His book is an intimate study of the

New England Cotton Yarn Company.

II is not always possible or desirable
But when it is appropriate it Is highly
effective, and is perhaps the most de-
lightful of all styles of memoir writing
This is the method frequently en-
ployed by Mr.. Putnam, in which he
makes us feel that We are listening to
the student lad at Gottingen or to the
young soldier of the Union.
The other method is frankly to recog-
nize the lapse Of years and to regard
the past from the point of view of the
present, and this is the method en-
ployed in dealing with events rather
than with personalities and feelings.
To this Mr.. Putnam turns with facil-
ity wherever the other fails or is map
propriate, but he does so without for
getting or ignoring the view which was
taken in the past. In some cases the
two views are harmoniously inter-
mingled, as when he tells us Of his first
glimpse Of Lincoln at Cooper Union.

my later knowledge. | do remember
that | was at once impressed with the
feeling that here was a political leader
whose methods differed from those Of
any politician to whom l had listened"
The volume covers a considerable
range in time, in place and in occupa-
ton. 1t extends from the close OF the
war with Mexico to the close OF the
Civil War, a period much greater in in
terest and importance than in mere
lapse of time. The scenes are laid in
many places-London, Paris, Berlin,
Dresden, Gottingen, Prague, on the
Broken, in New York and its environs,
the swamps OF Louisiana. the battle
fields OF Virginia and Libby Prison.
The persons of the drama are perhaps
less notable, with some important ex-
ceptions. Mr.. Putnam must in those
years have come into contact with
more men and women OF prominence
than are mentioned in detail in his
pages, but he makes no attempt to ex
plot himself as an acquaintance OF
notabilities. There are interesting
slimpses Of Lincoln, Bryant, Irving
NJ c. Perry, Bayard Taylor and others,
and OF The Tribune's veteran CORE
spondent. Huntington. in Paris, and,
OF course, OF various officers Of the
army in the Civil War.
What is perhaps most noteworthy
I'm the book is the authors amazing
memory Of details 1t does not ap-
pear that he was voluminous
diarist, or that this volume owes its in
spiration 10 copious notebooks and doc
uments. Rather does 1t seem to have

from mental memory. In that view Of
II we must wonder at it's encyclopedia
character. and envy its author his
mastery OF the fine faculty OF recollec-
ton. There is throughout an inviting
ease in telling the story. Mr.. Putnam
was evidently himself much interested
in all his observations and experiences,
and ne has the gift OF imparting q
large measure OF that same interest to
his readers. causing them to share his
admiration Of Lincoln. his wonder at
the witches dance on the Broken. and

Mitchell Kennerly.
This volume is distinctly precious
We might indeed, describe IL as
compilation of studies In sociological
preciosity Sociological, mind, not
social nor socialist; between the hrst
and the latter two there being great
gulf fixed. The social or the socialist
student would busy himself with the
practical welfare OF his fellows ana
the improvement of conditions OF llre
and labor. Not so the truly precious
sociologist. He scans the relations be-
tween toll and culture; he discerns the
esoteric significance Of the revival 81
the masque; to him the alleged renas-
cence OF interest in the drama looms
large in the scheme Of racial redemp-
ton. The guild. the theatre. the
cathedral, the city-these were the
steps In the education OF tho medieval
worker; and II ever we are to attain.
the heights to which he rose. some
corresponding progress must be adopt
ed. For be sure that the medieval
craftsman. who could neither read nor
write, united the learning OF astrono-
mers, biologists, biologists, psycholo-
gists, historians and sociologists. and
reconciled it with the wisdom of priests
and the intuition OF women. What
wonder that with such unification of
resources there went an exaltation OF
man and his chief product-the city?
In the resultant uplift, the urge Of life
TO live TO its intensest and utmost
found expression in the creation of the
medieval city"
That, we repeat, and much more be-
side. is all distinctly precious. But
when we have traversed many pages,
in style of diluted Carlyle cum Ruskin,
we must sadly confess that we seem
doubtless through subjective obtuse-
ness TO get no forrarder." Doubt
less sociology is a science; the greatest
Of all sciences if you will. But in its
case, as in that OF others. there is
distinction between pure and applied

the world with applications of the

he gave thus little aid or comfort to.
the tradesman who wanted to compute
the value of three stone six pounds
eight ounces and a half Of butter at
nine pence the pound: and there were
q thousand such tradesmen to one who
cared for the other things. So these
discursive essays are admirable as
treatises on sociology as pure
science; which is not made for men,
but for which men are made. We
should expect them 10 be highly priced
by the Incorporated Society of Eager
Heart, and by the Utopians, rather
than by the Man in the Street. And
presumably it was for the former
rather than the latter that-conscious-
ly or unconsciously-they were pre-
pared.
