Chapter X: Part 2: the author discusses method in teaching, applied specifically (2)

This work, translated from the French, is based on investigations in a
field to which scientists of note in the United States, with the
exception of William James, have given little attention, that of
psychic phenomena. In France, on the other hand, the translator
assures us, such investigations, have made such progress as to gain
national recognition. The book is based on experimental studies and
consists of collected papers that were written during the period from
1893 to 1903. Animal magnetism in the light of new investigations,
Mesmerism and suggestion, The provocation of sleep at a distance, The
colors of human magnetism, The scientific study of spiritism, etc.,
are among the subjects.

“Professor Émile Boirac, rector of the Academy of Dijon, France, and
author of this book, is an acknowledged leader of thought in matters
both psychological and psychic. He has devoted many years to studying
the problems pertaining to life and death, and this present book was
awarded the prize in a contest to which many of the leading
psychologists contributed. ... Though a scientific book, it is not
without attraction for the lay reader.”

=BOLIN, JAKOB.= Gymnastic problems; with an introd. by Earl Barnes. il *$1.50 (4c) Stokes 613.7 17-12150

This book by the late Professor Bolin of the University of Utah has
been prepared for publication by a group of his associates, who feel
that the work is “one of the most important contributions to the
subject of gymnastics which has been written in English.” In the first
chapter the author discusses the relation of gymnastic exercise to
physical training in general. His own position is that the aim of
gymnastics is hygienic in a special sense, its object being to
counteract the evils of one sided activity. The remaining chapters are
devoted to: The principle of gymnastic selection; The principle of
gymnastic totality; The principle of gymnastic unity; The composition
of the lesson; Progression; General considerations of method.

“Of value to all teachers of physical education and to those
interested in healthful efficiency.”

“After the opening scene, which pictures a hold-up and robbery of a
Wells-Fargo stage coach in the California mountains, the story drops
into more conventional lines of romance. The robbery, which is the act
of two rough prospectors, is the prelude to the social experiences in
San Francisco of a familiar type of cosmopolitan adventurer. He is
little better than a tramp when he discovers the robbers’ cache. He
makes off with the gold and conceals it near San Francisco. Being
well-born and educated, though thoroughly unscrupulous, he finds an
easy entrance to San Francisco society.” (Springf’d Republican) The
rest of the book gives the story of his life in the city. The
California earthquake of 1906 plays an important part in the story.

=BOSANQUET, BERNARD.= Social and international ideals. *$2.25 Macmillan 304 (Eng ed 17-28213)

“This volume is a collection of essays, reviews, and lectures, all of
which, with one exception, were published before the war, and most of
which on the face of them reveal that fact. ... Though the contents of
the volume seem at first sight to be fortuitously put together, there
runs through them unity of spirit, thought, purpose, and manner.” (The
Times [London] Lit Sup Jl 12 ‘17) “Most of the pages (14 out of 17 are
reprinted from the Charity Organization Review) discuss the principles
which should govern our handling of social problems with the view of
displaying ‘the organizing power which belongs to a belief in the
supreme values—beauty, truth, kindness, for example—and how a
conception of life which has them for its good is not unpractical.’”
(The Times [London] Lit Sup Je 21 ‘17)

“We may single out, as of special importance in this new volume, Mr
Bosanquet’s idea of the growth of individuality and his idea of the
structure of political society. In the chapter on ‘Optimism’ he points
out that the mistake of its opponents is the acceptance of their
momentary experience as final. ... Criticism, confined to a few
sentences, must obviously be inadequate. ... If there are omissions in
Mr Bosanquet’s analysis of fact, his ideal also appears to be too

reprinted without change, though a few of its details do not apply to
the new edition, and a few details in the new edition find no place in

=BOTTOME, PHYLLIS.= Derelict. il *$1.35 (2c) Century 17-14180

“The derelict” is a story that has been running as a serial in the
Century Magazine this year. It is a study of the situation that
results from the efforts of a well-meaning young woman to rescue a
girl from the underworld. Emily Dering, engaged to Geoffrey Amberley,
intentionally throws her protégé in his way. It is part of her program
for Fanny’s reform, and when the girl suddenly turns about and goes
back to her old life, she of course does not understand the nobility
of purpose that lay back of the act. The story, which is only a long
short story, is followed by seven others, also reprinted from the
Century: The liqueur glass; “Mademoiselle l’Anglaise”; An awkward
turn; The syren’s isle; “Ironstone”; The pace; Brother Leo.

“Of all the stories in this excellent collection of eight, ‘The
liqueur glass’ seems to one reader at least by far the best—not only
the best of these, but outstanding among the myriad output of the
year.” F. A. G.

+ =Boston Transcript= p6 Je 13 ‘17 530w

“The things that pleased us in ‘The dark tower’ were its economy of

=BOTTOME, PHYLLIS.= Second fiddle. il *$1.35 (2c) Century 17-28800

“You know, a secretary is a kind of second fiddle. ... I like being a
second fiddle.” So speaks Stella Waring, secretary for seven years to
Professor Paulson, the great naturalist, and later to Mr Leslie
Travers, expert accountant. Stella’s father was a dreamy antiquarian,
and her mother a gentlewoman who “did not manage anything and when she
was very unhappy said she was in tune with the infinite.” So the three
girls, Eurydice, the “suppressed artist,” Cicely, who studied
medicine, and Stella, had to fend for themselves. The story concerns
itself mainly with the business life and the love affairs of Stella,
more especially her affair with Sir Julian Verny, who is invalided
home from the front.

“It is a pity that Phyllis Bottome should waste her efforts on
intellectual cream-puffs. A great deal of the psychology in ‘The

possibly evolve? And how could one lovely, normal girl be all but
surrounded by a set of caricatures.”

— =Dial= 63:463 N 8 ‘17 110w

“For the human development of ‘The second fiddle’ is based upon the
sound, and often neglected, psychological fact that sympathy is not
pity; that out of love and understanding—and out of nothing else in
the world—do human beings raise their hurt comrades from pain and
defeat to human brotherhood and sanity and triumph once more. That is
the theme of ‘The second fiddle.’ And it is that that lifts the book
from the conventionality of its incident and the mere pleasantness of
its romance to a place among novels that are not only readable but
worth reading.”

Sardinia merits attention, the author says, “alike for the primitive
civilization of which the architectural and artistic remains are
numerous and varied, for the flourishing Phœnician colonies which
fringed the southern and western shores during several centuries, and
for the proof here given of the stimulating and consolidating effect
of Roman rule even amidst unpromising surroundings.” His account is

prehistoric age; Legendary history; The Carthaginian supremacy;
Natural products and commerce; The republican province; Carales; The
early empire; The chief cities of Sardinia; The later empire;
Architecture and the arts; Religion.

“It is not an exaggeration to say that in the writings of Giordano
Bruno, one of the most amazingly fertile of thinkers, are to be found
the germs of all subsequent vital philosophic thought. ... [In this
biography] there are chapters that deal with his birth and parentage,
with his boyhood, and with his monastic life in the south; there is a
satisfactory account of his early reading (in the classics, in the
scholastics, in the Neo-Platonists, and in the writings of
contemporary thinkers) and of his first wanderings, which were an
inevitable consequence of that reading; a chapter is devoted to an
analysis of the budding philosophy of his early works; the renewed
wanderings are recounted; the seven books printed in London are
explained; the further travels are retold: the final books are
outlined; and then the trial and death of the restless and daring
thinker are described.”—Am Hist R

because unmistakably its preparation and writing have been a work of
solicitude of the heart as well as solicitude of the mind. The book is

task he has undertaken. He is laborious, painstaking, widely read in
the literature both ancient and modern which is germane to his
subject, and he is inspired with a genuine though somewhat wayward
enthusiasm for it; but alike in his appreciation of Bruno’s thought
and in his presentation of its relations to the thought of other
thinkers, both before and after, he seems to us to be wanting in the
‘judicium’ and the restraint of the true scholar.”

“This essay was presented as a thesis for a doctor’s degree to the
Sorbonne by its author in 1874. Nearly fifty years have passed, and
now it is brought into English with a special preface by the author.
The two leading thoughts of the work may be stated in the language of
its author. ‘The first is that philosophy should not confine itself to
going over and over again the philosophical concepts offered us by the
systems of our predecessors with the object of defining and combining
them in more or less novel fashion: a thing that happens too
frequently in the case of German philosophers.’ Philosophy, he holds,
should keep itself in touch with the realities of nature and life; it
should be grounded on the sciences. So he has sought to replace a
philosophy essentially conceptual by one moulded upon reality.
Secondly, to his mind all systems can be divided among three types,
materialistic, idealistic and dualistic. He says: ‘These three points
of view have this in common: they force us to regard as a chain of
necessity, rendering illusory all life and liberty.’”—Boston

This work by the director of the American geographical society, is an
outgrowth of the Yale Peruvian expedition of 1911, under the direction
of Hiram Bingham. The author’s part in the expedition was the mapping
of the country between Abancay and the Pacific, a stretch of two
hundred miles. The book is divided into two parts. The first, Human
geography, is devoted to native life, economic products, climate,
etc.; the second to Physiography of the Peruvian Andes. There are
seven topographic maps and many diagrams in addition to the noteworthy
illustrations from photographs.

says in his preface: ‘The first group of selections has to do with the

treats of the pleasures which may be found in solitude; the third
shows how various types of men have found enjoyment in a rural
environment; the fourth contrasts life in the city with life in the
country; still another describes man’s mastery over the crops of the
fields and domestic animals.’ ... The selections have been chosen from
such well-known writers as John Burroughs, Hamlin Garland, James Lane

=BOYD, ERNEST AUGUSTUS.= Contemporary drama of Ireland. *$1.25 (2½c) Little 822 17-7566

This is one of the first volumes to be issued in the Contemporary
drama series, edited by Richard Burton. The aim of the series is to
give in separate volumes an account of the contemporary drama in
various countries. In this volume, devoted to Irish drama, the
dramatic movement is shown to be related not only to the literary
revival in Ireland, but also to the general revival of interest in the
theatre which stirred the later nineteenth century. There are chapters
on: The Irish literary theatre; Edward Martyn; The beginnings of the
Irish national theatre; William Butler Yeats; The impulse to folk
drama: J. M. Synge and Padráic Colum; Peasant comedy: Lady Gregory and
William Boyle; Later playwrights; The Ulster literary theatre; Summary
and conclusion. A bibliography is given in an appendix.

bibliography with dates, and a full index.”

rather than critic, but he writes with a keen appreciation of his
indisputable poetic gifts. In a kindly but just and searching
criticism of Lady Gregory’s plays, Mr Boyd, while fully recognizing
the value of her zeal and ability to the cause which she has
championed, rightly concludes that the majority of them are not
important contributions to literary drama or in harmony with the aims
of a national theatre.” J. R. Towse

description of himself: “I am a naturalist of souls.” “He discusses in
the first chapter the psychographic method in the writing of
biography, endeavors to define what it is and what it is not,
considers the material to be used and the manner of using it, and
defines psychography briefly as ‘the condensed, essential, artistic
presentation of character.’ It differs, he explains, from ordinary
biography in that it discards the chronological method of treating its
subject’s life and uses the material facts as a means of illuminating
the inner life.” (N Y Times) Contents: Psychography; The poetry of
Donne; A pessimist poet (Leopardi); Anthony Trollope; An odd sort of
popular book (Burton’s “Anatomy of melancholy”); Alexander Dumas; The
novel two thousand years ago; A great English portrait-painter (Hyde,
earl of Clarendon); Letters of a Roman gentleman (Pliny, the younger);
Ovid among the Goths; Portrait of a saint (Francis of Sales). The
author states that only the last three portraits “are elaborate
specimens of psychography working consciously.”

a joy to readers of discriminating taste, Mr Bradford analyzes and
reveals further personality.”

his best friend, George Harnash, who also loves Stephanie Maynard and
is loved by her in return. But of this Beekman knows nothing when he
comes to his senses in the hold of the “Susquehanna,” altho later the
words of a dying mate, give him a clue. The steamer is wrecked and
Beekman is cast upon an isolated volcanic island, inhabited by the
descendants of early Dutch explorers. One of these is Truda, a girl of
wondrous beauty who promptly makes him forget the woman he was to have
