something. even though every one else in the vicinity Is having bad luck. Recently a young wo- man approached this man and said in a coaxing way:
 MT F., won't you show me how you bait your hooks, so I can do mine that way. and then perhaps can catch something" The old man paused in his fishing long enough to explain exactly how he placed the bait on the hook. The girl went away. and fished. and fished. and tished. occasionally rebaitIng her hooks in the manner shown. Put she didr'' catch anything. So again she went to the old man.

 The House of Fulhlment, George Madden Martin writes in this romance story of Louisville and of the far South.
 Its motive is that no wealth, no suc- cess, no social position gives to life its fulhllment. The fulfllment of life, &C., cording to this writer. Is requited love
 The heroine. little heiress, Is car ried through many experiences.
 She spends her youth in the house of an uncle, wealthy, but miserly.
 When she becomes of age she lives with her mother and they drift in search of health for her mother from health resort to health resort of the South, thus giving play for much local color.

 The girl looked little bit disgusted.
 "Is that what you do?" she asked
 Sure" answered the old fisherman.
 The girl went away and the old man had ten minutes peace. Then she came back again.
 'Now, Mfr. F." she remonstrated. "do tell me why I don't catch fish. I've baited my hooks just the way you bait yours. even spat on my bait, and I've fished faithfully. just the way you do. And haven't caught anything. VIII you tell me just how 1t h I don't?"
 The old man looked at her reflectively.

and their place in the text Is supplied by as adequate a translation as pos sible.
 In this way the needs of the average student and those of the person of spe- cial erudition are both provided for; the former experiences no interruption, and the latter may read the exact words which Bacon wrote. It Is the same principle adopted in the Artes which goes to make for their excep- tional value. Bacon's prayer of the writer:
 Thou. o Father who gavest the vis- ible light as the first born of thy crea- lures, and didst pour into man the in- tellectual light as the top and consum- nation of thy workmanship, be pleased to protect and govern this work. which. coming from thy goodness, returneth to thy glory. Thou, after thou hadst re- viewed the works which thy hands had made, beheldest that everything was very good. and thou didst rest with complacency in them. But man, re- f1ecting on the works which he had made, saw that all was vanity and vex- ation of spirit, and could by no means acquiesce in them. Wherefore If we labor in thy works with the sweat of our brows, thou wilt make us partakers of thy vision and thy Sabbath. We humbly beg that this mind may be steadfastly in us, and that then. by our hands and also by the hands Of others on whom thou shalt bestow the same spirit, wilt please to convey largeness of new aims to thy family of mankind. These things we commend to thy ever lasting love- by our Jesus, thy Christ, God with us. Amen"

The InterIOper.


 Mrs Arthur Jacob has complete mastery of her subject She has compelling hold on the interest of her reader. She has written story which deals strongly clearly. realistically with some very difficult problems of life. She has depicted with no un- certain hand the sins of the well-bred, the sacrifices to conventionality which go to conceal the consequences, but which cannot cover crime nor kill re- morse. Yet her book is life, The sim ner does not die off In the first chap ters, but lives a respected and honored citizen to the end of the page, takes many a ripping fox hunt, accepts the priceless gift of another woman's un- reduited love which gives its life to save his own. Fullerton has weight and worth in his world which every reader must acknowledge.
 The elderly love affair of Lady Eliza and Fullerton Is a fine piece of work, Fullerton who never understood.
 The characters of Mrs. Jacobs story are alive to the finger-tips.
 Lady Eliza with her wig awry. her homeiy face, her beautiful hands and her heart of gold.
 Cecilia with her beauty of face and the beauty of soul that Lady Enza helped to create in her.
 The "Interloper" himself with his modern acceptation of his for sinister is a new character in romance The excitant scene where the Interloper ap- pears at the church door to claim Fordyce's bride is a marvel of skill Fullerton. true disciple of convention, sides with his acknowledged nephew against his illegitimate son, but Cecilia true to Lady Eliza's unconventional training leaves wealth for true love.
 The novel Is an achievement. It's in- terest over-tops all solving of problems. Granny Stirk the Queen of the Badgers plays fine part in the story. with her quaint wit, her keen womanly instinct that no hard life can dull, her soft good heart that no toll can roughen. She plays Providence in good earnest for two young lovers and by long night ride accomplishes the almost im- possible feat of bringing together the time, the place. and the loved one" A strong book, every page teeminE with vital interest
