Chapter IX: Preface (9)

“‘Eduard’s traum,’ even in its present emasculated version, is interesting, and, while the dreamer’s adventures in the world of pure forms would probably appeal most to the risibles of a Pythagoras or a Euclid, his encounters with philosophers and philanthropists have a fine satiric flavor.”

=Butler, Edward.=^{[11]} Carburettors, vaporisers, and distributing
valves used in internal combustion engines. *$2. Lippincott.

“The object of this treatise is to present information specially useful to engineers, designers, and others engaged in constructing internal combustion engines for automobiles, stationary and marine engines. The book is confined to the discussion of carburettors for use with gasoline and similar volatile fuels, vaporisers for use with kerosene and crude oils, admission and exhaust valves, and two-cycle and valveless engines. As would naturally be expected, the book refers most largely to English practice, although the practice of continental manufacturers is quite well represented and some of the more prominent American designs are shown.”—Engin. N.

“He presents in a clear and concise form valuable information.”

+ =Engin. D.= 6: 337. O. ’09. 140w.

“The book should be useful for any engineer engaged in any way in the design of internal combustion engines. It covers a limited but nevertheless very important field.”

=Butler, Ellis Parker.=^{[8]} Mike Flannery on duty and off. 50c.
Doubleday.

9–14821.

Three stories which set forth in a manner quite up to the author’s standard of humor the trials of the express agent. The first, “Just like a cat” relates the difficulty arising from Mike’s confusing “deceased” and “diseased” in his report of orders; the second, “The three hundred,” depicts a struggle with three hundred simplified spelled words; the title of the third story is quite Butleresque, “Fleas will be fleas.”

* * * * *

“The third and last story of the book is not up to the usual Mike Flannery standard, despite its promising title.”

=Butler, Harold E.=^{[8]} Post-Augustan poetry, from Seneca to
Juvenal. *$2.90. Oxford.

9–22234.

“The first chapter handles the general question of the decline of post-Augustan poetry, and then we have a series of chapters dealing with Seneca, Persius, Lucan, Petronius, the minor poetry of the years 14–69 A. D. and 70–117, Valerius Flaccus, Statius, Silius Italicus, Martial, and Juvenal.” (Ath.) “No attempt is made to glorify these poets unduly; their faults are indicated clearly enough, but a generous endeavor is made to save them from an undeserved neglect.” (Dial.)

* * * * *

“To have so much done for us by a man of Mr. Butler’s literary powers, with his clearness of discrimination and expression, is a substantial boon. We wish to make it plain that we consider Mr. Butler’s book wholesomely helpful. We have enjoyed the perusal of Mr. Butler’s pages, perhaps the more because in his critical estimates he allows generosity gently to strike the balance, and is determined to dig out what precious ore there may be in a confessedly second-rate mine.”

“This is a pleasant book to read. There is nothing, certainly of the ‘Smelfungus’ tone about it. Everything pleased the traveller, except, perhaps the etiquette of the Copenhagen pavement, which, as an earlier traveller expressed it, consists in pushing you into the gutter. Perhaps the most interesting chapter is that in which what we should call the ‘continuation schools’ are described. It is a quite inexhaustible wonder, when we remember what the corresponding class in England think about such things, that thousands of young men and women, women chiefly in summer and men in winter, leave their places to improve their education. It is no thought of bettering themselves that moves them; simply, it would seem, the desire of knowledge. Another Danish wonder is the co-operative system.” (Spec.) “Mr. Butlin has supplemented his work with a multitude of Danish myths and tales of historical events, and he has repeatedly, with great success, translated some of the ancient ballads so dear to the Danish heart.” (N.

There is an indefinable fear that compels him to believe that he has been evilly dealt with. He escapes and the incidents of the story have to do with his efforts to win back his memory by the aid of instinct and faces seen in dreams, and they involve the tricking of enemies who had been responsible for the young man’s condition, the interest of a French scientist, and the devotion of a young New York girl.

The author as guide avoids the megaphone man’s method of stringing together commonplaces and does the honors properly and pleasantly, of the old quarters of Paris, to Parisians who complain of knowing nothing of the history of the great city.

A novel of Egyptian life and English life in Egypt in which the author “attempts to re-create the course of the events of the last quarter of a century as they ought to have happened.” (Sat. R.) It portrays social and official life in government and military circles of Egyptian cities and follows the unconvincing course of the “White prophet” half Christian, half Mohammedan as leader of the new Nationalist movement.

Selections from early American writers from 1607 to 1800. “Theology is the base of most of these selections, although such matters as Indian rights, poems on various sentimental subjects, translations of the Psalms, the examination and condemnation of witches, love letters and historical and descriptive sketches lend variety and prove more agreeable reading than the dissertations upon infant damnation or descriptions of the traits of the grim Deity these people had fashioned for their terror and worship.” (N.

A work the scope of whose subject and the method of whose treatment “have been determined with the view to bring out the purpose of the work, viz., to show, on the one hand, what has been the attitude of the British nation, as expressed by its writers, toward the Jew at various periods of their common history, what influence the Jews have thus unconsciously had upon its literature; and on the other hand, what influence they have unconsciously exercised by their own contributions to this literature.” It covers English literature from the tenth century to date.

Dillingham.

9–20662.

Toby Quarrenden, an over-trustful young man, is a firm believer in the idea that there is more good in man than evil. Tenderly pictured is his Platonic friendship for an actress, Christine Macaire, and his sorrow over the discovery that the woman whom he had married and his best friend Mr. Welby have concealed from him an illicit relation of early years. The deception of these two, which had reached everybody’s ears before its revelation to him, somewhat shakes his faith in mankind. After the death of his wife, thru the influence and love of Christine, his simple trust in humanity is restored.

Mr. Oldmeadow says: “Dr. Campbell has sought to recover Apollonius of Tyana from the dust of controversy and to picture him as he existed in the minds of his more reverent and spiritually minded believers.... He has rounded off his short study by contrasting some of the practices and doctrines of this Cappadocian ... with some words and works of that Galilean who has conquered the world.”
