Bickerdyke, J: The passing of Prince Rozan: a romance of the sea. N. Y., G: P. Putnam's Sons, 1899. c. 5+286 p. D. cl., $1.

The incidents are similar to those brought out in the recent Hooley investigations in England, where impecunious peers were paid huge checks for the use of their names as bait in companies of dishonest intent Prince Rozan is the capitalist of these schemes; he lives in London in magnificent style and has a beautiful daughter.

Y., Harper, 1899. c. 6+187 p. map, D. cl., $1.25.

The author is already well known in army circles as the author of the "Principles of strategy," a valuable book on military tactics. His description and criti cism of the manner of conducting the Santiago campaign is therefore authoritative As he says, the book is simply "a narration of what an officer participating in that campaign saw, felt, and thought, with such explanations and suggestions as his observations and reflections prompted." Captain Bigelow writes modestly throughout, and has much to say of the work of the regulars in general and the colored troops in par ticular. He describes the battle in which he was engaged and the picturesque incidents which came under his observation with dramatic force. Formerly published by A. D. F. Randolph & Co. last chapter will be considered the most important *Bible. New Testament.

In the last chapter he sums up the results to which his investigations have pointed and presents the conclusions to which they lead.
