=FORBES, JOHN MAXWELL.= Doubloons—and the girl. il *$1.25 (1½c) Sully & Kleinteich 17-10668

A tale of treasure hunting. The discovery of an old Spanish pirate’s
chart has the usual effect on the imagination of the finders. No one
who has a pirate’s chart in his possession can rest easy until he is
aboard ship and on his way after the treasure. In this case the search
party consists of two old men, one of them the captain, two young men,
and one girl, the captain’s daughter. The mate, a one-eyed seaman who
has discovered the purpose of the expedition, is the villain who all
but destroys the success of the expedition. The island on which the
treasure is buried is volcanic, and eruptions and earthquakes are
added to mutiny to give color to the tale.

“Dr Forbes’s ‘Russian grammar’ is timely. ... Dr Forbes seems to have
made a point of omitting those rules which, although accepted in
standard grammars, are nevertheless subject to numerous exceptions.
Russian grammar can safely undergo this process of simplification to a

the Russian language lies in the aspects of the verb. ... The author’s
treatment of this part of the subject is particularly thorough.”—Ath

“The book is intended for the use of students working with a teacher
or those who, working alone, wish to learn to read. It seems to us

Aksakov, aristocrat, naturalist, sportsman, and author: Grigorovitch,

=FORBES, WALDO EMERSON.= Cycles of personal belief. *$1.25 (3c) Houghton 121 17-10884

The cycle of personal belief which the author traces comprises a
process of illusion, disillusion, and reillusion. Disillusion cannot
be permanent because of the soul’s craving for positive elements.
“Thought, phoenix-like, begins perpetually to create new beliefs, to
build, to affirm, and to renew the world.” But belief, after all,
plays little practical part in our lives, for we discover that a
perception of truth does not guarantee an obedience to truth. There is
another cycle, growing out of experience, that follows the cycle of
belief. The stages of this the author terms generation, degeneration
and regeneration. But he does not imply that, even with regeneration,
a permanent goal is reached: “Our moments of peace are given for the
reception of new visions, and these, however gently the hint at first
is given, are each and all incentive to action. Human life embosomed
in paradise at one pole plunges into turmoil at the other. The
struggle is not over, the problems are not solved.”

“Mr Waldo Emerson Forbes has succeeded in cultivating something of the
style both of thought and of expression which one finds in the
writings of the great essayist, his grandfather, whom his name brings
to mind.”

who rivals Shorty McCabe in public favor. This book contains seventeen

keen and not encouraging eye of “Auntie.”

=FORNARO, CARLO DE.=[2] Modern purgatory. *$1.25 (4c) Kennerley 365 17-31926

“This book is a record of the prison experiences of Carlo de Fornaro,
artist, writer, editor, revolutionary. It is a record of experiences
in the famous Tombs prison, in New York city, and in the New York city
penitentiary on Blackwell’s Island.” (Introd.) The offense against the
laws of the state of New York on which the author was convicted was
criminal libel against Diaz, then president of Mexico. If the reader
does not see the relation between facts and consequences as set forth
in the introduction, he must accept the situation as another evidence
of the strange and wonderful ways of justice in our land. The book
itself is a narrative of daily prison life told without bitterness and
with only unspoken condemnation of a heartless and futile system.

“Mr Fornaro’s is not what the Puritan calls a pleasant book. But it
possesses the rare degree of truth that one finds more often in
Russian than in American writing. His is the most vivid, concrete
description of the mediaeval survival in the heart of our modern
cities, and the most realistic illustration of the need for such
reform as Mr Osborne has instituted that has yet appeared.”

This translation of the journal of a German submarine commander
appears in book form with an introduction by John Hays Hammond, jr.,
who writes of “The challenge to naval supremacy.” In her foreword the
translator says, “The following pages form an abridged translation of
a book published in 1916 by freiherr von Forstner, commander of the
first German U-boat. ... Many repetitions and trivial incidents have
been omitted in this translation; but, in order to express the
personality of the author, the rendering has been as literal as
possible, and it shows the strange mixture of sentimentality and
ferocity peculiar to the psychology of the Germans.” In part the work
is a personal account, in part a technical description of the
activities of a submarine. There are seven illustrations from
photographs.

conception of the deadly efficiency of their favorite sea weapon.”

Who pays for the war? The burden France has borne. In a letter,
reprinted as a foreword, M. André Tardieu says to the author: “That
which, in my opinion, gives special value to your book on France in
war time, is that you have not been content only to gather therein the
excellent articles sent by you from Paris and the front to the

historian.” Major Fortescue is author of “At the front with three

A message for all who are asking these questions: In what mood shall a
Christian, or for that matter an idealist of any kind, face the
catastrophe? With what considerations and insights can he support his
faith and hope? How can he harmonize his ideals with his necessities
of action in a time of war? His answer gives reasons for accepting the
present crisis as a challenge and concludes with: “The present war is
an appalling commentary upon our failure to fulfil or even to
acknowledge our obligations. We have seen our duty in too little
terms; we have but dimly understood what the Master wanted of us. We
are challenged to understand it now; the call is written in lines of
fire on the map of the world; and we shall be renegade, indeed, if we
do not now accept before it is too late the opportunity for
international service which this war reveals.”

description and exposition of the latest candidate for public favor in
the realm of cards, without assuming on the reader’s part any previous
knowledge of similar games, although it is naturally expected that the

bridge. The author has endeavored to explain the logic of the bidding

“A book written for the general student. The author says: ‘The present
volume is designed to offer a guide for study rather than simply a new
essay or treatise upon the history of Israel’s religion.’ The
principal source book for this field of investigation is the Old

history; and a similar outline of the Hebrew literature from the
beginnings ‘before 1040 B. C.’ to the Mishnah, about 200 A. D.
Preceding the text of each chapter are given the references to the
biblical materials, and at the close of each chapter are given the
names of books for supplementary reading.”—Boston Transcript

“The main themes of the book are allowed to stand out clearly so that
they can be grasped without difficulty, and the summary at the close

Mr Fox is an American newspaper correspondent and author of “Behind

during the war and seems to have been afforded opportunity for
gathering a good deal of information. He gives a gossipy account of
the Kaiser, the Crown prince, and the men who surround them, followed
by a chapter entitled “Inside the iron ring,” which deals with the
supply of food and of materials needed in war industries, and a final
chapter entitled “Why we are fighting Germany.” The chapter on “The
Kaiser and the Big Three,” (Bethmann-Hollweg, Hindenburg, and
Ludendorff) is of special interest at present.

“His book gains value more from the fact that his opportunity was
unique than that his writing is good. It is not good; it is
sensational, imaginative (to speak mildly), but amazingly
interesting. ... In spite of his flights of fancy, his judgment of
people is fairly correct. Much of what he says is a repetition of

=FRANCE, ANATOLE, pseud. (JACQUES ANATOLE THIBAULT).= Human tragedy; a tr. by Alfred Allinson. il *$3 (11½c) Lane 17-29339

A holiday edition of the translation of a story contained in the
series “Le puits de Sainte-Claire.” The translation was previously
published in Chapman’s English edition of the Works of Anatole France,
1909. It is the story of Fra Giovanni, who, inspired by the example of
St Francis, took the vows of poverty and lived “humble and despised,
his soul a garden of flowers fenced about with walls.” As did Adam of
old he eats of the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil offered to
him by the adversary. The evil spirit subtly appears in many guises,
drawing his net tight about his victim until Giovanni cries out: “Thru
you it is I suffer, and I love you. I love you because you are my
misery and my pride, my joy and my sorrow, the splendour and the
cruelty of things created, because you are desire and speculation, and
because you have made me like unto yourself.” The story becomes a
parable of the universal human tragedy of thought.

France’s deeply satirical imitation of a saint’s chronicle. It is a
delectable book.”

=FRANCK, HARRY ALVERSON.= Vagabonding down the Andes. il *$4 (1½c) Century 918 17-25452

The author of “A vagabond journey around the world,” etc., spent four
years traveling in Mexico, Central and South America. A considerable
portion of this journey was made on foot. The present book deals with
the author’s tramp down the ridge of the Andes to Buenos Aires. He
tells us that his purpose “was primarily to study the ways of the
common people,” that too many of the books on Latin America have
whitewashed everything and that he is interested “only in giving as
faithful a picture as possible.” He warns us that he has “taken for
granted in the reader a certain basic knowledge of South America,” and
also that “this is no tale of adventures.” The numerous illustrations
are from photographs by the author and there is a map showing the
route.

“Not so gay as his former books, but contains an immense amount of
useful information.”

+ =A L A Bkl= 14:92 D ‘17

“Although the author refers to his journey as vagabonding and to
himself as a vagabond, his book reveals him as a keen-eyed, observant
traveller with a fund of dry Yankee humour and common sense. The
volume therefore is not only a rare record of endurance and adventure
in out-of-the-way places, but in addition is a valuable contribution
to our knowledge of the Andes and the Andeans.” A. M. Chase

“Franck’s books justify the day-to-day diary form; he is a master of
detail, of local vignettes, of discriminate minutiæ. The photographs
taken by this literary vagabond are excellent and appropriate to the
text. The omission of an index is quite inexcusable, and reduces the
value of the book to that derived from a mere casual reading.”

“There are two particulars in which the volume might easily be

who want social information of a kind studiously omitted from most

=FRANK, WALDO DAVID.= Unwelcome man. *$1.50 (1½c) Little 17-2340

He was an unwelcome child. Born the fifth son in a family of eight, he
was wanted by nobody. His father openly disliked him. His brothers and
sisters never made a place for him. His mother, tho she loved him with
a fierce maternal tenderness that tried to atone for her lack of joy
at his birth, never understood him. He was a sensitive child, always
conscious of his anomalous position in the family life. The story is a
study of his childhood and youth. In college as in his home, he is out
of place. He leaves before the end of his senior year to go into
business, where he loses himself in the stream of mediocrity.

“The style of ‘The unwelcome man’, like its philosophy, is a thing to
be consciously accepted or surmounted if one is to read the book at
all. It is pretentious, formal, often inflated, sometimes turgid. ...
The book with all its realism of scene and episode is less a story

“The subtitle of this book is the key to the contents. It is
intentionally a somewhat dilute philosophical discussion of those
natural phenomena whose study we commonly include under ‘physics.’ ...
The book runs the whole gamut of classical physics, covering
mechanics, dynamics, hydraulics, heat, electricity, magnetism, light
and sound. There is nothing particularly strange encountered, except
in the discussion on thermodynamics, where great attention is paid to
entropy.” (Engin N) “Little space is given to the atomic theory. There
are excellent bibliographies and an explanatory chapter on
mathematics.” (Ind)

“The authors endeavor to show that entropy is a measurable property of
a substance and that the different values of such measured property,
before and after a thermodynamic degeneration, measure the sweeping
process. The authors’ approach is very acceptable indeed to people who
have a considerable knowledge of physics and an inherent and sustained
interest in the science, but it will be an extremely difficult, if not

Great wealth of treasure lay hidden somewhere on the two farms. An old
buccaneer ancestor, seventy years earlier, had taken this method of
leaving his wealth to his descendants. In the form of precious gems,
he had concealed it in various hiding places. His will gave faint
clues and stated clearly that finders were to be keepers. In order
that the finders should always be members of the family, it became
imperative that trespassing should be forbidden, that hired labor
should be dispensed with and that guests should be chosen with care.
At the time of this story the farms are in the possession of two
cousins. Not for forty years has there been any discovery of treasure.
Then Binney Hartwell, son of one of the cousins, finds one of the
hidden boxes. Unhappiness, ill-luck and family dissension follow, but
the disclosure of the final hiding place restores harmony.
