Hammond, Pages. Price, $2.50, Goodchild & Stewart, routo, With a maktér touch M. O. Ham- mond, City #ditor of the Globe, in a fine volume, discusses "Confedera- tion and Its Leaders." It is timely Just when public thought is turned to the jubilee of Confederation It is a work studiously wrought out from a great mass of diversified informa- tion Mr. Hammond spent time and money in following up clues, and in interviewing those alive who shared in the amalgamation of all the pro- vinces AMogether the work is one that will abide. It will find a place in the country's libraries and will be oft-quoted in recalling the years of wgitation, contest and compromise to enact the British North America Act and place the Dominion en the high road to greathess. Of it in 1909, Earl Grey said: 'Confederation put a soul into the Dominion, has a national spirit into the people of Canada whose lustre and: growth are 'at once the hope and glory of the British Empire." With marked clearness and dis- cernment Mr. Hammond has found time to examine the part played by the leaders of that day in the various provincés in bringing about the un- the men were diverse in view sincére in purpose, and their at- Toronto, 319 McClelland, lad.,, To- fon; but A A A AAA AA . . - Public Library Bulletin Some Classed Books of | Books Are Free te All ( the Invisible King in Court--F.

With true newspaper instinct the writer has seized on the chief characteris- tics and enveloped them in living lines true and unique. Among the chief men whose lives are vivified are Sir John Macdonald, Sir George Car- tier, Sir Leonard Tilley, Sir Charles Tupper, Sir Alexander Galt, Joseph Howe, Peter Mitchell, and Sir Oliver Mowat All 'were forceful, characters in the reconstruction per- fod were doubters and disturb- ers on the ground, but with courage, with far vision, with abounding en- thusiasm and 'with assurance of all consuming, form the men forced the issue angd- their success is shown in a well-palanced and cohesive feder- ation."
