WEST POINT IN THE CONFED- ERACY. By Ellsworth Eliot, Jr. Published by G. A. Baker & Co.,, Ines, New York. Price $3.50.
 Ellsworth Eliot, Jr, in "West Point in the Confederacy" has writ ten an informative book about West Point which should prove interesting as 8 book of reference. Readers who have followed military history down through the years should find the volume replete with valuable irl- formation; containing statistics that it is often difficult to find. It is divided into two books, part one of fifteen chapters, and part two just one chapter of service rec ords." The second part will have a particular interest to the curious for here are recorded, so to speak, the dossiers of confederate officers who have noteworthy records but who have not had any historical recognition, some of them.
 For example, the book cites one William R. Boggs, born in 1853. His various ranks are given, brevet Sec- ond lieutenant, transferred to Ord nance Corps, 1854, First Lieutenant of Ordnance 1856, resigned February ], 1861. There follows brief his tory of his war record, and that after the war he was civil engl- neer, and in 1876 joined the faculty of the Virginia Agricultural College. This is just one example we men, ton in the chapter and book on "seryice records" We venture to say, descendants of West Point men in the confederate army will find among those listed, should they read this book, valuable nforma- tion. Among the records there also are names that are conspicuous, persons that we already know by historical repute, as for instance George Washington Custis Lee, old est son of Robert E. Lee. AS 1t hap pens he graduated at the head Of his class at West Point, was a lieu tenant in an Engineer Corps, but resigned in 1861, May 2, and became after the war Professor fo Civil and Military Engineering at the Vir- ginia Military Institute. He suc- ceeded his father as president of Washington and Lee University.
 Then there is the record of Rob- ert E. himself, who progressed from brevet colonel, to second lieutenant, to captain of an engineer corps, to brevet major for gallantry, to brevet colonel, to lieutenant-co to col onel. All this information may have been culled in detail from other books about the famous Rob- ert E. Lee.
 In chapter VI of book one more detailed account is given about Lee and his generals. The reader will
