Whether we agree with the author’s rather tenuous theories and

=Taylor, Ida Ashworth.= Queen Hortense and her friends, 1783–1837. 2v. *$6. Scribner.

A fair-minded study of the life of Napoleon’s step-daughter, Hortense
de Beauharnais. The author says “Hortense has not been permitted to
make her defense to the public. Her confessions, perhaps her
justifications, remain as she left them, unprinted, and it is upon the
data supplied by contemporaries that posterity must form its
conclusions.”

complete account of her in any language.” George M. Dutcher.

“A truthful and forcible sketch of the most widely known and most
interesting of the heroic band that gave their lives for the faith
under Elizabeth.”—Cath. World.

* * * * *

“Notwithstanding its aloofness from sympathy with Southwell’s cause,
this short biography does full justice to the holiness of the man, to
his remarkable and winning character; and does not slur over the
baseness of the creatures who hunted him to death. The simple style of
the narrative sets forth, more adequately than would florid periods,
the grandeur of the man and his deeds.”

The story of the journeyings of saints from Palestine to the West in
the early days of the Christian era. Mr. Taylor writes of the comings
of both the Hebrew and the later Greek missionaries, and in his
account he has mingled both history and legend.

* * * * *

“It may not satisfy the technical critics of the writings of the
sub-Apostolic age; but all will admit that it is a well-written,
interesting and discriminating narrative.” J. Charles Cox.

+ =Acad.= 71: 328. O. 6, ’06. 1200w.

“This is no ordinary book. With much patient learning, and careful,
sympathetic study of all the reputed resting-places of the early
saints, Mr. Taylor weaves together the frail but fine threads that
link the Christianity of tradition with the Christianity of the Bible,
and both of these with the histories of Gaul and Britain.”

“If, instead of constructing imaginary histories, he had endeavored to
account for the rise of these legends, he might have added a chapter

=Taylor, Sedley.= Indebtedness of Handel to works by other composers. *$4. Putnam.

7–27021.

Two centuries of accumulated evidence go to show that Handel was a
plagiarist. Mr. Taylor brings together the results of the careful
investigation on the part of capable authorities. “The main object of
this book appears to be the presentation, by a simplified process, of
the materials necessary to enable every intelligent person to compare
passages in Handel’s music with the sources from which they have been
derived.” (Sat. R.)

7–31176.

The Frithiof saga which narrates the stirring adventures of Frithiof,
a hero of the Northland and viking of its seas, is “noble, heroic, and
free from exaggerated description or overwrought sentiment.... The
central motives of the saga are his love for King Bele’s daughter,
Ingeborg; the refusal of her brothers to sanction their marriage
because the hero is not of royal birth; her unwilling marriage to the
old King Ring; Frithiof’s exile and final union with Ingeborg.”

=Teller, Charlotte.= The cage. †$1.50. Appleton.

7–9551.

A novel built up along the lines of socialism, with its setting in the
lumber-yard districts of Chicago. A preacher of the gospel whose point
of view is “We must teach these working people to respect the laws of
the land,” a young Austrian socialist whose opinion is, “We must
change the laws so that they can be respected,” an “egotistical
philanthropic employer” and a group of women, subordinating their
ideas to the men whose opinions they respect, occupy the stage of the
drama.

Lady Tennant permits the figures in the pictures of the Tennant
collection to come to life, step down from their canvases, and tell
her children tales of the life and times which they helped to make.
“Thus the real children who have been taught to love them in their
frames play with Beppo, Dolores, the Leslie boy, and Charlotte and
Harry Spencer, who tell the story of their kidnapping by the
gipsies.... Lady Crosbie flits by, looking ‘permanently mischievous;’
and Peg Woffington rustles about the passages, sometimes finding the
children a nuisance.” (Ath.)

The method used in this comparative study of religion “consists,
briefly, in applying the principles of natural selection and the
survival of the fittest to the great religions of the world, with a
view to ascertaining which may justifiably claim pre-eminence on a
basis of concrete services rendered to mankind.” (Outlook.) Social
betterment is used as the basis for the test of conditions which
appear in countries under the sway of Brahmanism, Buddhism,
Confucianism, Mohammedanism and Christianity. “In each case his
examination comprises distinct sociological departments—as, the
condition of women and children, the individual situation,
philanthropic and charitable measures, educational facilities.”
(Outlook.)

The ingredients out of which Miss French compounds her “Lion’s
share” are many and varied: high finance with accompanying
intrigue, kidnapping and consequent detective work, and love and
adventure to suit the most satiated appetite. The hero is a United
States army officer who occupies the centre of the stage and is
champion-in-general. “When the time comes for him either to uphold
the laws and constitution of his country as he has sworn to do, or
protect and aid his relatives in a criminal proceeding, he decides
on the latter course, easing his conscience by resigning his
commission.” (N. Y. Times.)

“Miss French’s book, however, is certainly built on lines calculated

Katherine Crichton marries a big-hearted, broad-minded man whose work
principles she does not understand, and therefore nurses unhappiness
as a result of fancied neglect. An accident results in a physical
state that promises her only two years of life, and she determines to
give herself up to happiness and the romance which had been denied
her. How her husband spares her the ignominy of dishonor and restores
her to her home is handled with keen perception and an understanding
of genuine nobility of heart.

violate the uncle’s dying request to guard the sacred book of the sect
until it could be turned over to one of the leaders. He copies it word
for word, finds that the Mystics look forward to the appearing of a
prophet, decides to play the rôle himself and to appear at the proper
moment, his one aim being to secure the money out of which these
people had defrauded him. His course leads to a dramatic though

=Thwaites, Reuben Gold, ed.= Early western travels, 1748–1846; a series of annotated reprints of some of the best and rarest contemporary volumes of travel, descriptive of the aborigines and social and economic conditions in the middle and far West, during the period of early American settlement. 31v. ea. *$4. Clark, A. H.

4–6902.

Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.

“These volumes, as is usual in the series, are well edited. The
reviewer suspects—only suspects because he has not been able to
compare the reprint with the original edition—that there are a few
errors in proof-reading; but these would not be worth mentioning were
it not for the high standard already set for the workmanship of the
series.”

=A. L. A. Bkl.= 3: 106. Ap. ’07.

“One cannot but regret that the author has not seen fit to describe
the highest type of university as it exists today in this country, and
to present a view of higher education in its latest and finest aspects
with the particularity and appreciation which he devotes to its
beginnings in the early colonial days.” J. B. P.

=Tilley, Arthur Augustus.= François Rabelais. (French men of letters, v. 3.) **$1.50. Lippincott.

7–29040.

A biographical and critical study of Rabelais written for the “French
men of letters” series. The author’s familiarity with his subject and
his comprehensive study of sources, have resulted in an authoritative
narrative which assumes less knowledge on the part of readers than as
tho it had been written for Frenchmen.

“Let it be said at once, and with all frankness, that it is the very
work to be consulted by anyone who wants to be well instructed in the
known facts concerning Rabelais. It is when we cease to consider facts
and dates and such matters that Mr. Tilley becomes tiresome and quite
ineffectual.”

A timely companion for every one who drives a car, containing over six
hundred questions with answers. It covers the ground of the
principles, the operation and the care of gasoline automobiles.

“The possession of the book obviates the necessity for the new car
owner’s ‘cramming’ with a mass of befuddling details at the outset,
and enables him gradually to acquire a working knowledge of his
machine as necessity demands it.”
