(ConversE Concept.) When it was innounced that Paul Leicester Frd's new novel, Janico Meredith, was in the publisher's bands the public wited for its appearance with the liveliest interest; and indeed the popularity of his former works fully justified them in displaying so much eagerness. What it would be like, no one could guess, for the wri ter's versatility is one of his most characteristic qualities and one ot the reasons why his works have been so widely read. One is purely fiction; another has a political setting; still another has an historical basis. flis thorough knowledge of human char aster enables him to present his figures to us in a most real and lifelike wa his knowledge of the era which forms the setting for his stories can be ;rusted in every particular. Connecting these two is that electrical power of combi nation, that faculty of creating oat of nothing which is the possession of genius alone. It is no mean skill, this art of re cording dry facts, delinsating charac ter and describing the times all at once, painting them into one brilliant pic ture that once seen is never forgotten. Such a book is bis latest production. It is an accepted fact now-a-days that the historical novel has done inuch to increase the knowledge of history among people in general, for by put ting facts is an interesting form. they are impressed more forcibly upon the reader's memory. With this book at hand, we will not be the ones to deny this tiuth. Give a student who dis likes history an account of the Revo lution to learn, and Janice Meredith to read, and we venture to affirm that as a result be will gain twice as murh from the latter. In the recoid of events as to time, place and circum stance, Ford is minutely exact. Those favorite toys of many writers, dates, are brought to netice only when abso lutely necessary, yet he follows clearly and distinctly the struggle of our fore fathers for liberty of thought of action through all its shifting scenes of defeat and triumph~. With a lively intensit y he. displays the seeming hopelessness of the cause-the country, half royal st, half American in sentiment, pluno ered by Hleseirn and Englishman; the feeble army suffering from cold and iffcultie.s the steady fire of the comn nander's faith and hope burns ?>right ntil it kindles a similar flame ins the. eat t of the lowest private in the ranks and surmounting every obstacle wins he hard fight. One of the severest rals is discontent in the armyv a.nd iifection among the people. Noth ing daunted, the general does not give p. Ford spares himself no tronha" n putting in details, character sket ches. ictures of the state of the countrv, and glimp'es of the social life of tee imes, weaving them into this wee of leasant history. In vivid contrast re the purposes of the two forces he one, believing the contest mer port, laugh and enjoy themselvea; th ther with an intense purpose in viwa, ight courageously for principal a rery graphic illustration of this d&ffer nce the author gives us on the iiigu. f the battle of Trenton encamped in he town lie the British, confideatt ,f heir safety. The night is wikii, bey plunge into inbrriment. Ravelsn nd fea-.ting are at their height. Eves v essian is a brute from strong d i'nk. n the opposite side of the rivs", in pite of snow and cold, the Cottinsen als are preparing to cross. Over t hi-~ ullen ice-blocked stream they imn c.e heir rafts-they land and push on.I urely they will not attack Generae hall's foree with that bandfu of en? Yes! and conquer it too in a way- 'hat sends every inactive Ameri an nnrrying to the ba' ner unlfurled in reedom's name. The author's backgr.'und in is reat traged~y is as Wei drawni as the forground. Read where you will, ou can obtain a no more charming or tuthful description of :Ihose old days. otted all over the cuintry are cozy arm-houses, where so short a period efore peace reignsd supreme; now. ll is anxiety and confusion. The oinage has depreciated in value; the veil-stored barns are dlaily ransacked y friend as well as foe, and trouble i onstantly anticipated from~ the rong nvaders. A searcity of food, of clothing. ci vi-ything but courage to fight to the eah follows. However in the miidet f dire nesed and distress, old age atnd outh alike find time for social pleas res. Can any thing of our day egna' hat genuine free-hearted hospin. hich distintguished our ancestors? Da modern ideas resemble those Puri an ones of refinement and goodI breed hg? Janice Meredith, the heroiue, may be takenm as one type of the Revo ltionary ber uty and belle. Thei trmness of her mother frowns upont he girl's fickleness, thotught lessness and fondness fot- teasing her lovers. But conventionality wearies her. Im Robbed the Grave. A startling incident of which Mr John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him at foito-s: -wa in a most dreadtnl contdition.

Throughout thi book there runs a streak of quaint spicy humor and a halt conceale< pathos, mingled with a delicate satire which make the scenes so realistic, so t! ne to life that the reader almos Iforgets he is living in the nineteent] and not the eighteenth century. Bu swho are the actors in this great play The leading role is occupied by Gene ral Washington, our steadfast guide while as subordinate characters ar he 'familiar figures of Lee, Gates Cornwallis, Howe and a host of oth-r, -each has his part in the composit whole. As clear in its outline as i head on a cameo is the portrayal o: every character. Taugible, live beings they seem t< us, of real flesh and blood. True t< the records also are they; Lee unfaith fal, has betrayed his trust; Gates scheming and politic, leaves the fiel at a critical moment; Howe with hii fine mind is unmanned by his anima instincts : Corn wallis, zealous but lack lug in military ability, surrenders all Washington the general becomei Washington the friend and in his caml life is conEideiate of others' comfort anmindful of his own, always un slfish, courteous and tender-hearted Until the clese of the conlict this mar plays the principal part, and power tully is it acted. It is easy to read hii lifo's motive; it is easy to see how wel Lin iives up to it. Were it not for the orig nality which pervades each pag o t ibe book one might almost imagine tat the .riter had written it with i biiry ot the United States by his side, for be is unerring. The drama of Paul Leicester Ford's, in which the .times may represent the background, the Revolation the tragedy act, and - forefathers the actors, is destined to take its place a one of the relialie historical novels of the present century.
