Chapter LXXXII: Part 4: is given up to appendices devoted to the more advanced (7)

Cecilia was born in a tenement and this is a story of her gradual
ascent in social life and her natural sweet-heartedness through all
the trials that the process involved. Her mother died of hardship and
when, after her death, through his knowledge of bricks and a kindly
priest’s knowledge of the world, her father made money, everything
that would have been lavished upon the wife was showered upon the
daughter. It was the priest who guided Cecilia through her
difficulties from childhood to marriage, and in spite of the charm of
the heroine, Father McGowan remains the outstanding character of the
book.

“Not since the advent of Pollyanna have we found in fiction a little
girl who seemed to promise so much in the way of popularity as does
this little Cecilia. ... The story is essentially a love story.
Everyone, including the hero, is in love with Cecilia from the
first. ... Sympathy and humor run through the story.”

“Frankly sentimental books often disarm the worldly-wise by simple
charm. Katharine Haviland Taylor has done this in her first book.
Apart from minor faults—such as dragging the unwarned reader too
suddenly from one scene to another, and frequent repetition of the
same word in a paragraph—‘Cecilia of the pink roses’ is as sweet and
fresh as the flowers themselves.”

“More than one-half of the volume is taken up with electrical
subjects. The hydraulic material is given in the first two chapters
and in a few tables and diagrams. This hydraulic material, as stated
in the preface, has been largely supplied by Mr Taylor. ... The work
carries the subtitle, ‘A compilation of useful data and information on
the design, construction and operation of hydro-electric systems from
the penstocks to distribution lines,’ which well describes its scope.
A considerable portion of the contents consists of articles which have
appeared in technical journals, particularly descriptions of
hydro-electric plants.”—Engin News-Rec

“A useful work of reference. ... A notable and commendable feature of
the book is the entire absence of half-tone illustrations. Line
drawings are used throughout, thus obviating the necessity of using
paper with a highly glazed surface and showing clearly, in diagrams
and cross-sections, what could not be presented so exactly and with
sufficient detail in any other way.” Alfred Still

The author has collected here “the most beautiful love-lyrics written
in English by women since the middle of the last century.” (Preface)
Only two of the hundred lyrics included are of an earlier date—Lady
Barnard’s “Auld Robin Gray” and Susanna Blamire’s “Siller crown.” No
long poems are included, and no translations, and the compiler has
avoided “poems in which the poet dramatized a man’s feelings rather
than her own.” Some of the authors included are: Amy Lowell, Christina
Rossetti, Emily Dickinson, Moira O’Neill, Edith M. Thomas, Sarojini
Naidu, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Lizette Woodworth Reese, Harriet
Monroe, Alice Meynell and Grace Fallow Norton. There is an index of
first lines and an index of authors.

“Miss Teasdale has not taken away the joy of discovery by giving us

“No one has written better love songs than [the compiler] has in the

“The anthology does not represent one school or one period to the

Black sea, and around the Dniester and the Bug; includes an account of
the Serbian mediæval empire; tells the sombre tale of Kossovo;
describes the Turkish occupation; and relates some of the deeds of the

expulsion of the Turks from Serbia. He concludes with a detailed
review of the periods of Austro-Hungarian and Russophile influence, as
well as of the thorny problems associated with Macedonia. The book ...

“The title is chosen in compliment to Bergson’s ‘Creative

(Spec) “The plan of the volume may be briefly outlined. Part 1 deals
with epistemological and metaphysical questions. Part 2 is a
discussion of art, its meaning and value. Part 3 deals with the
problem of conduct; while part 4 investigates the general nature of
religion in its relation to science, art, and morality. The preceding
four divisions constitute book 1. In book 2 the writer takes up the
problem of revealed religion and finds in it the ultimate solution of
the issues he has raised.” (Hibbert J)

“Covers a wide field, and discusses problems of a very varied kind. Mr
Temple’s work is unequal: some of his discussions are suggestive and
helpful in a high degree, while others are rapid, meagre, and
disappointing. But even at his worst the author is never superficial
and commonplace, and when at his best he is very vigorous and
stimulating. The style is always clear, and the reader is never in
doubt about the author’s meaning. ... Some of the most fresh and

“Mr Temple has not exactly shown us that all roads of human

difficulties as was the ‘Summa’ of the learned Dominican to the

carefully read. In essence it is an expansion of the Pauline doctrine
in the Epistle to the Romans; but Mr Temple brings a fresh mind to
bear on the perplexing problem. ... It is difficult even to indicate
in a review the merits of a book so closely reasoned, so full of

=TERHUNE, ALBERT PAYSON.= Dollars and cents. il *$1.35 (2½c) Shores 17-13188

Dan and Madge Hilyer are living on thirteen dollars a week when the
story opens. Poverty had come upon them suddenly, and their
prosperity, when it comes, is another of fortune’s quick changes.
During the days of pinching economy it had been the wife who bore the
brunt, and when sudden wealth comes, she cannot make the transition.
At restaurants Madge figured up the cost of every dish. At the opera
she could not enjoy the music for thinking of the price of seats. Taxi
fares were to her a criminal extravagance. The result of this state of
mind on her part, combined with her husband’s jealousy of Arthur
Crewe, the old lover from whom she had once borrowed money, is marital
unhappiness. A crisis is averted and harmony restored by the
intervention of Arthur Crewe, who succeeds in bringing both husband
and wife to a saner point of view.

“The situation is an interesting and a natural one; but unfortunately

=THOMAS, CALVIN.= Goethe. *$2 (2c) Holt 17-25237

Professor Thomas of Columbia university, whose edition of “Faust” has
long been a standard college text, has written a biographical and
critical study of Goethe. “Every scholar,” he says “has his own Dante,
his own Shakspere, his own Goethe. This book presents my Goethe as I
see him after nearly forty years of university teaching during which
he has never been long out of my thoughts. ... But this is not the
work of a hierophant or a panegyrist. ... What I have tried to do is
to portray him faithfully in those larger aspects of his mind and art
and life-work that make him so uniquely interesting.” The first
chapters, about one half of the volume, sketch Goethe’s life. The
remainder of the book is critical, with chapters devoted to: The
philosopher; The evolutionist; The believer; The poet; The dramatist;
The novelist; The critic; Faust. Bibliography, notes and index follow.

grouped geographically, but there has been no effort to link them
together as objects of a “pilgrimage.” A few of the modern writers are
included, and occasionally there is in the grouping a pleasant
juxtaposition of the old and the new, as in the section on the west

advantages of municipal ownership.” (Subtitle) The author argues that
private ownership is wrong in theory, saying, “The private ownership
of a public utility is fundamentally hostile to and inconsistent with
the public welfare,” and he brings together evidence to show that it
is unsatisfactory in practice. “Whatever else may be said against
municipal ownership,” he says, “it is pretty hard to meet the argument
drawn from practical experience.”

are too antiquated to be of any value whatever, as for example those
which have been so freely drawn from Professor Frank Parsons’ ‘City

During the past fifteen years the principles and methods of scientific
management which were formulated and propagated by Frederick Winslow
Taylor have been thoroughly tested. It is now Mr Thompson’s aim to
survey the movement and make an appraisal of it. He devotes a chapter
to “What scientific management is”; one to the originator of the
movement, Frederick Winslow Taylor; while the body of the discussion
deals with scientific management in practice, and some economic
aspects of the movement. The results which are offered are derived
from personal inspection of plants in twelve states where scientific
management is in operation and from conferences with owners, managers
and experts employed.

throughout the whole range of organic morphology there are innumerable
phenomena of form which are not peculiar to living things, but which
are more or less simple manifestations of ordinary physical laws.’
This thesis Professor Thompson elaborates in a most interesting
manner, developing with the aid of our fuller knowledge of physical
forces and of the conditions under which they act, the mode of study
initiated by Borelli many years ago, and applied, more recently, with
striking and suggestive results, to several forms of organic activity
by Rhumbler, Leduc, Przibram, Macallum and others.”—Science

“It is clear and lucid, and deals with problems of enormous, often of
surprising, interest—problems of science and problems of philosophy.
The exposition is so admirable that no one need fear that the
mathematics will obscure for him the philosophy, or the philosophy the
science, or the science and philosophy the mathematics. The striking
success and the amazing simplicity and beauty of the results will
silence at once any sceptical doubt as to the utility of the method.”

=THOMPSON, VANCE.= Woman. *$1.25 (3c) Dutton 396 17-7543

The author comes out fervently as a champion of the new woman in her
fight for freedom. This rapidly advancing movement toward emancipation
is the most important thing happening in the world today. All other
problems “are of relative unimportance beside the overwhelming
significance of this new fact: the rise of woman.” Women are freeing
themselves from the over-specialization of sex; and this means the
freeing of the race. “Woman cannot do her duty to the race unless she
fulfills her duty to herself. The welfare of the race and the
individual are as indissoluble as a word and its meaning; they are a
bi-unity.” The author sketches rapidly the historical position of
woman, then discusses the present-day significance of the woman
movement.

=A L A Bkl= 14:114 Ja ‘18

“The frankest, truest, simplest and most compact exposition of the
causes and the meaning of the feminist movement that has ever come to
my attention. It is also the most entertaining. It is a picturesque
and a provocative book—but it is not likely to provoke in any two
people just the same feeling about it. Mr Thompson evidently believes
in the feminist movement very earnestly and ardently. But his book,
deeply searching and keenly discerning though it is in its discussion
of most of the phases of the woman problem, grows evasive and even
blind when it comes down to what is to-day the biggest and most
difficult practical problem of the whole matter. And that is the
economic status of married women.” F. F. Kelly

=THOREAU, HENRY DAVID.= Through the year with Thoreau; sketches of nature from the writings of H: D: Thoreau; ed. by Herbert W. Gleason. il *$3 Houghton 818 17-22277

“The present volume is an endeavor ... to reproduce, with the aid of
photographs, some of the outdoor scenes and natural phenomena in which
he [Thoreau] delighted and which he has so graphically described. The
series of views is limited, of necessity, but a sufficient number are
given to illustrate Thoreau’s method of nature-study as well as to
emphasize anew the accuracy and felicity of his nature-descriptions.
It is hoped, also, that this combination of verbal and pictorial
representation will stimulate to a wider apprehension and a more vivid
realization of the beautiful in nature,—thus continuing in a measure,
Thoreau’s self-appointed mission.” (Preface) The quotations from
Thoreau, chosen largely, but not wholly, from the “Journals” are
arranged, as the title suggests, to follow the changing seasons. The
illustrations, selected from a large collection of photographs by Mr
Gleason, are related intimately to the text, and include not only
scenes associated with Thoreau, but studies of the plant and bird life
described by him. Among them are remarkable pictures of the more
delicate flowers, leaves and lichens, also of frost crystals.

“A good gift book for readers of Thoreau.”

“The illustrations are worthy of the poet-naturalist in that they
include not merely the conventional landscapes and ‘pretty’ flowers,
but less usual and less promising subjects, such as the skunk-cabbage,
fungi, icicles under a bank, and the ‘sand-foliage’ produced by liquid
mud on the snow in the railroad cut. Mr Gleason has put into his
photographs as much of an artist’s individuality as the wielder of a
camera can well do.”

picture. ... Its only serious defect is its brevity; in 135 pages it
is scarcely possible to do more than make a humble beginning in the

=THORNDIKE, LYNN.= History of medieval Europe; under the editorship of James T. Shotwell. maps *$2.75 (1c) Houghton 940.1 17-24527

Professor Thorndike of Western Reserve university has prepared this
history of Europe from the decline of the Roman empire to the opening
of the sixteenth century for the college student and the general
reader. The general plan of the work is “to treat medieval Europe as a
whole and to hang the story upon a single thread, rather than to
recount as distinct narratives the respective histories of the
countries of modern Europe.” Special points to which he calls
attention in the preface are these: he has given some attention to the
states and racial groups of central and eastern Europe; he has given
some prominence to economic and social conditions, omitting many minor
details of political and military history; he has described the
background of physical geography; he has referred frequently to source
material and discussed its relative value; he has avoided fine print
and footnotes and has made an unusually full index, designed “to serve
somewhat the same purpose that a vocabulary does in the teaching of a
language.” There is a brief list of “Guides in historical reading,”
with supplementary lists at ends of the chapters.

=THORPE, SIR THOMAS EDWARD.= Right Honourable Sir Henry Enfield Roscoe; a biographical sketch. *$2.50 Longmans 17-298

“The late Sir Henry Roscoe will be remembered not so much for his
contributions to the science of chemistry as for what he did to
enhance the repute of the chemist in England. ... Roscoe achieved so
much worldly success and made himself so prominent a figure in public
life that he convinced the ruling class, at any rate, of the
importance of the chemist, and the royal commissions on which he
served and the societies in which he took an active part, especially
the Society of chemical industry, did much to raise the status of
chemistry as a subject of study and an aid to the manufacturer. ...
This aspect of his long and useful life is well illustrated in the
sympathetic memoir which his friend and fellow-worker, Sir Edward
Thorpe, has written. Roscoe’s own reminiscences, published ten years
ago, have of course a more personal interest. Sir Edward Thorpe has
aimed rather at recording Roscoe’s official and scientific work,
especially in connexion with the Victoria university, of which he
became a professor in 1857, and for the sake of which he refused the
virtual offer of the Oxford chair.”—Spec

successfully by the abhorrence of war in the best minds. ... Sir
Edward Thorpe remarks as to such appeals that there was a section—a
not inconsiderable section—of the German public to whom they were not
made in vain, as was manifested by the publication in Stuttgart of a
remarkable article on ‘World supremacy of war’ written under the

=THURSTON, ERNEST TEMPLE.= Enchantment. *$1.50 (2c) Appleton 17-13720

At her birth her father had dedicated her to the church. And true
Catholic that he was, he felt the oath to be sacred. But as the child
grew, the thought of his oath became more and more distasteful. For
Patricia was his favorite of the four daughters. Then he made another
bargain with the parish priest. He would give up his drink, and fond
enough he was of that, if Patricia could be saved from her fate. The
bargain was sealed, and for ten years John Desmond kept it. Then under
stress he broke it, and saw the convent doors opening for his loved
child. But another man steps in and, not without connivance from the
father, outwits the authority that all but had its hands on Patricia.

“In view of Mr Thurston’s intimate acquaintance with the heart and

deliberate and willful misrepresentation in both theme and treatment.

hardly more objectionable than the priest who is tacitly presented as
typical. Such wretched travesties could not be set forth in good faith
