investigations of his critics. Of his Discovery of North America (1892), a comprehensive view of the whole field of his labour made when he had advanced far in his own development, Professor Edward Gaylord Bourne said that it was the greatest contribution to the history of American geography since Humboldt's Examen. Harrisse gave a large portion of his thought to three great figures in the period of discovery, Columbus, Cabot, and Vespuccius, planning an exhaustive book on each. On the first he produced his Jean et Sebastien Cabot (1882), besides several smaller pieces; and on the second he wrote his Christophe Colombe (2 vols., 1884-85). On the third he collected a great mass of material, discussing some of the points in monographs, but death intervened before a final and exhaustive work was actually written. Like a true explorer he was ever seeking new knowledge, correcting in one voyage errors made in another. He did not hesitate to alter his views when newly discovered fac

ithsonian printed his Physical Observations in the Arctic Seas (Volume 15). One of the most devoted and interesting of all Arctic explorers was Charles Francis Hall. His heart was so thoroughly in the work, at first a search for Franklin, that he made three fruitful expeditions and would have continued had he not mysteriously died in full health on the last journey. The first expedition was on an ordinary whaling ship to the Eskimos, with whom he lived for two years in 1860-62. On the second trip he again lived with Eskimos in 1864-69, and on the third voyagein 1871 in the Polaris he got to 82° 11', at the Polar ocean via Smith Sound. His Narrative of the [third or Polaris] North Polar expedition (1876) was edited by C. H. Davis: the Narrative of the second Arctic expedition to Repulse Bay (1879) was edited by Prof. J. E. Nourse. That of Hall's first journey was published in 1864, the year in which he started on his second, with the title Arctic researches and life among the E

In the matter of emendations he is exceedingly cautious—too cautious to suit Lowell. Lowell's anonymous review (Atlantic monthly, Jan.-Feb., 1857) deserves to be reprinted.

an an insight not justified by history, yet that average man was quite right in hearing such an accent in those speeches of the second manner as indicated behind the literary person a character that was void of fear—at least, of what we mean by fear when thinking of men of action. That Lincoln wanted the nomination, welcomed it, fought hard for his election, only the sentimental devotees of the saint-hero object to admitting. Nor did his boldness stop at that. Between the election and New Year's Day, the secession of South Carolina and the debates in Congress forced the Republicans to define their policy. The President-elect, of course, was the determining factor. Peace or war was the issue. There is no greater boldness in American history than Lincoln's calm but inflexible insistence on conditions that pointed toward war. No amiable pacifism, no ordinary dread of an issue, animated the man of the hour at the close of 1860. Then, in the later winter, between his determination

as Christian Civilization. I believe that Christianity and modern civilization are opposed and irreconcilable and that the spirit of Christianity and of our ancient religion is essentially the same. . . . Since there is nothing left us but remembrance, at least let that remembrance be just. With reference to the treachery of the whites, at times, in the treatment of Indians it is permissible to refer the reader to the Massacre of Cheyenne Indians, 38th Congress, 2nd Sess., House Doc., Jan. 10th, 1865, wherein the Committee on the Conduct of the War, Benjamin F. Wade, Chairman, reports on an unprovoked attack by Colorado militia on a Cheyenne village in which sixty-nine, two thirds women and children, were killed and the bodies left on the field. The Indian side of much of the trouble of the years following 1861 may be read in Forty Years with the Cheyennes, written by George Bent for The frontier, a Colorado Springs monthly. Bent's mother was Owl Woman of the Southern Cheyenn

ic master (26 September, 1904). But there was something more behind Belasco's ability to create stage atmosphere by lighting and scene. His love of the West suggested The girl of the Golden West and prompted his acceptance of Richard Walton Tully's The Rose of the Rancho (27 November, 1906）—a collaboration which left Tully with a love for the spectacular, apparent in his own independent dramas, The Bird of paradise (Daly's Theatre, 8 January, 1912) and Omar, the tent Maker (Lyric Theatre, 13 January, 1914). In all of his productions, as a manager, Belasco has held the guiding hand. Though John Luther Long gave him the central materials for Madame Butterfly, The Darling of the gods, and Adrea, the Belasco touch brought them to flower. This has been the invariable result of his collaboration. The one original play of his which best illustrates the mental interest of the man is The return of Peter Grimm (2 January, 1911), which deals with the presence of the dead. A related subject

y as Sutter's Fort. It was begun in 1841 and completed in 1845, on the site of the present city of Sacramento. Although Sutter was Swiss he may be classed as an American in view of all the circumstances connected with his life. His fort mounted carronades and cannon and was garrisoned by about forty well armed, drilled, uniformed Indians. There were extra arms for more if needed. In his Diary See also Reminiscences in Ms., Bancroft Collection. printed in the Argonaut (San Francisco, 26 Jan., 2, 9, 16 Feb., 1878) Sutter tells of his own doings, and in the Life and times of John A. Sutter (1907) T. J. Schoonover relates the entire story of this remarkable pioneer, the good friend of everybody but bankrupted by thieves. By 1846 the dispute with Great Britain over Oregonwas settled and the Americans there knew where they belonged. They had been warmly defended and assisted by the then head of Hudson Bay Company affairs in that region, John McLoughlin, who himself finally becam

cabin (first played 24 August, 1852) having ante-dated the internecine struggle. Even today, the subject of the negro and his relation with the white is one warily handled by the American dramatist. Dion Boucicault's The Octoroon (Winter Garden, 5 December, 1859), was typical of the way that dramatist had of making hay out of the popular sunshine of others. William DeMille wanted to treat of the negro's social isolation, but compromised when he came to write Strongheart (Hudson Theatre, 30 January, 1905) by making the hero an Indian; and he later fell into the conventional way of treating the war when he wrote The Warrens of Virginia (Belasco Theatre, 3 December, 1907). The more sensational aspects of the negro question, as treated by Thomas Dixon in The Clansman (Liberty Theatre, 8 January, 1906) were wisely softened and made into an elaborate record of the Civil War, in the panoramic moving picture, The birth of a nation (New York, 1915).
