“In the present work the search-light of history is turned full upon
the little island and its great occupant. The smallest details of the
Emperor’s life in his little kingdom are narrated and much new light
is thrown upon his character. Interesting portraits are also given of
the sharers of his exile: Madame Mère, Pauline his sister, the devoted
Bertrand, Drouot and the old watch-dog Cambronne.”—Lit. D.

“A pleasing volume, which will introduce British readers to an island
with which few persons are acquainted, and to one of the less known
episodes of the Emperor’s career. The rendering is at times faulty.”

“Paul Gruyer is not the only writer who has chosen this theme. But
nowhere before the appearance of the book under review had a complete
picture of the surroundings and the central figure been presented with
the necessary completeness. Now nothing remains to be known. As to the
translator’s task, it has been fairly done, as far as turning the
French into readable English. But in other respects the performance is
one of which it is impossible to write with too great severity. The
translator is totally ignorant of everything French, except to a
certain extent the French language, and of the history of the period.”

=Gull, Cyril Arthur Edward Ranger (Guy Thorne, pseud.).= The serf. *$1. Fenno.

The author has chosen the rough and wicked England of the twelfth
century as the setting for his story of Hyla, the serf, whom he has
made typical of serfdom, and within whose misshapen body burned the
first spark of freedom which was to enkindle the world. The coarse
times are well depicted from the lewd life of the barons in their
castles to the hopeless routine of the serfs in their shacks. The
personality of Hyla who rises from the herd about him and becomes a
man and a murderer to avenge his daughters and his wrongs, is strongly
brought out and the reader follows breathless until he has paid the
awful price exacted from such as he.

* * * * *

“If the reader can bear the smell of the sewerage of the twelfth
century, and the feel of the big eels slipping thru his toes as he
reads, he will find in this book the most gorgeous descriptions of
water scenes that have appeared in years. The whole meaning of the
marches and fens of the twelfth century, their menace and their
beauty, as distinct from the civilized waterways of modern times in
England is well portrayed.”

− + =Ind.= 63: 453. Ag. 22, ’07. 730w.

“He frequently leaves the straight path of this narrative in order to

=Gummere, Francis B.= Popular ballad. (Types of English literature ser., v. 1.) **$1.50. Houghton.

7–18086.

“Prof. Gummere starts out with a severely critical consideration of
just what must be meant by ‘popular’ as applied to ballads and rules
out all but about 300 specimens of the genre. While he treats the
ballad as a closed account, an outcome of conditions which no longer
exist, he admits that there is nothing to prevent the daily production
of ballads which in time may become as popular as any in this
collection. But he restricts the present study to these remnants of
oral tradition, divides them into half a dozen classes, studies their
sources, and gives a critical estimate of their worth.”—N. Y. Times.

* * * * *

“The last chapter on the worth of the ballad as poetry, is written
‘con amore,’ but with all that admirable scholarly restraint that
marks all of Professor Gummere’s work.”

treating of the preparatory influence of Shelley, Wordsworth and

Matthew Arnold, Tennyson’s portrayal of conscience and the inevitable
results of sin, and the religious element in Browning.

Descriptive note in December, 1905.

“The strength of the book is its weakness. It is too wordy,
imaginative, and passionate. Thought is not sufficiently clear and
comprehensive to serve as a basis for enduring emotional power. The

7–33913.

An unsatisfactory novelization of a satisfactory play whose principal
characters are “a despotic mother-in-law, an Anglomaniac dude, and a
Bostonian girl fresh from Vassar. The hero, Prince Karl, is a sort of
Jekyll and Hyde character, only in the novelization the character is
accompanied by considerable buffoonery.” (Outlook.)

“The novelization of the play ‘Prince Karl’ is distinctly

revolution. The author emphasizes especially the fact that social
theory is the outgrowth of social conditions and that social strivings
and social ideals are by no means confined to the nineteenth or
twentieth centuries. His captions are as follows: The beginning of
social unrest of England, The social theories of Sir Thomas More, Life
and times of Campanella, The socialism of Campanella, Eighteenth
century radicalism in France; The social teachings of Morelly, and
revolutionary radicals.

of those who differ from him that one is frequently more impressed by

Mr. Gwynn states that his book is written in praise of Ireland. And it
is such praise as one can give who has a full understanding of “its
soil and its people, its mountains and plains, seas and rivers, cities
and solitudes, its ways of life and thought, its history and its
aspirations, its failures and possibilities, its joy and grief.” Of
these he writes: “It is, in fact, obviously intended to play a part in
promoting the ‘Irish revival.’” (Outlook.)

* * * * *

“He sings his song of love and war so charmingly, and with such

many other personal narratives not always quite correct in detail....

unprincipled politicians, and to make us intimately familiar with

Anglo-Jewish merchant from the Spanish inquisition in the last. The
fortunes of the Jew’s daughter—who has been abducted, by a nobleman in
the train of De Ayala, the ambassador, and is pursued across the sea
by her lover, brave Peter Brome, and his comrades—form the main thread
of the story. Incidentally we meet with many well-fancied types of
militant and ecclesiastical humanity, with effective portraits of
monarchs and great men.” (Ath.)

them into her wild-goose pattern quilt she grows reminiscent and with
pristine verve and histrionism recounts delicious tales of long ago:
how Sally Ann delivered her message of denunciation to the men of
Goshen church for demanding that their wives be the submittin’ kind,
and how the women of the Mite society bought a new organ for the
church in spite of the husbands who thought it a frivolous proceeding.
Unruly human nature, bits of scandal and gossip are all softened by

quaint philosophy and delightful sentiment.
