It is a striking contrast to turn fromI such thoughts so loftilyexpressed and so. forcibly expounded to Mr. I'ickett's ad-j vocacy of a wholesale removal of the

\u25a0 American negroes to Afrif-a.,. One hun-i dred million dollars a year should be. expended by the general government, and. states and individuals might be espect-:ed to contribute to tiie cause. Tl:o ten'

Strictly king, there was no press-j ing need for the publication of this book.;Mr. Holly.ay - Calthrop's volume •>n

Petrarch, printed some two years ago.j constitutr-8 an adequate narrative of thei poet's life for the general reader, and Is,;into the bargain, an uncommonly enter-

taining piece of work. But who shall': blame Vat lover of letters who is urged; by nothing more nor leas than a warmi sympathy for the great pioneer la Ital-: iii humanism to set forth Ills Btory

anew? Miss Jcrrold is such an eathust-;aft, ami. sime she has made a creditableiifnot especial weighty book out of her'

studies, one may easily turn these pages'. in friendly m«od.

Miss Jerrold speaks of her wish to pre-I s«?nt thf twofold aspect of I*otrarc4i asjpo«t and humanist In |uch wise that the;cmo should not obscure, the other. Her!purpose is laudable, and readers who doJ not possess Italian will be grateful for

her generosity In English versions ofman) passages and complete poems.

iNevertheless, even the rnobt disinter-: ested student of Petrarch's poetry, read-: Ingit simply and solely for its own sake,1 Is perpetually turning to the man's per-*£onallty, perpetually realizing him in his. capacity as adventurer through the world

; of fourteenth century affairs, as well as; through the domain of thought. Ills ap-ical for us is that of a peculiarly mod-; crn type, and this despite the fact that

courteous and large minded a visitor;even the coastguards fraternized withhim and fed him on jokes ami coldboiled arttehokes. He describes briefly

and with humor his excursions about thocountry: he offers effective glimpses ofSicilian romance, and be provides somoparticularly entertaining chapters on themarionette theatre?. He is at pains toremove popular impressions .which heconsiders erroneous: he is, for example,inclined to attribute the idea that Sicilyis more dangerous than other countries"less to the frequency of crime therethan to the operatic manner in which itis committed." As for Sicilian manners,he gives a most engaging account elthem. lie says in Illustration: "AFrenchman, speaking of an Englishmanto whom Ihad introduced him. said tome, 'He speaks French worse than youdo! Any Italian wishing- to express asimilar idea would have said, 'He speaksItalian. Itis true, but not so well as you•do.'" Our author talks poetry andmusic, Dante and Shakespeare, with hislandlord's son, who waits on him at din-ner, and with the master of a little winechop, and many of his pleasantest en-counters are with humbler folk, thoseardent and persistent natrons of themarionette theatre, tho Facchini. por-ters, coachmen, shoeblacks and the likeAt Catania he writes:

thing in common between his stories and"Margarita's Soul" beyond a certaia de-

gree of adaptation of method. The man

of fifty whose recollections are sot forthin this book is not only romantic; he is

sentimental, with the wholesome, pleas-ing sentimentality uf the- old bachelorWho has not turned crusty, v.hose unful-filled love lias in the course of tho yearsbecome a cherished asset, the poetry andgentlo consolation of bis solitude, not

ita cross. His sweet melancholy is a

luxury; indeed, he revels in it. But tlwtitle of the book is somewhat of a mis-nomer.It is not the story of "Margarita's

She was foundwandering ,on Broadway, twenty yearsago, an untutored savage— a blank leafawaiting the script of her discoverer.He marries her, a child in mind, know-ing nothing of the meaning of marriage,

then engages a governess for her, who

trains her/ as one trains an infant. The

secret of her soul she guards; thosewatching her. certainly her biographer,

sion?; the reader who chooses would bo

justified in opining that Margarita hadno soul, only impulses, were it not for

those closing chapters. Her brief careeras an opera singer one may pass over; itis "in the air" just now. The story willowe what measure or popular success itmay well attain to its treatment andsetting, not to its subject, which is far

from novel. But is not the old bachelor,
