On Sherman's Track; or, the South aft.m. the War. By

John H.. Kennaway. (Seeley.)—Mr. Kennaway's tour coat him 160i. to 1801.„ and took him through a part of America which has not been rendered fit for comfortable travel since Sherman passed over it. But it is this. that gives Mr. Kennaway's book its novelty and its chief merit. He seems not to have been committed before starting to any parthanship„ and to have used both eyes and ears as well as he could during a hasty run. One result of these facts is that he trims a good deal, and while attempting to achieve fairness he has an air of indecision. Parts of his book will give offence to North as well as South, and yet neither one will admit that the other has been sufficiently censured. The facts, too, which Mr. Kennaway communicates are sometimes as contradictory as. his opinions, and we do not know whether he has been misinformed or has seen an exceptional state of things. The latter is the more pro- bable, especially as some of his statements lead us to conclude that things are mending.
