“The author stands only in the second or third rank of Russian
literature, has no life-message as Dostoevsky and Tolstoy have, and
the picture which he gives of Russian life is not distinctive. ... The
patriarchal life of Glyeb’s family ought to be interesting, but one
never gets into the midst of it, and evidently the author himself is
an outsider, having only a partial sympathy. ... The translation is
without charm, and if the author is prolix the translator emphasizes

=GREGORY, JACKSON.= Wolf breed. il *$1.40 (2c) Dodd 17-25854

The North woods provide the setting of a tale of avarice, jealousy and
passion among men who, for greed of gold or refuge from the law,
collect there in strange ill-assortment. Among the habitues of a
frontier settlement house is No Luck Drennen who had grown hard,
cynical, and evil-minded thru loss of faith in men he had trusted. He
knows where to find gold; others know that he knows. Drennen becomes
suspicious that every body is trying to pry into his secret and wrest
from him his prospects. He includes in his suspicions a southern girl
who mysteriously appears at the settlement. Woman hater tho he be and
sharp of tongue he finds a match in Ygerne Bellaire whose clever
fencing wins the admiration and love of the “lone wolf.” Treachery and
misunderstanding make their romance a difficult one but they find a
way out to happiness.

discoveries in the increase of man’s power—these are the themes of the
book.” (Sat R) “In his references to the life and work of men like
Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Darwin, Huxley, Kelvin, and Pasteur, the
author illustrates the spirit of the discoverer—his fanaticism for the
sanctity of truth, his disinterestedness and impersonal detachment,
his delight in his work, and his cautious yet alert recognition of the
possibility of error. ... Much of the book is an eloquent commentary
on the text: ‘The future of our civilisation depends upon the widening
spread and deepening hold of the scientific habit of mind.’” (Nature)

Wildfire, an untamed red stallion, is the hero of this story. Lucy

the meaning of fear, is its heroine. Lin Slone, who tracks Wildfire up
from Utah and captures him, is the horse’s nominal owner, but Lucy is
the real owner, for it is to her the beautiful wild horse gives his
heart. Lucy rides him once in a race against her father’s favorite,

=GRIBBLE, FRANCIS HENRY.= Women in war. *$2.75 Dutton 920.7 (Eng ed 16-23097)

“This book, so eminently topical, was yet written, Mr Gribble tells
us, before the world-war was talked of. It is an interesting account
of individual women or groups of women noted for deeds of bravery,
adventurous exploits, or for some special association with war from
the time of Boadicea to that of Florence Nightingale. In an epilogue,
in which Mr Gribble endeavours to bring the record somewhat up to
date, he tells us that he was interned in Germany, and has something
to say of German women in war time. ... The epilogue also records the
experiences of some of the women who have served in the Russian and
Austro-Hungarian armies—‘no fewer than twenty of them in the Voluntary
Ukraine legion alone’—and of the women doctors and nurses who went
through the Serbian campaign.”—Spec

“Mr Gribble writes of Jeanne d’Arc in detail, and with an open mind
attempts to give her a proper place in history, conceding neither to
M. Anatole France that she was merely the tool of the clergy, nor to
Andrew Lang that she was the great military leader he thought her. His
searching desire for fairness toward Jeanne d’Arc gives one confidence
in the author’s estimate of other women warriors with whose reputation
the reviewer is less familiar.”

+ =Dial= 63:166 Ag 30 ‘17 230w

“It sketches in a light superficial manner the heroic or eccentric
doings of a motley group of thirty or forty women, ranging in point of
time from Countess Matilda of Tuscany to Miss Edith Cavell. The only
nexus among them all is that each was in some way connected with war,
either leading it like Jeanne D’Arc, or in supposedly causing it like
the Empress Eugénie, or in suffering from it like Lady Sale, or in
some other more or less remote fashion.”

=Nation= 105:204 Ag 23 ‘17 350w

“Mr Gribble has made for himself more or less of a reputation as an
entertaining but superficial writer on some of the intimate phases of
history, especially those connected, and too often scandalously, with
women. In this book he has collected with great industry an immense
amount of information about what specific women have done in war and
in the influencing of countries or individuals in times of war and as
companions of warriors.”

Then follow in alphabetical order: Belgian; Chinese; Danish; Dutch;

arranged alphabetically according to title, with the language
designated after each author and with cross references from other
titles for the same book. The list was originally compiled as a
bibliography presented for graduation in the New York library school
in 1914, and was brought up-to-date before publication. “Each book in
the list was examined at the time of compilation. It was available
either in the reference department, the circulation department, or in

=GUIMERÁ, ANGEL.= La pecadora (Daniela); a play in three acts; tr. by Wallace Gillpatrick. (Pub. of Hispanic soc. of Am.) pa *$1.25 Putnam 862 16-22623

For the English version of this play by the author of “Marta of the
Lowlands,” we are indebted to Mexico City. The translator saw its
first performance there in 1902 and, impressed with its merits,
obtained permission from the author to translate it into English. The
scene is in a little Spanish village. A great singer, after fifteen
years of absence, has just returned to her childhood home. She is
broken in health and her hopes of renewing her strength among
well-loved scenes are frustrated by the suspicions of her old friends,
and especially by the jealousy of the wife of her one-time sweetheart.

“Wallace Gillpatrick has translated ‘La pecadora’ and has brought over
into English most if not all of the hot and fluid passion of the
original. ... For acting purposes, at least with us, some of the
scenes, notably the first half of the first act, would have to be
condensed, but it makes easier reading as it stands, affording the
opportunity to come slowly and surely under the spell of the emotions
and the sensibilities of another race.” O. M. Sayler

“For sheer dramatic intensity the second act has been equalled by few

of the primitive and the true in it, and nothing whatever of the
veiled sex appeal. ... As a reading play it is fascinating, and we
fortunately have it in an admirable translation.” Frank Macdonald

Three addresses by the president of Rockford college for women. In the
first, The essence of democracy, delivered as a baccalaureate address
in 1915, the author expresses the belief that “the impulse toward
expansion, which underlies the present world-upheaval, is the impulse
toward the democratizing of Europe.” The second, The twentieth-century
search for the Holy Grail, delivered before the State federation of
women’s clubs in Rockford, Ill., in 1915, is a study of the work of
American women along economic, civic and legislative lines. The third,
The efficiency of democracy, a baccalaureate address of 1916, is given
to a comparison of the methods of a democracy and an autocracy, as
represented by the United States and Germany, with suggestions as to
what each can learn from the other.

“While it contains nothing that is novel or striking, the book is
interesting, cogent in its expression of ideas and possesses more

“Mr Guthrie’s addresses add very little to the discussion of the

student and teacher of the law. The essay on ‘Magna carta’ is perhaps
the least valuable of the entire collection. In this paper the author
presents the older view of the content and purpose of this document, a

Dr Gwatkin did not live to revise his manuscript, and it is offered
with some imperfections which the editors deemed presumptuous to
tamper with. It is not a textbook for beginners but for “informed and
intelligent students” who wish a survey of England’s secular and
ecclesiastical development, in due coordination and proportion. A good
index is provided.

“If, in consequence of the lamented author’s death, some portions of

=GWYNN, STEPHEN LUCIUS.= Mrs Humphry Ward. (Writers of the day) *60c (3c) Holt 823 (Eng ed 18-1392)

This study of Mrs Humphry Ward is added to a series which already
includes books on Anatole France, Arnold Bennett, H. G. Wells, Joseph
Conrad, Henry James, and others. It is Mrs Ward’s great and long
continued popularity that draws critical attention to her work. As Mr
Gwynne says, “Such a success as she has achieved and consolidated does
not dictate to critical opinion, but it compels appraisement to be
made.” Following the introduction, are chapters devoted to: “Robert
Elsmere”; Novels of the general world: “Helbeck of Bannisdale” and
“Eleanor”; Novels with a historical basis: “The case of Richard
Meynell”; Later novels and general appreciation.

“Mr Gwynn takes the candid and reasonable view that the popularity of
Mrs Humphry Ward justifies a critical attention which her books hardly
deserve on mere literary grounds.”

“It may be expected that this ‘Life of Sir Charles Dilke’ will at once
take its place among standard works of reference, for much of it
records in his own words, from notes made day by day, the important
events in British and European history of the second half of the
nineteenth century in which he took a prominent part. ... Sir Charles
Dilke’s activities were many-sided, and his biographers have tried to
present a picture of the complete man. Sections are allotted to his
lifelong efforts to improve the conditions of the working classes, his
care for the rights of native races, and his literary work and
interests; and Mr Spenser Wilkinson contributes the chapters
describing the active part taken by Sir Charles Dilke in impressing
upon the nation the necessity of preparations for imperial defence. In
all the activities of the second half of his life Sir Charles had a
devoted co-worker in Lady Dilke, and Miss Tuckwell has provided a
delightful picture of happy home life.”—Ath

“The two volumes are a notable addition to the socio-political history
of the last generation. For in the realm of social politics Dilke
established a new tradition. In the sphere of foreign policy or
imperial policy, on questions relating to the army and navy, he
undoubtedly possessed an almost unrivalled knowledge; but these
matters were, in a sense, the stock-in-trade of all politicians. In
the field of social politics, however, he stood alone—a pioneer.”

Mr Hagedorn appeals to the boys and girls of America, especially to

responsibility laid upon their shoulders by the great war. He asks
them to think squarely about their country, to realize that “democracy
isn’t a success—yet,” that we are wasteful, materialistic, improvident
and indifferent, and then to “create a tradition of alert citizenship,
a tradition of public service.” “Your elder brothers will have to
fight with guns. ... To you is given a work every bit as grand as
dying for your country; and that is, living for the highest interests
of your country! Those interests are the interests of democracy. If,

numbers ... The story embodies the last episode in the wizard Zikali’s
mysterious career; but to give it a proper setting, Mr Haggard
recounts the events preceding the Zulu-British war of 1879, together
