TH _ The Library 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.
