demonstrates that war government

potent and far-reaching results in the
readjustmeDt Of the relations between
States and the ration, and between the
people and the governing body. He has
chosen as typical States Massachusetts,
PENNSYLVANIA Indiana and New York.
as to have dealt with more would have
obscured his purpose in mass of de-
tan. Governors Andrew. Curtin and
Morton were in office oil Though the
war. while in New York the peculiar
conditions In New York city and the
views and conduct of Governor Seymour
in the direction Of State Independence
offer n good contrast. There Is an cx-
trenrely interesting Introduction. and the
nine chapters take up successfully the
Genesis of the Union. the Executive
Crisis when the War Broke Out. theAd

State Interference, Party Estrangemcnt.
and finally, the, Union indicated and
Developed. II Is n vigorous book and n
distinct addition to tho discussion OF
