“L’Allemagne lepnis, Leibniz. Essai sur le Développement de la Conscience Nationale en Allemagne.” By Prof. Lévy Brühl, Paris. 1 vol. Hachette, 1890.

“History of the Creation of United Germany.” 5 vols. Heinrich v. Sybel, Berlin, 1890.

Few events since the deceptions and catastrophes of the war itself ever produced the sudden impression of Lévy Brühl’s boldly outspoken, utterly impartial book. Published in the first days of last September (1890), in one week it was famous throughout all France where serious literature does not reap renown quickly. M. M. Lairesse De Vogüé, Bourdeau, Sorel, all welcomed it as a revelation, in the Débats, Revues des Deux Mondes , and elsewhere, and its real title was awarded it in the Temps , by M. Albert Sorel, whose experience and competence as an historical critic has never been denied, and who unhesitatingly proclaimed it, Le Fuit et l’Idée , namely, the announcement of the ruling national idea whence the fact of German unity was immediately derived.

“ Le Temps ,” 9th September, 1890.

Life of Monckton Milnes, first Lord Houghton, by Wemyss Reid. 2 vols. London, 1891.

The heroic founder of the Bavarian monarchy, Otho of Writtelsbach, was betrayed shamefully by his friend, the Emperor Philip, of Suabia, and slew him for his treachery. This is one of the oldest dramas on the German stage.

The celebrated victory of the Great Elector, that made Prussia into a kingdom.

I would recommend every student of history to read attentively the extraordinary article of M. Paleologue in the Revue des Deux Mondes entitled “ La Reine Louise de Prusse Comment se Fait une Legende .” It is a poetic but true suite to Professor Lévy Brühl’s magnificent study.

The first part of this admirable essay appeared in July Arena.

Mr. John P. Meany, editor of Poor’s Manual of Railroads, in the New York Sun of January 12, 1891.
