It is a real contribution to the literature of the well-worked field of American beginnings-a field in which Dr. Eggleston has been fortunate enough to discover an overlooked corner. The book, brief as it is, is a mine of recondite information, and bears witness on every page to wide and careful reading of sources outside those ordinarily drawn upon by writers on our colonial history. Nor are the general fairness and candor of the volume less conspicuous than its learning."-The Nation. Ellis, Havelock. The nineteenth century, an Utopian retrospect. 1901. 543.10.4 An archæologist is speaking of a period lying in the remote past:"Civilization. You surely would not go so far as to call the nineteenth century civilized? I have always understood that although it was the custom at that time to write letters they had no international postage, that though they were always traveling they had no international coinage, and that though nations were of more importance than we can conceive-and therefore the need of intercommunication a primary necessity-they had no international language. I do not see how you can speak of civilization' under such conditions." In this strain the author continues discussing the significant features of "an age in which war and money were the supreme concerns of life." Farmer, J. E.
