New Books on Colonial Times. COLONIAL DAYS IN, OLD NEW YORK. By Alice Morse Earle. 12mo, $1.25. "A delightful picture of that metropolis a hundred and more years ago, presented in glowing colors and with realistic touches. There have not been lacking attempts to depict those characteristics which peculiarly belong to the early settlers of New Amsterdam, but no writer has gathered up more details from contemporaneous records, or more fully studied their habits and the outward and physical aspects of their daily social life. Information has been hunted down with admirable persistency, and linked together so that the result is as entertaining as any novel."-Boston Herald. COSTUME OF COLONIAL TIMES.

Impassioned oratory and unmeasured words have done much to retard the progress of social reforms. Fortunately or otherwise the mass of people are conservative to the verge of pigheadedness, and recoil from extravagant attacks on the existing order. Nor are many men moved by an array of figures, however carefully collated, unless the statistician gives evidence of a warm heart as well as a cool head. Given the combination of both and you may be reasonably sure of an audience. For this reason we are confident that we do not err in saying that Dr. Abbott and Dean Hodges have made each a valuable contribution to the study of those social problems which appear to press for a solution. The former' has given us something of a mosaic of his own lectures and addresses, delivered in various places, together with some articles published in several periodicals. It consequently lacks the systematic arrangement which the reader might desire, though the ground is well covered and there is no suspicion of scrappiness. Christianity in its relation to democracy, communism, and socialism, Christ's standard of values, Christ's law for the settlement of controversy, international, personal and industrial are all treated with a vigorous hand. The present method of dealing with criminals is strongly condemned and, as every one knows who knows anything about the subject, condemned with justice. Almost at the end of the volume the author says a word for that unfortunate creature, "the fallen woman. |
