There are in these pages written by
child two capital character studies
which the pen of the trained writer
could not improve-those Of the grand
parents, with their wise discipline and
gentle authority, their high example
and purposeful precepts, their constant
striving to live up to their own ideals
OF conduct. their unwearying efforts TO
hand them. on 10 this new generation
intrustcd 10 their care. "Be busy, love
somebody and have high aims" grand
mother taught her little charges. This
perfect type Of the gentlewoman, which
has all but disappeared to give way to
the modern lady" had her prejudlces,
OF course. She was OF her earlier gem
Grafton. When Susan B. Anthony
visited Canandaigua in 1850 preaching
woman suffrage, grandmother guessed
that she had forgotten that st. Paul
said that the women should keep
silence" She allowed the children TO
see Tom Thumb and the Siamese
twins, but forbade them TO go to Bar
NUNS circus, because she did not think
God ever intended that women should
go only half dressed, and stand up and
ride on horses, or jump through hoops
! in the air. And as for the girls walk
ing home with boys after entertain
ments, that was entirely out Of the
question. The maid was sent to fetch
them.
In 1856 a Know Nothing convention
was held in the village. Carrie made a
note Of II in her diary, adding:
They don't want any one but Americans
! TO hold Office, but | guess they Will ind
| that foreigners will get In. Our hired man
| is an Irishman and | think he would just
as soon be "Prisidint" as not.
There is a wealth OF revealing touches
In these pages concerning the domestic
and school life and religious life Of the
period. OF whose future interest the
young diarist could have no idea.
Present day champions Of the rights
of children may take note here how
wisely these rights were respected
within wise restrictions In that really
American household. how gentle was
the guidance, and how easy IL was for
people OF breeding to instill breeding

this country's policy toward China, as
II was carried out years later by John

Professor Williams's book is his
torical account Of Burlingame's work In
China as American Minister Plenipo-
Tertiary. and for China as the head OF
her first foreign mission TO this country,
England, France, Germany, Russia and
some OF the smaller states Of Northern
Europe. 1t is in no sense a biography,
but II is none the less a capital char
acter study, for 1t is to the man himself
that the author traces the sources of
his success as a diplomatist. And the
characteristics he singles out as these
sources are those that distinguished the
hest type OF native American Of the
middle OF the last century:

and sturdy, and what the privations
of their mountain life have been Is
shown by the fact that until the mid
die Of the last century many Of them
hardly knew the taste Of bread. They
still wear, in many places, the ancient
costume and preserve the queer Gus
toms of far-of generations. There
was in the course of warlike centuries
an extraordinary mingling Of races in
these provinces Of mountain and plain.
The Roman type survives; so does that

some Of the women that means great

adapted to the preparation of his rec

ident Of the Midi, skilful and enthu-
siastlc amateur driver Of his own ma
chine. and one who had already trav-
ersed the mountain roads. Those roads,
we are surprised TO learn, are many,
and with one exception they are per-
fectly safe The major proportion OF
them. we are told, are Of good breadth
and scientifically engineered. Besides
those which lead across the range
there ore excellent ones which end In
beautiful SPOTS which must be visited

automobling on the lower levels are
dogs and chickens, the dogs especially
being unable TO reconcile themselves
TO a motor. a third nuisance is The
timber wagon, which not only hurts the
roads but is dangerous to meet or
oyertake in a narrow gorge. But these
are disabilities which may be antici-

the scenery and the delight OF traYers-

who know Mr.. Jackson's former books
will guess with what zest he traces that
history and describes from the point Of
view OF the expert student, and with
much careful detail in text and picture
the churches, castles, monasteries ana
Notifications now crumbling under the
weight of centuries.
There is Orthez, for example, which
is not only the place where Wellington
defeated Marshal Soult, In 1914, bat
also the site Of the ruined thirteenth
century castle in which the famous
CASTOR PhGbus, Viecount Of Btarn'
held his court and killed his little son
and heir. Circumstantial evidence UNI
Justly pointed to an apparent intention
on the child's part TO poison his father
and only the entreaties Of all the
knights and squires present restrained
the count from stabbipg him on the
spot. He executed fifteen Of his sons
servants: and then, summoning the
mobiles, prelates and notables Of his
country, laid the matter before them
declaring that he would execute the
boy. But they also entreated him 10
spare him, and said they, would not
leave Orthez without the assurance
that he should not die. The child was
kept in solitary confinement In dark
room, 'cursing the day he was born,
living on his side and refusing TO eat.
On the tenth day the gaoler saw the
untouched food in the corner Of the
room and informed the count, who i'm
mediately came to the prison chamber.
Putting his hand roughly on his sons
throat and pushing him, he said, An
traitor, why don't you eat?' and so
went out. But he had In his hand
little knife with which he had been
trimming his nails, and the point
pierced an artery. The child turned
his face to the wall and quietly bled to
death! When his father learnt what
had happened he appeared to be much
afflicted, and buried his son with much
pomp in the Church OF the CordeIiers."
At fifty the brilliant CASTOR retired
from the world and died in hermitage
nine years after.

egeois, the inhabitants of the lovely
valley Of the Ariege, are, after the

Curiously enough, he himself was
doubtful Of his reception in America,
sanguine Of success abroad. The re-
action in this country, owing to the
Chinese immigration question, which
brought down upon his head a food
Of abuse and accusations Of treachery
and venality, fortunately did not undo
what he had achieved in Washington.
He established tradition in our d.
plomacy.
It is strange that so little has been
said Of Burltngame's work in the mass
of books on China and its national and
international problems that has been
published since the Boxer rising. Pro
fessor Williams has repaired the omis-
sion, and in the act has pointed TO the
right moment for the writing Of Arson
Burlingame's biography.
