Abstract
IS it perhaps to the spirit of this book-making age that we ought to attribute the fact that examples of unsatisfactory biographies have been frequent in recent years? Perhaps works of this kind are too hurriedly compiled, and are laid before the friends and the public at a date too early to allow of such a memorial proving really satisfactory to the one class or to the other.
