Tho Makers Of United Italy.

A clearer idea Of the oauses Of the uni
hcadon Of Italy than would be dsrvable
from many a pretentious work may be
obtained by the general reader from a little
book entitled Builders OF Modern Italy.
by RUPERT SARGENT HOLLAND (Henry
Holt a co.,. The combined usefulness
and attractiveness Of this volume 10 due
to the principle on which it is COM
posed. The author began by recognising
that in the progress Of such q popular
movement as that which has resulted In
the union Of the long separated Italian
States many forces were fused and each
force had its " particular spokesman
leader. The prophet and the soldier.
the poet and the statesman each played
his part. 1t Is the eight men who per-
sonihed the most potent forces cooperat-
ing in the unifying process that are
chosen for portrayal In this book. These
are Alaeri. the poet; Manzoni, the man
Of letters; Giobert. the philosopher; MANN,
the .Father Of Venice; Mazzini. the
prophet; Cavour. the statesman; Carl
baldi. the crusader, and Victor Emmanuel,
the King.

the spirit which vas preparing to set
Italy freef Why did Mazzini later point
him out as n Of the great sources OF
inspiration for young Italy? Reply

Giuseppe Garibaldi, who was two years
the junior Of Mazzini and three years
the senior Of Cavour, was the son Of pa
rer To In very modest circumstances who,
~curiously enough, wished him to enter
the priesthood. Very early in his life
on q voyage before the mast to Russia
he came under the influence Of MAJ
sini's works and Joined the Young
Italy movement From the moment
OF this association his life held the sin gle
purpose OF beholding the independence
and u~nihoation Of his country. In 1884
he joined In the i'll fated expedition TO
Savoy, and as q oonsequen found
himself flying from Genoa as a proscript.
A few days later he learned from a news
paper that he had been condemned to death
by the Government, and shortly after
ward he sailed from Marseillee for Bra

taking a chief part in the innumerable
wars which served to keep the South
American States In constant uphesyal
during the first half Of the ~nineteeuth
century. The various States were full
of Italian adventures, some of whom,
who were a. intense partisans Of liberty

destined to DO the nucleus Of the famous
Italian Legion which was later to win
Victories on the other side Of the world.
Tho experience Of irregular fighting
which Garibaldi acquired In South Amer

Austrians the extreme skill Of his sudden
advances and retreats won him q Euro

We pass over the chapter allotted to
Daniel Manin. because American readers
are bue little interested In him and In
order that We may have more space at
our disposal for Mazzini, whom Mr..
Holland ranks with Dante and Savon-
arola as tho third great prophet In italian
who spoke with a world reaching
voice. There 10 no doubt that for half
the nineteenth century Maxzini's voice
was that Of q great captain to the
Of Europe. while to the
Italians he was the voice Of Italy itself.
Born in 1905. he was the precursor Of
unity. Of Independence. Of courageous
self denial. without whom Cavour might
have planned In vain and Garibaldi
been no more than an in~oonspicuous
He had an ideal and the
faith that knows no defeat, yet he was
not simply the idealist or the devotee.
for he could stir other men to action
through his own beliefs. A friend COM
pairing him with Kossuth said: sNow
! write Of him who seems TO my judy
ment to be like Saul above all his fellows;
the one man needed excitement to stir
his spirit; the soul Of the other was 10 an
inner lamp aiming through him always.
The strength Of Mazzini's personal In :
fuanoe lay here. You could not doubt
his glance Mr.. Holland nnds q certain
kinship between Maxsini and Lincoln.
Simplicity and q boundless love Of the
weak and the oppressed was the keynote
Of both lives. Both were emancipators.

never lost; he exercised 1t upon his play
