Chapter XXIX: Part 2: , Three Boston object lessons in taxation; Part 3, Private (9)

Text size

“In this book the author has discussed a minor topic of international law, fully, fairly and ably. It is the only treatise in English exclusively upon this subject. Except to a person somewhat prejudiced against the entire practice of pacific blockade, Mr. Hogan’s fairminded, moderate statement of the case for it may seem very nearly convincing. Yet there are certain objections. To allow absolutely unrestricted traffic through the lines of a pacific blockade to all ships of third states would in most cases make the blockade so ineffective as to be valueless. It is a pity that the author is not clearer, is not less inconsistent, on this point, for it is the crux of the whole matter.” T. S. Woolsey.

“A summary of all that Mr. Hogarth and “his brother archaeologists have to tell us about the rise of that splendid civilization with which the history of the Hellenic world begins.” (Eng. Hist. R.) His main contentions are that in Ittica the population before the migration to Asia Minor was mainly Aegean mixed with a Danubian element; that the Hittite civilization strongly influenced Hellenic culture in Ionia; and that the Phoenicians played a small part in the development of Greek civilization.”

“Mr. Hogarth has done more than sift historical data from vain imaginings; he has not only collected the evidence, but has also elicited from it all that it can prove, presenting his results with a brevity, a completeness and a lucidity in startling contrast to the manner of almost every other worker in the same field. In conclusion, attention should also be called to the fact that the book is incidentally a mine of information as to recent archaeological discoveries in the East, and contains several important and interesting discussions.” W. A. Galigher.

=Hogle, William M.=^{[7]} Internal combustion engines: a reference

9–11276.

“The book opens with a description of the usual cycles and some practical comparisons. It then takes up practical details of operation, starting devices, carburetters and vaporizers, producers, fuels and combustion, engine compression and the indicator card. These matters are arranged rather inconsequentially and take up half of the book. The chapters on design follow, and last there are descriptions of governing devices, ignition, engine testing, report of tests and various miscellaneous tables. It is not a reference book, nor is it a book for students, as it does not take up even the elementary theory. It is rather a book for a person with practical experience and no technical training.”—Engin. N.

* * * * *

“The only part of his book which can in any sense be regarded as a reference book is that part relating to design. It is pretty obvious at once that the author does not know what has been published in the field of gas-engine design or else has not seen fit to take advantage of such publication. It is not without practical value; its greatest fault is in describing itself as something that it certainly is not.” L. S. Marks.

“Mr. Holland in this short compilation aims to codify such usages as have by general acceptance become recognized as binding on civilized nations in time of war. Even now after the declaration of the Hague conference of 1907 it must be admitted that there are many important points upon which no declaration has as yet been made. The Hague declarations are made the groundwork about which the discussions of less generally accepted practices are grouped. There are valuable cross-references to the chief authorities.

9–22027.

Gives a full description of the manufacture and properties of the various lead and zinc pigments. It traces the history of the paint manufacture in the United States, describes the four processes by which white lead is made. “Sublimed lead (sulphate), zinc-lead and lead oxides are described; lead-poisoning is fully discussed; European practice has a chapter; white zinc and the various ways to make it, and lithopone, are given about fifty pages; and finally about eighty pages are devoted to grinding, painting tests, and physical and chemical examination of both pigments and mixed paints.... Scattered through the book everywhere are found remarks on technical and disputed points of much interest.” (Engin. N.)

+ =Engin. N.= 62: sup. 27. S. 16, ’09. 1000w.

“This work is admirably written, well arranged, and excellently gotten out, with profuse illustrations. The general criticism of it is that Dr. Holley too often gives new conclusions as if they were facts without giving the facts on which these conclusions are based.”

=Hollis, Alfred Claud.=^{[8]} The Nandi: their language and folk-lore.
*$5.25. Oxford.

9–14599.

A companion volume to the author’s work on “The Masai” in which he deals with an allied tribe. “The Nandi, for some time one of the most troublesome elements in the Uganda Protectorate, has now been taught a respect for order, and Mr. Hollis anticipates a more prosperous future for them. They seem to occupy an intellectual level which gives at least some of response to a wise and considerate treatment. Mr. Hollis’s volume contains a sketch of the history of the people and of their customs, social and religious. Then we have specimens of their folk-lore, and finally a grammar and vocabulary.” (Spec.)

“Except in Mr. Hollis’s previous work on the Masai, the student has never before, we think, been furnished with the materials for acquiring so thorough a knowledge of the language of an East African tribe.”

=Holman, Henry.=^{[6]} Pestalozzi: an account of his life and work.
*$1.10. Longmans.

E8–706.

A work for the general reader as well as for the student of pedagogy which summarizes the foundation principles of the great educational reformer and discusses the causes of his failure. “In Mr. Holman’s judgment Pestalozzi was ‘one of the world’s greatest benefactors,’ and yet, as one who knew him well observed, ‘in spite of his grand ideal, which comprehended the whole human race, he did not possess the ability and skill requisite for conducting the smallest village school.’” (Spec.)

+ =Nation.= 88: 412. Ap. 22, ’09. 60w.

=Holmes, Charles John.=^{[9]} Notes on the science of picture-making.
*$3. Appleton.

A book for “students of art, professional workers and amateur enquirers into æsthetic questions.... The special merit of the book is that it makes no concessions to popular fallacies, but criticises impartially the art that is emptily conventional and that which aims at extravagant novelty: it wisely advocates originality and intelligent experiment as essentials for real artistic progress, but it demands that all good painting, whatever its subject or intention, should have as its foundation decorative qualities of the highest type.”—Int. Studio.

* * * * *

“Prof. Holmes has done a remarkable and original thing; he has applied common sense to the arts of design in an appropriate way. We may fairly add that since Reynold’s discourses the student has never had put before him such a fruitful and suggestive guide to his endeavours. Certainly no student of painting can afford to neglect the opportunity for improvement here offered.”

+ + − =Ath.= 1909, 1: 414. Ap. 3. 1200w.

“If the book is a little pedantic in manner, and suffers somewhat from the anxiety of the writer to explain and account for the endless varieties of artistic activity, these at any rate are only minor defects. The argument throughout is sane and temperate, inspired by sincere conviction, and presented without any of those affectations and obscurities which have been so often adopted by theorists on artistic practice.”

First hand knowledge of London’s underworld lies back of these “shrewd, practical studies of criminal psychology, of the individual and of the class, always looking toward the end of benefiting the criminal by reforming him or protecting society by treating him with needful wisdom.

A story of Ma and Pa Flickinger and their family, types of ordinary working people in every day life.

Poems steeped in Oriental atmosphere. The author “holds the gorgeous East in fee; and through her we hear our own dreams of it—of fierce joys and pains, a swarming vividness of life, a fate cruelly smiling, death-cries trodden under the feet of interminable generations and sultry fevers of desire. It is a new dream, intensely modern and a little unhealthy; but it has a tone and a colour of its own, and it will find its place in our literature and live there.” (Bookm.)

A womanly matron, happily married, who was dubbed a Subrikinque—meaning “a super-qualified chaperon, warranted by birth and by education to fulfil all the plenipotentiary duties, large and small, that might properly attach to the cult”—for a long season thrusts a matchmaker’s finger into the private affairs of Peter, well devoted to both husband and wife, and is punished for it by his carrying off her own Daphne. “It was not in my mind to marry off my own little daughter at eighteen.... I will buy me a muzzle if I cannot learn to hold my foolish, matrimony-praising tongue. No, I shall never be called Subrikinque again.”

9–12277.

A fearless, interesting handling of a hackneyed situation. When a liner goes down during a tempest in the Indian ocean a coal stoker rescues a New York heiress. They are cast upon an uninhabited island. This peril and the succeeding struggle for daily food level the differences between them while the refining influence of the young woman holds the man close to a high sense of honor. Rescued and carried home the girl returns to her luxurious life and the man to a day laborer’s work. Then fortune takes up the game, turns her wheel, and shows the hero to be the heir to his father’s English title and estates. This turn in the tide of his affairs gives the hero courage to woo the girl, but not until he had won her does he announce his changed fortune.
