the visitor to that city with a guide by which he can find, and which
will help him to understand and appreciate, the important pictures in
the galleries, churches, and palaces. The author’s method is to
indicate the causes which led to the production of the painting and to
tell something of the personality of the artist. Then she describes
the work itself and its meaning, with occasional extracts from famous
critics.” (N. Y. Times.)

An intimate account of the life, scientific achievements and methods
of the foremost plant-breeder in the world. The appearance of this
second edition is justified by the facts that Mr. Burbank vouches for
the statements both scientific and practical made in the volume, that
the interest in the man and his work has steadily increased since the
first edition appeared, and that a “closer study of the work during
the period since the book was first issued demonstrates that this is
one of the greatest constructive enterprises ever established among

the little French girl whom he found on the streets and befriended to
the extent of buying her new clothes with his savings and entertaining
her lavishly in his drygoods box home. Then after he had prospered at
his trade of news boy he found kind aunts who took him to England to

=Hasluck, Paul Nooncree=, ed. Metal working: a book of tools, materials, and processes for the handyman; 2206 il. and working drawings. $2.50. McKay.

Very nearly eight hundred pages are devoted to the practical phases of
metal-working, the theory being discussed only where it is an
essential preliminary to principle underlying a method, a process or
the action of a tool. The scope of the book embraces the whole art of
working metals with hand tools and with such simple machine tools as
the small engineering shop usually contains.

An exhaustive presentation of woodworking. “The book is intended for

furnish the home and to profit their pockets. The treatment adopted
throughout is simple and practical, and there has been a consistent
endeavor to combine accurate information, with clear and definite

“To sum up our judgment on this work, we would say that, from the
standpoint of a rather strict conservative scholarship, it is a highly
creditable accomplishment; and that it will be of great service to
students and preachers whose opinions are free from a tendency to
radicalism.”

“It will, no doubt, be objected against the ‘Dictionary of Christ and
the gospels’ that it contains some otiose matter, such as the somewhat
inferior discussion of ‘Art,’ which takes us little if at all further
than Westcott’s familiar essay. But equally it will be admitted that
the preacher’s purpose is better served than it has ever been before.
The articles have a tendency to make him think, and, in so far, they
earn the gratitude of his congregation.”

indispensable.”

“The book contains some details that were hardly intended for the
student so far away as America, and on the other hand, many general
points of vital interest are passed over all too briefly. This is

“The church of Rome is here presented as ‘the living church.’ ... The
heroine is a high church member of the English establishment by
education, but passes through scepticism to the Catholic fold, while
two or three of the most attractive characters remain Protestants. The
lively narrative is mainly concerned with provincial society and
family life as affected by mixed attachments and marriages between
French and English Catholics and Protestants.”—Ath.

she has almost always succeeded. If she fails it is because her sketch

“A series of ‘the fairy-tales of science,’ in which we are shown the
slow steps by which life crept into higher forms from moneron to man,
the text being largely supplemented by excellent illustrations from
drawings and photographs. The value of the book lies in the strong
impulse it is sure to raise in many readers to verify the statements
for themselves, and thereby enlarge the circle of students of
science.”—Ath.

The first eight volumes of this edition give Heine’s prose writings
translated by Charles G. Leland. After Leland’s death the work was
completed by Thomas Brooksbank who translated the ninth volume, “The
book of songs” and Margaret Armour who translated the last three
volumes of poetry.

“We have noted a number of passages in which the German seems to have
been misapprehended, and many others in which it has not been rendered
with sufficient fidelity; but otherwise the translation is for the
most part distinctly meritorious, for Miss Armour is a skilful and
fluent versifier, and often catches the spirit of her author very
successfully. Some slips in classical matters ought to have been
avoided.”

flexure vary from those expressed in the commonly-used formulas, and
remarks on fatigue action and on the elastic properties of iron and

7–3157.

“A fairly complete history, from the viewpoint of international law
and diplomacy, of the war between Japan and Russia. The material is
cast in a general narrative form, although each chapter is more or
less complete by itself. The rights and duties of belligerents and
neutrals are, of course, the main theme, although the questions of war
correspondents, wireless telegraphy, and submarine mines come in for
treatment. Copious notes and explanatory references, and last but not
least, an excellent index, make the contents of the volume very
accessible.”—R. of Rs.

“He is judicial, he is temperate, he is sound, he is wonderfully fair
and liberal in his citations of authorities. In minor matters here and
there one might take issue, but on the other hand there is original
well-digested comment on almost every page upon a variety of hotly
disputed questions, which will make the book of permanent value.”
Theodore S. Woolsey.

“Professor Hershey writes in an easy style and the subject is treated
in a way that attracts not only the student of international law but
also the general reader. The manner of presentation is semi-historical
giving the reader thus a view of the progress of the conflict as well
as the diplomatic incidents, and legal questions that arose during its
course.” Chester Lloyd Jones.
