his early views Of Lincoln and also what he
believed TO be the duty OF Northern men:
'To harp upon what is past and gone and

LET then the voice Of this district and
this city be heard distinctly in favor OF an
immediate, vigorous prosecution OF the

lished. and In the next year Lincoln con-
suited Bancroft by letter, apparently upon
a point Of historic precedent for an action
under contemplation. and Bancroft replied
with abundant information and references.
Only once. however and then only for a
moment, do we see Bancroft and Lincoln

Bancroft dated February "a, 1894. her hus-

(Scribners) covers the years Is3O-SO, that

this section Of Nine. de Boigne's reminis-

closes with an account OF tae preliminary
stages OF that uprising against the reaction

brought about the abdication Of Charles

other interesting events upon which light

mentioned the Congress OF Troppau, the
successful conduct Of the campaign in
Spain by the Due dAnEouleme. the death
OF the Emperor Alexander l., the Battle OF
Navarino, the abolition Of the Sale law in
Spain. and the beginning Of the French
conquest Of Algeria. We also hear a good
