Chapter XXXV: Part 1: of this sociological story contains a view of modern New York (7)

=Lee, Sidney.= Stratford-on-Avon: from the earliest times to the death of Shakespeare; il. by Herbert Railton. *$1.50. Lippincott.

“Among the mass of modern Shakespeariana which grows vaster with every
publishing season, it is a relief to find one book on Stratford that
deals with the town for its own rather than for the great poet’s sake.
This picturesque account of Stratford’s early history,—its old markets
and fairs, its nobility, its guild, its village sports and
industries,—serves not only to make a setting for the life of
Shakespeare, but also to bring out much that, having nothing to do
with him, is nevertheless quaint and characteristic.”—Dial.

* * * * *

=A. L. A. Bkl.= 3: 54. F. ’07.

“Mr. Lee has revised his text to bring it strictly up to date, and has
added considerable information which historical researches since 1890
have brought to light.”

+ =Dial.= 41: 461. D. 16, ’06. 200w.

+ =Int. Studio.= 30: 185. D. ’06. 190w.

“The book deserves to be read not only as being supplementary of Mr.
Lee’s biography of the poet, but also in connection with George
Brandes’s ‘Life of Shakespeare,’ whose bold theories become more
interesting in the comparison.”

+ =Lit. D.= 33: 94. D. 15, ’06. 350w.

“The book is written with the seriousness and caution that are
characteristic of all Mr. Lee’s work, and is in all cases based on
documents.”

+ =Nation.= 83: 437. N. 22, ’06. 160w.

“It is accurate, entertaining and handsomely illustrated.”

=Lees, Dorothy Neville.= Scenes and shrines in Tuscany. *$1.25. Dutton.

Twenty-three sketches of Tuscan scenes and customs, written while the
author was connected with an Italian family of the upper class. “To
this family belongs her little six-year-old friend, Mafalda, who, with
her big sister, Francesca, and the contadini on the villa estate, form
a group as interesting as if they were characters in a story.”
(Nation.)

Tuscany.’ It is a careful and delightful piece of work, marred by few
errors of taste or fact.”

=Lefevre, Edwin.= Sampson Rock of Wall street. †$1.50. Harper.

7–8216.

The vast centripetal action of all the issues that make toward the
center of a big New York stock-brokerage office shows the author’s
complete understanding of the “technique of speculation.” The son of a
magnate of finance deplores the methods by which his father aims to
get possession of the Virginia central railroad, and plans to outwit
him. In so doing he plays a Wall street game that lacks neither
characters nor situation to make it realistic.

“Here is undoubtedly a novel with a purpose—a didactic purpose—a
purpose, too, which will not meet with everybody’s approval.
Fortunately the author as the thing progressed and his scent grew

A work which contains among new features a deduction of the subject
from one simple equation, graphic application of the easy method of
drawing the closing line of the equilibrium polygon, a correct and
simple method of designing a reenforced concrete section for combined
thrust and movement, and a graphical analysis of an arch for oblique

7–25045.

The author who is Envoy extraordinary and Minister plenipotentiary of
Haiti in the United States addresses himself especially to students of
international affairs and political history and to the reader of
sociological literature. The first part deals with the history of the
island from before its discovery by Columbus to the election of
General Nord Alexis to the presidency; the second, with the natural
conditions of the country, the general organization, the customs and
manners of the people, and their continued efforts to better their
condition.

=Legge, Ronald.= Admirable Davis. $1.50. Cassell.

“‘The admirable Davis’ is the valet of a member of the British foreign
office who is sent to an Eastern potentate with an important treaty.
The valet is intimately connected with his master’s adventures, for
which the latter is mostly to blame. The valet, in the end, sets
things to rights.”—N. Y. Times.

A good deal of interesting material concerning “The raven” has been
collected for this volume. Mr. Legler discusses its genesis and the
circumstances attending the writing and publishing of the poem; gives
the alleged sources of “The raven” including “To Allegra Florence in
heaven,” a chapter from “Barnaby Rudge,” “Lady Geraldine’s courtship,”
“Clare,” “The rime of the ancient mariner,” “The funiao,” and “The

=Leighton, Joseph Alexander.= Jesus Christ and the civilization of to-day: the ethical teaching of Jesus considered in its bearings on the moral foundations of modern culture. **$1.50. Macmillan.

7–18115.

A practical rather than technical consideration of the ethical
teachings of Jesus Christ in their bearings on the spiritual life of
civilization, in which no account is taken of the external events of
Christ’s life or of his deeds further than necessary for an
interpretation of the meaning and application of his teaching. It
addresses all “intelligent persons who are honestly and open-mindedly
seeking to determine the relation of the words of the Great Master of
Life and Religion to their own lives and to the complex and confused
life of contemporary civilization.”

“Professor Leighton would seem to be more at home in the field of
ethics than in matters of New Testament criticism. One can but wish
him well in his doctrine of the freedom of the individual and victory
over the forces of time, but it must be said that a more critical
attitude toward early Christian traditions would have added not a
little to the soundness of his results.”

=Lenotre, Gosselin.= Flight of Marie Antoinette; tr. from the French by Mrs. Rodolph Stawell. *$3.50. Lippincott.

7–28490.

The incidents of the flight of Marie Antoinette to Varennes, where she
is overtaken and compelled to return a prisoner flash before us with
panoramic swiftness and dramatic intensity. She is the one strong
figure amid the deplorable weakness of husband, children and
dependents, and “wherever she passes” strikes “the note of something
great, of something gracious, whimsical, and sweet.” (Lond. Times.)

=Lethaby, William Richard.= Westminster abbey and the kings’ craftsmen: a study of mediaeval building. *$3.50. Dutton.

7–19737.

Less a description of the edifice than an account of the craftsmen who
built and decorated it. “The author seeks to rebuild in our
imaginations this ‘supreme work of art’ in all its perfection of form,
its beauty of adornment, its suavity of environment, its church and
chapterhouse, its monastery and mill, its garden and farm, seated by
the side of the king’s palace on the bank of the clear-running
Thames.” (Acad.)

creative effort. Here are reproduced a dozen or so of his studies in
black and white, and Mr. Levussove points out the excellencies of
style and content as they reveal Lilien’s mastery of the technic of
composition and his understanding of Hebrew nature.

“Tells the story of Andrew Jackson’s career in, we conceive, precisely
the way Andrew Jackson himself would have delighted to tell it.... It
has the true Jacksonian flavor of unquenchable ardor to twist the tail
of the British lion, supreme contempt for the Spanish Dons, burning
antipathy to the ‘corrupt bargainers’ Adams and Clay—poor
‘Machiavelli’ Clay, as Mr. Lewis persists in calling him—and
unrestrained enmity for ‘serpentine’ Banker Biddle and the rest of the

=Lewis, Elizabeth.= Lorenzo of Sarzana. $1.50. Badger, R: G.

7–20618.

In Genoa, just before the plague descends upon her, is set this story
of a group of artists, studying under the old Italian Maestro in his
attic studio. A three stranded love motive tangles the plot into which
is woven a double thread of mystery in the persons of a white swathed
figure which haunts a young American art student and a demented
painter who destroys her canvases as soon as she finishes them. All
this throws a glamour over an otherwise modern romance in which a
match-making mother and a dowry hunting Italian figure conspicuously.

=Lewis, Emily Westwood.= Next door Morelands. †$1.50. Little.

7–30990.

A story for girls from twelve to sixteen which tells of the coming of

Morelands are five rollicking children, who initiate Corinne into the
mysteries of their mirth-loving circle.

=Lewis. Rev. Howell Elvet.= With Christ among the miners; incidents and impressions of the Welsh revival. *$1. West. Meth. bk.

Devotional in its aim and compass this volume contains a series of
personal impressions and incidents of the great Welsh revival of 1904.
It reveals the hearts of the people, shows how they opened to the
coming of the Spirit, rejoices in the good results of the movement
and, to be wholly fairminded, does not overlook its shortcomings.

=Lewis, Mary Elizabeth.= Ethics of Wagner’s The ring of the Nibelung. **$1.50. Putnam.

7–30.

In which the author recounts “every detail of the legend from which
the Trilogy is compiled and assigns to each one a definite place in an
ethical system which she conceives to have been in Wagner’s mind.” The
cycle she discovers to be “a logical and coherent ethical doctrine,”
which she regards “as presenting a panoramic picture of the evolution
of the human consciousness struggling to free itself from the
hampering conditions of self, until at last, selfless, it is lost in
the Divine Will.”

* * * * *

“The author of this book has done her work carefully, so carefully
indeed that every detail is weighed and appraised at a certain value,
while in order to facilitate the analytical process the story of the
drama is told in short, bald sentences, often resembling a newspaper
report of a parliamentary debate or proceedings in the law courts.” H.

+ − =Acad.= 72: 194. F. 23, ’07. 960w.

“She retells in prose, and it must be admitted prosaically, the
complete story of this drama of gods and men, and gives her
interpretation of its complex symbolism. She does not profess that it
is Wagner’s interpretation, and the reader will not be apt to find it
his own, but he will at least be drawn to think about it, and so, by
getting more meaning from it, he will give to the music more power.”

African policy during the past century. “He is not bitter about
England, though he is very bitter about English colonists, and cannot
mention the name of Sir Percy FitzPatrick without losing his temper.”

“As a result of an Indian raid, with its trail of smoking ruins and
scalped and tortured victims, only two human beings were found alive
by the rescue party in the whole devastated settlement—a white girl
baby and an Indian boy, scarcely older or larger. These two waifs are
taken in charge by Colonel Bill Lander, the cattle king, and brought
up together with the same impartial care that he would have bestowed
upon children of his own.” (Bookm.) The story mainly concerns these
two, their ill-assorted union, and an inevitable tragedy.

“Miss Lockwood has used the text of the Globe edition, and retained
the modern spelling; in the arrangement and classification of the
meanings of words she has followed the ‘New English dictionary.’
