Charles Peirce Stetson was a son of the late Charles Stetson, ’23, and was born in Bangor, May 24, 1835. He pre- pared for College in the Bangor schools and after graduating from Yale with the Class of Fifty-Five, took up the study of law in Bangor with Messrs. Rowe & Bartlett, where he remained un- | til 1856. The following year was spent in the Harvard Law School and in July, 1857, he was admitted to the bar of Maine. He then formed a partnership with Joseph Carr, of Bangor, and immediately began to practice. His ability soon won recognition in both professional and political circles and-in the Fall of 1861 he was elected County Attorney for Penobscot County, to which position’ he was elected for twelve successive years. The growth of his private clientage then forced him to refuse another election. Mr. Stetson’s business sagacity and sound judgment were fully recognized by the leading corporations of the lo- cality, so that at the time of his death he was President of the European and North American Railroad, Vice-Presi- dent of the Merchant’s National Bank, and a Director in the First National Bank, Union Insurance Company, Ban- gor Gas Light Company and the Ban- gor Bridge Company. : He was married to Miss Annie S. Sawyer, May 24, 1875, who survives him. His only son, Charles Stetson, is a mem- ber of the Senior class of Yale Univer- sity.

Mr. English prepared for Yale at French’s private school in New Haven, and entered the University with the Class of Seventy-Five, but owing to ill health he was forced to withdraw before completing his course. He entered busi- ness life in the office of his father, the late ex-Lieutenant-Governor, Charles L. English, lumber merchant, and on the death of the latter, took his interest in the business, the old firm name of Eng- lish & Holt being continued.

This is a work of first-rate importance, probably the most distinctive contribution of | this year to American historical literature. nings of New England.”’ It comes next in order to Mr. Fiske’s “ Begin- It traces the causes which led to the colonizing of New York by the Dutch, and Pennsylvania by the Quakers; it describes the small beginnings, the formid- able obstacles, the tenacious purpose, and the gradual growth of these colonies to great power. The very interesting story is told with the remarkable clearness and charm which make Mr. Fiske’s volumes of American history as delightful as they are important. Letters and Kecollections of John Murray Forbes..... Edited by his daughter, SARAH F. HUGHEs. With portraits. 2 vols. 8vo, gilt top, $5.00. This work is one of the most notable which the year will bring in the department of biography. Mr. Forbes was a man of remarkable force and quality of character, a sagacious leader among business men, of an ideal public spirit, and a prince among philanthropists. Mr. Emerson, who knew him intimately, held Mr. Forbes to be an American of the noblest type. HORACE BUSHNELL By THEODORE T. MUNGER, D.D. With two portraits. 12mo, $2.00. Both the writer and the subject of this book strongly commend it to public attention, Dr. Bushnell was for years one of the brightest and clearest lights of the American pulpit, illustri- ous for strength of mind, beauty of character, and intrepid’ devotion to truth. Dr. Munger is pecu- - liarly fitted to interpret him to this generation and to build an enduring memorial to him. THE END OF AN ERA By JOHN S. WISE. 12mo, $2.00. The era here described is that which for the Southern States came to an end with the surrender of General Johnston to General Sherman in 1865. The author is the son of Gov. Henry A. Wise of Virginia, and he describes antebellum life in Vir- ginia, its social charm and its peculiar characteris- tics, the excitement of the John Brown invasion and his observations and experience during the Civil War. His book gives a remarkably vivid and accurate inside view of the Confederate States and is at once very valuable and interesting. : CONTEMPORARIES By THOMAS WENTWORTH HIGGINSON, | author of ‘‘ Cheerful Yesterdays,” etc. 12mo, | $2.00. The_ subjects treated in this interesting volume are: Emerson, Alcott, Theodore Parker, Whittier, Whitman, Lanier, An Evening with Mrs. Haw- thorne, Mrs. Child, Helen Jackson (‘‘H. a 72), John Holmes, Dr. Thaddeus W. Harris, A Visit to John Brown’s Household, Garrison, Phillips, Sum- ner, Dr. S. G. Howe, General Grant, The Eccen- tricities of Reformers, and a group of celebrities whom Colonel Higginson met in England. RELIGIO PICTORIS By HELEN BIGELOW MERRIMAN, author of ‘What Shall Make us Whole?’’ 12mo, $1.50. Mrs. Merriman’s previous book attracted marked attention. The present book is an attempt to show, from the standpoint of the artist, the fundamental unity between things material and spiritual, and that the secret of life is to be found in the relation and interaction of these. The book deals with the problems of life and religion in a profound and illuminating way and with a deeply reverent spirit, and is well fitted to inspire and lead those who find little comfort in formal creeds.
