Paris, March 25.-Some of the Jews

has been consistently fostered by Ger

The sultan's brother, Moulay Hand,

such a pitch that the Frenchmen in
Morocco are likely to be massacred at

clared, will do no good. What is nee

Crabbe.

1t is surprising that the firtt extended
and almost exhaustive biogr&phy Of the
author of "The Parish Register" "The
Borough" Tales in Verse; ard Tales OF
the Hall" should nave been written not by
an Englishman but by a IFrenchman.
Messrs. E. p. Dutton q Co. have just pub
lished an English translation kf a remark
able book by RENS HUcHoA lecturer in
English literature at the University Of
Nancy, entitled George Crdbe and His
Times. The author Of this york not only
gives us a discriminative yet sympathetic
study Of Crabbe' 3 realistic pictures OF rural
life but he also shows himself familiar with
the whole Of the interesting epoch which
was TO witness the ascension d Great Britain
to the first rank among word Powers, the
epoch, in other words, which covers the
Seven Years War and the wars against the
French Republic and French Empire; or,
in other words, the period which began with
Wolfe's victory at Quebec and closed with
Waterloo. To the inoompsrably stirring
events Of his time. however, we hear scarcely
an indirect allusion in Qabbe's pages.
Though now and then the poet mingled with
the great world, it was only as a transient
onlooker and his horizon was really limited
to the circuit visible from a rural village.
1t is doubtful il any maker Of verses ever
lived who had a more contracted environ
ment or who apparently was more oon-
tented to abide within it.
This is not, of course, by any means the
first life Of Crabbe, who when we note the
close approach to oblivion to which the
twentieth century has consigned hirn
seems really to have had more than his
share Of biographers, The "Life OF Crabbs'
by the poets son George appeared in Feb
ruary, 1884, and had a considerable success.
That was the commonplace biography OF a
poet-parson, written by a non-poetical
clergyman. whose tone was often apollo
getic. To the author Of the book before US
it seems necessary to give back to the poet
his personal rights and to keep the minister
in the background; to produce a psyche
logical instead OF a merly circumstantial
account Of the poet and the man.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1907-06-30

We cannot undertake TO carry the reader
through a volume of some $50 pages which
il not so much a biography Of Crabbe as a
history Of a most eventful three-quarters
OF a century. We must conine ourselves
to some OF the chapters in which the author
records his impressions and conclusions.

Il is in the chapters on the origin OF the
higher planting class in Virginia that the
extraordinary amount of research accom-
plished by the author is most strikingly
attested. Mr.. Bruce shows that even from
the earliest years OF it's settlement Virginia
was regarded with unique interest by mem
bers of the most influential social GLASSES in
England. For example. of the 325 incor-
porators whose signatures we're attached
to the charter of 1912 twenty-five were

designation which in the seventeenth CEN
tury had a meaning distinctive OF a special
social rank. Three-fourths of the persons
who signed this document were embraced
in the circle OF the English gentry, while
l2O OF the number had at one time been or
still we're members OF Parliament, a posi-
ton which in that century was generally
filed by some one who was connected with
the landed property OF the kingdom, 1t is
true that In the charter OF 1909 the trades
OF England had been chiefly represented;
the commercial impulse given TO COLOMBIA
ton was then the most conspicuous. Three
years later, however, it was what was
known In those times as the gentry classes
that we're principally interested. 1t nat
urally followed that a considerable proper
ton OF those who took an active part In
settling Virginia, even in the beginning,
was made up Of men who had a right from
the point OF view OF birth. breeding and
education TO be called gentlemen. Nor
were they less entitled to the right because

or three generations following the first colo
nization. The nearest approach to auto
biographical memoirs il TO be found in the
letter books Of William Fitzhugh and William
Byrd, which, however. deal almost exclu-
sively with dry business matters. Bever-
ley's History, while full OF vivid details. re-
lates only to the last years OF the seventeenth
and the first OF the eighteenth century. To
acquire, therefore, an accurate conception
OF Virginia's social life from 1907 to 100, the
student must examine a very large mass Of
miscellaneous printed and manuscript ma
terials. which are primarily concerned with
other subjects, such, for instance, as the
pamphlets preserved in Forces Historical
Tracts" the virginian Parish registers, the
original colonial documents now in the GUS
tody of the British State Paper Office in Lon
don, and, above all. the several hundred vol
umes of Virginia county records OF the seven
teenth century which still survive. All OF
these sources of information have been con-
suited by the author with a view to the prep
aration of the present monograph.
