Thrilling Tales of Enterprise, Heroism, and Adventure. By Dr. Macaulay.
(Hodder and Stoughton.)—Dr. Macaulay follows up his volume of last year, "Stirring Stories of Peace and War," by another of very similar character. We are still of opinion that the
stories would be better for some arrangement. Apart from this, we have nothing to object to Dr. Macaulay's selections or manner of
treatment ; and we find ourselves, for the most part, in hearty agree- ment with him when he touches on controverted topics, on the real character of Wed Tyler's insurrection, for instance, or the lesson read to the English Government by the story of the Alabama.' Dr. Macaulay might have given a word of praise to the heroic conduc of one who was concerned in that not very heroic business, the career of the Alabama,' the surgeon, Mr. Llewellyn, who went down while he was attending to the wounded.
