=Harry, Myriam.= Conquest of Jerusalem. †$1.50. Turner, H. B.

“This story of modern Jerusalem is really a study of what is known as
the ‘artistic’ temperament worked out in a morbid fashion. Hélie’s
apostasy from the Roman Catholic religion upon his marriage with a
deaconess of a protestant church destroys eventually the religious
instinct in his nature. Many of the details of the novel are
revolting.”—Critic.

=Hart, Albert Bushnell=, ed. American nation: a history from original sources by associated scholars. 28v. per. v. *$2. Harper.

Group II of this series of histories, volumes 6–10, is devoted to the
“Transformation into a nation,” including Provincial America, by
Evarts Boutell Greene; France in America, by Reuben Gold Thwaites;
Preliminaries of the Revolution, by George Elliott Howard; The
American Revolution, by Claude Halstead Van Tyne; and The
confederation and the constitution, by Andrew Cunningham McLaughlin.
The first volume of Group III, which division includes volumes 11–15
and treats the “Development of the nation,” is a discussion of The
federalist system, by John Spencer Bassett. The author says, “On its
political side this volume treats of three principal facts; the
successful establishment of the government under the constitution, the
organization of the Republican party on the basis of popular
government, and the steady adherence of the government to a policy of
neutrality at a time when we were threatened with serious foreign
complications.” The author follows the program of establishing an
effective government while the nation faced a new constitution and
trying international situations.

Number twelve in this “American nation” series is a discussion of “The
Jeffersonian system” by Edward Channing. It “emphasizes the innate
tendency to expansion of territory, of which Louisiana, West Florida,
and Oregon were all examples. The special and successful purpose of
the author is to make clear how it was possible for the nation to
expand in territory and in spirit, and for the federal government to
gain consequence and authority, while at the same time the government
was growing more democratic: it is a study in imperial democracy.”

Number fourteen in this series is the “Rise of the new West” by
Frederick Jackson Turner of the University of Wisconsin. “Professor
Turner takes up the west as an integral part of the Union, with a
self-consciousness as lively as that of the east or south, with its
own aims and prejudices, but as a partner in the councils and the
benefits of the national government which, as a whole, it is the aim
at this volume to describe.” The period covered is that from 1815 to
1830. The panic of 1819, the Missouri compromise, The Monroe doctrine
in particular and the tariff disputes, internal improvements and
foreign trade relations in general are fully treated.

The fifteenth volume of “The American nation” series is Dr. William
McDonald’s discussion of “Jacksonian democracy.” The aggressive
personality of Andrew Jackson is made to dominate the solution of the
great questions of national policy paramount during the years 1829–37.
The study reveals the president and man, and shows the evolution of
the political principles upon which a new democratic party was
founded.

In volume seventeen the expansion movement which extended the
boundaries of the United States from the western edge of the Louisiana
purchase to the Pacific ocean, is described “in such a way as to
indicate the real forces which gave it impulse, and how they actually
worked, and especially to show how it was affected by, and how it
reacted upon, the contemporaneous sectionalizing movement which
finally ended in civil war.”

In volume 18 of “The American nation” Dr. Smith has covered the
subject of “Parties and slavery from 1850 to 1859,” that transition
period, which saw old party organization dissolve and new ones
crystalize. The aim of the volume is “to bring out the contrast
between the old parties and their aims and the new and imperious
issues.” The efforts to prevent the crisis which resulted in the Civil
war, and the rival habits of thought which made it inevitable are
clearly shown, the effects of the struggle upon parties, legislation
and the courts as well as the social and economic changes brought
about by railroad development and the growth of cotton are carefully
detailed.

“The first part of volume nineteen in the “American nation” series
discusses political divergences in the light of sectional rivalry and
mutual dislike revealed by the election of Lincoln to the presidency.
The author presents the full significance of the John Brown raid,
pictures the attitude of Buchanan and his unsuccessful attempts at
compromise. discusses the status of the federal forts, pays tribute to
the high minded attitude of Lincoln and closes with the fall of
Sumter.”

Sophy, an English girl of much spirit and no money goes to Kravonia to
seek her fortune and, by a strange chance, saves the life of the crown
prince who falls in love with her. The revolution which follows, the
struggle between the supporters of her prince and those of his
half-brother, and the part which Sophy, with the red star burning on
her cheek, took in it all is stirring reading. Altho, by another
chance of fate, she loses all she has gained, she carries with her
from Kravonia a lasting memory of some enemies and many friends, of
strife and conflict, of a crown won only to be lost, and of a great
undying love.

With a background of war between the French and Dutch of Von

Matthieu de Châtelfors and Huette de Richecour are betrothed at birth.
Huette develops into a plain, passionate, rather shrewish young woman
whom Matthieu delays marrying on one pretext and another. She is too
proud to insist and time drags on. With a promise to marry her on his
return, he leaves for the battle-field. There follows a romantic
meeting with a pretty peasant girl whose refusal of Matthieu’s love

=Hay, Marie.= German pompadour; being the true history of Wilhelmine von Gravenitz, landhofmeisterin of Wirtemberg: a veracious narrative of the eighteenth century, gleaned from old documents. *$3.50. Scribner.

“Wilhelmine von Gravenitz was one of the most fascinating women of the
eighteenth century. More passionate, and vastly more intelligent than
La Pompadour, her French rival in intrigue and gallantry, she was a
nobler type of woman, for she was really in love with Eberhard Ludwig,
the reigning Duke of Wirtemburg, and though she played his dull and
colorless wife many a cruel trick, and even attempted to assassinate
her, our sympathies in spite of ourselves are stirred rather in the
favour of the brilliant mistress than of the highly respectable but
phlegmatic wife. To depict the life of a woman of this class in a
lengthy narrative, without making her offensive, demands unusual
insight into human nature.”—Sat. R.

* * * * *

“Her compromise between history and fiction is maintained throughout;
she is always guiding herself by authentic facts, and her emotions are
regulated by the documents at her side. And here lies the defect of
the system. She cannot give her imagination free rein, and yet she may
indulge it to such an extent that the reader does not know when he is
reading history and when he is reading fiction. The ordinary reader
will question whether the record of Wilhelmine might not give off a
more pungent odour to other nostrils; and still more will he doubt
whether this vagrant air is potent enough to steep three hundred and
fifty odd pages with its fragrance. A magazine article or a sonnet
were the proper vessel for such sweetness.”

place the election of senators in the hands of the state legislature;
the form and spirit of the elections thus made, and the causes which
have led to the recent and pressing demand for popular control over
the choice of senators. It attempts also to forecast in some degree
the probable effectiveness of such popular control, whether exercised
under a loose construction of the present law, or in accordance with a
constitutional amendment making possible the election of senators by
direct popular vote.” Following the eleven chapters into which this

ever-present factors of the entire medieval period—the Papacy and the
Empire—fought out their differences on German soil and through German
personages.... This volume, which is excellently printed and provided
with indexes and notes, is also supplied with several maps and
bibliographical lists.” (R. of Rs.)

“Mr. Henderson’s book is not exhaustive. Full information on the

The book was manifestly intended to be a popular account of its

A late addition to the “Library of art.” The volume furnishes a short,
condensed life of the English landscape painter, “who, by virtue of a
naturalism that was unique in two respects—his ‘fearless adoption of
“unpicturesque” localities as subjects for his pictures, and his
practice of using fresh, bright color’—pointed out to his successors
‘the way to a new kingdom.’” (Ind.) Much of the material has been
drawn from C. R. Leslie’s “Life.” There are 38 half-tone reproductions
from the artist’s paintings, sketches and studies.
