Beeson, which, Tobacco chpwing was the fashion has already* created much favorable of those days, comment from the advanced copies that have already been shown. Mrs. Beeson is one of the authori ties on early Georgia history and has made a study of the important events and people who builded Georgia. She has colected many .elics, papers and early records and it was a lost record that she dis covered that inspired the book. In the Atlanta Journal of Sunday March 8, Harry Stillwrell Edwards in i’.umn, “Coming Down My Creek,” gives a review and report of the new book. This article so perfectly treats the book of Mrs. Beeson's that we reprint it in full with no further comment.

The new record book, in part, answers the question where did La nier get access to books that covered his wide range of reading? The so ciety got books from many sources, it appears. As gifts, chiefly, but by purchase from its own funds. One of these a bocks lies today on the table in the room occupied by Lanier in Thaliar Hall. In addition to its own library the society of course had ac cess to the college library. It is likely that the families of the mem bers stripped their private libraries for the benefit of Thalia. For. as the names of these mem bers reveal, they were, many of them, prosperous, even wealthy people. The honorary membership covers every section of the south. Many names therein, and in the regular membership, were ilustri- ous. There were represented great planters, great lawyers, doctors and divines.

The story is built up around treasure trove, recently uncovered by the author, which was than the minutes book of Oglethorpe College’s secret literary society known as ‘‘Thalia,” of which ney Lanier was once president. The book holds the records of 1859. 1860, 1861, 1862 and 1863, when the college exercises were suspended, “temporarily.” But Oglethorpe’: doors were never again opened a Midway, in the suburbs of Miiledge ville. It gave diplomas to the few students cn hand, mere boys, before suspending. Dr. Thomwell Jacobs president of the new Oglethorpe in Atlanta, said -the old Oglethorpe bled to death on the field of battle. The Thalians kept their record un til the last minute. But two mem bers were left to organize the last meeting. They promptly elected and initiated five or six young students, transacted business and adjourned. This bcok, uncovered by Mrs. Beeson, completes the records o> “Thalia,” which was organized in 1839. During its existence 317 members were enrolled in Thalia. The records carry a list of the sub jects debated during its twenty-five years of life. The character of these rcllect clearly the high character of the Thalians. They were serious >oung men as befitted a Presby i college, though there are entries the last minutes book which bring smiles to the lips of the readers.

Mrs. Beeson's dis covery completes the list of Thalians and, aside Crcm Lanier, it is of great value to hundreds of families in the south, where ancestor worship stil prevails. Mrs. Beeson’s little book is rcalfo a work of genius. She has managed to group the salient points of Ogle thorpe history arou td the Thalians and to give credit to the devoted men and women who have rescued the glories of the institution from ob livion. In this service the widely known Allen family who long ago acquired the physical property of the college, are pre-eminent. The south owes them a debt of gratitude it can never repay for their care and the deposition tbe v have made of the Oglethorpe grounds and relics. Out of desolation they awakened beauty, and cn the ashes and ruins great institution whose name is still reverenced in the land, they have builded a shrine to the sweet est spirit that ever haunted its groves.
