Chapter XLI: Part 1: of this sociological story contains a view of modern New York (13)

“To the average American student, the book is a primer of the simplest
type. To the foreign lawyer who wishes to become familiar with the
theoretical side of our government the book will be of considerable
assistance, but to a foreign business man or a foreigner studying
modern institutions, the book is of little value, for it lives in the
dim, forgetful past, not in the pulsing present.”

“While there are some imperfections in the style, and while for the
general reader the book would be more valuable if it had undergone
revision by an English scholar, it is a remarkably clear and
comprehensive statement of the fundamental principles of our American
constitution and might well be commended to the lay reader who desires
to obtain a nonpartisan impression and scholarly view of the nature of
our government and the functions of its various departments.”

Modern pilgrim’s progress; with introd. by the Very Rev. H. S. Bowden. *$1.60. Benziger.

A description of the “phases of thought through which an educated and
thoughtful woman passed on her spiritual journey from the Anglican to
the Roman faith. The arguments in favor of the Roman faith are as old
as its attractions, and the author does not lay claim to any polemical
originality.” (Spec.)

The present work aims to review the history of aerial navigation and
its present development and to give scientific information on the

Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.

“Mr. Molloy has re-told the old stories fairly well, and produced the
sort of book that very many people like to read.”

“The book certainly cannot be said to have been necessary; but it is
written with such infectious good humour and apparent zest, the touch
is so spirited and flowing, the local colour thrown on with so light
and lavish a hand, that it may be skimmed with amusement and
pleasure.”

=Molmenti, Pompeo Gherardo.= Venice, its individual growth from the earliest beginnings to the fall of the republic; tr. from the Italian by Horatio F. Brown. Sold in 2v. sections, per section, *$5. McClurg.

This is the second installment of Molmenti’s “Venice.” It contains two
volumes as did the first section, and deals with “the golden age” from
the viewpoints of conditioning factors, constitution, climate and
public health, festivals, the arts, industry, scientific movements,
schools, private life, the stage, palaces and houses, fashions,
entertainments, the family and the corruption of manners.

* * * * *

“Mr. Molmenti is certainly a learned man in the limited sense of the
word, that is, he is a collector pure and simple, whose primitive
notion of a book is a succession of scrap-heaps, labelled chapters,
which his readers are set to pick over for bright and valuable matter
appearing here and there like raisins in a cake.” Ferdinand Schwill.

“The ideal volume from the standpoint of the reputable publisher is
one which combines literary interest with an appropriate and

accomplishment of this are two volumes recently published with the
title ‘Venice.’” Laurence Burnham.

Molmenti.” Laurence M. Larson.

“In the main, we find Molmenti’s verdicts sound, and his attitude
judicial. We must praise the very readable translation of Mr. Horatio
Brown, himself a recognized authority on matters Venetian.”

“The material which enables the author to describe these subjects in
the most minute detail has been collected with the greatest care,
patience and industry from original sources. So complete, indeed, are
the descriptions that in many cases we have pages of sheer
enumeration—of estimable value to specialists, but of doubtful
attractiveness to the lovers of the romantic phases of Venetian
history.”

“That the translation itself is excellent goes without saying. The
reader’s pleasure is interfered with by no heaviness of style, no
awkward turn of a sentence. The straightforward tale of the old
Venetians, the most interesting community in Europe, is told with a
frank simplicity, and yet with every detail that can be desired by a
careful student.”

that Mr. Brown does not underrate the scholarship of his readers.
About one-tenth of the text of the first volume consists of
untranslated quotations from some foreign tongue.”

A brief but unified picture, gained thru study and travel, of the
incoherent Ottoman empire and its complex civilization. A chapter is
devoted to the rise, another to the decline of the empire one is given
to the significant events in Turkish history during the past thirty
years, but the most of the book is devoted to matters of purely human
interest, including eight chapters upon Constantinople, its monuments,
characteristic quarters, street scenes, bazaars, baths, kahns,
fountains, mosques and dervishes.

7–12272.

Alderson Cree is shot by an enemy and upon his death-bed exacts from
his young son the promise to avenge the deed. “His ‘sowing’ is the
spirit of revenge and hatred which is thus implanted in the child’s
heart, and the reaping comes ten years later, when the boy must choose
between revenge and love. The story has in it all the rough strength
of the mountain valley where the scene is laid and of the rough
mountain people who figure in its pages.” (N. Y. Times.)

“A book of extraordinary sweetness and strength, for in reading one is
led along by the sure touch of the writer, who, born and living all
her days among the mountain people, knows their lives and touches them

“This work is divided into two parts: 1, Philosophical survey; 2,
Biological solutions. Some of the problems discussed in the first part
are substance, identity, causation, the problem of the external world,
universals and particulars, innate faculties, subject and object,
etc.... The problems of substantiality, causation, mechanical
necessity, living substance as sensorimotor agent, sentiency and
purpose in movements, teleology in nature, etc., are discussed in the
second part, in conjunction, with the author’s own views.”—Psychol.
Bull.

“Futile as is all such philosophizing, there are valuable practical
applications of biology, in ethics, education, and sociology, and
these Mr. Montgomery has instructively presented, though disadvantaged
by a heavy and otherwise somewhat defective literary style.”

A novel book of reference in which “foreign political phrases, terms,
and catch-words of international significance, but with particular
reference to Great Britain, are defined in simple language.” (N. Y.
Times.) “This book will help a hasty journalist to write in such a
fashion as to pass muster with a hasty sub-editor.” (Ath.)

* * * * *

“Numerous catch phrases of recent political campaigns are discussed
which surely do not deserve a place in a one-volume work of this
character, and even the allusions to strictly English politics are not
treated with comprehension of their relative importance. The worst
fault of the book is the lack of judicial attitude. Almost every page
is tinged with a national prejudice which warps the discussion so as
largely to destroy its value.”

not marry, she is killed in a railway collision. This, being a kind of
domestic Cassandra, she has foreseen, as, helpless to prevent or to
convince, she has foreseen all the other catastrophes which have
befallen her circle—the suicide of her father, the almost patricide of
her favorite cousin, the violent death in the desert of the man she
loves.” (Nation.)

=Moore, T. Sturge.= Correggio. *$2. Scribner.

7–35193.

“The originality of the book lies largely in the asides, though the
author does good service in challenging previous vague attempts to
define the peculiar sort of ecstacy wherein Correggio’s Corregiosity
must surely consist. Mr. Moore’s own view is that the master fully
realized himself only a handful of the classical pictures, notably the
Io, the Ganymede, and perhaps the Antiope. As the favored decorator of
the provincial and by no means highly cultured court of Parma.
Correggio lacked the sustaining forces behind a Titian or a
Michaelangelo, frequently availing himself too readily of his own
formulas, seldom realizing the full dignity of his position as
artist.”—Nation.

* * * * *

“Not so readable as Brinton’s book in the ‘Great masters’ series, nor
does it contain so much about the life of Correggio, but is much more
exhaustive as to technique.”

+ − =A. L. A. Bkl.= 3: 101. Ap. ’07.

“Rarely have we read a book more bewildering in general plan, and this
in spite of not a little classification into divisions and

wandering reverie.”

+ − =Ath.= 1906, 2:624. N. 17. 1150w.

“He again devotes rather too much space to the exploitation of his own
critical creed; and he is unnecessarily hard on Mr. Berenson and
Signor Conrado Ricci.”

+ − =Ind.= 63: 1126. N. 14, ’07. 290w.

“When Mr. Sturge Moore shakes himself free of the other critics and
deals with his professed subject, Correggio, he reveals himself as
admirably qualified for the task. He brings to his work that rare
combination, a practical training in art and a wide knowledge of
literature, with a power of philosophical analysis to which very few
writers on the history of art can pretend. The catalogue ‘raisonné,’
in which Mr. Moore has been helped by his friend. Mr. C. S. Ricketts,
is fairly complete.”

“The style is occasionally crabbed, its discursiveness extreme, but as
the sincere effort of a poet’s mind to interpret a most poetical
painter it abounds in wisdom even in the byways of the theme.”

+ − =Nation.= 84: 230. Mr. 7, ’07. 620w.

“The result [of defining the temper, address, inspiration and quality
of works], though somewhat spun out in generalizations, is
interesting, suggestive, and important, especially as coming from one
who questions the value of the aims and methods of modern historical
art criticism.”

“There is much in this volume with which it is possible to disagree;
there is, I think, too much controversy in it, and Mr. Moore is not at
his happiest in controversy. Nor is the design of the book quite
satisfactory. But, whatever the faults, I believe that it is on the
main lines of such work as this that aesthetic criticism, if it is to
have any vital hold on the intelligent interests of the world, must
proceed.” Laurence Binyon.

teleological aspects of the interpretation of nature, the aim of the
book being, in the author’s words, to show that a belief in purpose as
the casual reality of which nature is an expression is not
inconsistent with a full and whole-hearted acceptance of the
explanations of naturalism within their appropriate sphere.” (Int. J.

white light is turned upon him. He lives again in the atmosphere of

seen surrounded by his contemporaries and friends. The historical
value of the study is apparent, while it is as fascinating as any

fact, a comprehensive study of analysis from the theoretical side....

general principles, such as mass action, equilibrium, reversible

“This is a sketch of the organization and general methods of working
of the United States government. The subject matter rather outruns the
title, as all grades of government, and not the national alone, are
covered.” (Ann. Am. Acad.) “Especially noteworthy is an inclusion

dependencies. Roosevelt’s letter instructions to the Philippine board
and an act of Congress bearing upon it are appended.” (Ind.)

“Its value is impaired by a number of misstatements of fact, and by
the author’s lack of training in historical research. The
proofreading, also, is very bad. As Dr. Moses’s general points of view
are good, we feel confident that he will be able to revise his book in
such a way as to bring out more clearly its fundamental idea.”
