“As a result of incontinent use of rhetorical figures, the size of the

tedious to the man whose time is limited. The lack of a critical and
scientific form of presentation, of specific historical references,
and of close articulation with the results of advanced researches in
experimental and analytical psychology, prevents the book from having
any wide sphere of usefulness in the psychological research world.”

the events that lead to the identification of a French child that had
been kidnapped by a jealous uncle and sent to America in charge of a

manhood and had been courtmartialed as a British spy does he come face

birthright privileges.

=Jennings, Edward W.= Under the Pompadour. †$1.50. Brentano’s.

A romance which begins with an eighteenth century smuggling adventure.
“There are plots and counterplots, political and personal, and
although the hero, to judge by his own narration, was the most
innocent idiot that ever acted cat’s paw to a lovely woman, and played
cup-and-ball with kingdoms without an inkling of it, the reader
finishes the book with a distinct liking for him. The heroine is quite
out of the common, and very charming.” (Acad.)

* * * * *

“A story told in the first person is hampered by the restricted point
of view involved, the impossibility of relating all things as they
happen, and the modesty which prevents the hero from eulogising
himself. Apart from these drawbacks Mr. Jennings has written a
readable story of life, the simplest forms of life, the meaning both
in England and France.”

“This book is eminently worthy of the excellent series [‘Columbia

detailed, accurate and complete description, analysis and
interpretation of the behavior of lower organisms in existence. More
than this, the work stands alone, the first representative of a class
of books in which animal behavior is to receive thoroughly scientific
treatment.”—J. Philos.

“By his researches Professor Jennings has made himself the authority
on the behavior of unicellular organisms. His book is admirable with
respect to material, method of presentation and form. Its future
influence will certainly be tremendous, for it is a work which will
determine the direction of research as well as mould popular and
scientific opinion. It is the most important book on animal behavior
that has ever been written.” Robert M. Yerkes.

straightforward, and convincing.”

“From the standpoint of the contribution of facts, the book is
exceedingly valuable. That portion of the book dealing with the
analysis of behavior has a somewhat doubtful value because of its
vagueness and complexity, and its constant allusions to pleasure and
pain and to other physical processes in man. The final chapter dealing
overtly with the relation of the behavior of lower organisms to
psychic behavior should be undoubtedly greatly modified when the book
comes to a second edition.” J. B. W.

many particulars should be marred by so considerable a defect.” G. H.

including the principal measures passed from time to time by the
legislature and the administration of those measures by local
authorities charged with their administration.

“The book is valuable as an outline of the sanitary legislation
affecting Greater London, and as an abstract of reports of health
officers and others during a number of decades past. The book would

A sequel to the “Admirable Tinker.” The multiform activity of the
invincible young hero, is suggested in the following: “Tinker adopts
people. He adopts a sister, a pretty child near his own age, and a
daughter, a beautiful young woman who is quite grown, and a Russian
revolutionist to boot. Tinker is a matchmaker, though as a real boy he
cannot endure to be kissed. Tinker is a detective and a fugitive from
justice. He drives a big motor car ... and he goes tiger hunting in
the leafy coverts of Beauleigh park. Tinker is an amateur actor as
well. He plays female roles to admiration in a blond wig and a
pinafore.”—N. Y. Times.

goes with a good swing—it will not bear reading a second time, and the

at the end (unless you are one of the serious) that this playfulness

“The author’s argument is genuine and sincere throughout, his analysis

6–40988.

An addition to the “Highways and byways” series. The journey from the
mouth of the Mississippi to its headwaters carefully avoids the usual
highways of travel. The author-traveler “haunts the country roads,
lodges with the farmers, studies life in the negro cabins, wins the
confidence of the common people, and gets them to talk of their lives
and toil and their aspirations, if they have any, and out of the
humdrum he garners what is quaint, characteristic, and little known.”

“We believe the book is a useful one for the commercial courses of
study now becoming popular in our institutions of learning and that it
should be included in the reference libraries of engineering schools
and engineering societies. The practicing engineer who meets problems
in connection with the economics of water transportation will find in

other sources.”

“The entire lack of general treatises upon the subject of water
transportation will incline teachers and students of the subject to

the chapters devoted to ocean transportation. Far less satisfactory is
his discussion of shipping subsidies.”

+ + − =Nation.= 84: 21. Ja. 3, ’07. 600w.

“Its first part is a study of the meaning of play, its relation to

games chosen from a thousand or more, and judiciously graded for
progressive use. The author has wisely chosen the older forms in all
the games, thus giving the pupil the key to many references in
literature and folklore quite unintelligible if he knew only the
modern variations of the original game.”—N. Y. Times.

=Johnson, Trench H.= Phrases and names, their origins, and meanings. **$1.50. Lippincott.

“In alphabetical order the author has gone through a great number of
names and phrases heard in everyday speech, colloquialisms and
expressions and references of less usual occurrence, explaining in
brief statement their origin and meaning. In the preface the author
says that his sole design has been to account for the origin of
popular phrases and names.”—N. Y. Times.

* * * * *

“This is a very curious book that teems with every possible kind of
error. Had it been much elaborated and compiled by a man of learning
it might have been useful; the hotch-potch before us is almost too bad
to serve as a groundwork for a book of reference.”

− =Acad.= 72: 136. F. 9, ’07. 890w.

“The book is uncritical in its popular derivations, many of which have

=Johnson, Willis Fletcher.= Four centuries of the Panama canal; with maps and illustrations. **$3. Holt.

6–42401.

“The design of Spanish adventures in the fifteenth century is being
fulfilled by American engineers in the twentieth.” So says Mr.
Johnson, and he deals with the incidents and circumstances leading
from Columbus to Roosevelt. His aim is to give the “salient and
essential features of the ‘story,’ with as little as possible of
detailed description of the Isthmian country, of its conditions of
resources, soil, climate, people, of the technical features of the
canal and its auxiliary work.”

* * * * *

“The book shows its newspaper origin by such glaring inaccuracies as
those referred to above, by the fact that it comes quite down to the
date of publication, by its newspaper English, and by its readability.
It is interesting reading, and we need for easy consultation such an
account of the origin and progress of the Panama republic and its
relations with the United States.” J. Russell Smith.

+ − =Am. Hist. R.= 12: 684. Ap. ’07. 880w.

=A. L. A. Bkl.= 3: 148. My. ’07.

“In dealing with the technical features the author has been led into
several errors. Some result from his bias in favour of a sea-level
canal, which he makes no effort to conceal. These errors, however, are
not of great importance, and do not detract in great degree from the
merits of the book. It is but just to say that on the whole the work
is very creditable and will form a useful addition to the library of
any student of Isthmian canal affairs.” Peter C. Hains.

Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.

“The exigencies governing the author in their preparation account
largely no doubt for the remarkable compression that characterizes the
several studies; the style is concise, the narrative compact, and the
discussion penetrating and rigorous. The solid worth of the author’s
contributions is shown by the infrequency of editorial corrections.

Cyclopedic in treatment and, accordingly extensive in scope, the
author covers a vast amount of ground in his two large volumes. The
first is devoted to the history of the Liberian republic from 1847 to
the present time, incidentally revealing Great Britain’s and America’s
colonization policy. The second is devoted to the fauna, flora and
anthropology of the country, the latter being treated in its
historical, physical and social aspects.

“A text-book of functional neurology. The unit of description is the
functional system of neurones, that is, the aggregate of related
neurones which co-operate in the performance of any given type of
reflex movement.... While this work is primarily a text-book of the
morphology of the nervous system, its great merit lies in the fact
that its facts so far as they go also express the functions of the

both find in it an immediate point of departure, for their special
researches.”—Science.

“A volume of this kind has been needed in English.”

“The book will be of great use to all engaged in instruction or

certain features of the author’s terminology is alloyed by his
indifference to the labors of his predecessors in that regard.”

=Johnston, Mary.= Goddess of reason [a drama]. **$2. Houghton.

7–16726.

Miss Johnston’s first drama “opens in Brittany on a summer morning in
1791, and the curtain falls at the end on the banks of the Loire at
Nantes. The plot is as skillfully devised to awaken and sustain
interest from the beginning to the end as any of Miss Johnston’s
stories, and not until the last scene does the reader face the
solution to the problem. The play has a beautiful setting of terraces
and ancient homes, and the refinement, dignity, and wit of the old
order, set in striking contrast to the turbulence, the passion, the
intense conviction, of the revolutionary movement.”—Outlook.

reason it is the most readable poetic drama in the popular sense of
the word, that has lately been seen.” Ferris Greenslet.

“If much of the verse is simply fluent prose cut into lengths, if
there are many crude and not a few broken, halt, or utterly
commonplace lines, there are occasional passages of uncommon

some that thrill with ardor, scorn, or vigorous passion.”

‘Goddess of reason’ she gives full play to her power over romantic

“As romantic as her stories and as interesting. As a drama ‘The

presentation. It is lyrical rather than dramatic; but as a piece of
writing, both in construction and diction, it will advance Miss
Johnston’s reputation.”

+ − =Outlook.= 86: 453. Je. 29, ’07. 230w.

his fair and careful attention.”

Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.

“Mr. Joseph’s work as a whole shows much learning, industry and
acuteness; and we can only express our regret that a logician of such
evident ability has restricted his researches within the narrow
traditional limits and neglected to avail himself of the powerful
instrument which modern symbolic logic has placed at his disposal.”

“The author has attempted to escape the reproach of dryness, which is
proverbial in books of this character, by introducing controversial
matter. The book as a whole is well knit together and certainly not
without value, but it cannot be recommended as a text-book for
beginners.” Adam Leroy Jones.

+ − =J. Philos.= 4: 215. Ap. 11, ’07. 980w.

“The strength of the book lies in the sound judgment which the author
has displayed in knowing whom to follow than in any new ideas of his
own. A good book and worth reading, though we think it would have been
better if the author could have brought himself to compress it.”
