vice and Of each social disservice-

of one of Natures forces. Dean hodges
has undertaken TO disclose the streams
of influence which proceed from the
life. character and achievements Of
Bishop Potter, and he has done so with
a discretion and with a success when
make his book Of far more than orcl-
nary value.
Bishop Potter lived and acted his
part in life during a period OF eXcep-
tional Importance not only IN the
Church, but also in society and m the
state. Ii was the great TRANSITION
period in American history. As youth
he watched the era of expansion ana OF
agitation, constitutional and otherwise,
which preceded the Civil War. In his
Young manhood he was an interested
spectator Of that titanic struggle. IL
his mature years he was concerned as
an active factor in the vast readJ ust-
ments and developments which followed
the war. in which Church, society, IN
dustrv and state were all but trans
formed. He played that part, too, not
in any pent-up Utica or remote prov
ince. but in the limelight and the huriy-
burlv and the intense vitality and po-
tencv of the metropolis of the nation.
The son of one bishop, and the
nephew and official successor of an
ether. DR.. Potter was consplcuousiy
churchman. But before that he was q
man, and he was a man IN the sense
that he regarded nothing as foreign or
Indifferent TO him which concerned the
welfare Of humanity. The history OF
his life for many years is the history
of the Protestant Episcopal Church in
this city and its environs, a. time
when that Church, as never before, was
associating and identifying itself with
public causes outside OF the pale OF
strict ecclesiasticism. But his activi-
ties went further. His sympathies. II
not his technical fellowship. embraced
all other spiritual and moral organiza-
tions. and extended far into the realm
Of purely secular and civic life. His
letter to Mayor Van Wyck on the part
nership between the police and prostl-
tuition was simply epochal in the an
nails Of New York. and his active in
tercst in good government and honest
politics. and in the rights and welfare
Of workingmen. added to his title 10 be

pecially on his connection with the

the political elements of his thought.
Periods of his career about which hith-
erto scarcely any information has been
available are here shown to have been
flled with intense activity.

Lance Falconer"
More than twenty years ago there
was published IN this country STEM
der story, "Mademoiselle Ike" which
had seasons ephemcral success. The
author. who used the pseudonyme Lance
Falconcr. was an English woman. Marie
Hawker, a gentle. quite unbeautiful
woman. not in any way a great person
ality. but a most lovable girl, with
enough mental energy to teach herself
French, then German from a German
French grammar, then Italian from an
Italian German one. Her biography,
"Lanoe Falconer." has been written by
Miss Evelyn March-Philiipps and pub
lished in London. "Many books OF
this kind arc scarcely interesting TO
the outside world" says the London
Spectator" but the life and letters
Of Lance Falconer,' although they nave
no great dignity. are so informal. so
personal. so full of real humor, that
each chapter might well begin with Do
