Translated, with the approval of the Author, by Louis F. Tasistro. Edited by Henry Coppee, Ll. D. Volume I. Philadelphia: Joseph H. Coates & Co. 1875. It would be absurdly extravagant praise to say of this bulky volume, what was said with such pointed severity of the reply to Bentley, published under the name of Boyle, in the once famous controversy concerning the letters of Phalaris, that it was the best book ever written by any man upon the wrong side of a question of which he was profoundly ignorant. It would, indeed, be much nearer the truth, strong as such language certainly is, to pronounce it the worst book ever written under such circumstances. It would seem well nigh impossible for the mingled force of prejudice and ignorance to go farther, great as their powers confessedly are. Such sentence

r. It is very necessary that better arrangements for receiving freight be made, and a more vigilant police system adopted. Soldiers cannot afford to loose the necessaries which their friends at home have so carefully provided and forwarded to them. Back of the hotel building is a small grove, which is generally filled either with tents or transport wagons. At the eastern end of this is the Medical Purveyor's office, while still further on is a small white cottage, occupied by Major Cornelius Boyle, the Provost Marshal of the post. Some distance away, but still within sight, are many farm houses, which, with their out-buildings and barns, form an interesting feature in the scenery. Although the place is generally called Manassas, the correct name is Tudor Hall. This is Manassas Gap, but there is another village of the same name at the other end of the railroad, and it was found that there was often difficulty having mail matter delivered correctly.

and was very well known in this vicinity. This lamentable affair is the first that has occurred in our army from the use of liquor, although we see by the papers they are common in Washington and in the Federal army. For many weeks Major Cornelius Boyle, the Provost Marshal, has done all in his power to prevent the sale of liquor to soldiers, but still they manage to purchase it in some manner from the citizens residing near, who smuggle it into them, in various ways. Several men have been tried before Major Boyle, have endured the penalty of their offence and immediately after their release have been detected in a repetition of it. In this case both the murderer and the man who furnished him the liquor upon which he got into a drunken frenzy have been arrested. Which of the two deserves the greater punishment?.
