“The book should be viewed as a clever piece of journalism, effective
but inaccurate. It has the earmarks of being scientific; it cites
references: it affects a certain restraint in statement. Yet the
critical reader will find its ‘citations’ ex parte, fragmentary,
undated for the most part. The book is a good example of skilled
juggling with half-truths. In short this book is not what it pretends
to be—the facts about the Nonpartisan league.” J. E. Boyle

=RUSSELL, MRS FRANCES THERESA (PEET).= Satire in the Victorian novel. *$2.50 Macmillan 823
20–2031
“The author of this book is a professor at Leland Stanford junior
university, and her interpretation of the satiric contributions to
literature, offered by novelists of the Victorian epoch, has literary
as well as scholastic value. Written primarily as a thesis, offered at
Columbia university for the degree of doctor of philosophy, the
author’s style bears necessarily unmistakable and potent signs of
academic standards. The volume is divided into Premises, Methods,
Objects and Conclusions. After giving to her readers the groundwork of
her scheme, making certain that they understand the satiric motive,
Professor Russell passes to the categorical stage in her exposition.
She analyzes methods of satire, romantic, realistic, ironic. For this
purpose she quotes from the writers of the period she is considering,
writers such as Samuel Butler, Thomas Love Peacock, Meredith,
Disraeli, Thackeray, Trollope and Dickens. She takes pains to show us
how much ingenuity these men display in their methods of satiric
attack and how their weapons vary, likewise their skill.”—Boston

“What will interest the un-academic mind particularly in this treatise
is the author’s personal contribution. She offers, sometimes with a
charming unconsciousness, her philosophy of living; and more than one

humorous hand did not die with the Victorians!” D. F. G.

“Miss Russell has undertaken her theme objectively, in the best
reportorial sense, and by sounding a number of disparate apostles—as
widely dissimilar as De Valera, George Russell, Countess Markiewiecz
and the Bishop of Killaloe—she manages to throw light upon all phases
of the problem. The book opens with a chapter on statistics, which
bring the present plight of the country into the foreground of the
reader’s imagination, and with this accomplished, the author turns to
the narration of incidents, and to the gleaning of opinions, which are
set down with impartial emphasis.”—Freeman

“She succeeds in rousing our sympathy for the poor working girls of
Dublin, and the other unfortunate people of the city and the

“The book is a unique autobiographical chronicle, told in the form of
a diary, of the struggles of its author-hero to make a home for
himself in the land of the snows. Hjalmar Rutzebeck, or Svend Norman,
as he calls himself in his book, was born and raised in Denmark. He
left school at the age of twelve and has had no further formal
schooling since then. We first meet our twentieth century viking in
Los Angeles, just after he had been honorably discharged from the
United States army. With winning naïveté he tells us how he has fallen
in love with Marian. When Svend learns that the northland is as dear
to Marian as it is to him, he immediately sets out to make a stake
there.... As Svend goes on from adventure to adventure he records them
in his diary, and it is this diary, mailed to Marian piecemeal as he
went along, that is reprinted in ‘Alaska man’s luck.’”—N Y Times

In reviewing the history of Irish labor in the seventeenth, eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries the author points out how the genius of the
Irish people was submerged and its spirit broken by the enforced
assimilation of a foreign social system, a foreign speech and a
foreign character. However cruel and inhuman English dominion has
proved itself to be, the struggle for freedom has been mental and
spiritual as well as economic. “The breaking of the chains, the
unloading of the degrading burdens that we know, will inevitably lead
to the resurrection and the flowering of the workers’ deeper natures,
now blunted and buried. Then they may be artists and creators.”

=SACKVILLE, MARGARET, lady.= Selected poems. *$2.50 Dutton 821
“Lady Margaret Sackville is a feminine version of the late Richard
Middleton. Her themes are the themes of Middleton—the gay seasons,
love and desire with their antithesis of crepuscular quiet, a selected
Greek mythology, and the vaguely idealistic ‘dreams’ of the
romantics.” (Ath) “She writes lyrics and short plays: her subjects are
largely Greek, and, so far as effects of brightness and directness, of
clear air and frank sunshine, are concerned, the atmosphere is Greek.”

=SADLER, MICHAEL.= Anchor. *$1.75 (2½c) McBride
The interest of the story centers about Laddie Macallister, an
over-sensitive, introspective young man whose self-questionings and
doubtings make him feel hopelessly adrift and unstable for all his
solid foundation of a clean and honest manhood. We meet him first as
newspaper correspondent for an English paper in Paris; later as
literary secretary for a radical London weekly. The anchor, the
“something-firm-to-cling-to” which he craves he finds in Janet Tring,
daughter of a country squire and a singularly well-poised,
straightforward bit of young womanhood. It is the character-drawing
rather than the plot that is significant in the story. Some of the
other characters that stand out are Laddie’s father, the country
parson, whose mellow wisdom and dependable love for his son are the
latter’s safe armor; Dermot Gill, the very odd, very lovable and very
radical Irishman, whose friendship Laddie picked up en route; Janet’s
cousin, the militant suffragette, proud of her prison record; and the
wily newspaper woman whose vindictive designs on Laddie rebound from
Janet’s good sense.

method is psychological, but not unduly so, and the story of the
partial love affairs which accompany his great love is done with some

In “the romantic adventures of a modern Don Quixote in the southern

times, some of the earliest “poetic babblings” of the children of
nature of the South Sea islands before, with the advent of the
missionary, “island mythology and heathen legends were sponged off the
map of existence.” He has attempted to see the mysteries of nature
with the eyes of the primitive man and, in retelling the legends of
some old Polynesian chiefs, to remain as faithful to primitive
conceptions as is possible to a sophisticated mind. The contents give
glimpses of the author’s own adventurous youth in following the call
of the “true poetry of life” and some of his island reminiscences in:
Fae Fae; The heathen’s garden of Eden; In old Fiji; Kasawayo and the
serpent; O Le Langi the pagan poet; An old Marquesan queen; Charity

Epics of the wild would truly characterize these tales of thrilling

history but stories of animals befitting their characters as men

wolverine—most hated of all the animals among themselves, with a
character “that came straight from the devil,” and with brains “that
only man, and no beast, ought to be trusted with”—and his ghoulish
escapades. The weak and the powerful, the four-footed and the winged
tribes, even the legless viper, engage our human sympathies for their
fears, their passions, their struggles and their wiles. Contents: Gulo

George Bubb Dodington was a prominent political and social figure in
the reigns of George I and George II on whom Lord Chesterfield
bestowed the sobriquet of “blest coxcomb,” on account of his supreme
conceit and ostentation, but who nevertheless had some compensating
qualities of sincerity, capacity for friendship, and courage. His
notorious diary has made him a historical figure and the present
account of his life is a picture of the England of his day. Contents:
Dodington’s ancestry; The youth of George Bubb; George Bubb,
plenipotentiary; The seizure of Sardinia; Dodington and Walpole;
Eastbury; A prince and a duke; From Walpole to Pelham; Frederick,
Prince of Wales; La Trappe; Henry Pelham; The duke of Newcastle;

“Casual references to Dodington abound in the political histories and

the Turks offered a strenuous resistance, the occupation of Kut, and
the fatal advance upon Baghdad which ended at Ctesiphon. He gives a
full narrative of the retreat, which was most skilfully conducted, and

freedom; The material of the new race; Two classes of women; The
wickedness of creating large families; Cries of despair; When should a
woman avoid having children? Birth control—a parents’ problem or
