BOOK REVIEWS AND NOTICES.
Among other documents lately received by the librarian of the
Association is a reprint made by A. Turner of Houston's official
report of the battle of San Jacinto (pp. 16). Although undated,
it seems to have been published at Gonazles in 1874. It is the gift
of Mrs. Julia Miller, of Gonzales.
Mr. Lawrence S. Taylor, of Nacogdoches, sends the Association
an interesting pamphlet entitled A History of the Action of the
Political and Civil authorities and citizens relating to the land
office at Nacogdoches, under the jurisdiction of Charles S. Taylor,
Commissioner appointed by the Government of Coahuila and Texas
(Nacogdoches, Carraway's Print, 1901, pp. 14). This pamphlet
contains copies of a number of documents the originals of which
are in the custody of Mr. Lawrence S. Taylor, son of Charles S.
Taylor, and which were published to serve as evidence of Mr.
Charles S. Taylor's appointment as land commissioner, and of his
official record in that capacity. It is of special interest in that it
contains a half-tone engraving of Mr. Charles S. Taylor. Along
with other matter, it contains also a list of 176 titles issued by
him.
Reconstruction and the Ku Klux Klan, by T. W. Gregory, a
paper read before the Arkansas and Texas Bar Associations, July
10, 1906 (privately printed, pp. 22), is a forceful and suggestive
essay in which the raison d'etre of the Klan, the good it accom-
plished, its abuses, and its unhappy results are alike set forth in
frank and impressive statement. It is based partly upon the
author's personal recollections and partly on the historical litera-
ture of the subject, especially "The Ku Klux Klan," by D. L. Wil-
son, in the Cen ury for July, 1884, and "The Ku Klux Move-
noent," by William Garrott Brown, in the Atlantic for May, 1901.
This pamphlet is heartily recommended to all readers of THE
QUARTERLY who wish to understand the subject with which it
deals.349
