Material that came to light with the publication of the naval records

Alabama’s officers, and by various consular reports. The material

=Goodrich, Arthur Frederick.= Gleam o’ Dawn. †$1.50. Appleton.

8–17835.

A story of the Canadian border whose hero is a young half-breed, a
poet in feeling and an artist in expression. The spiritual within him
wars against the elemental savage desire to avenge the death of his
mother, Gleam o’Dawn, who had been deserted by his white father. On
the side of vengeance he is spurred on by an Indian who had been his
father’s rival; the white path of forgiveness is urged by the “li’l
brown girl” whom he loves. Repentance, revenge, tragedy and conquest
are the subjective notes of the book.

=Gosse, Edmund William.= Henrik Ibsen. (Literary lives.) **$1.
Scribner.

7–41565.

A biography which sketches the influences, positive and negative, that
set the great poet to weaving such an individual life tapestry.
Ibsen’s adventures as an author are recorded with an idea single to
their unity. There is no attempt to set forth the plots of his dramas,
nor to treat the spurious “lessons” and supposititious “problems”
which so many look for in Ibsen, but to recognize among the
“irregularities and audacities,” qualities of merit Mr. Gosse says
that it has been Ibsen’s misfortune to attract people who “treat all
tulips and roses as if they were cabbages for the pot of didactic
morality.” The closing chapters deal with his last years, and his
personal and intellectual characteristics.

“Mr. Gosse has by no means, as he seems to think, made ‘obsolete’ the
standard biography of Ibsen by Henrik Jaeger. That solid performance
is likely to outlast many such books as the one Mr. Gosse has given
us, agreeable and informing as it is, and it hardly becomes him to
belittle a work which is so much more searching and philosophical than
his own.”

+ − =Dial.= 44: 108. F. 16, ’08. 480w.

“Mr. Gosse’s life of Ibsen is well fitted to supplement the running
commentary of Mr. Archer’s introduction. We have in English no other
book which gives what we need to know about the man and his methods to
understand his achievements.”

+ + =Ind.= 64: 921. Ap. 23, ’08. 350w.

“Mr. Gosse’s book is more complete than those of Jaeger and Rudolph
Lothar, and it is also more concise; but it falls short of both in
understanding and in sympathy. The figure of Ibsen reflected by the
curved mirror of Mr. Gosse’s mind is almost a caricature. Still the
book is not without merits. It is briskly written, though not always
in good taste, and it gives a fairly just estimate of the plays.”

of a singular combination of painstaking care and sympathetic feeling

7–41081.

A work which makes its appeal to the physician, alienist, lawyer and
layman. The author believes in responsibility for the diseased as much
as for the criminal, and maintains that the question, Should the
accused be punished or should he be treated? ought to be considered.
The object of the book is to demonstrate that to this burning question
the magistrate, assisted by the physician, may make three different
replies according to the case in hand: (1) The accused criminal is
entirely responsible ... he ought to be put into prison; (2) The
accused criminal is entirely irresponsible ... he ought to be treated
and placed in a hospital; (3) The accused criminal has attenuated
responsibility ... he ought to be both punished and treated.

Mrs. Allonby, the wife of a London novelist, tiring of fogs, and
piqued over her husband’s failure to regard as necessities five new

two. The first is that in the course of the three centuries ... the
Norman and the Gaelic elements in the population had coalesced so as
to produce a race practically homogeneous and a civilisation
distinctly national. The second is that the independent national life
thus evolved was wantonly arrested from unworthy motives of mercantile
jealousy by the policy of the Tudors, and trampled underfoot by the
violence of their agents in the Irish wars of the sixteenth
century.”—Sat. R.

The record of a trip which the author took with Buffalo Jones, known
as the preserver of the American bison, across the Arizona desert, and
of a hunt in “that wonderful country of yellow crags, deep canons and
giant pines.” The author fulfils his desire to show the color and
beauty of painted cliffs and blue-bell dotted aisles in the forests;
to give a suggestion of the tang of the dry, cool air; and to throw
light upon the life and nature of the remarkable character, Buffalo
Jones.

“A fascinating, out-of-door book, full of the charm of the desert and
the cañon.”
