LIFE OF WALTER QUINTIN GRESHAM.
In two volumes. BY Matilda Gresham.
Rand McNally Co.
Mrs. Gresham's life of her husband
is a remarkable presentation of a
remarkable career. Soldier, lawyer,
judge and statesman, member of
two cabinets-the incidents of
Judge Gresham's active life are
used as the background for a his
torical narrative which affords new
material and new viewpoints for
the student. The work is verit-
able source book of American his
tory from the early 4Gs to the mid
die of the 90's, and a staunch in
depreciation of Americanism.

fined as a tolerant and rationalistic
attitude rather than specific po-
litical and economic creed.
