Book Review.

"The Ideals of the Republic," or Great Words from Great Americans." Knickerbocker Nugget Series. G. P. Putnam Sons, New York and London.

This little book appears very appropriately near the centenial anniversary of Washington's inauguration. Its contents are already familiar, for it is merely a compilation of some of the greatest documents of American history. The book contains the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution of the United States, Washington's two inaugurals and farewell address, Lincoln's two inaugurals and speech at Gettysburg. The farewell address of Washington is carefully edited with marginal notes. Like all the rest of the series this book is well printed and neatly bound. It contains two fairly good portrait plates-Washington and Lincoln.
