ADDRESS AND PAPERS.
By Richard Mcllwaine, D.D. LL.D.
Whittet & Shepperson Printers, Rich
mond, Va.
This is an interesting and instructive
hook and will piove to be useful and
helpful to many people. The fact that it
comes from the press of Messrs. Whittet
& Shepperson is a sufficient guaranty of
the excellence of the mechanical work.
The object, as stated by the author, in
issuing the volume, is to put the con
tents In permanent and accessible shape
?two thirds of the addresses having
already appeared in print at different
times. A reference to the table of contents
will reveal the fact that, like "all
Gaul" of ancient renown, the book may be
divided into three general parts. The first
part is largely connected with the history
of Hampden Sidney College, of which Dr.
Mcllwaine was the honored president for
twenty-one years. The second (in time),
consists of two addresses delivered in
connection with his duties as a member
of the Constitutional Convention of Virginia.
And the third (in time), of
several discussions of subjects pertaining
to the public school system of the
State in its various relations.
Or, more specifically, the book may be
divided into four parts, viz.:
1. Addresses and papers relating to
Hampden Sidney College.
2. Memorials?of which there are three.
3. Discussions of various aspects of
the public school system.
4 An address on Suffrage.
All of these addresses and papers are
the result of careful thought and the outgrowth
Of Drofound ronvlrtinna fmindoa
upon discriminating observations through
a long life of varied usefulness. Educated,
as he was, at Hampden Sidney College
and the University of Virginia and
Jn Theology at Union Theological Seminary
(then at H. S. C.) and The Free
Church College, Edinburgh, Scotland, ana
having been President for so long, Dr.
Mcllwaine speaks from an intimate, personal
knowledge of the old college and its
surroundings and by comparison with other
places. All that he says about the
college is interesting and especially so
to the alumni of that institution.
The memorial sketches of Prof. L. L.
Holiday, and of Matthew Fontaine Maury,
and of President William McKinley are
all of great and permanent interest, and
well up to the mark. And the address before
the Constitutional Convention on
"Suffrage" is, in the judgment of the
writer of this review, unanswerable because
the principles upon which it is
founded are right and Just. The discussions
of the public schools are timely and
are calculated to do much to elicit interest
in and enthusiastic support of this
beneficient institution.
Dr. Mcllwaine seems fitted by nature,
by training, and by experience to speak
upon the subjects here discussed?and
the book will be read by many with interest
and profit. Wm. C. White.
