Messrs. Scribner have published the first volume of Our Times
(1s.),. a' history of the United States from 1900 to 1904, by that distinguished 'American journalist Mr. Murk' Sullivan. Subsequent volumes will bring American history up to 1925. Mr. Sullivan has known all the leading men in the United States for the last generation and his work is of historical importance as well as of fascinating interest. - Much of his writing will be view jeu to Americans, but new here.. He describes how Mr. Bryan's silver-tongued and mag- netic speech (" You shall not preis dovin upon the brow of labour this crown of thorns, you shall not crucify mankind- upon a cross of gold,") sent the Democratic Convention of 1894 into raptures and secured for him the nomination .for
, . .
the Presidency, and he tells us many other incidents which have shaped recent histOry and of which details we are all too ignorant on this side of the Atlantic.
