as the crest was carried A. P. Hill arrived from Harper's Ferry with two thousand men, united with Jones and attacked Burnside and drove his fifteen thousand troops back to the bridge and saved the Confederate right, as Jackson had saved the left." Hill and Jones's defeat of Burnside was glorious. A member of Gen. Jones's staff says: "Major Garnett, with his admirably planted artillery, did much to prevent an irrevocable loss until A. P. Hill arrived. The 2d and 20th Georgians did splendid work, defeating successively seven regiments of the enemy who advanced across the bridge." Altogether Gen. Jones took part in the battles of Manassas, Seven Pines, Seven Days' fight, Garnett's Farm, Yorktown, Savage Station, Fraser's Farm, Malvern Hill, Second Manassas, Boonsboro, Ox Hill and Sharpsburg. "He left the field an ill man," says one of his staff, "just after Sharpsburg, and retired to Richmond, where he died January 15, 1863, and was buried in Hollywood." A member of his staff (Col. Williams, of Richmond) writes: "He was a very handsome man, tall and stately, and of commanding presence. He wore a long, heavy beard that covered nearly the whole of his face, but you could see his keen eye. He was genial, jovial and fond of a good joke." He m.

Boston: Houghton, Mifflin & Company, 1903. pp. 466, 8vo., illus., cloth, $3.00. GEOGRAPHIC INFLUENCES IN AMERICAN HISTORY. Albert Perry Brigham. New York: New York: The Chautauqua Press, 1903, 12 mo. pp. x., 285, illus., cloth. BY By In beautiful dress as to paper, type, binding, and illustrations, we have here an attempt, by Miss Semple, to show the influence of situation, rivers, mountains and passes, prairies and valleys, lakes and coast lines, forests, mineral deposits, temperature and rainfall, and other geographical agencies upon man's development socially. Incidental to this view are discussions as to the war of 1812, the Civil War, the Louisiana Purchase, immigration, location of cities and industries, railroads, the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean. It is all a most ambitious effort, perhaps due to feminine youthfulness, but, to use a homely phrase, it impresses one that the writer bit off more than she could "chaw." A vast task like this, to be done thoroughly, demands the preliminary clearing of the ground by a host of monographers, not one of whom has yet come into view in this particular field of the exact historical relation between physical environment and human organisms. For the lack of this indispensable help, Miss Semple gives us repetitions, padding, hasty generalizations, awkward expressions, doubtful statements, and other symptoms in places, of possibly a rehash from university lectures and general works. Pages 37 and 38 are almost duplicates. The mountains are said to be "impassible" (p. 39) and yet people were crossing them all the time. Chapter 14 is practically a condensed history of the Civil War. The explanation of New England opposition to expansion (p. 43) is at least open to question, as the New Englanders, individually, have emigrated to our farthest bounds westward. The thinness of soil at home did not keep them but rather sent them away. Like Miss Semple, Prof. Brigham seems to have tackled a job a little too big for him tho he more clearly recognizes his limitations than she, and has a simpler style. Like her he treats of the great physical features, and also pads considerably on the Civil War. Naturally as a geologist he dwells more upon the changes and conditions in the earth's crust. Like her he has produced a most readable essay for general use which does not ask for exact knowledge, and does not want it. Like Miss Semple, tho not to the same degree, he is hazy in his conceptions of the line between nature and man in the upbuilding of civilization. Both, really, are history, with an occasional drop downward till one toe can touch the geographical bottom, and then in an instant rebound to the historical surface again. But each has gathered a mass of important facts never before grouped in this way and has fortified them with exceedingly useful charts and excellent illustrations. It is most likely that each is a path breaker into a virgin region that will have to be laboriously explored in small sections at a time, and then afterwards this broad sweep can be made happily and accurately. For some purposes, these ventures are very good, but there still remains to solve in a thoughtful, judicial scholarly way the problem of accurately and profoundly showing the relation between geography and history on such large scale as the whole of this country.
