Canada, Mexico, the West Indies, Central and South America. Each entry
commences with the official name of the society or institution, its
postal address, and the name of the official, if any, to whom
communications should be addressed. Notes of its history are given,
including dates of foundation and incorporation and changes of name
and organisation, and if it possesses a library the number of volumes
is stated; its object; time and place of meeting; number of members
and fees; the exact titles of its publications and any special
publications; the mode of distribution of publications; and a
statement of research funds and prizes.” (Nature.)

such libraries and art galleries as publish real contributions to

omission of medical and agricultural societies and institutions, and
of civic leagues must also be regarded as a serious drawback. Within

“Although here and there the essay has a more controversial air,

The fact that Gilbert Neal for a third time mortgages everything he
possesses to keep a lawless, worthless brother from the penitentiary
plays small part in this tale except to show the qualities of the
young hero’s character. The serious work of the author is the
portrayal of the three characters in a fatal triangle and the
relations of the hero to each. One of the three, the long suffering
wife of a dissolute minister, is the hero’s good angel, who teaches
him moderation by saving him from the rash acts of hot headed
chivalry.

modern American life, novelized from the play by John W. Harding.
†$1.50. Dillingham.

8–16949.

The novelization of a popular play of the season. It is a story of
married life in which a whining, weak-willed husband takes to blaming
capital, his employer, and his own loyal wife for the ill success
which follows in the wake of his anarchism. He becomes a defaulter,
thrusts his wife, at the sacrifice of her womanhood, between him and
the prison walls which loom up before him. She pays in full her debt
of obligation to him by begging his employer, of doubtful morals, for
mercy. In the dénouement, the hard hand of the capitalist puts on the
velvet glove; Jimsy, the faithful friend, proves his allegiance, but
the husband pursues the way of the lost soul to the suicide’s grave.

“Mr. Hare not merely epitomizes Castiglione’s ‘Cortegiano’ itself, but
gives a discursive account of the author’s life and of the stirring
events which he saw. Castiglione’s biography was well worth presenting
in this fashion, and ‘The courtier’ is always in order. The contacts
which such a man has with the great ones of his age, furnish a better
insight into the human side of the renaissance than we often get when
our attention is primarily directed to Alexander VI, or Julius II, or
to the ambitious princes who competed for secular prizes.”—Nation.

W7–182.

A biography whose material has been supplied chiefly by Louis’s
“lettres missives” and “pieces justificatives.” “The two great
figures, Louis of France and Charles of Burgundy, sometimes grotesque
and sometimes terrible, move against a background of civil wars,
desperate sieges, inhuman horrors without end. England with its Wars
of the roses is closely connected with France and French politics
through the unlucky Queen Margaret. Further off in the picture is the
always welcome and delightful presence of her father, the good King
René, happy and beloved through all contemporary storms.” (Spec.)

than Mark, for it shows no Pauline influence.”—Bib. World.

“Harnack’s ‘contribution’ is the most thorough that has yet appeared;

The fourth volume in a series of the author’s essays based on “one
coherent scheme of thought—a positivist synthesis—a reorganization of
life, at once intellectual, moral, and social, by faith in our common
humanity.” This group includes social and political subjects dealing
with the relations of England and France, the future of woman,
marriage laws, use of Sunday, prohibition, the church, parliamentary
reform, etc.; and, under the subject of literature and art, discusses
the revival of the drama, decadence in modern art, and concludes with

progression. The factors of geographic environment, of race and

A sketch of a reconstructed society. Geyserland is conceived to be a
ring-shaped island within the Arctic circle. The inhabitants are a
fragment from a wreck of antediluvian cultured people. It is the chief
aim of this volume to show how the laws of altruistic Geyserland make
the customs, dogmas and restraints of present society seem artificial
and futile. In the author’s scheme there is no family life, marriage
is regulated by the state, the state owns everything and awards
everything.

“It would be superfluous to condemn the ideas set forth, for the book
is its own best condemnation.”

authors.”

“The only criticism to be made is that there should have been given
more complete directions as to the methods of using the tables and a
more definite analysis of their mathematical deduction.”

=Haupt, Paul.= Book of Nahum; a new metrical translation; with an
introd., restoration of the Hebrew text, and explanatory and
critical notes. *50c. Johns Hopkins.

“Dr. Haupt has the courage of his investigations, and uses all his
scholarship to revise the Hebrew text and assign its portions to
various periods of Hebrew history. He holds that Nahum is a liturgical
compilation in honor of the glorious victory of Judas Maccabaeus over
Nicanor in 161 B. C. There are, he says, four poems, of which the two
last are taken from much older poems written by one who saw the fall
of Nineveh in 606 B. C., while the two first are of the Maccabean
period.”—Ind.

“It will be of value only to the special student, and that too not for
its main contentions, which are largely arbitrary, but for the
abundance of materials brought together, especially on lexicographical
and archaeological topics.”

“Explanatory and critical notes string together much curious and not
always strictly pertinent learning. The positiveness of these
divinatory pronouncements is equalled only by the arbitrariness of the
critical procedure.”
