The well-known and erudite Senator from Vermont has, in this work, condensed the fruits of years of curious research in a strange and unfamiliar field. The result is a rarely entertaining volume of great value to all scholars and public men, and interesting to all readers.

THE MINISTER'S CHARGE. By W. D. Howells, author of "The Rise of Silas Lapham," "Indian Summer," etc. $1.50.
"In this great novel of the people Henry James finds that Mr. Howells touches high-water mark; and sees an important and valuable work in this minute and subtle registering of the heavy-witted countryman's slow development under city conditions. However that may be, Howells's pure, inimitable fun is enough to carry any story he may write. Like all true fun, this has a most searching pathos all the time just at hand; and never is the real dignity of character of this actual Yankee forgotten or trifled with."—Boston Transcript.
