=FREUND, ERNST.= Standards of American legislation; an estimate of restrictive and constructive factors. *$1.50 Univ. of Chicago press 342.7 17-10698

“On its concrete side, the present work may be said to be a
continuation of the standard treatise, ‘Police power,’ by the same
author. It is an expansion of a series of lectures delivered at Johns
Hopkins university. ... The object sought ‘is to suggest the
possibility of supplementing the established doctrine of
constitutional law which enforces legislative norms through ex post
facto review and negation, by a system of positive principles that
should guide and control the making of statutes, and give a more
definite meaning and content to the concept of due process of law.’”
(Int J Ethics) The table of contents is followed by a summary of the
contents. The introduction cites a number of cases that illustrate the
changed attitude of the courts toward social legislation, and touches
on the movement for judicial recall. The chapters then take up:
Historic changes of policy and the modern concept of social
legislation; The common law and public policy; The tasks and hazards
of legislation; Constitutional provisions; Judicial doctrines; The
meaning of principle in legislation; Constructive factors. The author
is professor of jurisprudence and public law in the University of
Chicago.

=FROTHINGHAM, EUGENIA BROOKS.= Way of the wind. *$1.40 (3c) Houghton 17-6326

An unusual love story, the theme of which is the attachment between an
older woman and a man who is little more than a boy. Janet Eversly is
past thirty when she first meets Edgar Chilworth, a boy in the early
twenties. She is the guest of his sister in the New Hampshire hills,
and it is Fanny Chilworth’s harshness in her treatment of the wayward,
reckless youth that first draws Janet toward him. He is touched by
Janet’s pity, and before they are aware, tenderness on the one side
and gratitude on the other have merged into love. The situation is
worked out slowly, with many failures on Edgar’s part and sorely-tried
faith on Janet’s.

of France in times of peace. These hill-towns, the traveller-author

and protected by the turrets and massive towers of its walls and
citadel; second, the feudal castle, the residence of some great lord
about whose walls a straggling town has grown up; third, the fortified
town, communal in character, which, governed by no over-lord and
possessed of no castle, yet protects itself from invasion by
fortifying its houses and its churches also; and fourth, the monastic
hill-town, its defences built primarily to defend a shrine. ... In
tracing the history of these four types of hill towns in France, the
writer has traced the welding of these divergent strands into a united

For descriptive note see Annual for 1916.

“Hitherto Voltaire’s ‘Charles XII,’ of unstated literary charm, and
the late R. Nisbet Bain’s useful sketch in the Heroes of the nations
series have been the only attempts to write, in a non-Scandinavian
tongue, the story career of one of the most picturesque and striking
figures in modern history. Now comes Mr Gade, ... who has assumed the
role of translator of the contemporaneous manuscripts of one Carl
Gustafson Klingspor, devoted follower and companion in arms of the
king. While the ‘translator’ provides an index and a very considerable
bibliography, abounding in Scandinavian titles, his manner of writing,
his soaring enthusiasm, and his penchant for dramatic effect suggest
the historical novelist rather than the orthodox historical
biographer. ... Those who, in spite of the grim realities of the
present conflict, still yearn for a true tale of military adventure,
in the main well told, will welcome this book; but it still leaves the
way open for an exhaustive critical biography. The volume is

Mr John A. Gade has hit upon the device of writing a book purporting
to be a translation of the manuscript of one Colonel Klingspor. ... In
most other respects Mr Gade is credible enough, fortified and
enlivened as his account is with the contemporary observations and
anecdotes now accessible in a number of published journals of the
Carolines. The recently published five volumes of memoirs of soldiers
under Charles, edited by Quennerstadäd, seem to have been especially
drawn upon. ... In but one respect does there appear to be uncertainty
of planning. For whom in particular was this eloquent account written?
For youths to be fired with a noble emulation of a great character, so
one would judge from the general tone of the book, which lays the
greatest stress on the Spartan virtues. But if so, why the salacious
anecdotes, e.g., about August the Strong, told in contrast though they

“The future of sculpture [in America] at present lies in the hands of
some half dozen acknowledged artists and many others who are gradually
winning a reputation. One of the few who has gone ‘over the top’
although quite a young man, is Paul Manship. ... In clear, concise
terms, the author has summed up the art of Manship and placed him
where he belongs. That is an art in itself. Further than this the
dainty little volume contains a very complete iconography, accompanied
by eight full-page illustrations, thoroughly representative pieces of
sculpture having been selected for the purpose.” (Int Studio) The
book, which is of a few pages only other than the illustrations, was
printed at the Merrymount press, Boston, in an edition of one hundred
and fifty copies.

“The author is a past master in iconography, and employs a terse
epigrammatic phraseology which clothes well his very individual views

=GALLICHAN, CATHERINE GASQUOINE (HARTLEY) (MRS WALTER M. GALLICHAN).= Motherhood and the relationships of the sexes. *$2.50 (2½c) Dodd 176 17-14556

This book, which the author had had in mind for some time, has been
written and published during the war, because she believes that it has
a vital bearing on present conditions in England. On the one hand, she
sees the need of building up the population of a decimated country, on
the other, she sees women crowding into occupations that are inimical
to motherhood. She says, “The object of my book is two-fold. First, to
put forward a fresh plea for assigning that high value to motherhood
in practice which at present it receives only in words. ... In the
second place, I wish to set forth what seem to be the chief causes
that hitherto have hindered motherhood and bound my sex from the full
enjoyment of life; and to suggest that the reason ... is due to
women’s own actions, to their absurdly wrong education and entire
misunderstanding of the sexual life.” The four parts of the book
following the Introduction, which treats of the effects of the war,
are: The maternal instinct in the making; The primitive family;
Motherhood and the relationships of the sexes; Sexual education. There
is a bibliography of several pages at the close.

This book of advice for new recruits is written by a soldier who was
at Gallipoli in 1915 and a sergeant instructor of the Plattsburg

right; The first days in camp; Marksmanship; Keeping fit; A successful
soldier; A talk on personal conduct; Tips from the trenches. There is
a list of “Things to remember not to forget.” A number of pages at the

=GALSWORTHY, JOHN.= Beyond. *$1.50 (1½c) Scribner 17-22092

When “Gyp” Winton was flowering into womanhood she overheard it said
that Major Winton, her straight-thinking, straight-riding guardian was
indeed her father. That knowledge influenced her attitude toward the
world of society she was about to enter. He had answered her question
about it simply and directly: “Yes, Gyp; your mother and I loved each
other.” To Gyp, then, honesty, her music, and love were the three
things needful. Against her father’s wishes she married Fiorsen, the
gifted, moody, intemperate, wholly selfish Swedish violinist, only to
discover later that their union was founded on passion on his side and
a mistaken infatuation on hers. With all her strength she tried to
keep the bargain she had made, but when he broke his marriage vow and
in a fit of ungovernable temper maltreated their child, she left him
and went back to her father and that simpler outdoor life to which she
had been bred. Dreading the English divorce court, she did not legally
free herself, and, when later, Bryan Summerhay came into her life and
won her passionate affection she gave herself to him, believing that
to her had come such undying love as she had seen her father hold for
the mother who had died at her child’s birth. The weight of the past
and oncoming tragedy in the book is relieved only by Gyp’s love for
her daughter and Major Winton’s unquestioned, unflinching devotion to
them both.

“Of the essential indecency of Gyp’s course, its human and spiritual

even the unlovable may justifiably resent betrayal; and it is our main
quarrel with Mr Galsworthy that he seems to have no perception of the
case that might be made out—that must be made out—for Fiorsen. Mr
Galsworthy used to have a shrewd and vibrant sense of humor. It would
not formerly have been easy to impeach him for artless banalities, for

cruise up and down the river. But an invitation from Tom’s uncle, a

that they may overtake his father’s wrecked schooner, the “Fausta,”

after an exciting race with a government derelict destroyer.
Incidentally the boys learn something of American history. The book is

“‘A son of the middle border’ is Mr Garland’s view of himself and of
the life he encountered along a vista that has seen one era after
another of American progress give place to its successor. It is,
moreover, a story of the advance of an American boy which is none the
less miraculous because it has been repeated so often in our
history. ... He was born in 1860 and his infancy and early childhood
coincided with the most critical period in American history. His
father, who had come to Wisconsin from Maine, after three years of
work in Boston, enlisted in the Union army in 1863, and among the
boy’s earliest recollections is the memory of his return. ... Scene
after scene of his childhood, face after face out of a past rich in
recollections, Mr Garland brings before us, as his father restlessly
moved westward from Wisconsin to Minnesota, from Minnesota to Iowa,
and from Iowa to Dakota. ... With his brother Franklin he went on his
adventure into the east. ... This was in 1883, when Mr Garland was
twenty-three years of age. His real invasion of Boston came a little
later. ... For nearly ten years he was a Bostonian, winning his way
against obstacles that would have daunted many a less ambitious young
man. ... Finally he became a professional man of letters.”—Boston
