Brookings, W. Du B., and Ringwalt, R. C. eds. Briefs for debate. 73 "The basis of the work has been a collection of some two hundred briefs prepared during the past ten years by students in Harvard University, under the direction of instructors. Of these briefs the most useful and interesting have been selected; the material has been carefully worked over, and the bibliographies enlarged and verified. A number of new topics, as well as a list of questions suitable for debate, have been added; and the whole has been made uniform in treatment." Brown, I. H. Popular speaker. No. 1. 73c Corson, H. Voice and spiritual education. 73b Its purpose is to emphasize the importance of vocal culture not to impart elocutionary instruction. Curry, S. S. Imagination and dramatic instinct. 73b Ward, M. A. Old colony days. 91a Gives in small compass the results of labor in a wide and fruitful field. Is indexed. ANCIENT HISTORY. Anderson, R. E. Story of extinct civilizations of the east. 90 Holm, A. History of Greece. v. 3. 90a Deals with a period of Greek history which derives its special interest from the muchcontested importance of a few prominent Earle, Mrs. A. M. Colonial days in old New York. 91d Mrs. Earle here describes the daily life, the habits, the dress, occupations, furniture, domestic economy, the characteristic customs of Dutch times in old New York. Pennsylvania magazine of hist. and biog. v. 1-9. 1877-85. Ref. 91d Smith, Z. F. History of Kentucky. 91d An authentic and full narrative history from its earliest discovery, settlements, explorations, and antiquities; its pioneer life and experiences; the conquest of the North west from the British by General Clark in 1773; the Spanish and French intrigues to detach Kentucky from the Union and set up a Trans-Montane empire; the repulses of Kentucky by Congress for eight years, and after nine conventions in her efforts to enter the Union; the Burr conspiracy; the Revolution of 1798; Kentucky in the war of 181215; the great issues and party conflicts led by Henry Clay and Andrew Jackson; Kentucky in the war with Mexico; in the Civil war, 1861-65; unique position of neutrality and its issue; its political, social and industrial progress; its educational and religious development; its military events and achievements, and biographic mention of its historic characters; men and history of post bellum period. Clarke, Mrs. M. V. (N.) My long life. Mrs. Clarke, the author of " Concordance to Shakespeare," and many other books, was a daughter of the celebrated musician Vincent Novello. Her recollections include so many of the notable literary and musical people of the last century that every page is interesting. Both Charles Lamb and Leigh Hunt she knew intimately. Her story is told in a charming and artless manner. Darwin, F. Charles Darwin. Eastwick, R. W. Master mariner. Ford, P. L. True George Washington. Frankenberg, F., Graf. Kriegstage bucher. Count Frankenberg has shared largely in the great movements of political and military development since 1866. He stands near Bismarck and is in the best sense of the word a German patriot. Guizot, F. P. G. Life of Oliver Cromwell. Krasinska, F., countess. Journal. Such a glimpse into the heart of a sweet young maid one seldom gets. The young Polish girl of barely sixteen begins her re cord in 1759, while she is still living in the home nest at the castle of Maleszow with her parents. Her story is a romantic one, and its interest is enhanced by the knowledge that she was a beauty in her day. The journal is written with a charming freshness and simplicity of language, and the dreams of ambition that are innocently revealed do not hide an affectionate and trusting nature. -San Francisco Argonaut. La Rochejaquelein, M. S. V. de D., Marquise de. Memoires. 2v. Lothrop, T. K. William Henry Seward. (American statesmenser.) A valuable addition to a strong series of biographies which have won a very remarkable degree of popular favor. Lowell, T. C. Joan of Arc [Darc]. Massie, D. M. Nathaniel Massie, a pioneer of Ohio. A sketch from his life and selections from his correspondence. This conflict between St. Clair and Massie was in fact a struggle between the Federalists and the Republicans over the Northwest Territory; the story of the former has been frequently told-as in Burnet's Notes, the St. Clair Papers and Cutler's Memoirs-but the case of the latter has never been fully and fairly stated until in this work, which gives not only an account of the early settlements of the Virginians in Ohio, but also of their successful struggles for political supremacy. Mole, E. King's hussar. Ogilvie, J. S. Life and speeches of William McKinley. Owen, R. Life of Richard Owen. 2v. Perey, L., pseud. Une princesse Romaine au 17e siècle, Marie Mancini Colonna. A remarkably vivid picture of the highest social life in France and Italy during the latter half of the seventeenth century. Strauss, D. F. Ausgewaehlte Briefe. Tarbell, I. M. Madame Roland. By a skillful use of her varied sources of information Miss Tarbell has thrown much new light upon the career of a noted woman, and has produced a book rich in insight from beginning to end-one which, for accurate statement and discerning criticism, is likely to remain long the standard biography of Madame Roland. -and Davis, J. M. Early life of Lincoln. This was published in McClure. Van Alstine, Mrs. J. Charlotte Corday. Wilson, W. George Washington. PERIODICALS. Antiquary. v. 1-31. 1880-95. Ref. 93a National review. 1855-1864. Ref. 100b T MECHANIC ARTS AND TRADES. HE following list has been formed from the classes of mechanical and sanitary engineering, useful arts and trades and mechanic arts and trades, and will be found a valuable reference list for those interested in these subjects. The number at the head of the class should be used in calling for books under that heading, except in the few cases where the individual number follows the title. "Ref." following the title means that it is for reference only and cannot be taken from the Library. "S. S." means special security. Books thus marked can be drawn by leaving a deposit, or by offering such other security as may be satisfactory to the Librarian. The Library has recently ordered about $200 worth of books on electricity, when these are received a reading list on this subject will be published. In the meantime recommendations of useful books on electricity, as well as suggestions for additions to the following classes are solicited from engineers and mechanics. As will be observed our sets of certain periodicals and local reports in this list are very incomplete. Persons having missing numbers will put them to the best possible use by donating them to the Library where they will be accessible to the public. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. CLASS 40b. Buel, R. H.
