“It is obvious that much which seems almost sacrosanct to the
historical specialist must be omitted, but Mr Hayes has been
singularly successful in providing a comprehensive, clear, and
well-balanced sketch of the development of European politics and
society during the last four centuries. There are of course slips,
particularly in the sphere of domestic history. Mr Hayes’s maps are
distinctly good, except that the map of the religious divisions of
Europe in 1600 anticipates the plantation of Ulster and gives an
Anglican hue to the lands of Tyrone and Tyrconnell. His genealogical
and other tables are elaborate and careful, and his bibliographies
almost too detailed; but he gives the impression, not too common, of
having really read the books he recommends.” A. F. P.

“An interpretation of the gospel, the letters, and the apocalypse of
John the ‘beloved disciple,’ founded on the assumption that the John
who wrote the five Johannine books was the Apostle John. Over against
the tremendous logical structure of the Pauline gospel, Dr Hayes
places the gospel according to John, as the doctrine of the church of
the future, since it is founded and consummated in love. He regards
the first epistle of John as better than any of the epistles of Paul.
‘John was a prophet; Paul an advocate. ... Paul’s epistles are
treatises. ... John makes confident assertion of the truth,’”—R of Rs

“His style is clear and full of human touches that are fascinating in
their suggestiveness. ... The discussion of the authorship of the
fourth gospel is fair; the various views and their advocates are well

In his introduction to this anthology Stewart Edward White points out
the change that came over out-door poetry in the period following the
nineties, reflecting a change in our attitude to out-door life. In
that early verse, he says, “you are apt to have been wearing ‘Lincoln
green’ and a feather in your cap at that. But with Kipling’s ‘Feet of
the young men’ as a sort of dividing line, later verse takes an
entirely new attitude and you don your khaki.” In selecting poems for
the volume the compilers have applied a double test: “We have tried to
exclude all poems not conceived in the true spirit of the sportsman
and to include no poems devoid of literary merit.” (Preface)

A brief, dependable account of the fate of Alsace-Lorraine since its
annexation by the Germans at the end of the Franco-Prussian war. A
preliminary chapter traces the history of mediaeval Alsace and
Lorraine, thru later acquisition by France, the character of French
rule for over two hundred years and the part the provinces took in the
French revolution, the Napoleonic wars and the war which wrenched them
from France. In the main body of the book are treated the German
agitation for the conquest of Alsace-Lorraine, arguments for
annexation in 1871, the remonstrance of the two provinces against it,
the spirit and methods of German rule since annexation, and the
resistance to the persistent attempts at Germanization. The writer is
professor of history in Columbia university.

“Professor Hazen’s new book offers the most complete and, basically,

English. It is, however, not difficult to find many flaws in the new
book. Historical, in the highest sense, the book is not, as it shows
little of the fine balance and breadth of view which the reader
expects from the author of ‘Europe since 1815.’ Rather does it bear
frequent evidence of the heat which forged it, of haste, and even of
confusion.”

=HAZEN, CHARLES DOWNER.= French revolution and Napoleon, maps *$2.50 (3½c) Holt 944.04 17-8744

The author has brought together in this volume the chapters from his
“Modern European history” that deal with the French revolution and
Napoleon. He has done this for the convenience of those who wish to
review that period of history, as a means to a better understanding of
our present crisis. The author says, “Between that period and our own
not only are there points of interesting and suggestive comparison but
there is also a distinct line of causation connecting the two.”

“A book outwardly attractive and charmingly written; it will probably
be a popular text-book and, compared with other volumes of the same
size, it will deserve to be popular. Tested by the ideal standard of
what such a volume might be, it is more open to criticism. As to the
incorrect statements of facts, while there are fewer than in the
majority of school-texts dealing with this same period, there are
still more than necessary, more than should be allowed to stand in a
revised edition of the work. The connection between these periods and
the present war is not made especially clear; it is treated very
incidentally. Perhaps it could not be made clear in a work that ends
with the Congress of Vienna; it might have been shown in two chapters
on the great world development that has led to a world war.” F. M.

The papers on the Peace congresses of Vienna, Paris, and Berlin
contained in this volume were written for the meeting of the American
historical association held in Cincinnati in 1916. The congress of
Vienna is treated by Charles Downer Hazen; The congress of Paris, by
William Roscoe Thayer; The congress of Berlin, by Robert Howard Lord.
In addition there is a paper on Claimants to Constantinople, by
Archibald Cary Coolidge. The problem of Constantinople is pronounced
by Henry Eldridge Bourne in his introduction “the most important
single question to which the war must furnish an answer.”

“All the papers are interesting and suggestive. Mr Thayer’s alone is
rather shabbily dressed so far as literary form is concerned and not
exactly punctilious in its impartiality. Mr Coolidge’s article on
‘Claimants to Constantinople’ is a clear, well-balanced, and

events which intervened between the afternoon of Wednesday, July 29,

=HEALY, WILLIAM.= Mental conflicts and misconduct. *$2.50 (3c) Little 136.7 17-9835

Mr Healy is director of the Psychopathic institute, in connection with
the Juvenile court of Chicago, and author of “The individual
delinquent.” This work on the part mental conflict plays in
delinquency is an outgrowth of his experience. In general the
conclusions arrived at conform to those of Freud, but the author is
not a Freudian disciple. Acknowledgment is made to the psycho-analytic
school for enlightenment, but the author’s studies have been followed
independently, with no intention of proving any particular theory. The
first four chapters are of a general nature, discussing principles,
methods, etc. The main body of the book is given up to description and
analysis of cases, arranged under such headings as: Conflicts
accompanied by obsessive imagery; Conflicts causing impelling ideas;
Criminal careers developed from conflicts; Conflict arising from sex
experiences; Conflicts arising from secret sex knowledge; Conflicts
concerning parentage, etc.

“His exposition of the methods of getting at the mental conflicts, as
well as the method itself, is so simple that it obviates much of the
occultism of some psycho-analysts. His reliance primarily upon the
presentation of the facts of the clinic and the procedure therein
makes it a work which must be made a starting-point by any future
worker in the same field. It would seem that the cases could have been
more carefully classified and presented more systematically. ... The
genius of the author as shown in the application of this method of
treatment to a class of juvenile offenders cannot be too highly
commended.” T: H. Haines, M.D.

“No writer in the field of criminological literature has done so much

criminality. He has established psychological research as one of the
most valuable approaches to the real understanding of the problem.
This is the first rational explanation of that class of cases where
the criminal confesses to impulses which he cannot explain. Dr Healy
establishes the value of psycho-analysis as a genuine scientific
procedure. The work is thoroughly scientific and of absorbing interest
to all who are handling misconduct problems, especially those of
adolescent children.” J. P. L.

idea of mental conflict is ill-defined, and in the use made of the
notion of repression lurk many doubtful assumptions. The sound

he connects them.”

Gilbert Murray, fellow Oxonian and fellow collegian of Heath’s.”—Dial

=HEINE, HEINRICH.= Poems. il *$2 Holt 831 17-10874

Louis Untermeyer has selected and translated three hundred and
twenty-five of the poems of Heinrich Heine. These include not only the
well-known “lieder,” but selections from “Die Nord see” and some of
the poems from “Die Harz reise” series as well. The translator says,
“I have endeavored, by the selections chosen, to show Heine’s lyrical
power not only at its best but at its most characteristic. For this
reason I have included many poems usually glossed over by his
translators; poems that are trivial enough in themselves, but
necessary to the series that contains them, and necessary also to a
complete appreciation of Heine’s development.” The introduction is
important as a piece of criticism, and in his translations Mr
Untermeyer has endeavored to retain a quality too often lost in the
English versions, the bitter flavor that is so characteristically
Heine.

“The poems are translated into vivid English verse.”

+ =A L A Bkl= 14:50 N ‘17

“Mr Untermeyer approaches Heine from three standpoints—that of the
man, of the poet and of the paradox. He clears away at the very
beginning much of the rubbish which has collected about the Heine
tradition. His translation as a whole is not only satisfactory but
deserves the highest praise for its faithfulness to both spirit and
text and for the keenness with which he has made more clear the
complex genius of Heine.” D. L. M.

+ =Boston Transcript= p6 Ag 1 ‘17 1050w

“Heine’s simplicity is a trap for the unwary. That simplicity is the
art that conceals art and can be reproduced only by one who is a poet
in his own right, responsive to the same medium and claiming the same
racial background. It took a Jewish poet to translate the Jewish
poet. ... Comment on the volume would be inadequate without reference
to Mr Untermeyer’s scholarly (not academic) preface which, except for
its failure to praise the translator, constitutes the best possible
review of the work.” B: W. Huebsch

+ =Dial= 62:399 My 3 ‘17 930w

“The book will give to those who do not read German a real knowledge
of a great poet; it will please those who do read German because it is
a true and faithful rendering; and it will take its place as something
more than a translation, because, thanks to the introduction and the
choice and arrangement of the poems it is an interpretative and
critical essay.”

“The result of Mr Untermeyer’s labor is not merely passing good, it is

has caught the spirit of Heine.”

“Mr Untermeyer has unquestionably brought the reader who has no German
closer to the source. If he has not quite succeeded in translating
Heine the poet, he has succeeded very often in translating Heine the
wit. ... Nevertheless, Mr Untermeyer’s volume is a little of a
disappointment. One expected something more than a ‘libretto’ from a
poet who takes his calling so seriously. It was really Heine the
artist that we wanted.” Paul Rosenfeld

Helen of Four Gates. *$1.50 (2c) Dutton 17-16318

An anonymous story of the north country moors, by an Englishwoman said
to have worked in a cotton mill for nearly the whole of the twenty
years since she was eleven. Her grip upon the elemental in men and
women, her uncanny imagination, her power of picturing cruelty and
horror, and love unashamed, remind the reader of Eden Phillpotts, of
Emily Brontë and of Edgar Allan Poe. An old and well-to-do farmer,
Abel Mason, has never forgiven the sweetheart of his youth for casting
him aside because of insanity in his family. After she and her husband
have died, Abel adopts their daughter, Helen, whom he passes off as
his own child in order to sate his longing for revenge upon her. When
Helen falls in love with Martin, a lad working on the farm, Abel tells
him that Helen carries the taint of insanity in her blood. Martin
refuses either to marry Helen or to leave her, and for years the old
man watches their sufferings with delight and invents new tortures
until, by cunning schemes, he drives Martin from the farm and forces
Helen into marriage with a tramp. The happy ending, though unexpected,
is convincing, and does not leave the reader with a sense of
anti-climax.

“‘Helen of Four Gates’ is an unusual novel. Its atmosphere is dark and
morbid and its characters are nearly all abnormal. Nevertheless, the
author has created in it a very real atmosphere of terror, and to some

“It is plain that in theme and treatment she has been, probably

she pictures the rich loveliness of an English countryside in

miseries of the human element. The author has somewhat overshot the

This is a simply told story of a war marriage—the oft-enacted tale of
the young Englishman who comes back from the horrors of the front to
his quietly appointed English home with its circle of adoring
relatives and his waiting girl bride. It is English in its quiet
courage, pathetic in its telling of the stepping aside of the parents
that those two might be all in all to each other during the short four
days’ leave. It is real in its recording of the simple details and the
last goodbye at the station where the two smiled back into each
other’s eyes while a voice sounded behind them: “The average life of
an officer in the Dardanelles is eleven days,” and above the singing
of “Rule Britannia” shrilled the voice of a hunchback “I came that
they might have Life.”

life is a necessary consequence of the earth’s physical and chemical

the teleological principles of Aristotle and of the philosophers of
the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries are sketched, and then the
biological and evolutionary doctrines are briefly reviewed. ... The
last chapters are given to a discussion of the unique properties of
the three elements, hydrogen, carbon, and oxygen. And it is on the
examination of the properties and activities of these elements that
the author hopes to show the teleological order of the universe. A

Perhaps it was a little inconsistent that a girl who “felt the
irresistible call of the raw,” who languished in a civilized
atmosphere should be obsessed with the idea of carrying the blessings
of civilization to the Indian. Nevertheless the school that she is to
establish gives the needed pretext for getting Chloe Elliston into the
north, and that is all that matters. Once there her interest is
divided between two men. Pierre Lapierre and Bob, called Brute,
MacNair. Both are free traders and there is rivalry to the death
between them. One is a dastard and knave, one an honest man, and,
under his crude exterior, a gentleman. But Chloe makes the mistake of

of Christianity, the life and teaching of Him we call our Lord and
Master; to try to enter into His mind and gain an insight of the
religion He believed in and lived by. The following pages are an
attempt to bring before the reader some of the leading principles of
that religion with the purpose and the hope of inducing him to make a
thorough study of a subject until recently too much neglected—‘the
truth as it is in Jesus,’ and not as it is in the churches or in the
Letter-writers of the New Testament.” The trend of the author’s
discussion all goes to show that the history of the Christian church
has been one of deviation from the teachings of its founder. In this
he finds the explanation of the weakness of the church in modern life.
