The result u an extremely entertaining
and interesting book, through which the
reader may come to know Mr.. Carnegie

companies each step in his hero's career

Of the man who has been successful himself

Il Is hardly a generation since men In
England have dared TO study honestly the
history Of the great upheaval that brought
about their modern constitutional liberties.
OF whatever shade Of politics, their loyalty
10 the throne made them handle gingerly
the men who brought Charles 1. to the
scaffold. The historical materials were
there, but were let alone, 90 that the late
DR.. s. r. Gardiner. with all his limitations,
ranks almost as a pioneer and disco~ereT.
The last thirty years have almost revo-
Iuionized the ideas about the Great
Rebellion and the men who took part in it.
Justice has been done to a good many
regulations, but the men who went to the
fIrrthest extreme are still labeled 'fanatics.'
The Anabaptists and Fifth Monarchy men,
who left the more conservative elements
in the revolution behind them, one by one
till even Cromwell was too much for them,
have been more harshly treated than any
others. They were the first sufferers
whom Charles II. came back, and their
sternest judges we're their former COLI

Pitts foreign policy. as wehave said
forms the subject Of a separate essay
which occupies more than seventy pages
OF the hrst Of these volumes. It is well
known that the whole OF Pitts system OF
defenss against the foreign enemies by
which England was beset in the latter half
Of his administ ration has been Assailed
with great vehemence by Wing writer's in
both contemporary and subsequent times.
Those writer's. indeed, who assailed him
during his lifetime drew no distinction be-
tween the earlier and the later phases OF
his career. They did not pretend to discern
any difference between his principles Of
action before and after the overthrow Of
monarchy in France. Fox and Grey found
Il all consistent, because they booked upon
Il a. all bad. Lord Macaulay and Lord
Russell on the other hand, cannot reecho
the invectives Of Fox and Grey against
Pitts financial and commercial policy,
because that policy rests on principles
which the Wing party has since been driven
70 adopt; neither can they indoTse the con-
demnation with which Pitts successive
measures for uniting Ireland TO England
were received by the Wing orators Of that
day, BECAUSE they have themselves upheld
the Union against 0'Connell. There IL a
portion Of Pitts career In regard 10 which
the hands Of later writeTH are freer. Pitt'S
mode Of confronting the sudden peTils
with which the French Revolution nnenaoed
both England and Europe IL Of necessity
more open 70 criticism than any other poT-
ton OF his policy. The dangers which he
was called upon TO meet were In their ma
ture novel and exceptional, and the remedies
they required must needs be exceptional,
too. The mode In which domestic sedition
Il 20 be repressed or foreign attack averted
involves no principle, and therefore cannot
expose those who censure II TO any charge
OF Inconsistency. Consequently, recent
whig historians have taken & courss ex-
actIy the reverse Of that which was taken
by the majority Of Whig paTtizans at the
time. Those who followed Fox when he
was alive upheld him while bs resisted
Pitts policy during peaos and renouncod

during the war. Those who have oaDoni1od
Fox since his death cannot follow him In
his csnsurs OF the French treaty OF the

for their desertion by the real With which
they reproduce Fox's denuncihtions Of

Two Letters.

There was recently a passage at
arms between Miss Marie Corelli, the
novelist. and certain Miss Goals, a
schoolmistress, who has class imme-
diately across the street from the writ
er's home. Part Of the school exercises,
1t seems, consists in the study OF mu-
sic, and this proved particularly dis
agreeable to Miss Corelli.
So the following note was sent across
to the music teacher: ''MisssC orelli pre-
SCENTS her compliments to Miss Goals
and begs that she win be good enough
to arrange so that there may be no
singing class between the hours of 10
and /, these being Miss Corellrs work
ing hours, when distractions are pecul-
iarly distasteful."
The white aproned maid who bore
this rather unusual missive was de-
tanned long enough to bring back the
answer. 1t ran, Miss Goals presents
her compliments to Miss Corelli and
begs to state that IL suchsa course is
likely to prevent the writing OF such
books as The Sorrows OF Satan she
would rejoice In arranging a singing
programme for every day from 8 to g."

Of success offers plenty of standing
