e Quakers. Alice Curwen. George Keith. Sarah Knight. William Byrd. Dr. Alexander Hamilton The English folk who became Americans during the early years of the y. Byrd's writings, and even more clearly those of the Maryland physician Alexander Hamilton, furnish the best of evidence that illiteracy was ignorance due to a lack of education as truly in 1700 as it is two centuries later. Dr. Hamilton, who is not known to have been related to the more eminent publicist of the same name, inrobably the earliest recorded in America. Reading was easily the first of Dr. Hamilton's pleasures. On his journey he picked up from the Philadelphia book stalls to this excellent author. With such saddle-bag friends to accompany him, Dr. Hamilton was well prepared to pass judgment upon the casual acquaintances who crossedlume of The adventures of Joseph Andrews, and thought my time well spent. Dr. Hamilton, one of the most entertaining of American travellers, appears to advantage e

as in reply to the first of Seabury's pamphlets that Alexander Hamilton, then a college student of seventeen, made anonymousne of the pamphleteers of the Revolutionary period excels Hamilton in the logical acumen and expository power which he here heatre and character of the war, if war must be. Yet even Hamilton, with all his precocious intellectual power, failed to po a constructive statesman. But Washington, Madison, Jay, Hamilton, Patrick Henry, and other leaders were busy with their pectively as The federalist. The essays, the joint work of Hamilton, Madison, and Jay, appeared in the New York Independent jison, nine are probably Hamilton's, three are the work of Hamilton and Madison jointly, and the remaining fifty-one are the work of Hamilton. This follows the classification in Ford's edition. The plan was Hamilton's, moreover, and his influenceon itself, and upon the authorship of the larger part of its pages the reputation of Hamilton as a publicist mainly rests.

Louis as a frontier post and of the great wilderness extending to the west of the Mississippi still makes interesting reading. Returning from his journey by way of New Orleans, he visited Columbia, South Carolina, where he was the guest of Governor Hamilton. The Governor, who had just transmitted to the legislature the edict of nullification, insisted that the author must repeat his visit to the state. Certainly, responded the guest, I will come with the first troops. In 1834, Irving decle skill, leadership, and unselfishness of Philip Schuyler; with the pettiness and bumptiousness of Gates; with the grace, fascination, and loyalty of Lafayette; and with the varied attainments and brilliant qualities of that wonderful youth Alexander Hamilton. We are not simply reading descriptions, we are looking at living pictures, and the historic narrative has the quality of a vitascope. The production of this great history constituted a fitting culmination to the literary labours of its
