=Glyn, Elinor.= Three weeks. †$1.50. Duffield.

7–21536.

A brief story which is an exaltation of sensuous fascination into an
affair of the soul and which casts the moral law to the four winds of
heaven. A titled young Englishman is sent away from home to be cured
of his love for a rural English girl with red hands. In Paris he meets
and falls in love with the queen of a Russian dependency, “infinitely
sinuous and attractive” who is residing at his hotel incognito. They
yield entirely to the sway of their love which the author’s art aims
to transform into the poetry of sentiment. They suffer the agony of it
in separation followed by tragedy.

An interesting biography written by one who knew Mr. Godkin personally
and who writes appreciatively of the many phases of the man who left
Ireland in his youth, was for 35 years a conspicuous figure in New
York journalism, and exercised a great influence in American political
and social life. The story of his life naturally throws many side
lights upon the men and politics of his day.

“It is unfortunate that the arrangement of the display is so

“It is marvellously clever editing, but it lacks something which

His method suggests either indolence or a wrong perception of what a

“This valuable work by Dr. Goss covers the very important field of
locomotive steam engineering from a standpoint that prior to the
development of the engineering laboratory at Purdue university was
never possible. Dr. Goss has combined in this volume the most
important results obtained from the Purdue tests, records of which
have from time to time been separately published, together with other
material never before published, thereby making a ‘permanent and
accessible record of the work of the laboratory.’”—Engin. N.

“This work of Dr. Goss will rank at the head of the scientific and
technical standards of reference in locomotive engineering. It
presents information on important points obtained with great care and
accuracy and under conditions never before made possible until the
establishing of the Purdue testing plant and engineering
laboratories.” Arthur M. Waitt.

7–36407.

The “struggle between two temperaments” forms the subject-matter of
this volume relating to Edmund Gosse and his father. The offspring of
parents married late in life, the boy grows up in an atmosphere
heavily charged with extreme English Puritanism. “When the child’s
‘temperament’ began to develop, it displayed itself as a passionate
attachment to the romantic in art and poetry; and there were infinite
possibilities of discord between a father who, though he enjoyed
declaiming the sonorous lines of Virgil and Milton, prided himself on
never having read a page of Shakespeare, and a son who saved up his
pocket money to buy the poems of Coleridge and Keats, and, on one
occasion, Christopher Marlowe.” (Lond. Times.)

* * * * *

“Beyond doubt, the charm of the book lies in the opening chapters,
which describe the child’s sombre life in London, without playmates or
companions, the sights he saw through the window; and the experiments
he conducted alike in true religion and in idolatry, not, perhaps,
much unlike those of other children, but told with all the skill of an
accomplished man of letters.”

whether a private ceremony of marriage ever took place has never
been authoritatively settled, although the opinion of most students
of that period is that there actually was such a marriage. No real
