A fully illustrated volume based upon extensive knowledge, wide

color and massing are as important to the gardener as to the artist.”
“Of course, it may be said that this is gardening in excelsis. Still,
it supplies an ideal; and we are the better for having an ideal,
whether we can reach it or not.” (Spec.)

8–8097.

A group of sponging artistic and literary freaks of Bohemia form the
background of this tale which places well to the fore the self-reliant
daughter of one of “The circle” and her lover, a sculptor, who
together strike some well-aimed blows at the lotus-eating elect of
their Bohemia. The crisp, refreshing methods of the eccentric heroine
in dealing with the butcher’s boy who kicked a cat, with her mother’s
finances, with the subject of model-posing, and with marriage itself
place her in an original class. The unconventional plot with its
tangle of marriages is full of novel construction.

but on the whole, recalling the dictum that easy writing makes hard

flowed lightly from a facile pen.”

Although no portion of Sir Hubert’s travels from Paris to Japan and
Manchuria is left unrecorded the interest centers in his impressions
of Japan and the scenes of the late war. “The greater part of the
volume, therefore, is devoted to an account of the Japanese
experiences. These included interviews with several noted men, among
others Admiral Togo and Marquis Ito. The government gave him
permission to go to Mukden and Port Arthur, the battles and siege of

Guide book haste is eliminated from these pages which are intended for

but little description—barely enough to keep before the reader’s eye a
vague vision of the appearance of the country, but he peoples every

the operation of the two economic principles of diminishing utility
and diminishing returns with some additional chapters on general
economic subjects such as money, financial institutions, international
trade, etc. The volume does not claim to be a general text-book on the
whole field of economics. Its aim is rather to reach the lay public

state economic science should be for the many, not for the few.’”—Ann.

the way to fame when he is tempted by Burr to join the latter in his
mad and treasonable enterprise of setting up an empire beyond the

“Mr. Johnston is a district officer and magistrate at Wei-hai-wei. The
journey he describes was a result of a long-felt desire to see the
various tribes subject to China which inhabit the wild regions of
Chinese Tibet and north-western Yunnan. He went neither as a sportsman
nor a political agent, but as a scholar—an adventurous scholar, which,
we may add, is a very admirable character. Boldness is generally
rewarded and Mr. Johnston met with no ill-treatment or even
discourtesy in districts supposed to be the most ‘anti-foreign’ in the

A book for every library. It is not alone valuable for its history of

illustration of the fact that inventing may be learned, if only the
creative germ is fostered that lies hidden in most brains. We have
Edison at fourteen a shock-headed “news butcher,” newspaper editor and
chemical experimenter—all on train-board; at eighteen, “tramp”
telegraph operator; at two and twenty an inventor, selling his
stock-ticker for forty thousand dollars. Then follow one after another
inventions that have astonished the world. Besides his scientific
successes, Edison, the man, is portrayed as intensely human.

=Keatinge, Maurice Walter.= Suggestion in education. *$1.75.
Macmillan.

A study in educational psychology, “We are shown the extreme forms of
suggestion and dissociation: then we pass to an examination of
suggestion in normal waking states. Next come the conditions,
preliminary and immediate, under which suggestion is affective. The
remaining four chapters, from the seventh to the twelfth deal with the
influence of suggestion in the formation of character.” (Dial.)

“Mr. Keatinge deals interestingly and simply with the psychology of
suggestion.”

“Very thorough and helpful. The writer has uncommon powers of
psychological description: his account of the subconscious, for
example, seems to us the best short description we have met (p. 143
ff). He has also in a high degree the art of making his exposition
vivid and interesting without being diffuse, by mingling just the
right proportions of the concrete and the didactic.” E: O. Sisson.

“A slight and rather clever novel. The pretty child might be
fascinating if the author had not made the fatal mistake of letting
her be vulgar.”

“The characters in this book are not puppets, yet they are scarcely
real. They are ideas in human form. Her people are conceptions rather
than creations. With these conceptions the novelist seems at times to
flirt vivaciously. The story is deftly arranged, but savors of
impossibility.”
