Chapter XX: Preface (20)

“The author not only indulges in restrained criticism, but presents
the actions and interests of the artist in a vivid and chronological
manner.”

“The beautiful simplicity of Constable’s life and art are admirably
expressed in this book, and those who read it carefully will learn
much more than they have known before about the simple and homely but
great English master.” Walter Cranston Larned.

found elsewhere.”

“The present volume challenges comparison with Mr. Holmes’s excellent
biography published four years ago. Both biographers are notable for
clearness, vigor, and discrimination.”

=Henderson, Mary Foote.= Aristocracy of health. $1.50. Harper.

The author outlines the path royal for the would-be health
aristocrat,—the being who achieves strength, self-reliance, success,
influence long life, and happiness. The way lies close to physical
culture, abstinence from poisons, and dietetic care. The author views
the subject of human degeneracy from the standpoint of different
countries, and so leads up to her suggestion that a national and
international league be formed for the advancement of physical
culture.

“Laborious and enthusiastic volume.”

– =N. Y. Times.= 11: 659. O. 6, ’06. 480w.

“The material is thrown into popular form and although it could easily
be reduced in bulk, the book is readable. As an argument against the
use of stimulants, it carries weight; as a general philosophy of
living it has its limitations.”

+ – =Outlook.= 84: 428. O. 20, ’06. 430w.

=Henderson, T. F.= Mary, Queen of Scots: her environment and tragedy. *$6 Scribner.

A biography satisfactory for students because of its wealth of
footnotes and references. “To sum up, the presentation of Queen Mary
... is good and true to nature for the period in which she can be
observed in freedom, while she displayed to the world her great and
royal heart, facing her enemies in the field of battle, meeting
diplomatists in the council chamber, and discharging with grace and
gaiety the duties of hostess, or the functions of a queen, and Mr.
Henderson can make allowances for the strong temptations which led to
her fall. But in her long and cruel confinement he loses touch with
her. Without adequate conception of her rights, or of the part which
as a queen and a Catholic she should have played, he considers her now
as an actress, a devote, a mischief-maker. But her conduct at her
trial and execution again appeals to him and he concludes with a
fitting testimony to her great qualities.” (Acad.)

* * * * *

“Mr. Henderson’s volume is at least the fourth separate biography of
her which has appeared during this year alone. Of all these lives Mr.
Henderson’s is without doubt the best and most thorough. His
advantages over his rivals are many.” J. H. Pollen.

+ + – =Acad.= 69: 1351. D. 30, ’05. 1530w.

“His book is both a narrative biography and a critical study. The
value of the book lies chiefly in its clear presentation of general
conditions underlying the crises of Mary’s career and particularly of
the influence of foreign affairs upon their shaping and development.”
O. H. Richardson.

+ + =Am. Hist. R.= 11: 890. Jl. ’06. 860w.

“Some readers will be inclined to question not only the soundness of
many of Mr. Henderson’s criticisms, but also his presentation of some
of the facts. The book is vigorously written and displays much
critical acumen; but some of the phrases are rather inelegant, and one
or two savor of slang.”

+ – =Ath.= 1906, 1: 319. Mr. 17. 2030w.

“It is a pity that several mistakes have been allowed to creep into
the text, and that, in giving the date of the month, in nearly every
instance that date of the year has been omitted; also that the author
has permitted himself the use of so many unusual words.”

+ – =Critic.= 48: 472. My. ’06. 400w.

“He has brought together for the first time many facts that were
formerly to be sought only in scattered and more or less inaccessible
books or magazine articles, and he has added not a little entirely new
matter, important to a proper understanding of the life of Mary Stuart
and of those around her.” Lawrence J. Burpee.

+ – =Dial.= 41: 63. Ag. 1, ’06. 390w.

“His survey is thorough, extensive and precise, missing scarcely a
detail of the stormy and adventurous career.”

+ + =Lit. D.= 32: 917. Je. 16, ’06. 960w.

“Though we differ widely from Mr. Henderson on many points, his book
is a valuable contribution to the controversy, and it will be
indispensable to the student. The general reader will find it fresh
and clear and well-informed. We feel bound to add that it is to a
considerable extent spoiled by Mr. Henderson’s irritating habit of
correcting his predecessors on points of detail. Sometimes he is
right, but more often it seems to us, there is as much evidence for
their view as for his.”

+ + – =Lond. Times.= 4: 449. D. 15, ’05. 830w.

“His book not only claims to be free from prepossessions, but succeeds
much better than most works on Mary Stuart in preserving the mood of
objectivity.”

+ =Nation.= 82: 409. My. 17, ’06. 580w.

“Mr. Henderson may have Mary’s history at his fingers’ ends ... but he
has not succeeded in telling what he knows convincingly, or with
clearness or fullness. Mrs. MacCunn’s biography is not only far more
interesting, but it is fuller.”

– =N. Y. Times.= 11: 159. Mr. 17, ’06. 430w.

“His is a book for advanced students, and these will find it richly
informative.” H. Addington Bruce.

+ + – =Outlook.= 84: 279. S. 29, ’06. 2920w.

“We have mentioned points susceptible of improvement in the book, but
it will be very welcome to the relatively large public which studies

=Henderson, William James.= Art of the singer; practical hints about vocal technics and style. **$1.25. Scribner.

The results of twenty-five years of study are summed up for the
teacher, the student and the lover of singing. “Probably the best
thing in Mr. Henderson’s book, the ‘Art of the singer,’ is his defence
of that art. In reply to the declaration of an acquaintance that
singing is an artificial achievement, he says: ‘The truth is that
while speaking is nature, singing is nothing more than nature under
high cultivation.’” (Nation.)

“A real acquisition to the library.”

“While the book is to some extent technical, it is written in a clear,

=Henry, O., pseud. (Sydney Porter).= Four million. †$1. McClure.

“In the four million people of New York city their daily living and
working and playing, Mr. Henry has found the material for comedy, and
tragedy, for laughter and tears. With a few deft touches he weaves the
fabric of romance in East side tenements, Wall street brokers’ offices
or along Fifth avenue. His sketches—they are hardly stories—are
remarkable for their terseness, sympathy and humor, and for their deep
insight into the inner life of the great city.”—Pub. Opin.

=Hichens, Robert Smythe.= Call of the blood; il. by Orson Lowell. †$1.50. Harper.

An Englishman ten years younger than his “ugly though brilliantly
clever and intellectual” bride finds, under the sunny skies of Sicily
whence they go for their honeymoon, that he cannot resist the cry of
youth and beauty. The strain of Sicilian blood in his veins is
responsible for his aptitude in dancing the tarantella and for his
yielding to the quick call of love—dishonourable tho it be, and tragic
tho it prove.

* * * * *

“It is a full-blooded stirring story—a work which, if Mr. Hichens had
not written ‘The garden of Allah,’ we might hail as the greatest novel
of passion in the century.”

+ + =Acad.= 71: 266. S. 15, ’06. 150w.

time to tell a simple story.”

“So far as the matter of scene painting goes, ‘The call of the blood’
recalls the splendid richness of colour in ‘The garden of Allah’ while
in all other respects it serves only to emphasize the marked
superiority of the earlier volume.” Frederic Taber Cooper.

“Mr. Hichens, it seems, has committed the strategic crime of not
making his new novel even better than its predecessor. Yet ‘The call

“A phrase of the author’s states the subject matter of this book:
‘The problem has now shifted its ground from how to cure a man ...
in a hospital to the cure of a man in a sanitarium. The real problem
still remains; how to prevent a man in a home from acquiring
disease.’... It is now known that only through the exercise of the
faculty of mastication and insalivation can the stomach and
intestines perform their functions in a non-poison-producing way....
The real significance of this act has only recently been
demonstrated, and by an American, Mr. Horace Fletcher. The first
half of Dr. Higgins’s book is devoted to analysis and eulogy of Mr.
Fletcher’s theories.”—Outlook.

=Hildreth, Richard.= Japan as it was and is: a handbook of old Japan: a reprint, ed. and rev., with notes and additions by Ernest W. Clement; introd. by William Elliot Griffis. *$3. McClurg.

The material of the 1861 edition of Hildreth’s “Japan” has been
revised and reprinted with copious illustrations and adequate
editorial matter. The work is no less important now than when it first
appeared in 1855, for the fact that it is a compilation from all the
important European writings on Old Japan establishes its permanent
value. In the revision, the author has harmonized the spelling of
Japanese words with the modern system of Romanization, and has added
such other notes and explanations as might be necessary.

=Hildt, John C.= Early diplomatic negotiations of the United States with Russia. Johns Hopkins press.

This volume of the “Johns Hopkins university studies in historical and
political science” forms an introductory study of the relations of the
United States with Russia, and narrates “the history of the rise and
progress of the early diplomatic relations of the American government
to that country and the steps by which the negotiations were carried
forward.” The missions of Dana, Adams, and Pinckney, the question of
consular immunity, Spanish-American affairs, and the treaty of 1824
all receive careful consideration.

The author believes that in the vast amount of material on the life of
Abraham Lincoln too little can be found which sums up the great
President’s legal career. So this sketch starts with Lincoln’s
mythical birthright to the law, locates the real source of his
professional aspirations, follows him through his workshop
apprenticeship to his admission to the bar, and on, step by step, to
the presidency. The whole discussion particularizes the stages of
legal growth that is usually assumed in the presentation of Lincoln
the statesman.

A sidelight on Greek history. It is “not a popular work in the broad

naturally encyclopedic.... It presupposes a general knowledge of
numismatics on the part of the reader, which is only to be gathered
from the present volume by careful perusal. The coins are taken up one

studied from the point of view of their material, pictures, and

to bring its customs and manners vividly before the reader.” (N. Y.

impossible places, a facility, by the bye, which stands everybody in
the book in good stead before the end is reached. Of course, the hero
does nothing but pose and bluster. Of course, the heroine looks
beautiful and suffers patiently, like the ‘hangel’ that she is to the

Dick Pentreath, plain gentleman, pursues his way among the
commonplaces of life buoyantly enough until on the eve of his marriage
a foolish drinking bout changes the course of true love. Dorothea
scorns him, and in his anger he rushes headlong into a union with an
ill-bred woman who brings him shame and humiliation. Had Dick but
yielded even to the instinct of his dog Sancho who estimated Susan
unerringly, the mistake would have been averted. His burden is
lightened now and then by the kindly encouragement of his sister
confessor Lady Stella, and by the ready devotion of faithful Sancho.
The journey which “bleached Dick Pentreath white” does finally end in
lovers meeting.

problem “not only with the intellectual interest which cannot fail to

him a form of spiritual life in which, for centuries long, the human
race has stored up its deepest and innermost experiences.”
