Statesmen -- United States; United States -- Biography
Not only in Cleveland were memorial services held. The Archbishop of
Canterbury spoke touching words in London. In Liverpool, in Manchester,
in Glasgow, and hundreds of other cities, public services were held.
Messages of condolence were sent from many of the crowned heads of
Europe.
Under the white stone monument in Lake View Cemetery, the statesman has
been laid to rest. For centuries the tomb will tell to the thousands
upon thousands who visit it the story of struggle and success; of work,
of hope, of courage, of devotion to duty. Like Abraham Lincoln, Garfield
was born in a log cabin, battled with poverty, was honest,
great-hearted, a lover of America, and, like him, a martyr to the
republic. To the world both deaths seemed unbearable calamities, but
nations, like individuals, are chastened by sorrow, and learn great
lessons through great trials. "Now we know in part; but then shall we
know even as also we are known."
"_The Best Book for Boys that has yet been written._ We say this with
Tom Brown's delightful School Days fresh in our recollection."--_Portland
Press._

_AN ITALIAN SCHOOL-BOY'S JOURNAL._
By EDMONDO DE AMICIS. Translated from the 39th Italian Edition by Isabel
F. Hapgood.
12mo. $1.25.
In this delightful volume, so unconventional in form, so fresh and
energetic in style, Signor de Amicis has given not only the heart
history of an Italian lad but also a very vivid and attractive picture
of modern life in Italy. He is a genuine boy who is supposed to write
the story, and all the events, incidents, and observations are seen
through a boy's bright young eyes. The descriptions of school
experiences, of festivals and public ceremonies, of scenes in city and
country, are all full of color and charm, and are inspired by a genuine
love for humanity.
