When this country was a

even so. the library now has

civilization which is ours.
Some shed more than others.
These are read. re-read,
treasured, recommended,
studied and exported. The
library is asked again and
again which are these books
which best express our civili-
zation.
In 1852 somebody had the
bright idea of getting to-

he yields to the atmosphere
around his subjects. In the
case Of Charles Stuart, this
requires him to be witty, dry
and noncontentious, for this
was the character of the
handsome, licentious man
who restored monarchy to
England.
A Born King
Charles II was not admir-
able. But he was supremely
likable, and it is possible to
share the affection that Mr..
Pearson and Charles sub
Jects never withheld from
him.
The pity of his life was
that he was born to be a
king. He had" reports Mr..
Pearson, "the whole craft of
government at his fingertips
and understood foreign af-
fairs better than all Of his
{ ministers put together"
When he applied himself, he
was both royal and resource
full. He kept peace with Louis
XIV-at a price, of course:
He became a secret Catholic
to please the French Sun
King. He often outwitted the
Dutch.
Witty and Graceful
He viewed pestilence and
plague with equal equanim-
ity. He could talk to a SCI
enlist on a subject with per-
feet ease- He was witty and
graceful. He was tall and
curly haired and he loved to
walk. He also enjoyed con-
founding bigots and batting
parliaments. But his toler-
ance, born of a distaste
for theological disputation,
formed during his fugitive
youth, could be carried too
far. When Titus Oates, the
Mccarthy of his day with
the difference that his vic
Tins lost their heads instead
of their jobS) plunged the
country into an insanity of
fear and anti-catholicism,
Charles reluctantly yielded
to the madness of the day.
His Love Life
Charles is best remem-
bered for his love-life. He
was a libertine, as is we'll
known. but even the schools
of mistresses and schools of
illegitimate children did not
ALLEVIATE a populace which a
generation before had been

lish kinship with the third

Lincoln later paid him elo-
quent tribute.
But always, there were ir-
reconcilable differences over
interpreting Jefferson'S phil
oSophy.
Political EnigmaS
Was secession justified by
the words consent of the
governed? Did he mean all
men were created equal, or
were slaves excepted? Was
the Civil War a clash be-
tween the goddess philosophy
of Jefferson and the religious
element rooted in the Pur-
itan tradition? Jefferson was
an enigma, and the answers
were hard to come by.
Bringing the story into
closer range, Mr.. Peterson
analyzes the controversy
which boiled up here over
the Jefferson Memorial. The
impetus for erection of the
monument was provided by
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
But the tremendous out
pouring of JefferSonian &C
claim under the New Deal
struck a sardonic note. This
was achieved through Gov
ernment swelled to a size
Jefferson never dreamed of.
The philosophers vision of a
frugal Government for a
small agrarian country was

FRONT RUNNER, DARK

The excitement of polit-
ical campaigning and the
nomin a ting conventions

to a remarkable degree by
the authors of this study of
two of the Democratic presi-
Dental candidates.
The starting place is the
1856 Democratic convention
in Chicago that came near
nominating Senator Kennedy

candidates for the big prize

Before many more weeks Of

affirm their dedication to the
principles Of Thomas Jefer-

tradition, known in some

In this book, Merrill D.
Peterson endeavors to trace
Jefferson'S course in national

is a complex task, because
many of Jefferson's staunch-

on why they revered him.

summed up so well the i'm
mense political influence
which the whole Long fam
lily exerted over a period of
80 years.
Only those outside Louisi-

. That Huey P. Long was in
public office, of one sort or
another, from 1918 until his
assassination in 1885.
That his widow, Mrs. Rose
Mcconnell Long, then served
an interim term as Senator.
. That his turbulent brother,
Earl Kemp Long, was Gov
ernor of Louisiana three
terms mot conSecutive), an
Office from which he quit
only when his last term ex-
pired recently.

George Long, a dentist,
