The Life-Work of Edward A. Moseley. By James Morgan. (Macmillan

and Co. 8s. 6d. net.)—Mr. Moseley filled the important post of Secretary of the American Interstate Commerce Commission from its organization in 1897 until his death in 1911. This body occupies a position in regard to American railroads somewhat analogous to that held by the Board of Trade in England. The present volume describes Mr. Moseley's work as the champion of laws which have promoted safety, justice, and peace on the American railroads. It is good to read of the devoted labours of this Government official, "who quietly turned what might have been a routine task into a noble service on behalf of hie fellow-men."
