that they were pleasant letters to re.

had unusual and extraordinary oppor-

high authority. Either she did NOT

they did not impress her. She apparent

1t is an important and valuable addi-
tion to the literature of American
drama which Mr.. Moses has undertaken
to make, the first volume of which is
here presented. In this and the two
volumes which are scheduled to follow
it he plans to cover the period from
Colonial times to 1911. selecting from
the works of American playwrights g
those pieces which distinctively embody
American ideas and reflect American
life, at the same time showing the
changes in play-lnaking technique and
the advance in that art. Drama in
America is only a couple of hundred
years old, vet the task imposed on
the editor is no small one, and has
been rendered moro difficult of execu
tion by the fact that theatrical condi-
tions, particularly in the earlier days,
have not been the most propltious for
the preservation of manuscripts For
tunately. Mr.. Moses is especially we'll
has produced distinctly interesting
book. which whets the appetite for his
next one.
from 1885 to 1919 The list comprises
"The Prince of Parthia,' by Thomas
Godfrey, jr.; "Ponteach, or the Savages
Of American by Robert Rogers; "The
Group" farce by Mrs. Mercy Warren;
"The Battle of Bunker Hill" by Hugh
Henry Breckenridge; "The Fall of Brit
ish Tyranny, or American Liberty" by
ted" by Samuel Low; "The Contrast
by Royal Tyler; ANDRE" by William
Dunlap; "The Indian Princess, or La
Belle Salvage" by J. N. Barker, and
"She Would Be Soldier, or The Plains
of Chippewa" by Mordecai Manuel
Noah. The first play, tragedy, de-
parts from Mr.. Moses's scheme to the
extent that it does not reflect American
life; but it remains one of the best
of the earliest plays by Americans. 1t
was produced in 1867, after the au-
company, headed by Mr.. David Doug
lass, at the Southwark Theatre. Phila-
delphia. "Ponteach," according to Mr..
Moses, enjoys the distinction of being
the first American problem play. 1t pre-
scnted the ideas regarding white me
treatment of the Indians accumulat.
by Major Rogers during long career
as trapper, hunter, land-grabber and
fighter in the French and Indian wars.
It will be seen from the list of titles
that the Revolution produced its war
plays"-more earnest and sincere than
some of those which the world is bring
ing to the stage to-day.
The first appeal of this book must
be to students of the drama and that
ever-growing group of intelligent read
ers of plays and criticism of the drama
1t should, however, have wide Sec
ondary appeal because of the sidelights
on American life, American thought
and habits, to be seen in pieces such
as "The Group" "The Politician Out
witted" and "The Contrast"

soundness and of the morality of an
ascending nerve-power? Who has had
more scorn for the notioa of democratic

What is more in keeping with contem-
porary Tcutonic carryings-on than
Nietzsche's facle dismissal of Jesus
of Nazareth as "most interesting de-
cadent"? To give the Hohenzollern his
due, it should be said-and DR.. Salter

attractive as being the token of robust
the modern military system, a stupid
anachronism bound up with the cruder
patriotism of nationalist spirit If
he spoke of "nevrose rationale with
which Europe is SICK" he seems also
TO have foreseen the consequences OF
the ohsession, and he went so far as to
anticipate the rise Of federation Of

Systematic arrangements and evalu-
ations of the doctrines of one who
wrote in aphorisms and secuted "the

Stopford Brooke's father, rector of
the Episcopalian Mariners Church at
kingstown, near Dublin, had his own
He would approach the sleeping young
sters and pour forth snatches from
"Marmion" or from "The Lady of the
Lake" or "The Lay Of the Last Min
strel.' The effect was, as the lads used
later to say, that the day was haunted
as by a charm. The domestic story
makes a neat and true symbol of the
influences amid which young Brooke
was reared. If, as became the Calvin
ist Evangelical setting of that scene,
the theology was rather strict, and if
the stipend was restricted to hundred
pounds, there was generosity of mind
and genial mirth and genuineness of
piety that made the home a meet place
for such child. Stopford Brooke came
to manhood with a singularly affuent
nature. and whether as churchman or
well. Because catholic tastes in liter
ature and art left him still an effective
citizen OF the world, and because in
matters OF faith he combined intel
lectual courage with an Unborn vener
alton for the realities Of spiritual life,
there is no mystery either in the ad
mirations he elected or in the high
friendships that lightened his days.
Nor is it hard to explain the eager
greeting now accorded to Principal
Jacks's alluring and satisfying biogra-
ply. Seeing that Stopford Brooke in
his Life of Robertson of Brighton" did
p piece of work that is permanently
useful it is but fair that his own biog
raphy should have been intrusted to
DR. Jackss so capable hands.
The chief impression gained from
the account of Brooke's undergraduate
days at Trinity College, Dublin. is one
of assiduous attention to English lit
erature. BY this time his reading ca
pacity was established and firm foun-
dation laid for the studies which were
afterward to emerge in his Primer
of English Literature" his Milton
monograph and "The History of Early
English Literature" His immediate
goal was the ministry of the Anglican
Church. By the time he is twenty
four-that is. in 1857-he is ordained
by the Bishop of London and given
curacy among the poor. Perhaps the
parish work gave him as much in the
way of social wisdom as he gave in
spiritual impulse. A publisher, whose
discernmenr one cannot but admire.

of the biography of F. w. Robertson.

challenge, one not to be funked. After
his marriage Brooke obtained anpoint-
