VNDICATIoN OF WEBSTER

Daniel Webster: a Vindica ton. Will
Other Historical ESSAYS. BY Professor
william Cleaver Wilkinson. Published
York, 'o"
The author of this work holds the
chair Of Poetry and Criticism in the
University of Chicago. His effort in
TINS book In vlndication Of Webster is
to show that Webster is to be praised
and not blamed for his speech on the
fth of March. for which he has been
so much condemned as pandering un-
worthlIy to the slave power, and that
he was justified in his support Of the
fugitive slave law. The author holds
that. though not faultless, Webster was
sIngularlv good and pure man in his
private character. not given to the ex.
cesses which have been charged upon
him, and of a splendid. lovable person.
ailty The vindication is in two parts;
first, of Webster's public character,
and second. of his private character. II
is, proba bly, too early for the verdict
which Professor Wilkinson seeks, to be
rendered by the American people.
Much as they admire Daniel Webster.
prldetullv as they recall his grand
confidently as they RELY
upon his splendid loyalty and his de-
Tense of the Nation against the embryo
secession movement in South Carolina
they. yet find it difficult. if not i'm.
possible. to forgive his apparent be-
travail Of the North in the speech re-
ferred to-. and in his support Of the
fugitive slave law. It must be admit
ted that Professor Wilkinson has pur-
sued his subject with zeal and ability
that are worthy of praise, but the yer
dict he seeks must be rendered in the
future, if it is ever rendered at all.
The other essays are on the work Of
the Christian Commission during the
Civil War; an essay on Erasmus as
a man, and also as n man of letters:
on ''The Secret of Ancient Rome.n on
CIVIL War: an essay on Erasmus AS
the New and "Some Common Sense
about Saul of Tarsus'' The ESSAYS
are all worth reading. the last being

AN ODE TO LINCOLN.

The Sylvan Cabin: a Centenary Ode on
the Birth Of Lincoln: and Other Verse,
BY Edward Smyth Jones. With intro
ductlon by William Stanley Braith
waite Published by Sherman. French
Company, Boston.
The opening poem in this book, "The
Sylvan Cabin is an appreciation in
verse Of Lincoln, that is fervent and
well expressed. The final stanza Of
the poem is as follows:
The eagle her wee eaglets tells
or thee, that they may freedom love;
Then soaring full beyond the clouds,
She looks with vaunted pride on thee.
So must thy spirit fill the hearts
or all Coumbia's youths, as once
IT filed old Honest Abe" thy son.
Thy pride--the first-bor OF thy love.
For when each lowly lad well knows
That ever upwards he may soar.
Beyond vain tyrants' CALLING sway
To fairer climes where Freedom reigns:
Then will the shadow OF thy wing
For aye TO them shelter be!
The other poems in the book. on SUBJ
jects many and advertised, also show
true poetic quality, both in feeling and
expression.
