X this hook Sidney C. Tapp,
the well known Atlanta

work that deserves to he,
in its particular literary
sphere, a library classic.

cratic institutions in government.
“The Story of Anglo-Saxon Institutions, |
or the Development of Constitutional
Government” traces the rise of local j
self-government and constit^tloirfil’ism.
The author's avowed purpose, as ex- i
pressed in his preface, is ”to demonstrate I
from historical facts that the Anglo- 1
Saxon race Is the only race that has j
ever had a true conception of republican j
Institutions or solved correctly the pro- j
hlem of self-government.” The subjects i
treated in their order are: Sovereignty, ;
delegated powers, constitutions—'the dif
ferent kinds and their purpose, the origin
of constitutional and popular government,
the early state of popular government,
an ancient comparison, the beginning of
the Anglo-Saxon ideas in England: the
Anglo-Saxon heptarchy, the invasions of
the Normans, concessions of William the
Conqueror and the triumph of the Sax
ons. the magua charter, results of the
conflict between Saxon institutions and
Norman powers, organization of the three
estates of the realm, war between the
crown and the barons, the days of Ed
ward the First, a blot on the English
government, laws and constitution. Ire
land. Scotland, the beginning of the reign
of law. Gothism. monarchy and democ
racy as. demonstrated in France, the
protest against the usurpation of church
and state in England, the decline, of
feudalism and the rise of arbitrary mon
archy. the overthrow of arbitrary mon
archy and the creation of constitutional
monarchy, the planting of Anglo-Saxon
principles in America, the classes v. the
masses.
Mr. Tapp differentiates most ably be
tween- the so-called democracy of Greece
and Rome and the true quality presented
1n Anglo-Saxon Institutions. His reas
oning is always interesting and generally
convincing. “Anglo-Saxonism,” he de
clares. "is the hope of the masses of
the world, to overcome the classes.” The
dominant spirit of this self-governing ca
pacity is given as Individual responsibil
ity, and the author gives Christianity

OF UNIVERSAL
SEARCH,
' It ls.tlg' purpose of this work to present
:the ideas that have influenced civilization
in the words of those who have developed
! them.
The work embraces the religious beliefs
Iof the past, ns expressed in their own Ki
lbies. and enforced by the sees who have ! certainly few
l given them to the world; the theories of
; philosophy in the expositions of their
originators; the marvelous discoveries and
inductions of the natural and social sci-
1 ences as expounded by the men who havq
(first seen the truths beneath the faet.r*.
|the development of law. government, edu-
(ucation, medicine and industry In the
|monographs which have championed their
(principles and the documents which have
(exhibited their practices; and. finally, the
|great movements which have made man
ifest the pulse heat of the ages, as they
[have been caught and held living in the
j kinetographlike records of the best con
temporary observers.
It is much more satisfactory for the
reader to examine at first hand the re
sults of the men who have influenced the
thought and life of the world, than it is
to study some critics’s metaphysical es
say upon another man's work. The best
; of all histories would be merely a col
lection of the most important original
sources with accessory notes and facts.
For where every illustrative source is it
self apt to be a document deserving win
deepest study and of the liveliest interest,
;a second-hand narrative can only spoil
j the drama and deaden the interest.
With this principle in view, starting
| from the earliest historic time, here we
j find collected those masterpieces in which
j the world thinkers have embodied the
, ideas and discoveries which have given
iman control over nature and himself, and !
by linking them together in practically j
! chronological order with notes and blog- i
; raphies. is made a history, the student
' of which, may, so to speak, begin to live
five thousand years ago and think ana ;

This is. so far as we know, the only
(genpral collection of historical sources ex- I
(taut, but the work is more than simply !
a, collection of sources. In it is intro. !
duced each important period with a brief '

THE HISTORY OF NORTH AMER
ICA.
I The defect of existing: general histories
l relating- to America is that they are n °t
| records of the settling and progress of the
| whole country. They are almost entirely
( devoted to the settling- and progress of
| the east and a. part of the north.
[ Sectional jealousy is a thing- in which
the great south has no occasion to ln-
( dulge, and it is not to arouse sectional
; jealousy but in the spirit of devotion to
true history that this statement Is made.
It has become a comparatively easy mat
ter to go over the history of New Eng
land. of New York, of Pennsylvania and
of Maryland and Virginia. The prophetic
j reader can hazard a guess as to the ar-
| rangement, almost paragraph for para-
j -graph, of the history dealing with the
heroic settlement of these colonies, the
! formulation .of public opinion, the indus
try, courage, sacrifie, and ability that
| welded together these mighty states.
' But it is a more difficult matter to
( write the history of Alabama. Missis-
; slppi. Louisiana, Florida, Arkansas and
t Texas. Nay, It remains still a difficult
! task to deal properly with the Carolinas,
(Georgia. Kentucky and Tennessee. These
: states have each tlielr story—-some of
these stories are of thrilling; Interest.
They also set up their colleges in the wil
derness, half starving themselves for ed- j
ncation’s sake; they also fought the In
dians in futive and open combat; they
i also had their leaders, preachers, mar-
i tyrs, hegiras, defeats and triumphs. These
have yet to appear in a general history.
j the blackness of Russian night, not one
(gleam of pure jo«y finds lodgment be-
i tween the two covers of this powerful
j book. To one less skilled, less sure of
! himself (or herself, as It chances to be),
it were a hazardous thing to undertake
: a story of this sort, but .Mrs. U oynich
is capable of sustaining herself, and hold-
ling- the reader through the last sentence
of the dreariest narrative.
Indeed, it is the skill of the author
which most impresses in this truly pow-
j erful work. With an English sick nurse,
j daughter of a country banker, and two
I socialists, the one a Russian and the
! other a Pole, she manages with the
| gloomiest and most appalling- envirori-
1 ment a story which nobody under God s
( sun would wish to read if he could have
I any Idea of what is in store for him
( when he sets out.
! If, like Miss Martle, you seek "for In
formation,” you will get it here, but
the sort you would be willing to have
[lived, without. Anything Russian is. of
i course, timely—the hook could hardly
have made its appearance In better sea-
j son—and, as exposing the inwardness of
! things, it eminently’ commends itself to
favor, but against so huge and hopeless
(an evil the reader asks, like Olive bat-
| tling helplessly with Nihilism arraying
(itself against the mighty and uncompro
mising government. "What is the use?”
To be informed where good will result
! is one thing, and to inform yourself only
(to he saddened with the all but d<—
( struetion of every accepted idea of hu-
( inanity and heaven-appointed justice, is
[ another.
Mrs. Voynich has herself become so
imbued with the universal wretchedness
| of things Russian that even the English
( girl has no Joy or gladness in her; A r la-
| dimir and Slavlnski are unsmiling and
number to life and death alike the ever-
( nea.r probability of sudden taking off
1 leaving them little taste for the things of
( common experience; while the rotten
ness and filth of the Russian populace
and heinous cruelty and heartlessness
of the Russian government are too hor
rible for the mind to dwell upon.
Take this paragraph; “Every now and
then they would pass a. wretched village,
pestilent and hunger-bitten, where stunt
ed beggars, clustering round with out
stretched hands, assailed their ears with
a long, montonous whine, and where the
only prosperous creatures seemed tlie
priests, the drink-shop keepers, and the
swarming vermin. Then the wilderness
would close round them again.”
And this: “Generations of vice ,- and
slavery had poisoned them, body’ and
soul, and emancipation, to them, meant
only that they were'now plundered and
ill-used by officials and money lenders,
instead of by land owners and over
seers.”
The degenerate families of petty no
bility described as “ruined in character
by the long habit of owning serfs, in
pocket by losing them, and lingering on
in helpless and pennious idlesness. as
wretched as their former slaves and al
most as ignorant."

! realism is "Inez of tlie ’Dube Walls,” a

Almost as Interesting as fiction and as
typically western is a story of real ad

view of old scenes. Suggestive of cool
breezes and daring adventures is "Climb

is just what it claims to be, a practical
article that makes swimming a possible

for clean sport with a vim and John Bur-
: roughs has something interesting to say
| about "An Unsolved Problem in Natural
History." The important question of
“Yacht Measurement” is handled with
authority by John Hyslop.
One hears today so much about the
American decline in manners, morals
and spirit, about the shame of cities and
the corruption in municipal and national
I politics and the vices of society, that it
is refreshing to read the prospectus of
one of the leading magazines, The
World's Work, which has taken for the
theme of its July number "The Ameri
can Uplift.”
The editors say that they started out
to discover whether the country is real
ly going to the demnition bowwows as
rapidly as current literature would hSve
( us believe, and that they have accumu-
! lated an imposing mass of rose-hued sta
tistics calculated to make the eagle shriek

THE BOSS JANITOR.

A ja.nitn r in a New York apartment
house must be a mechanical Proteus.
The first class janitor not only gets his
rent free and a good salary, but he has
an assistant to take care of the hall, the
stairs, the front steps, the cellar and the
sidewalk. The boss janitor merely su
pervises these details and devotes most
of his working time to fixing locks, put
ting in broken windows, looking after
the steam heating apparatus and tbe
electric dynamo, making general repairs
and saving the landlord many a dollar
by avoiding the employment of the
plumber, the glazier and the carpenter, j
who chafise by the job and charge high.
