 New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 27 and 29 W. Twenty-third street. 

 1882. Price $1.00. 



Whether we do or do not endorse what this writer says does not 

 alter the fact that the book is certainly very interesting reading. The 

 author claims to prove the parallelism between the Salem witchcraft 

 trials and the trial of Guiteau, and asserts that the future will read 

 these and the trial of Whittaker alike. We call attention to "Appen- 

 dix B,""Can the insane be legally punished?" You will think 

 about the book after you have read it.
