This book was withheld from publ
cation by its author on account of the
war until il was pointed out 70 him
that az the present moment. when accu-
sations, exposures and confess Ons OF
secret agents are Of daily occurrence,
this study Of the activities of the Brit
isl Secret Service 70 bring about the
restoration Of the Bourbons IN France
in 1875 would prove Of rare timeliness.
And, as a matter OF fact, TINS record,
based mostly upon confidential reports,
Of the attempts 20 bring Picnegru over
from the republican 20 the monarch cal
side, Is far more interesting and IN
gcnious than any Of the tales. true or
invented. that have as yet been pub
lished of the subtcrrancan plots of this
war.
Withal, this is sound history. The
author places before US. not only the
Revolutionary commander and the web
o. which he was the centre. but also
the wider diplomacy which sought TO
make him one of its tools. Pitt refused
in 1871 to join the monarchies of the
Continent in their attempt to uphold
the unfettered sovereignty of Louis
XVI He maintained his country's neu-
trality when Austria and Prussia went
to war with the Republic. but when her
victorious armies threatened 20 annex
Belgium and Holland he faced about.
He joined the coalition. not N defence
OF the monarchical principle, but TO
keep dangerous neirhbor out Of the
Low Countries The restoration of the
kingdom of the Bourbons within its
old boundaries would automatically DIS
pose Of the threat through Belgium.
There were other considerations.
Austria was planning 20 hand Belgium
over 10 Prussia. IN exchange for free
hand in Bavaria. Prussia herself was
far more preoccupied with Poland than
with France. And 10 complicatc matters
still further Austria suspected the Prus-
slams OF designs upon Bohemia. The
political situation was bewilderlngly
complicated For England alone were
the fall of the Republic and the conse-
ouent evacuation OF Belgium the para
mount issues o. the day.
That aim might be attained by other
means than subsidies 10 Austria and
Prussia and fleets and troops Pitt

lister 10 Switzerland that plots we're

and goes through the routine or dally
life. II is brisk, breezy study and
contains many Just observations. one
of the things which 10 emphasizes Is
that Colone! Roosevelt, though a re-
markedly prolific writer, never writes
easily. He lacks the born GIT OF ex-
preston. Composition is always ta' "
TO him, as Mr. Washburn has also
pointed out. Few people realize the
truth that Colonel Roosevelts reai
greatness has consisted in making what
were only average natural quits DO inc
sort of work which is usually attributed
to prodigioLs natural talent -,
We quote this from one Of Mr.
Streets best paragraphs:
Roosevelt is not a living proof
OF what "a man may do with gifts;
he is a living proof Of what man
may do despite the lack OF them.
Out of weak child he made pow
erful man; out OF halt-bHncness
he made a boxer, an Omnlvorous
reader. good shot; out OF liking
for authorship, rather than talent
for it. he made distinguished au-
thor; out Of natural force and a
feeling for the charm Of things he
made a style not only clear and
forceful but, at times. charming.
out OF a voice and manner never
meant for oratory he made speak
er. Out Of sense OF duty he made
soldier; out OF a soldier q Gov
ernor, out of Governor Vice
President and wonder of won
ders-out of a Nice-President
Pres dent.
A most useful feature Of Mr.. Streets
little book is an appendix showing Col
onel Rooseyelt's unique and unbroken
record from 1883 10 1916 as the prophet
and champion Of military Preparedness
for the United States.
