Alfred L. Donaldson, retired banker.
musician, who has lived at Saranae
for number of years, writing articles
poems and detective yarns for the mag
azines, has written complete History
OF the .Adirondacks, which will be pub.
lshed Immediately by the Century
Company. 1t is, says the publisher, the
frst attempt to present complete his
tory of the region, and it has further
been made comprehensive and "defni-
tive by the addition of maps, topo-
graphical information and sections on
the. weather, the birds, fish, game, trees,
etc., of the region; the laws that have
been passed for the regulation of its
use, the origin and character of some
OF its principal clubs and hostelries.

ist propaganda of the Bolsheviki to
start stampede homeward in the
ranks Of the war-weary and disillu-
stoned army.
Against the suilen, rebelIious masses
OF workers, soldiers and peasants the
weak Russian middle class was help
less. From the very beginning the pro
vlsional government possessed only the
shadow of power; the substance rested
with the Soviets, the revolutionary
organs of the workers and soldiers. All
Kerensky's desperate efforts to avert a
social cataclysm at home and to keep
Russia in the war proved fruitless. AS
Is usual in revolutionary situations.
power steadily gravitated toward the
most fanatical and extreme group. the
Bolsheviki; and this group took ad-
vantage of General Kornilov's failure
to restore order by means of military
dictatorship and of the growing impo-
tence of the Kerensky government to
seize the reins of authority for itself
by means of the November Revolution.
Professor Ross has evidently en-
joyed access to considerable stock of
new historical material. Milyukov's
speech Immediately after the March
Revolution, the detailed description of
Lenine's arrival in Petrograd and Of
the Moscow Conference, the fascinat-
ing accounts of the November Revolu-
ton by three active Bo1shevik partici-
pants and leaders, Antonov, Kamenev
and Podvoisky, all these things are i'm
portant fresh contributions to our
knowledge of the revolution.
One is sometimes tempted to wish
that the author had included more
documentary evidence, extracts from
contemporary newspapers, reports of
speeches, etc, instead OF quoting SO
literally from the works of other au-
thors, some of which are of rather
doubtful historical value. This criti-
clsm, however, is of slight Importance
when the numerous admirable features
of the work are taken into considera-
tlon. Professor Ross shares with very
few other historians his . remarkable
capacity to combine scientific accuracy
with popular appeal in his work. His
treatment of his subject is doubtless
still further humanized because of the
fact that he was travelling in Russia
at the very time when tie stirring
events he narrates were taking place.
His book is far and away the best his
tory of the Russian Revolution that
has yet appeared in English.
