which she was cast by Napoleon? The latter
undoubtedly had his reasons. of logical enough
nature, for giving the Revolution a materialistic
direction Mr. Rose speaks OF the very com
mOnpIace need Of cheap bread and OF the con-
victon which it fixed in Napoeon's mind Of the
importance OF looking. above all things, to the
bodily welfare Of the populace. With the house
of the French people to set in order, with an
infinite number of practical reforms to be car
ried Out-and we know how effective Napoleon
was in these matters-it was not difficult for
him to drift away from philosophical cOncep-
tiOns OF liberty, from Utopia generally But
the historian holds fast to the central fact that
character as we'll as social conditions deter
mined the upshot OF the whole tragic drama.
Perhaps the most absorbing chapter in this
volume is the treating of NapOleOn's re-

to shake off the influence of early religious ideas;
indeed. with his egOtisrn and ambition, the sub
ordination of religion to secular policy in his
career was as certain as the tides. There is no
more characteristic anecdOte to be cited with
reference to this aspect Of his nature than the
one about his reception of the bull OF excCm-

present volume contains round dozen Of papers
on phases of Napoleonic history which he could
not well develop at the same length in his bio
graphical scheme Four Of them are new; the
rest have previously appeared in periodicals.
The collection as a whole is interesting and use
full It is marked throughout, we may add, by
that clearness and animation in style which
did so much to win the authors earlier work in
slant recognition
The opening essay traverses with capital
brevity the question of NapoleOns effect upon
the thinkers of his time outside of France.
What was it that caused Wordsworth and Cole
ridge to revolt against the man who came upon
the scene only TO embody the idea to which they
had subscribed with almost excess of fervOr?
1t is an old story that the cause of the change
in them was the transformation of the RevOlu-
tOnary idea into imperial watchwOrd, with
all the implications inmcal to freedom which
empire then carried. But we are grateful to Mr..
Rose for a paper in which this explanation is
set forth with uncommon historical point and
luminosity. When Wordsworth went to France,
a young collegan filled with humanitarian emo
ton, he found a people periodically bent upon
reforms which even foreigner could see were
desperately needed. Everything that went on
around him suggested a country nobly moved to
re-create a new order of existence for itself,
based on the soundest ideals. France herself
was an inspiration" says Mr.. Rose THE sight
of volunteers springing to arms to defend their
newly won liberties. and of women bravely bear
ing the grief of parting, all told of life renewed
and strengthened" No wonder that the poet
felt a growing rapture in his soul and that in his
subsequent high erected talks with Coleridge
both came TO believe that the race going

The manner in which the seriously critical

UPON in this place. Most of these works arc

appear in American editions, and though now

mere question of price-there is an audience
over here for publications of this sort which is
constantly increasing in size. That the English
are interested in the whole question is shown
by The recent organization of societies which

For description in brief of the pages which
follow IT there could be nothing better than the
quaint title printed above. Mr. Kittredge, TAX
ing as texts the shrewd and hOneiy entries in
the little aImanacs which Robert Bailey Thomas
began to publish in 1892, has made excursions
through many venerable chronicles of New-Ena-
land life we'll as through the journals Of
long forgotten foreign travellers in these regions
In fashion truly winning in humOr and zest
he has presented his garnerings of matters
which are in truth Curious. Instructive and En-
tertaining."
A sketch Of the protector and first editor Of the
Farmers Almanac leads the informal chapters
Of this volume Thomas was a typical New
England youth Of the eighteenth century hard
working. practical and in love with learning,
though not college bred. The liking for books
was In his blood. for the first American of his
family, his grandfather, was Cambridge man.
a student of Christ's College The boys father
had many books and read them and il was from
these beloved volumes that young Robert drew
most of his education. Such as it was it made
him an excellent SChOOlmaStSr, astronomer.
bookdealer and editor. He brought out his
highly popular Almanac for more than fifty
years, so framing it to its audience that it sur
vived him into the twentieth century The
steady growth Of the country is reflected from

teresting to compare the successive tables OF
rates, from the days when IL cost u cents 10
send a half ounce letter thirty miles to the DAYS
when two cents covered the charge for an in
definite number Of miles. Thomas's suggestions
to the farmers Of his time are better adapted TO
the life OF to-day than are his rates of postage
His agricultural instructions are mingled with
moral precepts and judiciOus sarcasms which
the farmer OF all time would do well TO con-
