“This book is divided into two parts. In the first part, for
beginners, the various drawing instruments in common use are
described, and a series of exercises is given to illustrate the use of
each of the instruments. The rest of this section is devoted to
examples in simple projection, to intersections, of solids, and
development of surfaces. Part 2, for more advanced students, comprises
problems in descriptive geometry, isometric projection, oblique
projection, shadows, and perspective work, and concludes with a series
of problems.”—Nature.

“This is a letter written in 1754 by Ruth Starbuck Wentworth to her
mother. Besides relating the amusing story of the first teabrewing
that ever took place on Nantucket, it traces the romance of Ruth
Wentworth and Captain Morris, which began and ended while the letter

improvement of manufacture and in the mutual relations between makers

The growth, not only of Dugald Dalgleish, the hero, the son of an
obscure nonconformist minister, who from a student at the University
of Edinburgh develops into a popular preacher, but also the growth,
mental and spiritual, of his friend Thatcher, who becomes a priest of
Rome, is chronicled in the course of this tale of inward struggle.
Judith Lemaistre, the big doctor, the woman Dugald marries, and many
other characters worth knowing, take their leisurely way thru the
story, which with its religious background and earnest Scotch
atmosphere is very different from the usual novel of today.

=Toffteen, Olaf A.= Ancient chronology. Pt. 1. Published for the Oriental society of the Western Theological seminary. *$2.50. Univ. of Chicago press.

7–36124.

A volume which covers the ancient chronology of Palestine, Assyria,
Babylonia, and Egypt down to 1050 B. C. The first chapter treats
biblical chronology solely on the basis of the dates furnished by the
Bible, taking them at their face value, and without any inquiry,
either into the age of the documents, or into their historicity; the
second chapter contains a full treatment of the ancient history of
these countries; and the third is devoted to Egyptian chronology.

Full of disagreement with the “universal adulation,” in fact,
iconoclastic thruout, Tolstoy argues, among other things, that
Shakespeare is lacking in the very point of excellence that by general
consensus of the world’s opinion earned for him the right to be called
an imperial genius, namely, delineation of character.

education of peasant children; Popular stories, including What men
live by; A fairy tale, which contains Tolstoy’s indictment of

illuminate the descriptive matter. At the end of each chapter is a
series of questions bearing upon it, as on aid to fixing the subject
matter thereof in the memory of the student.”—Engin. N.

7–8253.

In this poetic drama “there are four acts, the first two being
separated from the others by a score of years. The first half of the
work gives us the Paris school and Fulbert’s villa, the second half of
Paraclete and Chalons. The dramatic handling of the story is spirited
and rapid.”—Dial.

* * * * *

“To his close study of the sources we owe the thousand vivid
historical details that are woven into the vigorous give and take of
the dialogue with fine, dramatic and poetic effect. In the matter of
structure, however, there is a question whether Mr. Torrence’s play
has not lost its effectiveness through his endeavor to give the whole
story as it is in the books.” Ferris Greenslet.

“Nor can it be said that the poet’s style has changed for the better.
There is a general air of strain; his metaphors frequently pall before
he has done with them, and his metre has a way of being so free as to
be crabbed.” H. W. Boynton.

− + =No. Am.= 185: 86. My. 3, ’07. 1440w.

“Is disappointing when one reflects upon what one demands of so high a
theme. The ejaculatory method of speech in the first twenty pages is
nothing less than exasperating, and one wonders if no one will ever
stand still long enough to utter a finished sentence. The character of
Abelard is so weak and vacillating as to make the love of Heloise seem
unworthy.” Louise Collier Willcox.

of genealogical and other tables, including a list of ministers and
governments since 1689.”—Nation.

“comprehensive review of the origin and development of the whaling
industry from colonial times to the present. The volume has its
particular value in the fact that it is the only complete history of
its kind both as regards time and treatment. As the author pointed
out, the latest work on the subject in question appeared in 1876 but
the discussion was superficial, especially of the whole period after
1815.” (Yale R.)

“This genus embraces forty-three species, of which the best known is
the common potato beetle. Starting with the distribution of the group,
Professor Tower passes to individual variation in color pattern, size,

coloration in these and other insects; experimental modification of
the colors and the significance of the various hues and patterns, both

A complete manual for students. “In plan it is a text-book and pocket

surveying, while as a manual it gives many practical suggestions and

Mr. Tracy uses his well-tested ingredients again,—the sea, shipwreck,
fights with cannibals, hairbreadth escapes, etc. “He has valiantly
succeeded in making the primary colours once more effective. Even in
Chile the black angel whose disciple puts sticks of dynamite among the
coals of a seagoing steamer is not ill-served. The voyage of that
steamer is a triumph of pyrotechnical narrative, assisted by a map....
Peril from cannibals obliges a physician to reserve a bullet for the
heroine, but Ossa on Pelion could not have flattened the good cherub
who looked after her and her lover.” (Ath.)

A side-light on the divorce problem. It upholds the “higher inner law
of love itself which in itself is the highest freedom,” and which is

=Tucker, T. G.= Life in ancient Athens: the social and public life of a classical Athenian from day to day. *$1.25. Macmillan.

7–4807.

Athens during the hey-day of its classical period is portrayed, the
time when Athenian life stood for vigorous vitality and unblemished
character. It is mainly of the things that have been too well
preserved in antiquities for time to efface that Mr. Tucker writes;
actual events, actual buildings; knowledge of manners, customs,
ideals; of Attic virtues, vices, weaknesses, humors, drolleries; and
knowledge of what law and society allowed.

* * * * *

“If we must criticise, we would cast a doubt upon the statement that
the Athenians were a mixed race. We can find no evidence of an Achaean
strain in their ancestry. Nor do we hold that the Greek tongue was a
Homeric importation. And to speak of the Propylæa as a ‘triumphal
arch’ is surely misleading to the novice in these matters. Apart from
these points, our only quarrel with Professor Tucker is the complete

Mr. Tunison’s aim is “to popularize the investigations of the learned,

dramatic tendencies appeared in western Europe during the middle ages
were directly inspired by Byzantium.” (Nation.) “The book is a mine of
interesting facts about social, religious, and literary life, as

“It is obvious, then, that Mr. Tunison’s evidence cannot always be

“The book presents a very satisfactory compilation. Great care has
been taken to acknowledge all indebtedness to British publications; to
French, German and American authors small consideration is shown.”

=Tybout, Ella Middleton.= The smuggler. †$1.50. Lippincott.

7–31227.

Three American girls seek refuge from hayfever on a Canadian island
and instead of passing an uneventful summer they find themselves
involved in a series of strange happenings by a band of clever
smugglers who pose as their friends and use them as a blind to pass
their ill-gotten goods over the border. The story is told in a
sprightly fashion and there is a pretty love tale and two not so
pretty but more dramatic. All in all, it is an interesting novel with
a pleasing mixture of love, mystery, adventure, tragedy and humor.

“Mr. Tylee’s more ambitious pieces have a certain careful timeliness,
a skilful obviousness that gives them rather the attraction of an
eloquent leading article than of poetry.”

The author evidently agrees with Spencer that “man’s first duty is to
become a good animal.” “While the book deals mainly with bodily growth
and development, the writer is led naturally by his subject into the
field of moral and intellectual culture. He recognizes the importance
of character-forming agencies in all periods, but justly emphasizes
the high school as the time of final determination.” (Dial.)
