=Hill, Headon, pseud. (Francis Edward Grainger).= The avengers. $1.50. Dodge, B. W.

To free her lover from an insane asylum, a young heiress searches out
his double, offers him ample remuneration to assume insanity, become
an inmate of the asylum, exchange places with the lover and help the
latter to escape. The one feigning insanity finds the other too
hopelessly mad to execute the commission; so after a few weeks goes
forth himself, weds the girl, who supposes him to be her rescued
lover, and then the complications begin which involve a vendetta meant
for the man shut away in the “refractory cell” but which in reality
menaces the life and happiness of the innocent double. The tangle is

Rex and Regina, confronting her with problems not dealt by the editor.
A series of amusing stories full of gentle sarcasm is the result.

“Those who relish Besant’s novels, with their quiet movement, gentle

the fifth.’ The hero, who tells the story of his own life, is the
younger son of a noble family. Not succeeding in the army, for which
he was intended, he works his way to success through many hardships
and perils. There is plenty of adventure.”—N. Y. Times.

“The episodes Mr. Hilliers handles with great skill, but he is
somewhat at fault in the process of co-ordination. The author’s study
of the period must have been profound, and he has absorbed the spirit
of the times with remarkable ability. His narrative is thus
convincing, except in the London part, which reads almost like a piece

believes that everything points to a still greater America.”

=Hocker, Gustav.= Joseph Haydn; a study of his life and time for youth; tr. from the German, by George P. Upton. (Life stories for young people.) **60c. McClurg.

7–30875.

A sketch which reveals all the lovable qualities of a good man and the
scholarly attributes of the master. Haydn’s personality is full of
charm and furnishes an atmosphere which in itself is an invitation to
study the career of the man who created the artistic patterns of the
sonata, the quartette, and the symphony, who also enlarged the scope
of the orchestra and who became the father of instrumental music.

=Hodge, Frederick Webb=, ed. Handbook of American Indians north of Mexico. 2 pts. pt. 1. $1.25. Supt. of doc.

7–35198.

Treats of all the tribes north of Mexico, including the Eskimo, and
those tribes south of the boundary more or less affiliated with those
in the United States. It has been the aim to give a brief description
of every linguistic stock, confederacy, tribe, subtribe or tribal
division, and settlement known to history or even to tradition, as
well as the origin and derivation of every name treated, whenever such
is known, and to record under each every form of the name, and every
other appellation that could be learned.

“Though confessedly incomplete, the handbook represents a vast amount
of research by an army of observers, and students of ethnography will
look forward to the publication of the second part with keen
anticipation.”

“It is fair to say that in the future, students of the American Indian
must have this manual always at hand. The Bureau and the editor are to
be congratulated upon this publication which is, in a certain sense,
among many contributions to scholarship, the greatest which the Bureau
has yet made.”

=Hodges, Rev. George.= Holderness: an account of the beginnings of a New Hampshire town. *$1.25. Houghton.

7–19786.

A little hundred-page volume in which Dr. Hodges tells the story of “a
typical little New England hill town, named from the Yorkshire
Holderness, and pleasantly situated on Squam lake, not far from
Plymouth, in Grafton county.” He makes interesting personalities of
the men who built up the town. “There is some modern matter relating
to walks and drives and mountain tops, but the main value of the book
is historic, and it is a worthy pendant for Mr. Sanborn’s ‘New
Hampshire.’” (N. Y. Times.)
