 Above Is the title of an elegant vol- ume of 315 pages slpcrbly printed on high class paper and elegantly Illus trated which appeals specially to edu
 cated Americans and which merits a place in all private and public libra ries for its historical value and the beauty and values of It's Illustrations,
 Tho author pays tribute to Ameri- cans noting tho great Interest taken in this country ln tho places in England from whence the founders of settle .mcnts in tho colonies here came, or where their homes were in England .and in general the interest taken in all spots dear to Americans from histor tcal or ancestral associations on Eng lands soil; and surprise is expressed that in Eneland itself much less inter- est in this important historical matter has becn evinced Thus our historical societies especially in the thirteen orig
 na states have spared us efforts in this direction and England itself has to turn for fullest Information m tho suh- icct to tile records of our historical so- cictios and historians on t1c subject

 The author in hs preface remarks;
 Our brethren across the water have |. not been slow to amass and publish ~ for the heueRt of nosterity. all that is
 known of the lives in America of tho V founders of thelr empire and If Is to v the researchers aud transactions of the , historical associations planted through . out the states bordering thn Atlantic ,, and to inc American descendants of the . founders that Englshmeu must look
 for most of the Information that exists l on the subject That this should be SO s Is remarkable, considering that almost
 without exception the roll of worthos . consists of men Or llhgIIsh name race,
 and blood, ancestors of ours that we
 should indeed ho proud to honor for all ', time This indifference to our Illus 7, trious companions, evidenced as it will V be again and again In these pages, v, stands in strong contrast 10 the respect V shown by Americans to everything that
 concerns the makers of their empire /, We, for the most part, would appear to " have but little Idea of the strong desire
 cvinccd by our kinsmcn mOt only those " who visit these shows, but those who " arc by circumstances unable to do so) v to become acquainted with the scenes " connected with their forbcars or name A H"Nu @ EG
