“He writes like a lawyer, with close study of the precedents, and with
no wandering from his text. The book is not large, but it is weighty,

=Prentis, John Harcourt.= Case of Dr. Horace: a study of the importance of conscience in the detection of crime. †$1.25. Baker.

7–12637.

In the interests of psychology, to prove how great a part the
conscience of a criminal plays in the detection of his crime, two
friends devise a daring test. They substitute the body of a man who
died at a hospital for Dr. Horace, who promptly disappears on a two
weeks’ vacation. They arrange the body so that murder is evident, they
furnish a motive and every clue points to Wallace, the other man in
the plot, as the murderer. Then follows the work of the detectives on
the trail of the murderer without a conscience. The story is
interesting, and the end is clever, altho it evades the psychological
point.

“The story, however, though readable thruout, weakens deplorably in
the latter chapters.”

=Price, George Bacon.= Gaining health in the West, (Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona); being impressions of a layman. *$1. Huebsch.

7–19791.

Based upon seven years’ personal experience with “climate” this little
volume offers sane and valuable advice to all who are obliged to seek
the West in search of health. It discusses climatic conditions,
marital obligations, social and ethical aspects, tells where and how
to live, how to avoid loneliness, how to get employment and many other
things which only one who has learned the detailed lessons taught by
experience can know.

health, will find this little volume an admirable substitute for such
advice as he might expect from an experienced sensible, and
sympathetic friend.”

Future relates the possibilities of what may come to the American
negro.

=Price, William Hyde.= English patents of monopoly. (Harvard economic studies, v. 1.) **$1.50. Houghton.

6–36187.

In this volume “the application of the common law to cases of monopoly
down to the enactment of the common-law principle in the statute of
monopolies in 1624, is followed in detail.... Having treated of the
political and economic aspects of the monopoly system as a whole, the
author devotes succeeding chapters to several selected important
industries wherein monopolies were established.... In appendices,
occupying something over one hundred pages, original documents,
statutes, letters, and proclamations concerning patents, monopolies,
and commissions, and touching grievances, are reprinted.”—J. Pol.
Econ.

* * * * *

“This somewhat perfunctory treatment of the larger question involved
is our principal, in fact almost our only criticism of this serious
study by a well-trained investigator of an interesting and important
subject. We regret that a more restricted subject was not taken, or
else that the first chapter, the ‘political history’ of the
monopolies, was not made much longer and more serious, more
discriminating and more scientifically historical. We have no doubt
that the author is entirely capable of having so treated it, but was
led astray by a predominatingly economic interest.”

“In view of the space-limits of the book, some topics receive

The reader is here afforded “glimpses of the rugged southwest country,
with its quaint aborigines and the ruins of an older folk.” “Of
prehistoric remains, of the life and work of primitive house-builders,
and of the present conditions of Indian life on the great plateau Dr.
Prudden tells us much, while the natural wonders of the locality are
graphically described.” (Outlook.)

* * * * *

“The interpretation of the far southwest requires a command of
language and a power of appreciation possessed by few writers. Mr.
Prudden has both. Perhaps the best recommendation that can be given
this picturesque description is that it makes the reader anxious to
see what is spoken of with his own eyes.”

=Pryce, Richard.= The successor: a novel. †$1.50. Duffield.

7–25083.

Here is a story with a mystery surrounding the birth of an heir to a
vast English estate. The moral law is sacrificed to the interests of
ambition, and like many a modern story, no retribution follows for the
offenders. The art of the story teller protects the mystery almost too
well. The best character of the story is that of a faithful servant
who served the house rather than individuals.

“However venturesome the foundation of its plot, this book cannot be
charged with grossness. The seasoned reader will get from if no great
harm, but much delightful entertainment. The immature reader will do
just as well not to make its acquaintance.” Wm. M. Payne.

+ − =Dial.= 43: 251. O. 16, ’07. 310w.

“The style is evidently an earnest attempt to follow in the crooked
footsteps of Henry James, and the matter, too, is not so very
different from the sort of exposition upon which that master expends

being at least lucid, it is really a little better worth while.”

=Pryor, Sara Agnes Rice (Mrs. Roger Atkinson Pryor).= Birth of the nation, Jamestown, 1607. **$1.75. Macmillan.

7–14669.

In view of the Jamestown celebration special emphasis is here laid
upon the part which it played in the birth of our nation. Beginning
with the legends of early discoverers, the story of the colonization
of Virginia is given briefly but with good detail, the men both white
and red, who took active part in the struggle with the wilderness are
vividly pictured in connection with the work they did. It is not a
history of Jamestown, it is a history of the great movement which
created Jamestown and preserved it, and it is a timely tribute to the
town’s significance.

* * * * *

“It is based upon all the available sources, and these have been
fairly well used. There is no offensive display of the critical
spirit; neither is the author credulous. In the way of criticism, it
may be said that the author seems to think that Powhatan is a name,
not a title; that too much space is devoted to descriptions of the
Indians and their life, and not enough attention to conditions among
the colonists; that there is no index, and some of the illustrations
would be better suited to a work of fiction.”

7–23269.

“This excursion of a business man into monetary reform is based upon a
desire to adjust bimetallism and the use of silver to the gold
standard. Instead of ‘asset currency’ he suggests more silver.
Thinking our currency insufficient, he advises that the government,
‘under a safe and conservative system of bimetallism,’ should greatly
increase our circulating medium.... Next, the author proposes an
indefinite increase of government bonds, to be called upon request of
any national bank which will pay in gold or silver to an amount equal
to the par value of the bonds.”—J. Pol. Econ.

=Putnam, George Haven.= Censorship of the church of Rome, and its influence upon the production and distribution of literature. **$2.50. Putnam.

7–1301.

To be complete in two volumes. The work is a study of the history of
the prohibitory and expurgatory indexes, together with some
consideration of the effects of Protestant censorship and of
censorship by the state. It includes a list of the more important
decrees, prohibitions, briefs, and edicts relating to the prohibition
of specific books from the time of Gelasius I., 567 A. D., to the
issue in 1900 of the latest of the church under Leo XIII.

=v. 2.= “The theological controversies in France, Germany, England,
and the Netherlands, from 1600 to 1750, are first discussed. These are
followed by a study of the treatment of the Scriptures under
censorship in these countries and Spain, and then the author considers
the relations of the censorship to the various monastic
orders—Jesuits, Dominicans, Casuits Seculars, and Regulars.” (N. Y.
Times.) Further he describes the Roman Indexes, gives brief
descriptions of examples of condemned literature, and discusses the
subject of censorship.

“In dealing with this large and difficult subject, Dr. Putnam appears
to have fallen between two stools. Although the book shows evidence of
considerable labor and contains much matter not to be found elsewhere

7–29016.

“To look at Italy through the eyes of Dante himself, and having looked
to realise her for others, as she appeared to the poet during his
sojourn upon earth, has been the chief aim of the author of this new
study.... He begins with a rapid sketch of the state of Europe as a
whole at what he calls the ‘critical moment of Dante’s life, the ideal
state of his vision,’ passing on to concentrate his attention first on
Italy, then on Florence, and finally on Dante himself, tracing his
literary antecedents, calling up one after another the possibilities

“Our chief quarrel with Mr. Ragg is on account of his trick of
introducing trivialities, hardly suited to the dignity of his theme.”

+ − =Ath.= 1907, 1: 662. Je. 1. 1120w.

“Canon Ragg is steeped to the finger tips in Dantesque lore, is
thoroughly familiar with everything written by the man to whom his
book is one long tribute of homage, and is gifted with an imagination
so vivid that he has been able to piece together a very realistic
picture of the period at which his hero lived.”

+ =Int. Studio.= 32: 169. Ag. ’07. 200w.

“His task is suited to his powers, which are, it must be said, not
inconsiderable. He gives the delightful impression, so rarely received
in these days, that he knows a great deal more than he has set down.”

+ + =Lond. Times.= 6: 164. My. 24, ’07. 1340w.

“With a little more system, a greater tenacity in developing each of
his themes, Mr. Ragg would have written a book to be often opened for
reference after being once read for pleasure. It is a pity, that this
book should be marred by many misprints in foreign words. A more
serious defect is an excessive fondness for the dramatic and
picturesque, which leads Mr. Ragg into baseless conjectures and
striking inconsistencies.”

+ − =Nation.= 85: 80. Jl. 25, ’07. 1070w.

“Everywhere Canon Ragg writes as a man, scholarly and imaginatively
dominated by his subject, and yet with a painstaking discretion which
at once enables the reader to separate facts from hearsay. On one or
two points, however, he shows that he has not followed the researches
of Dante’s scholars as carefully as he has the half-forgotten
chronicles of the poet’s contemporaries.” Walter Littlefield.

Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.

“Considered as a series of pictures representing Welsh landscape and
Welsh people, this book has much charm and a certain quiet interest.
As a story it fails by an excessive and inartistic introduction of the
marvellous.”

+ − =Ath.= 1906, 1: 758. Je. 23. 110w.

“Allan Raine is very sensitive to the beauty and the picturesqueness
of the rugged Welsh character and Welsh scenery, and has a skillful
pen in the weaving of these things into a structure of the tale. The
result is to mask very pleasingly an inherent feebleness of conception
and treatment.”

A monograph in the English men of letters series, which interprets

“A distinct contribution to Shakesperean literature.”

“It is one of the most suggestive books on Shakespeare that this
country has yet produced.”

+ + =Ath.= 1907, 1: 689. Je. 8. 2870w.

“Even some of the most appreciative among [the critics] have
considered his work too much as literature and not enough as drama.
This is the chief fault in Professor Raleigh’s contribution.” Edward
Fuller.

+ − =Bookm.= 26: 155. O. ’07. 1320w.

“He has produced a thoroughly safe volume on the subject of what
everyone should know about Shakespeare. And when we add that he writes
not as a fetich-worshipper but as a reverent and honest student, we
have said enough.”

+ =Dial.= 43: 215. O. 1, ’07. 390w.

“To a layman the contrast between Professor Raleigh’s volume and the
writings of Shakespeare scholars generally is very astonishing. The
point that, as a layman, we wish to emphasize, is that he can be read
with pleasure by those who have tried to read the other books and
failed.” Frank Moore Colby.

+ + =Forum.= 39: 255. O. ’07. 1760w.

“For this little volume it is safe to predict a large degree of public
favor. It reveals, it is true, many instances of bad logic and an
abundant lack of system. But it is in many respects brilliant, the
style is almost epigrammatic in its sententiousness, and the
felicitous aptness with which the text is quoted amounts almost to a
display of genius.”

+ + − =Ind.= 63: 153. Jl. 18, ’07. 1000w.

“Mr. Raleigh has given us an essay, overflowing with life, crammed
with suggestion, full of stimulating ideas and happy turns of phrase,
and with no dull page from beginning to end. It is table-talk _in
excelsis_, stamped with all the freshness and brightness of an
original mind. This impromptu nature of Mr. Raleigh’s criticism brings
with it, of course, the defect of its quantity.”

+ + − =Lond. Times.= 6: 130. Ap. 26, ’07. 2870w.

“We are delighted to find him penetrating to the root of the matter,
which is that Shakespeare’s stage was a platform and not, like ours, a
picture-frame, and that drama written to be played on a platform took
a peculiar shape from that very fact. Alive to the fact, he seems to
be dead, or only half alive, to its consequences. He has the key,
nourishes it, and then, instead of using it, puts it in his pocket.”

been collected from various British magazines and are accompanied by a
great number of illustrations.

“The book exhibits all those qualities which we are accustomed to look
for in Professor Ramsay’s writings; freshness of standpoint, flashes
of insight only possible to a scholar of rich and varied learning,
unflagging zest in the handling of his subject—a zest which
communicates itself to the reader—and that lucid and forcible style

=Randal, John.= Sweetest solace. $1.50. Dutton.

7–7197.

Gascoigne square, Whitborough, is made the scene of a pretty love
story in which two young girls from Australia come into the square as
mistresses of a board school. Here they meet a number of interesting
people, differing widely in character and social position, and here
the mystery of their father, who had lived his young life in this very
square, is unravelled, leaving them free to marry the two young men of
wealth and family who have come to love them. It is not the mystery,
however, which is uppermost for interest centers around the quaint
characters and their old prejudices: the social climbers, dear old
Miss Blackiston, wholehearted Ben Cox, Lord Streybridge, narrow-minded
Mrs. Petch, spiteful Miss Marston, and all the others.

“Criticism, quotation, narrative, and anecdote are so woven together
as to form a single piece.... Coleridge moves through the scenes, with
the divine light ever waning in his eyes; Lamb banters and praises;
Southey, Christopher North, Dr. Arnold, De Quincey, Scott, Rogers,
Keats, come and go, speak and listen, and range themselves in proper
perspective about the central, still lonely figure.”—Nation.

* * * * *

“Though well-read and in the main judicious, he occasionally makes odd
slips in his critical remarks. The style is always graceful and
dignified, and we do not hesitate to affirm that this is the best book
yet written for any one who wishes to breathe, so to speak, the very
atmosphere in which these men moved.”

6–11548.

The diary of a woman who loved a priest. “It is difficult to imagine a
twentieth-century Abelard receiving letters from an American Héloïse;
letters so quivering with intensity of emotion and with also a touch
of classicism that would have suited well the Renaissance spirit.”
(Ind.) “As for Katherine, if hers was a woman’s heart, then, indeed,
is a woman a daughter of Eve. She argued through years, got what she
wanted, and died for it.” (N. Y. Times.) The book “tells an
interesting story, altho its hold is purely psychical.” (Ind.)

there is no exaggeration in its pictures and there is no suppression
of realities.” (Ind.)

“I feel very confident that ‘Bohemia in London’ will prove a distinct
literary success. I can say with conviction that the book gives the
most life-like picture of that London quarter which the author sets

6–23736.

“As the preface states, ‘this book is written from the standpoint of
historic materialism.’ Its aim is to show how past forms of the family
and of the state have been determined by economic conditions,
especially by methods of production, and to demonstrate incidentally
that Marxian socialism is the only means of social salvation and the
natural goal of development. The author shows considerable
acquaintance with the socialist school of social and economic writers,
but beyond that his acquaintance with the scientific literature of the
subjects upon which he writes is very limited.”—Am. J. Soc.

7–18191.

“In the first instance it is intended for ‘undergraduate students in
philosophy,’ and is not supposed to assume any previous acquaintance
either with ethics or with general philosophy. In the second place, it
aims at working out an ethical theory which shall be in some sense a
higher synthesis of Green and Sidgwick, to whose memory the book is
dedicated.” (Lond. Times.) “In the first volume, Mr. Rashdall deals
with the fundamental conceptions of ethics.... In the second volume
the author examines what he regards as the metaphysical implications
of ethics, but he hardly proves the propriety of introducing such a
discussion Into a treatise on moral philosophy.” (Nation.)

* * * * *

“This treatise, though concerned with the investigation of profound
questions, is singularly successful in its avoidance of all
ponderosity and pedantry. Written in a pleasing style, it is readable
throughout. The problems discussed are clearly presented, the line of
argument is always developed with logical care and dialetical skill,
the discussions of even the most abstract questions are uniformly
lucid and illuminating. Much of the suggestive power of the work is
derived from the wealth of pertinent illustration, upon his abundant
store of which the author draws freely.” A. R. Gifford.

+ + =J. Philos.= 4: 548. S. 26, ’07. 1900w.

“In spite of the disadvantages incident to his plan, Dr. Rashdall has
produced a very readable and useful book. Without being strikingly
original his criticisms and contentions touch fundamental issues and
rest upon a full knowledge of ethical thought in the past as well as
of recent discussions. One of the features of the book is its
fairmindedness and moderation.”

=Rauschenbusch, Walter.= Christianity and the social crisis. **$1.50. Macmillan.

7–13925.

The author begins his study of tracing the relations of Christianity
to the social crisis as far back as the days of the greater Hebrew
prophets. He finds reasons for the “halting and groping,” conscience
of Christendom, “perplexed by contradicting voices” and finds reasons
for “freeing an honest man’s heart” on the maxims of the past and the
imperious call of the future.

* * * * *

“Of less value is the later and constructive part of the work where an
attempt is made to outline the immediate measures which should be
taken to mitigate the evils of our time. Such questions cannot be
successfully treated in the form of rhetorical appeals to somewhat
vague and elementary feelings and without a mastery of technical
economic reasoning which is not revealed in the work itself.” Charles
Richmond Henderson.

+ − =Dial.= 43: 249. O. 16, ’07. 170w.

“There is not room here to show the successive stages by which
Professor Rauschenbusch builds up his structure of thought to its
culmination: we can only say that nothing in it is set down in
carelessness or in ignorance, and that it cannot be ignored by any one
who would understand the social thought of today.”

The result of a sixty years’ study of campanology. “It is a work that
can scarcely fail to give satisfaction to any who are interested in
the story of bells, whether experts or novices. The Celtic, Saxon,
Norman, Plantagenet, and Tudor use of bells, and the history of the
later foundries are fully discussed; whilst other chapters tell of
particular dedications, of change-ringing, of chime barrels and
carillons, of handbells or tintinnabula, of bell usages and laws, and
of the legends and poetry to which they have given birth.” (Ath.)

A story that “has more to do with the antebellum Charleston than with

Ackroyd, the young professor of much intellect and worse than no
family, comes in contact with a wholly new social scheme of things
thru his position on the faculty of a great university. The daughter
of the head of his department stands for the world of culture he has
never known and the influence of these two characters upon each other

A handbook in which the author “traces the phenomena of the arts to
their sources in material nature and the human mind; he shows that the
different arts have been developed by similar methods and that these
methods characterize the entire work of artistic imagination.... There
are chapters on nature, art, beauty, artistic mental action, form, and
significance, the personality of the authors, art composition, rhythm
and proportion.... There are a large number of half-tone illustrations
and pen-and-ink sketches.” (N. Y. Times.)

“As a whole, the work lacks those psychological foundations which many
of us consider desirable in a treatise on aesthetics. As a result, the
