— Professor A. D. Morse is the author of a monograph recently 

 published by the American Academy of Political and Social Sci- 

 ence, on " The Place of Party in Political System " It is a trea- 

 tise on the philosophy of party, a subject which has been generally 



neglected by political scientists. After showing by what other 

 means the State has sought to hold the government in due subor- 

 dination to itself, he proves that the institution of party is the 

 best device for accomplishing this end. He shows how party 

 carries out its two chief functions, namely, to educate and organ- 

 ize public opinion, and to administer government. In regard to 

 this latter function, he holds that under a system of party gov- 

 ernment, the party in power does the work which falls to the 

 king in a system which is really monarchical. The monograph 

 will doubtless create considerable discussion, as we are not wont 

 to put so high a theoretical value to the party system. 



— D. 0. Heath & Co. will publish shortly " Reading and Speak- 

 ing: Familiar Talks to Young Men who would Speak well in 

 Public," by Brainard Gardner Smith, associate professor of elocu- 

 tion and oratory, Cornell University. Especial importance is 

 given to the theory of sentential delivery as based on the systems 

 of Walker and Mandeville.

 newed energy and vitality, and

 in my practice, but in my own individual 

 case, and consider it under all circumstances 

 one of the best nerve tonics that we possess. 

 For mental exhaustion or overwork it gives 

 renewed strength and vigor to the entire
