"THE

HE gay young baron's powers of observing man and nature were highly developed; unfettered by religious or political bias, he was a free lance in these particulars, he impartially judged both priest and official; his humor was deliciously caustic; he was keen as a critic and philosopher; his literary style, especially in the famous semi-satirical Dialogue with Adario, in the second volume -a searching criticism of the civilization and Christianity of his time-is classical in its directness and sparkling touch; from every point of view Lahontan is a charming raconteur, and appeals strongly to the modern reader.”

In this manner Dr. Reuben Gold Thwaites characterizes
the Baron de Lahontan, whose "New Voyages" he has
edited for McClurg's Library Reprints of Americana.

Mr. JAMES FORD RHODES'S

History of the United States from the Compromise of 1850

Volume V. 1864-1866

After recapitulating the salient events of the war down to 1864, the author gives a characterization of General William T. Sherman. Follows then the story of the Great March to the Sea, of the capture of Savannah, of the campaigns of Franklin and Nashville, and of the adoption by Congress of the Thirteenth Amendment. The rest of the first chapter considers the exhaustion of the South, Davis's refusal to treat for peace except on an impossible basis, and Lincoln's offer to compensate the South for the loss of her slaves. The following chapters treat of Sherman's march northward from Savannah and the closing events of the war, the nation's anguish at the death of Lincoln, the final surrender of Johnston, society at the north during the Civil War, society at the South during the same period, the treatment of prisoners of war by both sides, Johnson's policy of reconstruction, his failure to secure its adoption by Congress, the ensuing quarrel between President Johnson and the Republicans, and the overwhelming victory for the Republicans which followed the appeal to the country in the elections after the adjournment of Congress.
