“Professor Harper has the distinction of writing the first book on Sainte-Beuve in English. He gives evidence of long and careful study of Sainte-Beuve himself, and of most that has been written about him, but should have reserved space for a more systematic discussion of Sainte-Beuve’s ideas and his place in criticism. As it is, his work strikes one as a rather loosely written biography, mainly devoted to Sainte-Beuve’s youth, or at least to the period before 1848.” Irving Babbitt.

“Prof. Harper has done extremely well a work of much difficulty and real importance.”

“It was not easy to draw Sainte-Beuve’s portrait: nor was it easy to analyze this special quality and to bring into clear light his method. All these three things Professor Harper has done with patience, sagacity, and scrupulous integrity of attitude.

=Harris, Frank.= The bomb. $1.50. Kennerley.

9–4963.

The story, a history in the most important particulars, of Rudolph Schnaubelt who “threw the bomb that killed eight policemen and wounded sixty in Chicago in 1886.” He is a young German of fair education, who leaves Munich for New York, experiences a round of embittering hardships, drifts to Chicago, and comes under the influence of Lingg the Anarchist. The story moves on to a dramatic close in the anarchist plot, the escape of the bomb thrower, and the trial and execution of Lingg and his accomplices.

* * * * *

“We find in ‘The bomb’ a love-story, to us unpleasant, and not redeemed by its truth to life—given the simplicity of the hero. The woman does not convince us, and the old maxim still holds good: ‘Tout ce qui est vrai n’est pas bon à dire.’”

− =Ath.= 1908, 2: 641. N. 21. 450w.

“The theme is plausible, but in its fictional expression it breaks down in some places and moves clumsily in others, apparently because Mr. Harris has not the story-telling gift in the first place, and, in the second, writes fiction with a prentice hand.”

− =N. Y. Times.= 14: 118. F. 27, ’09. 500w.

“Altogether, the book is a thoroughly fine piece of work, worthy of the creator of Conklin.”

=Harris, Frank.=^{[12]} Man Shakespeare and his tragic life-story.
*$2.50. Kennerley.

9–28298.

An analytic study of Shakespeare, the man, in which the author finds the full length portrait of the great dramatist in each of twenty dramas. Aside from building up the essential outlines of Shakespeare’s character there is also shown “Shakespeare as he was with his imperial intellect and small snobberies, his great vices and paltry self-deceptions, his sweet gentleness and long martyrdom.... Thanks to this book, we now know Shakespeare in his habit as he lived; we know him in his love and jealousy and despair; and we are fain to admit with Mr. Harris that Shakespeare’s suffering and wreck are symbolical of the fate of genius everywhere and at all times. His life story is therefore of enduring interest: in its own way a world-tragedy.”

* * * * *

“A remarkable book, ingeniously conceived, and based on a comprehensive knowledge of the bard’s works. It will interest lovers and students of Shakespeare, and prove of benefit to them, whatever the conclusion to which it may lead them.”

+ =Ind.= 67: 1137. N. 18, ’09. 300w.

“This is the book for which we have waited a lifetime. We know this now that it is come: and we mark the day of its publication as a red-letter day in the history of literature. We have had Shakespeare the dramatist. Our libraries are filled with his bloodless monuments. Now we want Shakespeare the poet, Shakespeare the lover, Shakespeare the sweet-hearted singer, as he lived and suffered and enjoyed. And this is what Mr. Frank Harris gives us in his book.” Temple Scott.

+ + =N. Y. Times.= 14: 685. N. 6, ’09. 3800w.

“Nobody who cares for fine literature, however indifferent he may be to Mr. Harris’ main thesis, should pass the book by. As a thesis, we call it a brilliant and fascinating tour de force. As a book concerned with the greatest poetry, we assign to it critical merit of the first order. In both aspects we predict for it a permanent importance.”

9–3878.

A charming story of little Adelaide, suddenly orphaned, who with her imaginary playmate Cally-Lou goes to live in a crabbed uncle’s home. There is a “Silas Marner” touch to the tale with its softening little-child influence.

“Slight, uneventful and disconnected, but full of the author’s characteristic charm and humor.”

9–8804.

There is “carefully set forth, with the accompaniment of many excellent half-tone photographs an account of the writer’s exploration of the northern section of Alaska and the neighboring islands of the Arctic Ocean in the period from July, 1905, to September, ^{[1907]}.... It is the story of a practical man, full of detailed and painstaking observation, and it is gratifying to read with respect to his polar aspirations that the author now believes the great project of arctic travelers to be wholly feasible.”—N. Y. Times.

* * * * *

“The account of his adventures makes pleasant reading. We consider Mr. Harrison’s scheme visionary.”

+ − =Ath.= 1909, 1: 439. Ap. 10. 900w.

“His story of his two years’ wanderings, while neither very exciting nor particularly novel, is full of interesting details of a country all but unknown.”

+ =N. Y. Times.= 13: 754. D. 5, ’08. 220w.

“The book is not one of the most readable, perhaps because it shows no grasp of a definite problem nor any strong purpose to carry out his plan of Arctic exploration, perhaps because of the numerous Latin tags and the irritating frequency of allusions to characters in Dickens who would have been much surprised to find themselves introduced into a volume of Polar travel.”

A group of imaginative stories based upon Bible legends.

* * * * *

“A little too much emphasis is placed upon the moral of each tale; otherwise Edith Ogden Harrison’s attempt to treat biblical material purely as legendary of earth and sky is by no means deprived of keen feeling.” M. J. Moses.

9–19190.

Two stories the first of which, “Out in the open,” tells of a young member of parliament’s wooing of an actress whose refusal of him results in his taking her in his arms and nearly crushing the breath out of her; the second “Miserere nobis,” told in the form of a dying man’s confession to a priest, deals with a young Italian’s misguided vengeance for fancied wrong and the later remorse that led to taking his own life.

“Lucas Malet is a dramatist and a preacher. She is a dramatist in two senses—she has an eye for stage effects and for dramatic ‘lifts.’ But nothing would save the book from being more than a brilliant monolog if it were not for the ‘lifts.’ However, Lucas Malet is important to us now as a preacher.”

=Hartt, Rollin Lynde.=^{[6]} People at play: excursions in the humor

9–15055.

A shrewd, genial, sociological study of “people at play” made by an essayist and journalist. His excursions into the realms of popular hilarity have been supplemented by extensive literature on the subject; his attitude is that of the student of comparative ethics. His observations cover the home of burlesque, the amusement park, the dime museum, melodrama, “the world in motion,” “the muses in the back street,” base ball, etc.

* * * * *

“The author’s thorough understanding of his subject gives the book a decided sociological value, and his humor and wholesome geniality make it good for general reading.”

labourer; tr. by Ruth Kenyon. *7s. 6d. King, P. S., & son, London.

9–7840.

This translation “has given the author an opportunity to revise his volume and make some additions. New emphasis is laid on the process by which the agricultural laborer obtained his freedom, and the chapter dealing with that topic has been enlarged and rewritten in the light of the latest research. There has been added a brief chapter covering the comparatively uneventful period from 1894, when the first edition appeared, to the present time. The author’s final conclusion is that the reorganization of English agriculture should, in the main, take the form of a great multiplication of small peasant holdings.”—J. Pol. Econ.

“While the agricultural laborer is the central figure in this book, the telling of the story of this one class involves the writing of the history of the growth of all three classes and their interrelations. This task has been admirably performed by the author.” H. C. Taylor.

A volume belonging to the “Makers of national history,” a series treating of “important men whose share in the making of national history seems to need a more complete record than it has received.” The book deals pro and con with Castlereagh’s fitness for his management of England’s military affairs at the most critical moment of her existence.

* * * * *

“On the main issues the writer does not add to the fruits of the researches already undertaken by Sir James Stephen and other vindicators of Hastings’s fame, and indeed his eulogy of ‘the greatest man of our race’ is marked rather by piety and enthusiasm than by any subtlety of thought or judgment. Nevertheless the book is handy and useful, and some of its personal information is curious and new.” G. B. H.

+ − =Eng. Hist. R.= 24: 621. Jl. ’09. 250w.

“This is a notable volume and should meet a hearty welcome. It is the first and only popular Bible dictionary in which modern methods of interpretation prevail throughout. Furthermore, every article is accompanied by the name of the author. The amount of matter in the volume is astonishingly large, a fact due to economy of space and to the use of a rather small type.” (Bib.

“The text is slightly vitiated by careless proofreading. In the balance of articles according to intrinsic worth, in fairness, thoroughness and lucidity of treatment, and, despite faults that cannot be overlooked, in general usability, this dictionary meets a genuine need of lay students and Christian workers, will be of positive use to the general pastor, and not without interest and suggestion to the biblical scholar.” R.

“The ‘Hastings’ volume presents a much larger amount of subject-matter than the ‘Standard Bible dictionary.’ It has a type so small as to constitute a serious objection in a popular book.

“If one were inclined to be exacting, one would find, I think, that the article on ‘Apologetics’ is not quite adequate, being a bit antiquated in form, as well as misguided in emphasis, to say nothing of its assuming so many things as proofs which themselves require to be proved.
