The medita tions and recollections of a man retired from active life to thequietof a college town, bound together by a slender thread of narrative.

By the author of the Upton letters. this book also is probably more or lessautobiographical . In his usual graceful. wise, and sober fa shion, the

author pictures the pleasures of a life of simplicity , friendship , and quiethelpfulness. and protests aga instthe love of power, luxury. and strong ex

The author has produced a brief and interesting review of the historyofour island possessions : ha s described them and their inha bitants with

accuracy and sympa thy : and ha s loyally soughtto make the best possible showing for their administra tionunder American rule. With thehistorica l and descriptive part.which does notpretend to complete thoroughness . there is little faultto find. though even in this popular trea tiseone could wish formore frequentreferences to the authorities on whomMr. Forbes-Lindsa y relies. In short. as to the pastand present.

this book is interesting and valuable. As to the problem of the nea rfuture itis almostvoiceless .
