+ =Dial.= 47: 235. O. 1, ’09. 270w.

“This volume is one of the best of its class, adequate, sane and helpful.”

+ =Ind.= 66: 1246. Je. 3, ’09. 160w.

“Mr. Lees is not a pictorial writer, and occasionally he trips up in his syntax, but he tells his story without affectation, and he strikes a fair balance between description and history.”

+ − =Nation.= 88: 628. Je. 24, ’09. 200w.

“A book that is in many respects more complete and more interesting than any of its predecessors. Its especial value consists in the fact that its author has had access to many châteaux now in the hands of private owners who permit no public invasion of them.”

+ =N. Y. Times.= 14: 387. Je. 19, ’09. 520w.

“He writes with knowledge, sometimes enthusiastically, at others critically. To those who contemplate a tour in this charming region his book is the best preparatory course they could have as a guide for the eye and mind.”

+ =Sat. R.= 107: 604. My. 8, ’09. 200w.

“There cannot be a better testimonial to the book’s merits than the fact that its pages are turned with interest, its illustrations studied with delight, by people of a foreign language, yet who are, after all, its most capable critics, under those very summer skies of beautiful Touraine.”

=Lees, George Robinson.=^{[5]} Witness of the wilderness, the Bedawin
of the desert: their origin, history, home life, strife, religion,
and superstitions in their relation to the Bible. $1.25. Longmans.

9–16832.

A work of apologetic, historical and archaeological importance which is based upon personal observation supplemented by the best contemporary authorities. “Mr. Lees’ main purpose is to draw attention to the resemblances between modern Arab life and the occasional glimpses which the Old Testament, and, less profusely, the Gospels, throw upon the character, morals, manners, and customs of these tribes. He also discusses briefly the nature and effects of Mahometanism; and tells us how far the Bedouin accepts its tenets and practices its code.” (Cath. World.)

* * * * *

“A charming little book.”

+ =Cath. World.= 89: 248. My. ’09. 460w.

“This book exhibits at least once a vice not easily forgiven, in a tendency to an allegorical interpretation which quite equals that of the ancient Alexandrian theologian Origen.” C: R. Gillett.

=Leete, Frederick De Land.=^{[6]} Every-day evangelism, personal,
trained, co-operative. $1. West. Meth. bk.

9–7953.

The evangelistic side of a pastor’s and layman’s everyday Christian mission is set forth practically in this volume. It sounds the individual note in the work of the world’s redemption and so emphasizes personal responsibility.

=Le Gallienne, Richard.=^{[12]} New poems. *$1.50. Lane.

Poems into which rare vision, deep insight, and symbolism enter so largely that it “is idle to measure these delicate, impalpable things with the yard stick of a cold and practical criticism, or to arraign Mr. Le Gallienne because he gives us too much fairy food and too little meat; the more surely he trusts his instinct as to what he shall give us, the truer artist he proves himself.” (N. Y. Times.)

* * * * *

“When all is said, however, these war songs, once read, will not allure again. It is a paradox that in a borrowed form, as that of Omar of Hafiz, Mr. Le Gallienne is able not only to move us with the spell of art but to express his own feeling far more convincingly than he expresses it in the group of love poems in the present volume. Here is everything but form, but the unaccountable something needed to crystalize passion into art. Once only, perhaps, does it enforce itself inevitably, in that strong, but-aloe-tinctured, sonnet, ‘I heard a liar say my love doth cease.’” J. B. Rittenhouse.

− + =N. Y. Times.= 14: 693. N. 6, ’09. 2200w.

“It is both easy and difficult to be severe with Mr. Le Gallienne. It is easy, because he can be so very irritating. It is difficult for much the same reason that it is difficult to be severe with a pretty child who is tiresome. His preciosity is often quite unendurable, yet his best effects lie so near to preciosity that it seems unreasonable to ask him to be less precious.”

Viennese opera, “Die lustige witwe,” as produced by Henry W. Savage.
†$1.50. Dillingham.

9–11258.

A novelization of the opera which of necessity omits something of the fun and frolic which have captivated large audiences.

“To those who are not familiar with the original it will appear merely a poorly written and illogical hodge-podge of sentimental romance and cheap humor.”

=Lenygon, Francis.=^{[10]} Decoration and furniture of English
mansions during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. *$10.
Scribner.

“An interesting account of the decorations and furniture assembled in No. 31, Old Burlington Street, by a firm with which the author is connected. The house was built by Lord Hervey in 1720, and passed into various hands. At present it appears to be the home of various admirable examples of English decoration and furniture. The book is divided into chapters dealing with the successive periods of furniture from that of the early English renaissance—tapestries, wood panelling, plaster ornamentation, paintings, damasks, gesso-work, carpets, and other matters. It is plentifully illustrated with handsome photographs, and contains a useful catalogue of reference books.”—Ath.

“Mr. Lenygon has a tasteful knowledge of his subject, and his treatise should prove serviceable to many amateurs and collectors.”

+ =Ath.= 1909, 2: 303. S. 11. 200w.

“The text imparts no small knowledge of the decorative work of the great architects whose genius for these lesser things is often overlooked, and also of the manufacture of tapestries, carpets, lacquer, mirrors, and other accessories.”

8–12816.

“A series of chapters, not only on the parts of speech, inflection, construction and similar topics but also on questions connected with the teaching and the general significance of the subject, such as the place of grammar in the school course and the like.”—Ind.

* * * * *

“Not complete enough for a treatise, but a helpful tool for ready reference.”

+ =A. L. A. Bkl.= 5: 17. Ja. ’09. ✠

=Lepelletier, Edmond.=^{[6]} Paul Verlaine: his life—his work; tr. by
E. M. Lang. *$3.50. Duffield.

A “life” written by Verlaine’s friend from boyhood. “M. Lepelletier maintains that Verlaine’s supposed extreme depravity was a legend created and encouraged by himself, the product of a poet’s imagination poisoned with alcohol and morbidly reacting against his real desires for good.... Verlaine’s extraordinary Bohemian life is told fully, sympathetically, and tenderly. Perhaps it is too apologetic on the whole, and with too much of the theory that genius excuses or condones vice.” (Sat. R.)

* * * * *

“The English version is fluent and agreeable to read, except for some obvious Gallicisms, necessary, ‘for the purpose of space,’ to abridge the original. The translator lacks education. The book would be more satisfactory, for the English reader at any rate, if it included a good selection of the fine verse which gave Verlaine a reputation in spite of his disorderly career.”

+ − =Ath.= 1909, 1: 558. My. 8. 250w.

“We take leave of our gifted, bad, sad, mad brother, thanking M. Lepelletier for his generous, loyal work, which will achieve its aim because it will probably be accepted as the standard on its subject, and the translater for an able and literary achievement of a by no means easy task.”

+ =Ind.= 67: 1138. N. 18, ’09. 270w.

“It is a valuable contribution to the history of French poetry. It contains, moreover, some vivid pictures of French literary society of an earlier day where many a figure now famous is pictured in their early years of struggle.”

9–6576.

“M. Gaston Leroux’s new tale of the detective cleverness of Rouletabille presupposes familiarity with his earlier ‘Mystery of the yellow room.’ Same heroine, same villain, same hero, same detective, same admiring commentator. The new story begins where the old one left off, but the scene is shifted, and the criminal is more infernally clever than ever. The ‘dénouement’ taxes our credulity somewhat, but that does not matter, as we have the full benefit of the mystery and its intricacies nearly all the way.”—Ind.

+ =Nation.= 88: 282. Mr. 18, ’09. 200w.

“It is a cleverly contrived and, barring the tendency of the superhumanly ingenious young newspaper detective to relapse into absurd and semi-hysterical sentiment, well-written detective story.”

=Leroy-Beaulieu, Pierre Paul.= Collectivism: a study of some of the
leading social questions of the day; tr. and abridged by Sir Arthur
Clay. *$3. Dutton.

9–7580.

The translation and abridgment of a book that “has been regarded as the acutest and most searching analysis of the various communistic and socialistic schemes, and in particular, while allowing the waste inevitable under any exaggerated system of competition, it shows with remorseless logic the inability of collectivism to meet the laws of supply and demand in domestic exchange, and still more emphatically in foreign trade.”—Nation.

“While it is not a profound or sympathetic presentation of its subject it is nevertheless a virile, well written criticism, and one adapted to set to thinking any who would thoughtlessly abandon the advantages of our present form of economic organization.” H: R. Mussey.

+ =Ann. Am. Acad.= 34: 198. Jl. ’09. 350w.

“Making proper allowance for his bias, one may trust the descriptions and definitions of this writer as fairly representative.”

+ − =Dial.= 46: 301. My. 1, ’09. 90w.

“Sir Arthur Clay has done a good work well in abridging and translating ‘Collectivism.’ To those who talk loosely of socialism as at least a tendency in the right direction and as the necessary step of progress or evolution, the clear thinking and wide knowledge of Leroy-Beaulieu’s treatise may be strongly recommended. Such doubting minds will here meet with facts.”

+ =Nation.= 88: 361. Ap. 8, ’09. 180w.

A three part work dealing with the Temple of the Ephesian Diana, the Tomb of Mausolus and the Parthenon.

* * * * *

“It is difficult to see why the book was written, or rather published, at least in this form. The whole volume makes the impression of being in the form of rough notes on points that happen to have interested the writer, intended to be worked out properly later.

A little volume of refreshing, entertaining letters that perpetuate a real platonic friendship between a Nice Girl and a Youth. They write of “love and life and death; of dogs, of themselves, and one another; of mice and men and modern instances; of trifles light as air; of all that one does and hears in the course of a day’s work, and hands on because it means a laugh or tear; of all that goes to make people and their lives.”

“The present volume blends direct historical narrative with much imaginative detail. Mr. Murdock writes here on the basis of personal experience reinforced and amplified by documentary evidence. An introductory chapter describes Boston as it was on the eve of the great disaster.” (Nation.) The edition is limited to 500 copies.

+ =Nation.= 89: 332. O. 7. ’09. 180w.

“As fiction the letters are good, but the mind of their supposed writer is of a time twenty-five years later. ‘The’ Boston fire still lacks a historian at once accurate, comprehensive, and entertaining. Unless he can be as entertaining as Mr. Murdock he may as well refrain from writing and allow ’1872’ to become the accepted chronicle.”

=Letts, W. M.=^{[8]} Diana dethroned. †$1.50. Lane.

9–35848.

“A story of two families—English country families—and a picture of English country life and the people who move in it. The central figure is a healthy kind of Diana, indeed, and the central male figure—Robin, of the other house, with whom she is in love—is a masterly etching of the negatively virtuous type—the type that so appeals to a maternal woman and brings her so much sorrow by its childish weaknesses.”—N. Y. Times.

* * * * *

“Story of the transformation of a girl, ‘half vestal, half schoolboy,’ who responds only to the moods of nature, into a woman who accepts her heritage of love, pity and self-sacrifice. The charm of the story lies not so much in its character analysis as in its appreciation of English outdoor life.”

+ =A. L. A. Bkl.= 6: 91. N. ’09.

“Its integral charm resides in the quiet artistry of the telling, and the consistently gracious atmosphere in which it moves.”

+ − =Ath.= 1909, 2: 64. Jl. 17. 130w.

“Glints of wit and humor are not lacking. A little worldliness invades the pastoral. Wisdom and even piety have their say in wholly unaffected fashion. The threads of the tissue are drawn together just a little loosely, but the interest does not die out.”

+ =Nation.= 89: 122. Ag. 5, ’09. 320w.

“A substantial piece of work, and it is well done.”

story of the Hoosier state from the romantic period of foreign
exploration and dominion through pioneer days, stirring war times,
and periods of peaceful progress, to the present time. **$3. Putnam.

9–5241.

A brief account of what is “most memorable, striking, and picturesque in the past and present-day history of Indiana.” It includes the various phases of development of the commonwealth—the foreign dominion on the Wabash, the plain tale of early settlers, Indiana’s salient part in war, the development of her natural resources and the position that she has come to assume among the states in provisions for education, and the enactment of liberal laws.

“While in general Mrs. Levering only retells a well-known story, her narrative notes a number of matters which, if ever mentioned, have been forgotten or not sufficiently recognized.”

+ =Nation.= 88: 581. Je. 10, ’09. 1000w.

“Her treatment of the development of the Hoosier state and her study of the pioneer period are upon such broad lines that they will be of value to all for whom the titanic struggles that have made a nation out of a wilderness are matters of interest. It is true she is guilty of too many adjectives, and her constructions are often slovenly. In her account of the immigration, moreover, she has failed to give that complete picture of the development of the state which seems to have been her intention.”

9–18567.

Written by a noted amateur woman motorist this volume “contains the results of her own practical experience, and is full of advice, written in a simple, chatty style, for women motorists, whether beginners or experts. She considers the questions of the cost of the car and its upkeep, the best ways of dressing, how to manage the mechanism of a car, gives practical instructions about driving, and about how to avoid and how to mend troubles, and devotes several chapters to motor manners, expenses of motoring and the growing popularity and usefulness of the small car.

Based upon a study of workingmen’s insurance and old-age pensions in continental Europe, this work discusses the desirability of state insurance, analyzes the most important laws now in operation, outlines the problems connected with it for our own country and offers suggestions for their solution.

* * * * *

“The book is argumentative rather than expository, is well written, popular and very readable. For the student Henderson’s ‘Industrial insurance’ is perhaps more valuable because of its greater wealth of material.”

“The author concludes in favor of state insurance, but his conclusions lack definiteness and directness.”

− =Ann. Am. Acad.= 34: 606. N. ’09. 280w.

“In general the author’s position is sound, although he is often visionary and impracticable. Moreover, he has undue reverence for the economy of the state and the honesty of its officials (p. 50). The work is somewhat discredited by what seems an unwarranted attack upon what the author calls existing institutions.” M. H. Robinson.

+ − =Econ. Bull.= 2: 161. Je. ’09. 550w.

“The book is intended for the public rather than the economist and does not pretend to be either a thorough or a scientific treatment of the subject. But it can well be recommended to the general reader who desires a clear, sympathetic, and sane statement of the reasons in favor of workingmen’s insurance—a subject about which a greater knowledge on the part of the public is much to be desired.”

+ =J. Pol. Econ.= 17: 650. N. ’09. 500w.

“Altogether, Mr. Lewis has made out a strong case. He does not strengthen it, however, by presenting mere estimates of outlay for poor relief (p. 20), when the census statistics are available; or by using rickety estimates of the distribution of wealth in the United States (p. 15); or by citing unreliable enthusiasts and sensationalists as authorities or ‘Competent observers.’”

“For the most part, the authors of the different papers have been content to rely on secondary sources for their information; and the majority of them betray a tendency to eulogize rather than to draw judicially impartial portraits. There is also noticeable in certain cases a cheerful disregard for the findings of modern historical research, with respect more particularly to pre-revolutionary conditions. But apart from these limitations and an occasional lapse into dullness, little fault is to be found. Some of the sketches, moreover, possess literary charm.”

“The arrangement of the material and the plan of the book are in general much the same as in other embryological treatises, and embody the conventional ideas regarding the presentation of the subject to students. An introduction, dealing briefly with certain of the general biological principles on which any study of embryology depends, prepares the way for the detailed consideration of the course of the developmental processes in the chick. The account begins with the formation of the egg, and follows this with the detailed description of the development of the embryo and its organs day by day up to the time of hatching of the chick.”—Dial.

“To attract any special attention, a book of this kind must be markedly superior to others in the same general category. This requirement is well fulfilled by Professor Lillie. The superiority of the present work lies rather in the manner of treatment than in the matter discussed.

=Lloyd, Alfred Henry.= Will to doubt: an essay in philosophy for the

8–13764.

“This book which ‘might be described as an introduction to philosophy,’ though it is ‘addressed quite as much to the general reader or rather to the general thinker, as to the prospective student of technical philosophy,’ is an attempt to show that ‘the contradictions, duplicity, and vacillation’ of the human experience, by preventing any ‘fatal digression’ from reality, enable us through our doubts ‘to believe in the very things we doubt’; and that ‘doubt is essential to real belief.’” (Int. J. Ethics.) “The largest portion of the book is given up to an examination, first of the ordinary, then of the scientific views, and the usual confusions and contradictions inherent in experience are set forth.” (Philos. R.)

* * * * *

“A masterly essay in philosophy written by one who is evidently thoroughly at home in philosophic thinking. He aims to appeal to the general reader as well as the student of philosophy, and there is a freshness and individuality about his style that is attractive; but the discussion is too fundamental and abstract, and the reasoning too close, and the philosophical view-point too new to allow the book to be of great value to any but the trained student.” W. C. Keirstead.

+ =Am. J. Theol.= 13: 314. Ap. ’09. 750w.

“Some assumptions, which play no unimportant part in the argument of the book, receive no satisfactory examination, and no reasons are given for supposing them to be true. This defect, coupled with a plentiful use of some unintelligible distinctions, and the lack of definition of the meaning, and consequently in the use of some words, make the book exceedingly obscure and unconvincing, and as ‘an introduction to philosophy’ practically worthless. So many of its assertions may mean so many different things.” A. R. Ainsworth.

− =Int. J. Ethics.= 19: 259. Ja. ’09. 400w.

“The whole book is interesting, and I confess to a pretty general sympathy with the doctrines expressed therein.

One of the lessons they convey to the intelligent reader is that the conditions in which the industrial classes of England are placed are full of peril to the country, and that the future of the country probably depends quite as much on what shall happen to its working people as upon any other influence to which it shall be subjected.” (N.
