he partisan and write more in the spirit of the true soldier, and our purpose to show up hereafter some of his more glaring perversions of the truth of history. Brook Farm to Cedar Mountain, in the war of the rebellion; 1861-1862. By General George H. Gordon. Boston: James R. Osgood & Co. We reserve for future review this admirably written and very interesting book which is a part of the series of which the Army of Virginia and A War Diary form a continuous history of the war. GeneralGeneral Gordon writes with a free pen, and some of his criticisms on the blundering stupidity of political managers in Washington, acting upon the colossal incapacity of their favorites in the field, are very rich. We commend the book as well worth reading and preserving. the century keeps up its high standard of excellence, and the November number contains a very readable paper on the retreat from Richmond, and capture of President Davis, by his private secretary, Burton N. Harrison. Zzz
