“Undertakes the difficult task of covering in 150 pages the design of sewerage systems and sewage disposal works, the principles of land drainage and house sanitation, and sewer construction and maintenance. Manifestly, it has been impossible to treat of any of the subjects in more than an elementary way. Only 15 pages are devoted to sewage disposal, and even a smaller number to house sewerage. The most generally useful parts of the book are those on computing the flow in sewers, on the cost of sewers and on specifications.”—Engin. Rec.

“The subject seems to be systematically covered. The most of the line drawings are well adapted to the text. Many of the half-tone plates, however, are quite as appropriate to any other monograph in the series as to this one.”

ed., with introd. and notes, by Edwin Post. (College ser. of Latin
authors.) *$1.50. Ginn.

8–32373.

“The text is made to conform largely to Lindsay’s Oxford text, though the selection is not identical with, and much shorter than, that of the ‘Epigrammata selecta.’ Mr. Post therefore covers less ground than Messrs. Bridge and Lake, but his annotations are more thoroughgoing.... There is also an excellent introduction, in which the views of the best modern authorities, chiefly German, find a reasoned place. It traces the development of the epigram, and its culmination in the literary form which Martial made his own.”—Ath.

“The careful and scholarly notes are the characteristic feature of the book before us. The only fault we have to find with the Introduction is excessive and needless quotation. The selection of the text seems, on the whole, judicious.”

=Martineau, John.=^{[5]} Life of Henry Pelham, fifth duke of
Newcastle. 12s. Murray, John, London.

“Mr. Martineau tells his readers that this book was originally intended to deal only with the Duke of Newcastle’s administration of the war office during the Crimean war, and its interest is chiefly confined to the part of it which relates to that subject.” (Eng. Hist. R.) “With the aid of his diary, Mr. Martineau has constructed a portrait of ducal isolation, political impracticability, and grim Evangelicalism which is most instructive as showing what an unamiable thing aristocracy could be, when it tried, in the day before the Act of reform.” (Ath.)

of St. Andrews, Dunkeld, and Dunblane, and primus of the Scottish
church; formerly bishop of Truro. 2v. *$8. Longmans.

A careful biography of George Howard Wilkinson, organizer and preacher, prophet and saint, a man with no special claims to eloquence who was essentially simple and spiritual.

* * * * *

“The biographer, Dr. Mason, deserves to be praised for his admirable work. The narrative is always clear and never dull, and he allows the man of the book to reveal himself. He should have known, however, that the Episcopal church is not the church of Scotland, and that there is no Primus of Scotland, as he should have known that Gawain Douglas was not the first Scottish poet.”

A story of love and mystery in which figure prominently a rector, his curate and the young woman with an Oriental touch for whose hand the two men are rivals. “That both men are in love with the mysterious Miss Motte gives human zest to their spiritual contests, and affords a chance for one of them to turn defeat into moral victory.” (Nation.)

9–9552.

“A collection of articles written by the author as she moved about the Peninsular from city to city. Its chapters are not related one to another, and are quite dissimilar in respect to form and style, although they have as their common purpose the purveyance of instruction about the history, art, literature, scenery, and other characteristics of Italy and the Italian people. The book includes chapters on Naples, Rome, Florence, Perugia, Verona, Siena, and the Apennines.”—N. Y. Times.

“Enthusiastic and sprightly account.”

+ =A. L. A. Bkl.= 6: 45. O. ’09. ✠

“It did, indeed, irritate us, as we read, to find our intelligent countrywoman thus ready to touch upon these various difficult and delicate matters, and to publish in print sentiments and opinions so little tested and sifted. Mrs. Mason may have written in haste and may not have seen proof; but the patrons of her publishers surely pay for careful writing and proof-reading, and editing too.”

9–27751.

A book that “first tells what the elements of music are and the principles which govern the use of those elements in musical structure; then it takes up in turn the piano, the orchestra, the opera, and characteristic features of music heard at a pianoforte recital, an orchestral concert, and an operatic performance.”—Outlook.

“The book is strongly recommended.” M. J. Moses.

+ =Ind.= 67: 1369. D. 16, ’09. 30w.

“The music-teacher will find Dr. Mason’s ‘Guide’ invaluable; its instruction is done, not by any educational didacticism, but by an entertaining discussion, in which the style is conversational and the spirit unspoiled by any condescension or superiority.”

+ =Lit. D.= 39: 1020. D. 4, ’09. 130w. + =Nation.= 89: 598. D. 16, ’09. 50w.

“The book, which covers its ground skillfully, thoroughly, and, best of all, interestingly, could be properly understood by older children only; but in the hands of a discerning teacher, it could be made fascinating for the youngest of little piano players.”

+ =N. Y. Times.= 14: 807. D. 18, ’09. 80w.

“Its title seems to limit its usefulness. It is called ‘A child’s guide to music,’ but it is in fact a guide that any listener would find illuminating and that even professional critics of musical performances might read profitably. No writer on musical subjects is sounder in his judgments, clearer in his thinking, or more successful in the expression of his ideas than Mr. Mason.”

=Mason, Daniel Gregory.=^{[8]} Orchestral instruments and what they
do: a primer for concert-goers. **$1.25. Baker.

9–14964.

“A popular condensation of the contents of various scientific treatises on orchestration, of which those by Berlioz and Gavaert are the most important. The descriptions of the various instruments of the orchestra are reinforced by photographs of them as played, as well as by brief illustrations from well-known scores showing how the various composers have employed the several voices of the orchestra; and the attentive reader may gain a fair idea of the particular problem which the composer of orchestral music has before him.” (Dial.)

* * * * *

“A simple, accurate text, written for the untrained concert goer.”

+ =A. L. A. Bkl.= 6: 18. S. ’09.

“The author has been fairly successful in accomplishing what he set out to do.”

+ =Dial.= 47: 51. Jl. 16, ’09. 230w.

“He calls it ‘a primer for concert-goers,’ and has written it in such a simple and clear style that the veriest tyro can understand and profit by it. On the other hand, there are many hints which will help even veterans by calling their attention to subtleties in orchestral coloring that may have escaped their attention.”

+ =Nation.= 89: 335. O. 7, ’09. 450w.

“It will serve a useful purpose, for many who go to such concerts constantly are surprisingly ignorant of the different instruments. The pictures, we are fain to believe, are the most valuable feature of the book, and it is one that has not been utilized in such an excellent manner in any other book of the kind.”

9–18059.

The story of an intrepid young college man who, quite down on his luck, enters upon a series of marvellous adventures when once he has tasted success thru substituting wit for ready cash. He begins by ordering four or five hundred dollars worth of clothes and leasing an eighteen thousand a year apartment—this not only on nothing a year but nothing a month.

A bright story of a New York girl whose inclination to emancipate herself from the traditional social thraldom meets with an ambitious mother’s determined rebuff. While she is dutifully trying to cultivate a submissive attitude of mind for a début she goes abroad and meets John Reeve engaged in philanthropic work among the Waldensian Italians. Their romance and her father’s loss of millions combine to bring the mother around to a normal point of view.

1st ed. W9–39. 2nd ed. 9–8735.

A translation of the author’s “Causeries d’Égypte.” It is a collection of a number of Professor Maspero’s “articles that have appeared over his signature at various times, dealing with all the most important Egyptological discoveries, whether made by English or American spades in temples and tombs, or by German pairs of spectacles in papyri and inscriptions, during the last fifteen years.” (Nature.)

* * * * *

“Limited in interest to students of Egyptology, for whom it is a good supplementary volume.”

+ =A. L. A. Bkl.= 5: 142. My. ’09.

“As for the translation, the best that can be said for it is that it very seldom entirely misrepresents the meaning of the author, though it is far from giving any idea of his clear and brilliant style. It is worth while to translate M. Maspero’s lighter articles for the benefit of those readers who cannot appreciate them in the original, but we think that the work should have been handed to an expert.”

+ − =Ath.= 1909, 1: 98. Ja. 23. 450w.

“Criticism may be offered, in spite of the note which the author has prepared on the subject on the method of transliterating native names. Deserves a place on the shelves of those who are interested in things Egyptian, and who desire to extend the field and content of their knowledge.”

+ − =Nation.= 88: 333. Ap. 1, ’09. 420w.

“The book is translated, on the whole, extremely well. But blemishes can be taken out in a second edition of the book, which, it is to be hoped, will appear in a few years’ time with additions, and with one or two articles, which are somewhat out of date, such as that on ‘Archaic Egypt,’ omitted.” H. R. Hall.

“This book bids fair to hold an honored place among the books useful to the general reader. It seems ungracious to find the fly in such a pot of ointment, but it is there in the shape of the French spelling of the names of Pharaohs, persons and places which occur in the hieroglyphic texts.”

9–13924.

The author “seeks to analyze present methods of treating crime, and suggests a system extending from so-called primary industrial schools, to which children under fourteen shall be committed, to convict prisons which, with classifications, shall contain life prisoners and habitual criminals. Intermediate stages in the treatment of criminals are outlined through secondary industrial schools and reformatories.”—Survey.

“The first two chapters dealing in a general way with crime are rambling and incoherent. The subject matter of the volume is good and deserves attention.”

+ − =Ann. Am. Acad.= 34: 607. N. ’09. 140w.

“Poor English, lack of index, bad typography—one wonders whether his proofs were read at all—cannot hide the fact that Col. Masten is a sincere and sound, if not very original, reformer. And his faults are perhaps the faults of his virtues. He is a worker, not a writer.”

+ − =N. Y. Times.= 14: 440. Jl. 17, ’09. 700w.

“It may be questioned whether Colonel Masten’s book throws much new light upon prison management or prison problems. One misses in it what might be specially expected in a treatment of penology written by an Elmira official, namely, the careful study of reformatory statistics, and an intensive and individual study of the prisoners.” O.

“We wish he had retained enough spirit for polemic; some strong belief which served him as a clue through the bewildering maze of the English life he describes. As it is, the book is depressing, saddening, and we are perplexed by an accumulation of disheartening facts and opinions which lead us to nothing but sheer pessimism.”

− =Sat. R.= 107: 786. Je. 19, ’09. 1250w.

“It is a brilliant picture, constructed with quick and facile phrases, but we have seldom read anything more depressing. It was a mistake for Mr. Masterman to impose on himself a superficial impartiality. We are not as a rule in favour of ‘blinkers’ for man or beast, but in Mr. Masterman’s case we are sorely tempted to recommend that he be provided with a pair. Then perhaps he will not think everything he passes on the road of life a bogy, and conclude it to be his duty to ‘shy’ at it, and then ‘jib,’ as a protest.”

8–29608.

“Another excursion of a professional economist into the precincts of sociology. The thesis of the book is, that while there has been an enormous change in the methods and quantity of production, distribution has not changed, but is still on the old basis of manager taking the lion’s share. The panacea for the ills of distribution is found in public ownership, and this thesis is argued interestingly in ten chapters: Introduction; The sources of wealth; Capital’s illegitimate function the key to distribution; Basis of distribution wrong; Land-rent, a gratuity; Interest makes no discrimination; The wage system; the step from legal into economic slavery; Profits, a gratuity; The second distribution; Public ownership the source of permanent improvement.”—Am. J. Soc.

* * * * *

“A very interesting contribution of a professional economist to the sociological doctrine of the conflict of classes. The one-sided overemphasis on the economic struggle is significant, because it once more furnishes silent, but potent evidence for the raison d’être of modern sociology as an academic discipline, and a factor in the intellectual life of society.” H.

“It is sprightly, entertaining, clear, at times even forcible—though rarely—and one ought to get ‘forrarder’ with it. Yet one doesn’t. Perhaps the reason is that there is an odd lack of accent and a judicious weighing of opposites which efface every impression about as soon as it is made.”

“Describes lightly and humorously her experiences with her maid in and about Johannesburg and other places in South Africa after the war. There is an occasional touch of the pathetic aftermath of war, and now and again we get a bright thought. Mrs. Maturin’s idea is that ‘to analyse life is to spoil it.’ The simple life on trek is her way to happiness.”—Sat. R.

9–15509.

“Jena, as the author rightly holds, marks the point at which the French revolution imposed on Europe the theory of the loosely trained armed nation, which at the present day lies with other factors, at the back of the Pacifist movement. But was Europe right? Did not the Prussian battalions really demonstrate that the small army of highly trained long-service soldiers is superior to the loosely trained mass? That is the author’s thesis; and without forcing us to agree with his extreme conclusions, he proves the case, as have most of his predecessors from Klausewitz to de Bonnal, that it was only in the higher command that the Prussians really failed.”—Nation.

“An unusual book that should attract readers from a wider circle than the special students of military history to whom it is addressed. While disagreeing with many of the author’s historical generalizations, and with a few of his details, we can praise his volume highly for its grasp of the military facts, and for its suggestiveness. The only serious criticism to which he is open on his subject proper is that he does not ascribe to the movements of St. Hilaire nearly enough importance.”

9–3205.

A story at the center of which is a daughter’s responsibility in urging a brother on to redeem the honor of the house that had been besmirched by a father who had unconscionably followed the broad way to a felon’s cell. Her lover, “the explorer,” aids her in the task by taking the brother off to Africa, and trying to enlist him in the cause of empire-building. The failure to make a man of him, and the hero’s self-sacrifice and hardships are compensated for in the expedition’s final victory for the British empire.

“A creditable novel of modern life.”

+ =Ath.= 1908, 1: 9. Ja. 4. 230w.

“The faults of the book are its lack of proportion and its occasional sketchiness. Having drawn his characters so carefully, Mr. Maugham might well have devoted more space to their interaction, which is often indicated rather than expressed.”

“In this extraordinary book Mr. Maugham plays alternately the parts of the Balzac of the ‘Peau de chagrin,’ the Du Maurier who created Svengali, and an H. G. Wells consistently logical in his most fantastic moments.... Oliver Haddo is a repulsive student of the black art who by his psychic power not only takes possession of a young surgeon’s betrothed, but also creates in her a corrupted secondary personality, and finally kills her in his successful attempt to create Paracelsian ‘homunculi.’”—Ath.

* * * * *

“Mr. Maugham has in an especial degree the art of controlling his machinery and piling up unobtrusive proofs when they are needed; and, on the whole, the illusion is about as complete as could fairly be demanded. The lighter parts of the book show keen humour and observation.”

Following this the flight of birds and kites is discussed, and the author’s experiments with screws and supporting aeroplanes are recorded; while other important material is found in the appendices.

* * * * *

“One of the best treatises on the science of aeronautics, helpfully illustrated.”

+ =A. L. A. Bkl.= 5: 106. Ap. ’09.

“The flight of birds and kites is discussed and then follows the part really important to students of aeronautics—the account of the author’s early experiments with screws and supporting aeroplanes.

“The text is by the Right Hon. Sir Herbert Maxwell, who dips his pen deep in the love of all growing things, and the full page colored illustrations are from the paintings by Mary G. W. Wilson. After a dissertation on Scottish gardens in general, the author takes up, in separate chapters, over thirty different gardens, making altogether a representative selection of garden types, old and new.” (N.

In his new book Mr. Maxwell “gives his readers in detail the story of a younger son who unexpectedly succeeds to a peerage and great possessions. Seymour Charlton, the hero, falls in love with a girl of the middle class and marries her on his accession to his new dignities.... He is, in fact, a young gentleman who, though serious in mind, is quite incapable of doing any work except on the surface of things. He suffers from this fault in politics and in business. In the latter walk of life he comes to grief, and only saves his name and honor by sacrificing the whole of his private possessions to satisfy the claims of shareholders in the company of which he is chairman.”—Spec.

The period of Exploration covers the Astor project and the long contest with England for the fur-trade and the possession of the territory.... The early period of statehood is described as marked by an extravagance of public expenditure, which was, however, corrected under later administrations.
