carefully compared and tested for
accuracy.
No institutional history OF this in
teresting community could begin to
compare in usefulness with this re-
and growth. The story has the pulse
OF life: here are the founders and de-
velopers, not dreaming dreams but
doing business. taking chances and
building; here are their homes and
shops. their gossip. their political ex-
elements. their gradually developing
relations with the rest Of the country.
And to complete the list OF interesting
things in pioneer days we must add
mention OF their crimes. Knives and
guns were employed with less provo
cation than efficiency then when Los
Angeles was young. Mr.. Newmark's
readers will approve the sense Of pro-
portion that led him. while getting
from 1880 TO 1897 in seventy-fve
pages. TO give 1873 pages to the years
from 1853 to 1860.
At the end Mr.. Newmark says:
when I came, Los Angeles was a
sleepy, ambitionless adobe village with
very little promise for h future. The
messenger Of optimism was deemed q
dreamer; but time has more than
realized the fantasies Of those old
village oracies. aud what they said
would some day come to pass in Los
Angeles has come and gone, to be sue
ceeded by things much greater still.
We possessed. however. even in that
distant day. one asset, invaluable as
II, was intangible. the spirit popularity
called Western but which. after all.

NAL IL confined to a close dungeon and
its food u injected by a sort Of
stomach pump which occasions instant
syncope from which It does not re-
cover for many hours. Thus within q
fortnight II becomes "a corpulent and
fat as the late George the fourth Of
exclusive memory" That adjective
holds the attention more than a mo-
ment. Brevoort might have been a
literary rival Of his more distinguished
friend.
Take a long Jump to 1912: II suppose
Dickens has written to you. and that
you have read his book. II IL Just
what might have been expected from
him; but the good people here abuse
him for not writing what he neither
could nor would write. a dull. sensible
description Of these United States. The
Negro and spitting chapters were put
In for balances. I imagine-but some
Of the others are admirable and dis
play a warn and sensitive heart"
Further on Brevoort says on his
own hook: II am no croaker. but 1t
grieves me to say. my dear Irving.
that this, our native land IL degenerate
and corrupt to the very core. You
would moi believe the symptoms Of

long on such gloomy matters. He was
more Of a patriot than a partisan. and
deplored the savageness OF our po-
litical battles. While the city and tho
country had an abundance Of citizens
Of his sturdy. intelligent m honor
able type the country was safe"
The letters Of Brevoort are of a ma
ture which these extracts accurately
indicate. but only incompletely ex.
hibit. Appended 70 them are other let.
tcrs, from the Brevoort family papers.
to and from the Henry Of the Irving
correspondence. Ono to his parents.

brother Peter: HE IL a Dam rascal
and there's an end Of It." Brevoort's
little sister Margaret writes OF n party
out ON Wards Island. where Irving
romped with the youngsters.
On the back Of n letter are some
jingles jotted down by Henry Brevoort
turning on British feeling over the
threats Of Napoleon:
Says Bony to Jonney I'll soon be IN Dover.
Says Jonney to Bony thats doubted by
some.
