Chapter XI: Preface (11)

“It is to be hoped that the seductive volume may not fall into the
hands of any London-weary clerk who shall mistake its plausible
fictions for the gospel truth. A student of social problems, he has
things to say about the evils of city life and the advantage of
country life that are worth saying and worth reading.”

“Dr. Dawson’s account of his quest for a simpler and more satisfactory

=Day, Holman Francis.= Squire Phin. †$1.50. Barnes.

“Yet another story of Maine is ‘Squire Phin.’ His office was over Asa
Brickett’s village store, and there and thereunder goes forward the
chorus in this rustic melodrama. The protagonists, meanwhile, are
variously occupied in practicing law, making love, adjusting quarrels,
and preventing scandals, while over all is cast the limelight of
burlesque by the return to his native town of the showman ... with
chariots, parrot and elephant he shrieks and plunges and crashes
through the story till, tired of his unchartered freedom, he sinks
into the repose of wedlock.”—Nation.

“The dialect of this book touches deeper depths than even the usual
New England coast story. The incidents bear the same enlarged relation
as the dialect to the average village chronicle.”

=Deakin, Dorothea.= “Georgie.” †$1.50. Century.

Broad shouldered, blond, boyish, frankly engaging, and wholly sincere
in each passing fancy, Georgie succeeds in becoming engaged to any
number of nice girls, sometimes in quick succession and sometimes all
at once. The story of his loves is amusing and it is interesting to
see how one can be such a trifler and still remain a gentleman at
heart. As for Violet, pretty as paint, Druscilla, plain Anne, the
goddess girl, Phillida, Dolly and the little Puritan, their cause
needs no sympathy.

“But though belonging to the bubbles of bookmaking, the story is of an

=Decharme, Paul.= Euripides and the spirit of his dramas; tr. by James Loeb. **$3. Macmillan.

An introduction shows the need of an “able” attempt to reveal the true
Euripides. The author believes that both as a man and a poet he has
been underrated from Aristophanes down. Part 1 of Professor Decharme’s
discussion shows what were Euripides’ emancipatory views upon
religious traditions, philosophy, society and politics. Part 2 is a
critical study of Euripides’ dramatic art.

=Deeping, (George) Warwick.= Bess of the woods. †$1.50. Harper.

Bess, the courageous heroine of this stirring tale, has been brought
up as one of a rough band of English smugglers who quarrel over her
among themselves, but when one of them tries to win her by brute
force, there comes to her aid young Richard Jaffray, owner of a
near-by estate, who rescues her and is wounded in her defence. How
Bess is freed from Dan, and how Richard escapes from the toils of the
passé Miss Jilian, and how they both come to their own, forms the
substance of this story of brave deeds and social banter, of
ball-room, of forest and of sea.

=Deland, Ellen Douglas.= Little son of sunshine, a story for boys and girls. †$1.25. Harper.

Sunny little Christopher, an orphan with only one leg and a pair of
crutches upon which to begin his walk thru life, limps straights into
the hearts of a kindly farmer and his childless wife who have taken
the little waif into their home for a summer’s outing. At the end of
his holiday, which is made merry by his escapades with Betty who with
her aunt has come to board at the farm, he finds that two homes are
open to him and later discovers that General Keith, the rich, lonely
old man whose stern nature has melted before the sunshine of
Christopher’s nature, is really his own grandfather.

=Deland, Mrs. Margaret Wade (Campbell).= Awakening of Helena Richie. †$1.50. Harper.

Helena Richie’s soul awakening seems so natural and possible amid the
Old Chester people and Old Chester surroundings, with Dr. Lavendar at
his best, as philanthropist, philosopher and mentor. This woman has
violated the structural facts of the moral law. She is led by little
David, a homeless child whom she takes, to discover the great religion
of duty. As the light comes, her old standards seem the poor tottering
things they really are and she struggles for permanent defences. When
her life becomes known and Dr. Lavendar regards her unfit to keep
David, her submission to the law of retributive justice which operates
for a time then gives way, and her determination to make the remainder
of her life “clear and sound” but give evidence to the genuineness of
her awakened sincerity.

The tragedy is a toy tragedy merely because it deals with children,
and the things which make up their weal and woe, and it is a story of,
rather than for, children because the tale of the four orphaned little
folks and how they learned too early the harder side of human nature
and how to cope with it, is really a story for thoughtful grown ups.

a shadow over the story which the success of the two boys does not

This new edition of an old story enables a new generation to revel in
its dramatic scenes of love and mystery, in its graphic descriptions
of the search for a stolen treasure, and to follow the many tangled
threads of its plot to a happy ending. The cord of the title is one of
curious Eastern manufacture, the creese is a Malay dagger, and the two
form the principal clues in the search for the villain of this
stirring tale.

=De Morgan, William Frend.= Joseph Vance: an ill-written autobiography. †$1.50. Holt.

The autobiography of a middle-class Englishman of fifty years ago
which unites the characteristics of the novel with the interest of a
human document. The author turns analyst, and includes father, mother,
friends and self in a sketch that runs close to the heart. He follows
his boyhood days, and youth amid poverty, his Oxford days which
developed an inordinate love for chess as well as mechanical inventive
ability, and colors the latter happenings with his love for a woman
whom he does not marry. The life-story reflects much of middle-class
English thought and customs of fifty years ago.

literal and rigid terms of the Confession of faith, thereby forfeiting
its belongings of whatever sort to the insignificant minority who
still accent the Confession in its original bare, bald literalness.
This, with its manifold implications is the theme to which the
principal of St. Andrews addresses himself.”—Am. J. Theol.

“Principal Donaldson’s volume ought to awaken serious inquiry in the
minds of all Christians who are fettered by creed subscriptions, for
it all goes to show how unwise it is, and how dishonest and how
morally ruinous, to cling to an outworn creed and outwardly to
maintain religious tenets which the subscriber knows are no longer
tenable.” Eri B. Hulbert.

The stories here are about children but their lesson is entirely for
grown ups who have in their trust the developing child. The little
comedies as well as the heart tragedies of children grow pathetic when
there is no one near with whom to share them. It is to such a lonely
group of children that the author turns in her sketches. It is a book

“They are written, for the most part, with a delicate art, with a keen
sympathy for the needs of the childish heart, and a humorous
appreciation of the workings of the childish mind. The central theme

method of treatment.”
