BIOGRAPHY. Seldom has a work appeared 

 that commanded more general attention, at 

 home and abroad, or that on the whole better 

 rewards the public curiosity, than the " Life, 

 Letters, and Journals of George Ticknor" 

 (Osgood), a man who was fortunate in the 

 acquaintance of a large number of eminent 

 persons in Europe, and had enough substance 

 of character to be in no danger of being 

 lost or dwarfed in the crowd of celebrities 

 around him. A work that has long needed to 

 be done is at last very well done, in "The Life 

 of Alexander Hamilton," by John T. Morse 



Jr. (Little, Brown & Co., Bonton). The fame 

 of Hamilton it) one of tiie treasures of tin- re- 

 public, and it was more than time that ho 

 should 1)0 known to the present generation 

 otherwise than as exhibited by his rival* ami 

 detractors. A remarkable ruiver i- *ketdi<-d in 

 the "Life of the Rev. Eliphalet Nott, !>.!>., 

 LL.D.," by C. Van Santvoord, I). I)., and Tay- 

 ler Lewis, LL. D. Dr. Nott gained a national 

 reputation as a pulpit orator, especially by his 

 eloquent eulogy on Hamilton in 18U5, subse- 

 quently distinguished himself for nearly half a 

 century as an educator at the head of Union 

 College, and almost survived the civil war. A 

 liinirr.-i|iliy of historical value and interest is the 

 " Life of William Samuel Johnson," by Rev. E. 

 E. Beardsley (Hurd & Houghton). The " Life of 

 Israel Putnam," by Increase N. Tarbox (Lock- 

 wood, Brooks & Co., Boston), is not so much 

 a narrative of the life of the subject as an ar- 

 gument to prove that he commanded at Bun- 

 ker Hill. There is room for a work that shall 

 eliminate the real life from the legendary story 

 of Putnam. The "Memoirs of Charles G. Fin- 

 ney, by Himself" (Barnes), and the "Life and 

 Letters of the Rev. John McClintock, D. D., 

 LL. D.," by the Rev. Dr. G. R. Crooks, are 

 works of permanent worth in religious biog- 

 raphy.
