The author, a “coilectivist” among so- cialists, believes that there js evil bencath the social fabric of today, typefied in the competitive system. He presages that this system will inevitably lead to disaster, and | to fend off this event he urges society to | arouse itse?f to the adoption cf a new | -method. This is the common plant of the | socialists. But Mr. Gronlund confesses that the election of 1896 dist!lusjonized him, showing him that the country is net yet ready to conduct a collectivist republic. Therefore he preposes a series of referms, which, while not Cis inctly pari of the cl- lectivist program, are yet designed to train | the community a cours> of individual and governmental education to a nighcr Plane on which, what he terms, true col- lectivism is possible and safe. These meas- ures are outlined under the following heads: State aids to empoyed ‘abor; state hep to unemployed labor; municipal en- terprises under state control: better reg- Wiation cf the liquor traffic; secializaticn of the mines; nationalization; a national telegraph; navional banks of deposit and banks of loans: national control of fares and freight rates, and, lastly, the de- | velopment of the paternalistic feature of | the Department of Agriculiure. He like- | wise cu Ines a course of cduca‘ion for the | generation. which is to put thee reforms | to their fullest use. While at times de- spondent in. bis view of Ui tmmediate future, Mr. Grontund is uttimately cheer- ful in his faith in the power of the peo- ple to work out their own salvation. a Reading Les- By Israel the University of North Amertea. ten vo York Putnam's William Ballantyne & Sons. Prof. Russell seeks to tell the story of the river in such manner that any easual observer of the facts of nature will be able to understand it. As he says, he wants every one to be competent to question the river and comprehend its answers. For- tunately, the rivers of North America are so varied in their nature as to present prac- cally the whole story of the earth's arterial system, and the observer is en- abled by following this competent guide ong the valieys and Into the canons and to the crest of cascades and cataracts to grasp the whole subject in an effective manner. There is no more interesting study in nature than the river in its many moods. lt is within the reach of every person, and when {ts meaning, springing from geologi- cal beginnings, is made plain in the stract, the story of the creation and the delevopment of the earth grows clear.

New York: Dodd, Mead & Company Mr. Forbes writes here, along the major portion of his line, of events with which he $s personally familiar. His work as war correspondent during the Franco- Prussian affair brought him into close co tact with the French emperor and gave him an exceptional opportunity to write at first hand of the events which caused the cownfall of the empire. Accordingiy his narrative is strikingly vivid, while his de- lineation of the character of poleon springs clearly from an of the man as he appeared during the later years of nis lite. This remarkable car which carried nce through a series of political contortions which wculd have lett a deeper impress on some other nacions, is here set forth with u ual detail and with a literary finish which gives to the work a special valuc.

JOHN HANCOCK, HIS Brown, author of “History “Glimpses of Old New England Life, neath Old * “Beside Old "Hearth- stones,” Lee & Shepard. Wash- ingtou m Ballantyne & Sons, John Hancock’s biography has never been sufficiently set forth to posterity, when his great services for the colonies and the young republic are considered. The present work does not undertake to supply this de- ney, but merely to give an insight into career, with the aid of his letters, as as they can be collected, and as they -t the delay in thus} paying what he terms a debt of gratitude | t, and points to the tardiness j etts in erecting a fitting me- | morial to his fame. ‘The jeNally & Compal Mrs. Wallace has traveled widely and has observed keenly. The range of the sub- jects contained in this volume of sketches reveais her scope.

The oih pers are mainly suggesave of the ¢a experiences of the author and her distin- guished husband, although they carry the reader to England and ultimately to this country. AMERIC. FOREIGN POLICY; Essays and Ad- dresses. By ‘Theodore Ww. : professor of International law in t ot Yale University New York: Compan Prof. Woolsey does not believe in the pol- icy of territorial expansion, as evidenced by the tone of the essays here gathered together, and as frankly declared by him in his preface. The work was put to press before the definite policy of the government concerning the Philippines was formulated, and thus the matter is somewhat behind the fact. Nevertheless, it serves well to in- dicate the position of one branch of that faction of the people which rejects the proposition that this country can safely go outside of its own boundaries in the search for national prosperity. e law vol ‘The Century CIS MARTIN; or, The Furriners in the Tennessee Mountains.
