=SHEPHERD, WILLIAM GUNN.= Confessions of a war correspondent. il *$1 (3c) Harper 940.91 17-17737

Mr Shepherd, as reporter for the United press association, covered the
fall of Antwerp, is credited with being the only newspaper
correspondent who saw the first battle of Ypres, was with the
Austrians at Przemysl, and has visited the British, German and Italian
fronts. In this book, he does not describe battles, but gives us a
picturesque narrative of a war correspondent’s daily life. In the
chapter entitled “The forty-two-centimeter blue pencil,” he states the
case for censorship. In the last chapter, There are worse things than
slaughter, he tells of the “moral and mental disintegration that is
caused by military service in individual cases.” Other interesting
chapters are The free-lance and the faker and The psychology of
retreats.

entertaining and apparently truthful account of a war reporter’s

=SHEPPARD, ALFRED TRESIDDER.= Quest Of Ledgar Dunstan. *$1.50 (1c) Appleton 17-21976

“This is the second volume in what may prove to be an extensive series
about the same personage. In the earlier novel—‘The rise of Ledgar
Dunstan’—we saw the boyhood of Dunstan, and followed him through the
processes of growth and rebellion in the midst of a conventionally
religious family. The present chronicle begins immediately after his
marriage to Mary Beltinge of Beltinge. Dunstan, ‘of obscure
middle-class origin, and a novelist whose name was just beginning to
be known,’ ... lacks spine, effectiveness, precisely in the proportion
that he does not lack a complacent self-sufficiency and a capacity for
feeling, for suffering. It speedily becomes apparent to Mary that the
marriage to Dunstan was a blunder, and in the course of their wedding
trip in Brittany she coolly relinquishes him in favor of an American
artist, one Lincoln, and virtually leaves the story. ... What concerns
the novelist, thereafter, is to trace the progress of Dunstan’s
despair, spiritual chastisement and final readjustment. ... For the
really important business of the book, however, he introduces, and
delineates at great length, an extraordinary character, a decayed
genius who imagines himself the realization of the ancient idea of
Anti-Christ.”—Boston Transcript

“Not the sort of novel to please vastly the casual story-reader. But
obviously Mr Sheppard is not one of those novelists whose aim is
popular success. He has achieved something finer and more difficult,
for this book is an uncommonly subtle and well-sustained story of weak
souls, and of the doctrines that brought one to destruction and the
other to salvation.” F. I.

“Here is a remarkable novel, something quite outside the ordinary ruck
of fiction, something different, distinctive, startling,
thought-compelling, and cataclysmic. ... Mr Sheppard has evidently
made a close study of various forms of mania, especially of religious
mania, and his book is an impassioned plea for reform in our treatment
of lunatics, which he asserts is the grossest scandal of our
civilisation. ... We have had this kind of thing in fiction before,
but never, perhaps, have we had so startling, so convincing, and so
minute a study of the horror and ugliness of madhouse life.”

=SHEPPARD, ALFRED TRESIDDER.= Rise of Ledgar Dunstan. *$1.50 Appleton 16-22850

“This novel is of the type of J. D. Beresford’s ‘Early history of
Jacob Stahl,’ following the life of its hero from boyhood to maturity.
Ledgar Dunstan is a drifter, a somewhat spineless sort of person.
Brought up very strictly by an austere Baptist father in a convention
of ‘Thou shalt nots,’ he presently comes to London and finds himself
without any code at all. He rejects that of his father and seems to
lack sufficient energy and sufficient interest in living either to
make or to adopt one for himself. Several persons leave him money, he
is successful as a writer, and the book ends with a marriage into
which he has slipped more because it was an easy and agreeable thing
to do than for any other reason.”—N Y Times

“The book is ingenious and brilliant rather than sound and sincere.”

“A chaotic vehement mist of ideas hangs over the entire story. Mr
Sheppard is so much addicted to thinking in ink that ‘The rise of
Ledgar Dunstan’ comes near to striding the border that separates
fiction from philosophy. ... When the author chooses to narrate, he
can, and in a most telling manner. He has accuracy of touch and
sympathy and insight. He has an experience which he must have gained
from a varied life, a breadth of view which approaches the universal,
and above all the saving grace of humor which prevents him taking
himself with too deadly a seriousness. Thus ‘The rise of Ledgar
Dunstan’ has a character and it has promise of a better sequel.” J. P.

“His infancy, his boyhood, his younger manhood, are laid before us
with that scrupulous (and ruthless) particularity which the ‘life’

equal—or rather, under one condition: that the human subject of our
study shall be inherently worth our trouble. ... Ledgar Dunstan fails,
in the present instalment of his story, to prove his worth for us.”

“Generally the reader has an irritating feeling that Ledgar Dunstan
ought to be both real and interesting, and is neither. ... Could

fails to realize is the nature of the art of fiction. There can be no

devastates the book, and, as for the cracking of jokes, we are goaded,
ravaged, desolated by them.”

=SHERMAN, STUART PRATT.= Matthew Arnold; how to know him. il *$1.50 Bobbs 17-13963

One chapter is devoted to Matthew Arnold’s character and career, and
the remainder of the book is then given up to a study of his work.
“Matthew Arnold is a charming but not an altogether conciliatory
writer,” says the author in beginning his first chapter. “If you
disagree with him, he does not encourage you to believe that you may
be in the right.” The literary study is divided into the following
chapters: Poems of the personal life; Poems of the external world;
Literary criticism; Education; Politics and society; Religion. The
author is professor of English in the University of Illinois.

“A good volume for any small library needing a separate work.”

+ =A L A Bkl= 14:16 O ‘17

“Professor Sherman approaches his task with a complete understanding
of his subject, and in his brief volume he has written an
exceptionally able and comprehensive introduction to a study of the
work and influence of Matthew Arnold.” E. F. E.

“An excellent appreciation of [Arnold’s] ability as poet and literary
critic.”

+ =Cath World= 105:830 S ‘17 550w

“The reader will turn from the book with a distinct impression of
Matthew Arnold as a person, and with a pretty clear concept of what he
considered it necessary to believe regarding poetry, education,
politics, and religion—if one would see life and see it whole. ... It
is, however, an invitation to substitute knowledge about Arnold for
acquaintance with him. ... I am not finding fault with the content,
style, or spirit of the book. My criticism goes deeper, or else is
beside the mark. I object to the general theory upon which the book is
based; I attack Mr Sherman’s method.” M. C. Otto

+ — =Dial= 62:516 Je 14 ‘17 1700w

“The author was braced by diligence both in the collecting of minor
material and in the weaving of it into a predetermined disquisitive
pattern to square with an inherently unsympathetic attitude toward the
poet and essayist. But tho the verse quotations from Arnold are not
always of the best, certain contributory information of real worth (as
in ‘Literary criticism’) may, here and there, be culled from the 314
pages.”

=Ind= 91:78 Jl 14 ‘17 70w

“Usually books of the ‘how to know’ order consist of a mass of facts
with directions for study but with little aid to real insight. This,
however, provides a reader with a sound basis for both appreciation
and criticism. This is the more effective because the biographical
chapter at the beginning is a real introduction to the man himself.”

+ =Lit D= 55:45 D 1 ‘17 270w

“Mr Sherman has the gift of style. He says exactly what he wishes to
say, without hurry, without circumlocution, without bungling. [He]
does admirable justice to Arnold’s life as a record of noble and
unselfish endeavor; the life of a man who preached everywhere the duty
of perfecting our natures, moral, intellectual, aesthetic, social, and
religious. The book may be heartily commended to those who wish to
understand why Arnold is still an important influence in the world. Mr
Sherman skilfully and judiciously expounds the very helpful idea that
the interest and charm of Arnold’s essays lie far more in their
extraordinary power to stimulate interest, curiosity, and the
aesthetic sense, than in the correctness of his estimates. His best
message, here as elsewhere, is moral and religious.” H: B. Hinckley

=SHERMAN, STUART PRATT.=[2] On contemporary literature. *$1.50 (2c) Holt 820.4 18-773

A collection of critical essays that have appeared in the Nation. The
word contemporary is given a broad interpretation, admitting of the
inclusion of Shakespeare. “Shakespeare is here,” says the author,
“because I find him the most interesting and suggestive of living
writers. His presence helps one to distinguish the values of his
competitors. His humanism serves as a measure of the degrees of their
naturalism.” Contents: The democracy of Mark Twain; The Utopian
naturalism of H. G. Wells; The barbaric naturalism of Theodore
Dreiser; The realism of Arnold Bennett; The aesthetic naturalism of
George Moore; The skepticism of Anatole France; The exoticism of John
Synge; The complacent Toryism of Alfred Austin; The aesthetic idealism
of Henry James; The humanism of George Meredith; Shakespeare, our

“Despite the limitations suggested by the titles, Professor Sherman
gives a fairly complete view of each of his ten modern writers.” E. F.
E.

+ — =Boston Transcript= p7 D 22 ‘17 770w

“Mr Sherman really offers us many acute and many weighty pages; there
is a subterranean stream of humor from whose half-hidden courses one
may occasionally sip a gratefully saline draught; and his
introduction, which is really the essence of the book, begins on a
charming, captivating note, and rises toward the end, where the war
enters, to a tone of noble gravity. Yet one finds a little too much
deference, however cloaked, for our farther East, and an unwillingness
to give recognition to the fact that this spinning world must change.”
H: B. Fuller

– + =Dial= 64:105 Ja 31 ‘18 1450w

“The essence of Mr Sherman’s criticism is American correctness, that
bloodless correctness to which New England has given its wintry
flavor. It is correctness rampant that makes Mr Sherman’s crest
different from the ordinary heraldry; and the main delectation of his
book is its conservative call to arms. Mr Sherman preaches a forlorn
gospel when he begs us to cower behind the moral life of the race to
peer at art.” F. H.

— =New Repub= 13:318 Ja 12 ‘18 2100w

“We have said that Mr Sherman is thoughtful, but we do not stand
sponsor for much of his thinking. Much of it is muddled, or is cast in
such a mold that all sense of perspective is lost. We cannot escape
the feeling that Mr Sherman as critic plays second fiddle to Mr
Sherman as echo of literary and popular opinion.” F. J. K.

“Mr Sherman is a literary critic primarily, with the insight and the
equipment, the disinterestedness and the sympathy with which the
literary critic must needs be endowed if his work is to win respect;
and yet, so closely is literature related to life that Mr Sherman, in
dealing with three of the novelists of the moment, is compelled to be
a moralist. ... In these three papers [on Wells and Dreiser and Moore]
inspired by one purpose he rises above the criticism of literature to
the criticism of life itself.” Brander Matthews

“It is precisely this uncompromising attitude that becomes so
irritating to those of us who happen to look upon contemporary letters
with a more open mind and a more indulgent spirit. Professor Sherman,
with his invaluable background of classicism ... is a qualified and
much needed preceptor of public aesthetics. But not content with this,
he appoints himself custodian of the public morals. ... It would be
ungracious not to mention in conclusion the almost flawless
appreciation of Henry James.” F: T. Cooper

that he has strong convictions, but is shy of proclaiming them.”

“This book treats of the various ways of convincing and persuading
men. While intended as a text-book for high schools and colleges, it
is also adapted to the needs of the lawyer, the preacher, the teacher,
the citizen: in short, to any one who is called upon—and who is
not?—to urge the acceptance of his ideas upon a hearer, or to refute
ideas offered in opposition thereto.” (Preface) The book is an
outgrowth of the author’s former work, “Science and art of debate,”
published in 1908. Contents: Introduction—The advantages of debate;
The proposition; Analysis of the question; Proof; Evidence;
Arguments—constructive; Argument—refutation; The brief; Persuasion;
Methods in school and college debating. Questions for debate, a
specimen debate, rules of parliamentary procedure, bibliographies,
etc., are given in appendixes.

This collection of selections in prose and verse has been prepared by
the professor of public speaking in the University of Texas, who says,
“Practically every selection in this volume has been tried out in
class work and in public contests. ... The declamations are intended
for training the public speaker, and not the dramatic reader or mere

=SIDGWICK, CECILY (ULLMANN) (MRS ALFRED SIDGWICK).= Salt of the earth. *$1.40 Watt 17-20666

Brenda Müller, the heroine, was of German parentage, but English
training and sympathies. She visited her relatives in Germany several
times, and some of them visited the Müllers in England. This ended in
her marriage to her cousin, Lothar Erdmann, a typical Prussian
officer, settled in Berlin. Brenda was unhappy among Lothar’s
relatives and friends, who thought themselves the “salt of the earth,”
and her husband proved unfaithful, but though she realized that she
had made a mistake, she stood ready to pay the price. When the war
broke out and Lothar was called to the colors, he forced Brenda to
remain with his parents in Berlin, but later she followed him to
Belgium, and eventually escaped to her parents in London. Lothar also
went to London to direct Zeppelin raids, and was shot as a spy.

the story is timely but lacks reality.”

“The author is introduced to the American public by the

‘Eyvind of the hills,’ is based on a romantic story of an eighteenth

service as a farm hand. His mistress Halla, a well-to-do widow, falls
in love with him; and rejecting the advances of Björn the bailiff, who
has discovered that the supposed farm hand is the notorious outlaw,
she flees to the mountains with her lover. ... The second piece, ‘The

The aim of this book by the director of Greenwich house, New York
city, is to describe simply and briefly the main facts concerning the
life of the industrial population of an American city. The term
“industrial family” as used in her study, is applied to wage-workers
whose family income ranges from $1,500 down to the minimum of
subsistence below which the family becomes a public charge. The
question to which she gives attention is: “How does this important
group of workers live? Not only what are the incomes and expenditures
of this group, but what values lie in this group that we cannot afford
to lose from the social whole, and what is society already doing or
failing to do to protect these values and develop them for the sake of
us all?” Contents: The industrial family; Dwellings; Standard of
living; Education; At work; Leisure; Health; Poverty; Politics;
Religion.

“With the facts that are presented, all persons who have been
interested in the life of the working people are fairly well
acquainted, but the arrangement and the interpretation are frequently
original, and the synthetic treatment is a real contribution to social
literature. ... The book is full of clever phrasing and keen
interpretation.” F. H. Streightoff

=SIMS, NEWELL LEROY.= Ultimate democracy and its making. *$1.50 (1½c) McClurg 321.8 17-13223

The author, who is professor of sociology and political science in the
University of Florida, tells us that he has used much of the
subjectmatter of this book in lectures delivered in and about New York
city and in a classroom course. His purpose is to clarify “the meaning
and aims of democracy.” He deals with ancient, modern, and “ultimate”
democracy. “As conceived by him democracy is essentially a matter of
equality, with liberty and fraternity as necessary expressions. It
existed in the pioneer days of America, but has declined under the
inequalities forced by our rapid industrial growth and under our
wholesale welcoming of alien populations. This decline, he believes,
is only temporary. Democracy will again come into its own when a
program of four necessary changes has been fulfilled—economic
equality; a eugenics to prevent inefficiency; a new type of
sovereignty in which ‘the popular will causes the whole social
organism to function for the good of all its parts’; and finally,
‘social equilibration,’ a process of so equalizing the various
energies of the race that occasions for disturbances like wars between
classes or nations will disappear.” (Survey)

means, the book is a useful and in some ways a noteworthy

sally, rather than the outcome of years of study. And indeed, if one

just this: that the book is not, to all appearance, the ripe result of
a life study. No doubt the brilliant author would grow tired of
philosophy long before she had given a lifetime to it. And that is

=SINCLAIR, UPTON BEALL.= King Coal. *$1.50 (1½c) Macmillan 17-24400

What Upton Sinclair did for the stockyards in “The jungle,” he does
for the unorganized coal mining camps in “King Coal.” There is a brief
introduction by Georg Brandes, and a postscript of thirteen pages by
the author giving his sources of information, etc. He tells us that
most of the details of his picture were gathered in Colorado, which he
visited three times during and just after the great coal strike of
1914-15. The greater part of the source material in print used was
“sworn testimony, taken under government supervision.” The leading
character in the book is Hal Warner, known as Joe Smith, a rich boy of
twenty-one, still in college, who, as a result of arguments with an
older brother as to the conditions in the coal mines, decides to work
as a miner during his summer vacation that he may gain first-hand
knowledge of the situation. He becomes first a mule tender and later a
“buddy,” or miner’s helper. His rich and beautiful fiancée is lightly
sketched in. “Red Mary,” a forceful young Irish girl at the camp, also
falls in love with him, but the emotional is subordinated to the
sociological interest in the story. “Joe” meets men of various
nationalities, learns how the company has got into its clutch “all the
legal, political and social safeguards of personal rights and social
welfare”; and takes part in the fight for a check-weighman to guard
against cheating, for various safety measures and for the right to
form a union.
