pardon much of partisanship in the historian; but throughout the
volume an admirably judicial tone is preserved, and indications of
partisan spirit are almost wholly absent. 'There is so much of in-
terest in the subject itself that one regrets what now and then
seems to be a sketchiness of treatment. However, the most ob-
vious criticism applies to the narrow range of sources made use
of, especially as it is upon monographs such as this that the more
pretentious histories must be largely based. Allusion has been
made to the neglect of the War of the Rebellion Records. An-
other strange omission is that of the Johnson Papers in the
Library of Congress, while but little attention seems to have been
given to possible manuscript sources in Louisiana itself, though
the task of examining them is sufficiently appalling to deter the
most conscientious investigator. All of these omissions might have
been remedied by the author had he lived to finish his task.
The work of the editor has been well done. There are few ob-
vious repetitions of phrases or statements such as are common to
unfinished manuscripts; and the footnotes and the index are care-
fully made. It is to be hoped that some competent hand will now
undertake the task of carrying on the story in detail to the end of
the radical regime in 1877.

The April number of The American Historical Review (Vol.
XV, No. 3), opens with an account by the secretary, Professor
Charles I. HIaskins, of the annual meeting of the Association last
December in New York City, and contains, besides, four important
articles. Professor James F. Baldwin writes, as usual, on the con-
stitutional history of England, his article being entitled "The
King's Council and the Chancery"; Professor Guy S. Ford contin-
ues "Willner and the Prussian Religious Edict of 1788"; Hon.
John W. Foster gives an account of the separation of Church and
State in Mexico, in an article entitled "The Contest for the Laws
of Reform in Mexico"; and Dr. James Ford Rhodes writes a
stirring account of the operations of a lawless Irish labor organiza-
tion, "The Molly Maguires in the Anthracite Region of Pennsyl-
vania," 1865-1876.
