Joseph Pulitzer was a very different man from W. T.

Stead; but he shares with the latter the distinction of being a noted journalist, " a superman of the street." Messrs.- Geoffrey Bles have just published Joseph Pulitzer, • by Mr. Seitz (16s.); telling the story of this Hungarian lad who swam ashore in Boston harbour in 1864, and some twenty years later 'became a millionaire who made and unmade politicians. This book is full of anecdotes and character-sketches of the men who made modern America. It will be reviewed later. . * * *
