His narration has since been printed privately as one of the "Club Papers," and forms, it is believed, the first account in English of the mysterious career of this personage: A King of France unnamed in History (pp. 86). Several documents are given in appendixes, and there is an excellent facsimile of "Rienzi's Charte," giving the testimony of Cola di Rienzo as to the pretensions of Giannino.

F. X. Kraus's Cavour. Erhebung Italiens (Mainz, 1902) has already been put into Italian, by D. Valbusa: Cavour. Il Risorgimento d'Italia nel Secolo Decimonono (Mainz, 1902, pp. 101). This early translation must be recognized as a work of propaganda for liberal Catholicism in Italy, as well as a tribute to the actual merit of the publication. The volume is not a biography in the strict sense of the word, but a study upon the Italian “ Risorgimento," taking the life of Cavour as the center about which to group its statements of fact and its appreciations. In general it is favorable to the work of Cavour and to the national movement, and it boldly condemns the temporal power, depicting its history in unmistakably somber colors. This performance by a Catholic of Kraus's importance has aroused wide interest and comment. A brief bibliography is appended in both the original and the translation.
