=Caird, Mrs. Mona.= Romantic cities of Provence; il. by Joseph Pennell and Edward Synge. *$3.75. Scribner.

“This is a book bred of a sojourn in Provence and attesting an
awakened eye and sympathy. It aims to catch the spirit of the place,
the indefinable quality lost in a hurried railway passage, and
succeeds best, perhaps, in imparting the reflex effects produced upon
the traveller. The book is illustrated from over two dozen pen
sketches by Joseph Pennell and about twice the number by Edward M.
Synge, who draws with a similar preoccupation with the effect of
sunlight, but with a more downright stroke, a generally wider
interspace in shading and a greater use of outline.”—Int. Studio.

the one is irritated by constant omissions, amplifications, and

“Taken altogether, Mr. Calvert’s book is most disappointing, and we

“The coloured plates reproduce admirably the delicate devices
characteristic of Moorish workmanship at its best. Mr. Calvert
habitually confounds legend with fact, and fails to distinguish
between the random assertions of a tourist and the statements of a
scholar.”

“His book, so complete in other respects, is without an index, a fact
that detracts very greatly from its value to the student.”

“With regard to the Moorish ‘architecture and decoration’ in these
three cities, the main theme of the book, Mr. Calvert is himself
rather prone to superlatives and gush; and, moreover, does not clearly
see that architecture is something altogether different from
decoration.”

“As a book of reference this one has a certain value, though it is
neither a monument of British scholarship nor of Continental, there
being neither continuity nor unity in the product of a well-meant
effort to weld the two. There is little charm of style anywhere, no
quality of mysterious evolution in the subject which compels
attention, no magisterial character in the book to command the highest
respect. As to the bibliography, no arrangement could have been
invented more forbidding to the searcher after authors, titles, or

“One is naturally tempted to compare the two volumes with the
corresponding ones of their predecessor, the ‘Histoire generale.’ They
are full of well-attested facts. But from the point of view of
attractiveness of style and matter the English books fall behind the
French. Its writers have not the French knack of dovetailing a
striking incident or quotation into a perforce heavy narrative. All of
them possess learning and industry; but taken as a whole their product
is but dull reading, though there are exceptions.” W. E. Rhodes.

“That the book is fairly brought up to date goes without saying,
though one may differ from the author as to the relative values among
some of the newer researches, and may wish that some of the old
figures had been replaced by new and better ones. Proof-reading
throughout the volume has been very bad. The index is really absurd.

=Campbell, Frances.= Dearlove, the history of her summer’s make-believe. †$1.50. Dutton.

“Dearlove is a little maiden of eleven years, portrayed in a charming
frontispiece. She holds sway over a family consisting of her
grandfather, the Earl of Amherst; her uncle and aunt, Lord and Lady
Inverona, and her young widowed mother Lady Margaret Gordon. The
‘Summer’s make-believe’ takes place on the Isle of Guernsey, where the
family is spending a happy holiday. The ‘make-believe’ is an invention
of Dearlove (otherwise Philomena,) who decrees that for the summer all
the grownups shall become her age—except ‘Ganpa,’ who may be
twenty-five—shall be called by their Christian names, and shall
disport themselves like eleven-year-olds. How they do this, whom they
meet, and what comes of it all makes a fanciful book.”—N. Y. Times.

“She tells her tale with a complete understanding of children and
their ways; and heart as well as skill goes to make it the charming
book it is.”

=Campbell, Frances.= Measure of life. **$1.50. Dutton.

“In her dedication Mrs. Campbell alludes to these tales and dreams as
her ‘spiritual adventures,’ and that is perhaps the clearest
description that can be given of them. Dreams, legends, and visions
have each a golden thread of spiritual meaning woven into them. All
the author’s eloquence is upon the side of right and goodness; her
pages are full of counsels of perfection, of the wisdom of endurance,
of the salutary effect of patience under pain, suffering and loss, of
the value of self-sacrifice and tribulation in the discipline of life.
Throughout she glorifies those bracing qualities which ordinary human
nature is least inclined to go out of its way to cultivate. Some of
the tales are charming in their tenderness and gaiety.... Others, of
dreams and second sight, are curious and interesting.”—Acad.

A collection of Mr. Campbell’s poems that have appeared in American

author in which he says “After all, the real root of all poetry, from
Shakespeare to the latest singer, is the human heart.... It is man the
hoper, man the dreamer, the eternal child of delight and despair,
whose ideals and desires are ever a lifetime ahead of his greatest
accomplishments, who is the hero of nature and the darling of the
ages. Because of this true poetry will always be to him a language.”

prick-songs, and is esteemed among all as a saint.’ He is very young
in appearance and ‘pretty.’ And he is a ‘child propagandist
interpreting and embodying in himself the spirit of love.’ The story
is not based on fact, Mr. Capes points out in preface, but ‘the
fundamental fact of nature.’”—N. Y. Times.

=Carey, Rosa Nouchette.= No friend like a sister. †$1.50. Lippincott.

Sister Gresham, the strong, capable, contented woman, who establishes
a model nurses’ home and finds her life’s happiness in it is a friend
to the other characters in the book, in times of stress or trouble.
They all lean upon her; her favorite sister Eleanor, who is made happy
by the chance confession of the man who dares not aspire to her, her
brother Lyall who goes as a missionary to Africa, and his child-like
wife who refuses to go with him and later wakes to a realization of
her love and duty. There are other characters also, some of whom stand
alone, and there is another love affair in which the daughter of an
old country family throws aside conventional barriers to marry the man
of her choice.

* * * * *

“Her popularity is no doubt deservedly due in great part to the
extreme wholesomeness of her tone, which makes her stories eminently
suitable for the young girl, and also a love of detail which appeals
to a certain order of mind in old and young alike.”

XV, and Mme. de Pompadour figure prominently in the story.

Holland, Germany and Denmark by two men engaged in the work of the
Church army of England, and actually interested in the improvement of

Trained in an unscrupulous school of finance, the hero of Mr.

corrupt practices. An eavesdropping stenographer rises to the position
of trust magnate and the rounds by which he did ascend materially are
scathingly marked off. It is a sort of “crack o’ doom” warning to
“high finance” aspirants.

“John Walshe, says his son, was a splendid scholar and a devoted
servant of God. Of his scholarship he has left as a monument many
volumes of material relating chiefly to St. Francis of Assisi; of his
devotion to God, impressive evidence is given in this narrative of his
quest to know God, a quest that began in England in his earliest youth
and found its consummation in distant Italy, whither he had fled from
his merchant father’s counting-room, and where he entered upon a life
of study, love and religion that was to lead him to the purest and
most profound mysticism. The phrase a nineteenth-century mystic sounds
strange indeed, but such was John Walshe, and a mystic whose
influence, as diffused by his son’s filial zeal, must touch with
uplifting power all who read the story of his painful
pilgrimage.”—Outlook.

=Cavaness, Alpheus Asbury Brenton.= Rubaiyat of hope. *$1. Meth. bk.

“The whole output tends to give the impression that the successes
themselves are not spontaneous but the mere chance triumphs of a
highly self-conscious and wholly artificial method.”

“One of the qualities, indeed which in poetry serves to give him
distinction, a remarkably affluent and picturesque imagery, in prose
has a tendency to become a defect, rendering the style too poetic and
imaginative and the periods over-sustained. This is, indeed the chief
limitation to the volume, but a limitation redeemed by the delicate
picturing to be found on every page.” Jessie B. Rittenhouse.

“The work of Mr. Cawein is not distinctly lyric, although the verse

“The one weakness in the otherwise masterful work is in the lowering
of the standard of human perfection in order to permit to
consciousness the sense of its attainment.” Edward Braislin.
