Russell, A. P. Sub-colum: a sky-built human world. Bost., Houghton, Mifflin & Co., 1893. 3-267 p. D. cl., $1.25.

A picture of an ideal society, a Utopia, which is neither visionary nor fantastic. The ideal society has become gradually what it is, not by legislation nor by mere improvement in modes of living, but by individual development of intellect and heart, guided and promoted by the controlling influences of the community. The highest regard is shown not to wealth but to goodness, not to material success but to brotherly kindness and unselfish devotion to the common weal. Education is very thorough but eminently practical, and the universities have professors of common sense. Physicians, lawyers and ministers work in harmony to repress all that is ignoble and to foster every capacity and impulse for excellence. Cooks rank among savants, and both cooking and eating are fine arts. The religion of this community consists in a life of love, fruitful of those exalted graces which characterized the life of Christ.

While Walter Bulfinch was hunting plover's eggs in the marshes of North Lychford, he unearthed some ancient coins, a fragment of a golden cup, and an antique golden torque. Chris Chrediton, a cousin of Walter, who was digging in the Black Mead of South Lychford, discovers about the same time some coins, which were believed by archaeologists to date from the time of the Saxon kings. These incidents in the lives of Walter and Chris influence them to different courses of action, and are the means of bringing about the changes described in a story which tells also of the final disposition of the treasures.
