And instead of that corps effecting a junction at Robertson's tavern, they remained halted at a point three or four miles distant from that tavern, where they were attacked in thee meantime the second column, under the command of Major General Warren, consisting of only one corps which had reached Robertson's tavern, was not allowed by me to advance and attack the enemy until communication was opened with the right column, ws not until late at night that this communication was opened, and that I was enabled to make any movement in advance of Robertson's tavern. The consequence was, that the next morning, when we did advance, there was no enemy in our front. They had

our ability to maintain ourselves, when, as he says, the rebels partially broke our line on the afternoon of July 2. During the campaign of Gettysburg, Captain J. M. Robertson, Second U. S. Artillery (now Bvt. Brig. Gen. U. S. A.), was in command of the First Brigade of Horse Artillery, attached to the Cavalry Corps, and therefothe Baltimore Pike and encamped for the night. Hearing that some such movement had taken place, but not knowing by whose orders, I some years ago wrote to General Robertson for an account of the movement, and under what circumstances it came to be made. In reply, he said that on the evening of the 2d July, just at sunset, he had his reserve batteries feeding in a meadow on the banks of Rock Creek, when an officer rode furiously up to him. General Robertson continues: As soon as he was near enough to be heard, he said in a very excited manner, so that all the men heard him: General Pleasonton directs that you at once move your batteries across Stony [R

Robertson, New essays towards a critical method, p. 117. His most distinctive gifts as critic were clearness of intellect and a faculty for analysis. Few Americansand incondite or mere verses, or both. It has been justly said that there is almost no poet between whose best and worst verse there is a wider disparity. J. M. Robertson, New essays, p. 76. His range, too, is narrower than that of any other American poet of front rank. Consistently with one of his theories already adverted tothe most judicious of his critics to constitute his chief claim to our attention. E. C. Stedman in the Stedman-Woodberry edition of Poe, Vol. x, p. XIII; and Robertson,l.c., p. 75.

would fill the whole field adequately. There was a division of labour, again lucky, as Prescott's biography would have been a meagre substitute for the glowing partisan book. Count d'haussonville ranks the incomplete Philip II as Prescott's best work. That is a dictum hard to accept. The author's attitude towards his central figure is less slashing than Motley's, less appreciative than Martin Hume's. In so much it may be called just, but there is a certain meagreness in the treatment. Robertson seems to have affected his style, although his work on that author's Charles V was not done until two volumes of Philip II had seen the light in 1855. Between Peru and Philip II Prescott made a journey to England, where he was wonderfully received and feted during his four months visit. Oxford gave him a doctorate. In 1845 the French Institute and the Royal Society of Berlin, and in 1847 two learned societies of England, had made him a member, so that his status as a scholar was perf
