M cBa‘irle 62: Co. , Anecdotes of famous men are usually pleasing to the average man; anecdotes oi? infamous men, pardoning . the pun, should be doubly so. A rare collection oi’ these are to he found in Charles J. Flnger’s book, “Romantic Rascals.” I Finger has made rather an ex— tensive study of the rogues of his- tory, and had a hard time to pick out but nine of the fifty possibili— ties. He has chosen men who have more rascality than honesty in their character, and who have appeal by virtue of their originality or their daring. ' The writing is simple; directness of style, flavored with a touch of the humorous, make the book easy and pleasant reading. The semi- .biographical style, which might tend to displease some, is easily offset by the quaint appeal of the subject matter. These men, picked by the author by lottery, surely have led lives that are so different from the routine, prosaic lives of most men that one cannot help being intrigued by the tale. One meets adventurers, pure and unrefined; thieves, notoriously evil, but with a code of honor; master takers, luring the public with their mystic “powers”; really, a host of men whose lives must stir up en— thusiasm in the most sluggish. England,' France, Arabia, Ice- land, and Patagonia are all con— tributors to this epic of rascality. Yet their deeds are such as to bring a whimsical smile to the face of anyone; audacity marks every ‘character. This book is in the Armour li— brary, and will be on the shelves very soon. A. B.
