A sprightly story of a cultivated, fascinating Boston girl who in playing a surprising rôle brings a young Englishman off his “insular pedistal[P2: typo? pedestal].”

* * * * *

“It is to be strongly recommended for three reasons: its English is a pure joy, its veiled satire on American society is permeated with a rather rare quality of humour, and thirdly the question whether or not the Englishman who tells his story in the first person will eventually win the undeniably charming Bostonian lady, who may or may not be divorced, has beyond question a piquant interest that challenges approval.” F: T.

A biography based upon the author’s 1885 volume. “His aim in the larger as in the more compact book, however, is to present a literary biography. He points out that a biography of Poe has two special interests: it lies outside New England, and it embodies contemporaneous literary history apart from the lives of the other greater American writers. In the earlier volume, Mr. Woodberry tells us, he excluded much and suppressed much which he thought the world would let die. But this attempt to assist oblivion has proved fruitless. Every possible theory and surmise relating to Poe has been put forth, and in this work he has presented all matters of fact that have come to light.” (Outlook.)

“This book is a twentieth century edition of Malthus’ ‘Essay on population,’ with additions from modern biology, anthropology, ethnology, and medical science. Its author, who is a major surgeon in the United States army, calls it ‘an anthropological study.’ But it is really much more a work on the biological side of sociology, making very liberal use of anthropological data. The main interest of the author as is abundantly shown throughout the text is in the problem of the rise and decline of nations and civilizations.”—Econ. Bull.

* * * * *

“From one point of view it might be said to be a horrible example of what a biologist who has had no training in the social sciences may do in handling social and economic problems. In spite of its bizarre theories, however, it must be said that the work is a very suggestive one and deserves the attention of economists and sociologists.” C: A. Ellwood.

=Worth, Nicholas, pseud.=^{[11]} Southerner: a novel, being the
autobiography of Nicholas Worth. **$1.20. Doubleday.

9–26438.

“While the author claims that this book is a novel, it is really an indictment of a whole people. Nicholas Worth, the hero, is a Southern youth, who gets a Harvard education immediately after the civil war. Unfortunately, this education results in making him a man who feels better and different from his own kind, who secretly despises them for their faults, and who is only willing to impart to them the mind and virtues and standards of another people whom he admires more.”—Ind.

“The book combines sincerity with insight and, in vividly picturing from within the period of southern rehabilitation, has undoubted historical value. It will appeal only to the more serious reader.”

+ =A. L. A. Bkl.= 6: 136. D. ’09.

“The story of this man’s struggle for the betterment of his fellows, whether it be pieced together by fancy, or be literally the record of experience, makes one of the most genuine of books; it combines sincerity with insight, and deserves to be taken to heart by serious readers both North and South.” W: M. Payne.

+ =Dial.= 47: 387. N. 16, ’09. 280w.

“There can be no doubt that the criticisms are written from an intimate inside knowledge of Southern character, and that the book contains a truthful list of not only the faults and frailties of this people, but of their fallacious standards of value. No people, especially a choleric people like those of the South, endure being kicked by a highly educated little fellow, and Nicholas is a little fellow. This is one fault of the book. The reformer in it is too small a personality, too decimated by the kind of education he is trying to thrust upon others, too contemptuous, too unfriendly in spite of his protestations of devotion. The other fault of the book is this: By education and industry, the hero meant the kind of education and the kind of commercialism that has secularized and fattened the North and East.” Mrs. L. H. Harris.

+ − =Ind.= 67: 1090. N. 11, ’09. 1000w.

“It is the animus, the steady and strong and at times passionate rebellion against what may be called the forces of delay in the South, against whatever and whoever may be holding it back and keeping it apart, that gives to the book its force. The book would doubtless do more good than harm in the South if it should be widely and candidly read there. It is much more likely, however, to get a wide reading, and a rather too serious acceptance, in the North.”

− + =Nation.= 89: 511. N. 25, ’09. 1200w.

“Contains some very interesting pictures of life in one of the cotton states stretching over the period from the last year of the civil war to the present time and beyond, perhaps, for the narrative seems to deal somewhat in prophecy.

The tract, of course, spoils the novel—which, swamped as it is, shows in points the qualities of a real story of real people.”

Heeding a call to devote his life to the service of his fellow men, Dan Matthews naturally entered the ministry, and this story brings out clearly in its course how much more a church may value its rich members than its minister. In the face of the unchristian attitude of his church its lack of charity and sympathy with the unfortunate, the great dreams of its young minister are thwarted and he finds that he may serve humanity unhampered only outside the church which stands between him and the teachings of Christ as he interprets them. The love theme is closely interwoven with his problem as the trained nurse, whom he loves, and the doctor, who is his best friend, first open his eyes to the true condition of affairs.

A list of one hundred and sixteen birds which the author has observed in the nine years forms the principal part of the compact volume, and as the title suggests, is given not for general descriptive purposes, but as the record of feathered visitants actually seen in the garden.

A story whose heroes, John Nairne and Malcolm Frazer, are Highland officers who became seigneurs in the province of Quebec. “After the taking of Quebec, they settled on grants obtained on the shores of the St. Lawrence. Whatever the faults of the seigniorial system, they did not make themselves felt when it was worked by such men as John Nairne. He was keenly interested in the welfare of his tenants, promoting the clearing of the land and agricultural improvements of all kinds. He encouraged settlement, giving terms, which, as Professor Wrong reminds us, compare favourably with what an intending settler would receive to-day from a private owner or a land company. Not till much later did the seigniorial rights become burdensome. The story of John Nairne, of the fulfilment of his purposes, and of the sorrows of his life is deeply interesting.” (Spec.)

A story of the fifteenth century which follows a race feud in two Breton noblemen’s families. Siege of castle finds its parallel in the siege of hearts which latter warfare is participated in by steel-clad knights and high-spirited heroines.

* * * * *

“Without being a story which even the most conscientious consumer of fiction need feel bound to read, the ‘Gipsy count’ may amuse the idle, perhaps as well as some thousands of other such compositions.”

“Not remarkably well written, but fairly interesting and unobjectionable.”

“This transmogrified play makes a brisk and spirited narrative with rather crude and conventional characterization.”

“When all is said, an hour, even an undistinguished hour, in the presence of a colossal event, is better than many another thousand.”

+ − =Nation.= 88: 308. Mr. 25, ’09. 330w.

“It is all about the massacre of S. Bartholomew, and a Henry of Navarre and Marguerite of Valois who do not quite tally with the historical personages of those names; and swords clash and ladies’ eyes flash and cannons crash and doors bash and heads smash, and as for trash—but the mannerisms of Oriental storytellers are out of place.”

9–12090.

Six addresses delivered at Yale on the following subjects: The morals of trade in the making; Production; Competition; Credit and banking; Public service; Corporate and other trusts. “The aim of the book is to inquire candidly into the conduct of modern business on what may be termed the moral side. In it, many of the questions of right and wrong, which have arisen as a result of the great changes in the commercial world, are considered and answered by men of experience.” (Nation.)

Portrays the frank comradeship between a girl and boy of thirteen developed according to Christian science principles.

=Yexley, Lionel.=^{[7]} Inner life of the navy. *10s. 6d. Pitman &
sons, London.

“Though the book is in form an autobiography, its real substance is a description of naval routine, discipline, and custom, with special reference to recent and existing abuses, and the steps which have been taken for their removal. There is no need here to follow the author into detail; it will be enough to say that he understands clearly that even the most crying abuses are to be ascribed more frequently to routine and custom than original sin.”—Ath.

* * * * *

“There was undoubtedly room for such a book as this. Apart from his literary ability, which is considerable, Mr. Yexley is manifestly the right man to undertake the task. He is an unsparing but never a bitter critic of abuses; and the trouble which he has taken to reach the root of the matter enables him in most cases to indicate a line along which reform might well proceed.”

+ =Ath.= 1909, 1: 750. Je. 26. 1000w.

“We cannot always think his arguments reasonable or his unwavering confidence in the rightness of them justified, but a voice from the lower deck is most welcome, and, indeed, necessary.”

An elderly woman who keeps a “queerio” shop in London inherits ten thousand a year with the proviso that she must live with her next of kin until she marries or dies. Her experiences in living up to the standards of her relations open the way for unstinted humor.

* * * * *

“A jolly sort of book, kindly in spirit, a bit improbable in its premise, but all the more entertaining for that. The book is noteworthy for its clever character drawing.”

+ =N. Y. Times.= 13: 766. D. 12, ’08. 230w.

“It is quite a pleasant, cheerful book.”

=Young, F. E. Mills.=^{[6]} Chip. †$1.50. Lane.

“The scene is a farm in South Africa, near the borders of Swaziland, where a jilted Englishman rules his grumbling native labourers with a rod of iron, and nurses a bitter feeling against women. The theme of the story is the effect on his character of an exhibition of the feminine temperament through the medium of a young woman, disguised as a man, who becomes his partner. The secret, though soon guessed, is not told to the reader till late in the story; and considerable power is shown in the narration of the ugly incidents which follow the woman-hater’s discovery of her sex.”—Ath.

* * * * *

“A tale of unusual romantic interest.”

+ =Ath.= 1909, 1: 436. Ap. 10. 140w.

“The author exhibits some technical skill in dressing up old ideas and has produced a novel which serves very well the purpose for which it was doubtless intended—that of entertaining the reader without unduly exercising his mental faculties.”

=Young, Laurence Ditto.=^{[6]} Climbing Doom. †$1.50. Dillingham.

9–8995.

The experiences of a German scientist and party of Americans in South America who are lured by a wonderful emerald to seek others of its kind which they are informed repose in a treasure crypt in a mountain place called Cloud City. To reach the place they must risk the terrors of the Pass of the Climbing Doom infested by a poisonous Andean ant whose sting is death. The adventures which befall the strangely assorted company lend zest to the tale.

* * * * *

“As a series of unusual and exciting adventures the book is diverting, if the reader does not demand the finer arts of the novelist along with a daring and fertile fancy.”

+ − =N. Y. Times.= 14: 246. Ap. 17, ’09. 180w.

=Younghusband, Sir Francis Edward.=^{[12]} Kashmir. (Color books.)
*$6. Macmillan.

“Sir Francis Younghusband, who is responsible for the descriptive part of the book, has special qualifications for his task. He is at present the resident or representative of the government of India at the Court of the Maharajah of Kashmir and Jammu, has seen much, and travelled greatly in and about the Himalaya.... His remarks about travel, Srinagar and its neighbourhood, sport, and the people, are worth consideration by intending visitors. But apart from these there is information about the history of Kashmir, its administration, products, manufactures, and developments, of high interest.”—Ath.

* * * * *

“Is very pleasing, and conveys, chiefly by means of the pictures, a faithful representation of characteristic scenes in one of the most beautiful places in the world.”

+ =Ath.= 1909, 2: 490. O. 23. 380w.

“Sir Francis’s writing is much more than a gloss for the pictures, and fully describes the entire region.”

+ =Dial.= 47: 462. D. 1, ’09. 180w.

“Of the few Europeans who have explored the country none can speak with such authority as the author of this vividly interesting account. Sir Francis has found an able collaborator in Major Molyneux, whose pictures of Kashmir scenery, and especially of its mountain scenery, display remarkable gifts.”

+ =Int. Studio.= 39: 169. D. ’09. 300w.

“The specialist will find here the gist of Stein’s work and of the still more recent geological treatises of Burrard and Hayden, not mentioned only but discussed. Sir Francis Younghusband is himself no mean authority on the subjects he treats, though, curiously enough, for any save the most superficial reader the volume is logically to be read backwards.”

+ − =Nation.= 89: 601. D. 16, ’09. 500w.

“Whether describing the nature ... or whether describing the people of Kashmir, under Greek, Buddhist, Mohammedan, or British influences, the author seems equally interesting and impressive.”

+ =Outlook.= 93: 789. D. 4, ’09. 230w.

“Very charming book.”

=Yoxall, James Henry.=^{[6]} Wander years; being some account of
journeys into life, letters and art. *$2. Dutton.

9–27767.

A collection of essays “written ‘adagio non troppo lento’ ... on cathedrals, on politics, on rare china, on the wanderlust, and on Mr. and Mrs. John Bull, all written in a whimsically discursive fashion, with such an enthusiasm for bygone days that the proper accompaniments for their reading would be a Toby jug and a church warden. The volume will appeal to those who still find leisure to linger over a book for which the author selects this motto: ‘Signore walk aside with me; I have studied eight or nine wise words to speak to you.’”—N. Y. Times.

* * * * *

“He has knowledge of the subjects he treats—a rare phenomenon; he can reproduce with sympathetic touch the atmosphere of the scenes which he describes, notably when he goes to France; he has that artistic perception which is more often found in French writing than in English—he often admires the right thing, and knows why he ought to admire it. Yet side by side with admirable passages—such as some of his descriptions of Savoy—we find page after page of journalism of a style which sometimes descends to vulgarity and bad taste. Mr. Yoxall’s weakness is to try to imitate certain great authors whose style can be parodied, but not copied.”

+ − =Ath.= 1909, 1: 613. My. 22. 700w.

“The essays which centre about France contain Mr. Yoxall’s best work. The chief defects of Mr. Yoxall’s style are not found in his vocabulary.”

+ − =Nation.= 89: 123. Ag. 5, ’09. 420w.

“A most spontaneous, ingenious, and delightful book. It has the flavor of Thackeray’s stories of travel or of the ‘Sentimental journey’; and sometimes one finds in it the spirit, if not the letter, of the ‘Travels with a donkey.’ But, after all, one concedes to the book a whimsical originality which is as fresh as it is enjoyable.”

+ =N. Y. Times.= 14: 357. Je. 5, ’09. 800w.

“Possibly Mr. Yoxall is a little too allusive, a little too careless of connexion, and requires too much from the attention and the knowledge of his reader, though, indeed, it is scarcely a fault in an author when he demands a considerable amount of information before he can be properly understood. Anyhow, this is a delightful book,—to be taken, we may say, in sips rather than in draughts.”

=Zangwill, Israel.=^{[9]} Melting-pot: drama in four acts. *$1.25.
Macmillan.

9–7333.

The acting edition of Zangwill’s play that last season aroused from the stage and held under its spell the civic thinkers of the day. The young Russian Jew from Kishineff to whom the memory of the awful massacre, that left him an orphan is a hideous dream, turns to America the great crucible, the melting-pot, where, according to his hope, German, Frenchman, Irishman, Englishman, Jew and Russian will be fused into true citizens of the future America. The young reactionary is a musical genius and his theories, which the inexpert label socialistic, form the motifs of a wonderful American symphony with its note of the superman’s victory in the finale.

* * * * *

“The young Jew’s rhetorical raptures over the land of his adoption sound a jarring note in a play which, although not over-subtle, is wholesome, and has many touches of sympathetic characterization.”

=Bookm.= 30: 324. D. ’09. 1350w.

“The extraordinary idea of the function of America emanates, of course, from an author who is himself foreign in nationality and alien in race; it is the view of an outsider looking at us from afar.” Clayton Hamilton.

− =Forum.= 42: 434. N. ’09. 850w.
=Ind.= 67: 931. O. 21, ’09. 280w.

“Mr. Zangwill does not understand the American point of view. His play seems rather futile and unnecessary, both from the literary and the dramatic standpoint, while its ‘significance’ is difficult to discover.”

− =N. Y. Times.= 14: 562. S. 25, ’09. 650w.

“The play in book-form loses in effectiveness. It is a play rather to be seen, than read—or better, to be first seen, and then read.” James Oppenheim.

=Zayas Enriquez, Rafael de.= Porfirio Diaz; tr. by T. Quincy Browne,
jr. **$1.50. Appleton.

8–28076.

Includes a sketch of Diaz’s early military and political career; outlines the steps in the centralization of government under a constitution modeled after that of the United States; criticizes the recent policy of Diaz and shows that Mexico is headed towards a revolution which the president has it in his power to avert by a substitution of evolution.

* * * * *

“The book will contribute to a better understanding of Mexican conditions.”

+ =A. L. A. Bkl.= 5: 23. Ja. ’09.

“It is his concluding chapters of criticism, with their frank admissions and implications, that are of pertinent values.”

+ − =Ind.= 66: 375. F. 18, ’09. 1200w.

“Is the first piece of plain speech about the ruler of Mexico that has lately appeared in a form calling for serious attention. One feels that the author overestimates the importance of recent agitations and agitators; and that he is blind to the deadening influence of the absolutism that has prevailed. But in the last few chapters, which deal with present conditions, the author points out existing evils in words uncommonly plain for a Mexican.”

− + =Nation.= 87: 520. N. 26, ’08. 220w.

“It is a rather commonplace presentation of the early career of the Mexican President, followed by a very interesting account of the later evolution of his administration and of present conditions in Mexico.”

+ − =N. Y. Times.= 13: 522. S. 26, ’08. 400w.

“In this biography little is added to our knowledge of Porfirio Diaz. Facts, with many intimate details, are somewhat crudely set forth in this book, not always in logical sequence, for the author is in haste to fulfill a greater purpose.”

− + =Outlook.= 90: 836. D. 12, ’08. 1900w.

=Zollinger, Gulielma (William Zachary Gladwin, pseud.).=^{[10]} Boy’s
ride. †$1.50. McClurg.

9–24698.

A story of England during the time of John Lackland. Hugo Aungerville bearing a striking resemblance to Josceline, the heir of the DeAldithelys whom King John has demanded as a hostage, impersonates the young lord and leads the king’s men a merry chase across England while the real Josceline is given a chance to escape. With a serving man, Humphrey, the boy makes his way safely to France. Lord DeAldithely bestows knighthood upon him for his bravery and service and after the magna charta they return to England.

* * * * *

“Is vigorously written in a style exceptional among juveniles. The story is not over-stirring, but it is not commonplace.” M. J. Moses.

+ =Ind.= 67: 1366. D. 16, ’09. 50w.

“A book of frank adventure in a style, direct, forceful, and attractive.”

McLanehan: Holliday ed. †$1.50. McClurg.

An illustrated holiday edition of Miss Zollinger’s story of a brave-hearted little Irish girl whose bread winning problems were so easy in comparison with those that arose from the attempted interference of some shiftless relatives. How Maggie earned money to support herself and a small cousin and how the designing relatives were foiled by her good friend Barny Cloonon is interestingly told.
