THE WHIG PARTY IN THE SOUTH.

Amang the mast interesting histarical warks af the past yearis "The Whig Party in the Souih," by Arthur Charles Cale, Ph.D., instructar in histary in the University of lilinois. It is un­

doubtedly an illuminating treatise and is warthy af the honor to.which it was voted hy the l\nH'riqjl 11istorical J\ssaciatian as a"l'rize Essay." It unites a telllperateness of tone and conscicnti­

aus research that Call11ot fail to inlerest and instruct. Dr. Cole

presents vcry carefully ail the facts which entered into the originand career Df the ord Whig party in the South .
