Text size

“The Bross lectures for 1916 at Lake Forest college have been
published under the title, ‘Faith justified by progress.’ The author
takes certain types of social life which have been outstanding stages
of social and moral evolution and seeks to discover what part
religious faith had in their working and development. The book opens
with a discussion of the eclipse of faith due to the rise of
naturalism. ... In four chapters Dr Wright reviews ‘Primitive life,’
‘Natural life,’ ‘Supernatural life,’ ‘The universal life,’ and ends
with a postscript on the ‘Future of religion.’”—Springf’d Republican

“It is to be hoped that Professor Wright’s book will be widely read;
for it is well calculated to arouse interest and sympathy for a
religious movement of great promise.” G. B. Smith

“The postscript on the future of religion is a fitting close to a work
which is optimistic in an acceptable form. Although the author’s
conception of will is very comprehensive, in the reviewer’s opinion
there is hardly sufficient recognition of the great fact that will to
be efficient must be directed. Reason must at least sit on the right
hand of the throne. We heartily commend the book to a wide
constituency.”

=WRIGHT, IRENE ALOHA.= Early history of Cuba, 1492-1586; written from original sources. map *$2 (2c) Macmillan 972.91 16-23517

A work based on a study of records in the Archive of the Indies at
Seville, Spain. As the introduction states, it is a “history of Cuba
from its discovery by Columbus in 1492, through the year 1586, when
Sir Francis Drake, in sailing along the north shore of the island
after his successful raid on other Spanish settlements of the West
Indies, closed the first era of the colony’s history.” Contents: Book
1, 1492-1524, Spain takes possession of Cuba; Book 2, 1524-1550, An
era of stagnation; Book 3, 1550-1567, French influence; Book 4,
1567-1586, The menace of the English.

some omissions from the limitation of its sources.”

“When Miss Irene Wright chose such an attractive subject, and took the

“Miss Wright is a journalist who has practised her profession in
Havana and has by long residence in the island well qualified herself
to write such a descriptive work on present-day Cuba as she published
a few years ago. But the qualities which served her well in the
composition of that work are not all that are needed in a more serious
history based on original research among documentary materials. ...
Her narrative is lacking in insight and perspective, and in that
creative, or at least reconstructive, imagination which is the note of
the true historian. Moreover, she handles her materials in no very
scholarly fashion.”

=WRIGHT, PHILIP QUINCY.= Enforcement of international law through municipal law in the United States. (Studies in the social sciences) pa $1.25 Univ. of Ill 341 16-10801

“Dr Wright ... has confined himself to a study of the measures which
this country has adopted to compel its citizens and others found
within the confines of its jurisdiction to observe what Dr Wright
calls ‘supra-national’ law. ... Throughout the book the sharp dividing
line between that which is municipal and that which is international
is clearly drawn. Dr Wright aims to present a study of the enforcement
by the national legal machinery within the United States of those
provisions which may be considered as international law. He points out
that the importance of this study results from the necessity in the
application of the system of ‘supra-national’ law to take action
through national officials. The title of his book makes a sharp
division between the rules of international law which are observed by
the executive and representative branches of the government and those
which are enforced by the legal machinery.”—Nation

“As to the method followed by Doctor Wright, nothing can be said in
criticism of the excellent scholarship evinced throughout the
monograph. The author is sure of his ground. He has a firm grasp on
his law, and is careful to make only such statements as can be amply
substantiated. ... It is possible to criticize the mechanical
arrangement of his thesis. The scaffolding is too much in evidence.
The structure is too gaunt and creaking. Such chapter headings as
‘Obligations of vindication’ and ‘Obligations of reparation’ are
awkward and pedantic. But such criticism is of course of minor
importance.” P. M. Brown

“The style, command of material, method of treatment, and unusual
power of accurate classification will give Dr Wright’s work a high

=WRIGHT, RICHARDSON LITTLE.= Russians; an interpretation. *$1.50 (2c) Stokes 914.7 17-13335

Writing shortly before the revolution in Russia the author said, “I
have attempted to interpret the why and how of Russian life so that
Americans can understand what their present activities presage for the
future. ... There is no reason why the people of the greatest republic
should not be on friendly terms with the people of the greatest
autocracy. Between no two nations are there so many points of
contact—what the states possess fitting so snugly into what Russia
requires.” Contents: The strength of the adolescent; What is a
Russian? A democracy in the making; The things he revolts against;
“This is the faith of the fathers”; The moujik’s religion; The Russian
as a business man; The Russian as a working man; Defining Dostoevsky
and some others; The colors of the Russian palette; When Russia sings;
The Russian land of promise; Russia’s manifest destinies; Russia and
America.

“It is hardly necessary to add that while expatiating with an air of
authority on the remote destinies of Russia, Mr. Wright overlooks the
stupendous powers of revolt and reconstruction which were ripening
before his very eyes in the vast Slavic cauldron.” Abraham Yarmolinsky

the greatness and promise of Siberia and here his own personal

=WRIGHT, WILLARD HUNTINGTON.= Creative will. *$1.50 (3c) Lane 701 16-24940

The author calls the four essays of this book “studies in the
philosophy and the syntax of æsthetics.” The four essays are entitled
Art and life, Problems of æsthetics, Art and the artist, Art and the
individual. Mr Wright is author of a book on “Modern painting: its
tendency and meaning.” It is the philosophy of the new art that he
voices in this book: “The artist is an interpreter of causes, not a
depicter of effects”; “The dictum that ‘art should express life’ has
retarded the development of æsthetic expression more than any other”;
“Art is the mouthpiece of the will of nature, namely, the complete
unified intelligence of life. ... An artist’s mind in the act of
creating, is only an outlet of that intelligence.”

“A little more science and a little more philosophy would have given
us a work of more catholic sympathy without abandoning the general
position which Mr Wright so ably constructs.”

+ — =Bellman= 22:161 F 10 ‘17 170w

“The æsthetic of mass, which has been variously developed by Guyau,
Hildebrandt, Lipps, and Berenson, receives its most effective literary
presentation in this new book. ... Mr Wright’s style has pulse and
drive enough to carry along a good deal that is crabbed in vocabulary.
He is always honest and clear, and but seldom careless. His robust
intellectualism deserves admiration, however much his particular
theories may provoke dissent. To read him is to sharpen one’s own
thinking. ... I suppose the unsteadiness of the impression Mr Wright’s
argument makes, is due to the fact that he has built up upon a flimsy
foundation a well-ordered and over elaborate structure. He is at all
points very far from life, of which art is after all an expression,
and his miraculously poised card house does not look habitable. In
building it, however, he has displayed rare ingenuity.” F. J. Mather,
jr.

+ =Dial= 62:15 Ja 11 ‘17 1350w

“The book is not without its sound teachings; as, for instance, in
parts of Aphorisms 27, 138, 150, and 179; but it also contains a
number of misleading statements which point to a lack of historical
research on the part of the author. ... No one can fail to discover
that Mr Wright is in dead earnest; but, after reading his book
carefully, we cannot advise the public to take him too seriously at
the present stage of his development.”

– + =Nation= 104:370 Mr 29 ‘17 1100w

“Once Mr Wright wrote a book called ‘What Nietzsche taught,’ but he
neglected to learn one of that philosopher’s most pungent lessons,
which was, not to attempt a volume of metaphysical epigrams unless you
are a genius. ... One demands always the just, always the keen and
vivid insight. And in ‘The creative will’ the supply is pitifully
inadequate to the demand. It is mostly will, and very little
creation.” H. S.

=WRIGHT, WILLARD HUNTINGTON.= Misinforming a nation. *$1.25 (2½c) Huebsch 032 17-13756

A critical examination of the Encyclopædia Britannica. In his first
chapter, Colonizing America, the author contends that American thought
is shaped by British influence. Cut off from contact with other
European nations by unfamiliarity with any language other than
English, and unsure of ourselves, we have slavishly imitated England.
“We have de-Americanized ourselves to such an extent that there has
grown up in us a typical British contempt for our own native
achievements.” In particular is the Encyclopædia Britannica held
responsible. “Taken as a whole, the Britannica’s divisions on culture
are little more than a brief for British art and science,” says the
author. Chapters on The novel, The drama, Poetry, British painting,
etc., are given up to an examination of the Britannica’s treatment of
these subjects. At the close there is a list of Two hundred omissions.

=Cleveland= p116 S ‘17 60w

“Mr Wright’s book, as a pamphlet against a long-established literary
institution, gets to be rather wearying and irritating. ... So good a
book ought not to produce such an effect. I suggest that it be read in
a different spirit from that in which it is written, and that it be
made to serve a different purpose. Let it be thoroughly indexed and
annotated, and used as a little ‘Encyclopædia moderna’ (if such Latin
will pass), concerned altogether with current movements and latter-day
personalities.” H: B. Fuller

“Certainly, a work of the proportions of the encyclopedia in spite of

omission and commission. But to the ordinary reader it seems a little

“Written in the spirit of an attack rather than a judicial

ignored. ... Mr Wright misrepresents the book which he is examining.

not appear in the Britannica. But he does not state that practically
all these Americans are considered under the subjects in which, if at
all, they have attained distinction.”

=WYATT, EDITH FRANKLIN.= Great companions. *$1.50 (2c) Appleton 814 17-7484

Essays reprinted from the North American Review, the Chicago Tribune,
the Little Review, Poetry, and other periodicals. Most of them are
literary studies. The author of Robinson Crusoe, Stephen Crane, Henry
James, Some unpopular parodies, With Walt Whitman in Camden, James
Whitcomb Riley, Brontë poems, Shelley in his letters, are some of the
titles. Among the remaining essays are a few possessing a wider
interest, altho these too have a literary point of departure.
“Nonsense about women” is a comment on the Fiona MacLeod-William Sharp
problem. “An autobiography of American farm women” is a study of the
series of letters from farm women published by the Department of
agriculture.

=WYATT, EDITH FRANKLIN.= Wind in the corn, and other poems. *$1 Appleton 811 17-29996

A volume of lyrics, collected from the author’s writings of the past
ten or more years. She offers them now as an attempt to express
something of the American dream of democracy. They are an expression
of “some of the overland ways of the living presence of our country,”
the author believing that one of the most important elements in our
common background is a “consciousness of movement over a variety of
country.” Among the poems in which this “overland” element is
prominent are: Wind in the corn; To a river god; Niagara; Winter
wheat; On the great plateau; November in the city; An Arizona wind; A
city equinoctial.

“There is more romance in these poems than at first appears on the
surface, but it is the romance of the spirit rather than place or
incident. Simple and direct as is the language of these poems, they
are richly suggestive of life with fulness of dream and aspiration.
With a peculiar gift of visualization Miss Wyatt makes one see what
she does not figuratively put into her verse.” W. S. B.

“Miss Wyatt derives a genuine inspiration from her country both as a

poems.” M. T.

=WYMOND, MARK.= Government partnership in railroads. $1.50 (3c) Wymond & Clark 385 17-6654

The author’s purpose is to propose a constructive railroad policy to
replace present attempts at regulation and to forestall government
ownership. The main points of his plan are: to expand the present
Interstate commerce commission by the creation of eight district
commissions; to grant the railroads representation on these
commissions, and to have the government guarantee interest and
dividends. Contents: Our transportation problem; The sins of
regulation; Sins of the railroads; A constructive railroad policy;
Government ownership of railroads.

“Mr Wymond’s proposal is an interesting one, but does not come with

“Mr Pound tells us that these passages were chosen from letters
written to Mr W. B. Yeats by his father between 1911 and 1916. Mr J.

Yeats is a silent factor in the book except for his suggestion that
his father, living in New York, should write to him in Europe letters
of subject continuity with the idea of later publication.” (Boston

of the writer of the letters.

=YOHANNAN, ABRAHAM.= Death of a nation; or, The ever persecuted Nestorians or Assyrian Christians. il *$2 (9c) Putnam 281 16-23129

“To meet the wishes of my friends, I have consented to give the
history of the persecutions of the Nestorian church in general, and to
make public some further information on the sufferings and massacres
to which, as the result of this terrible war, they are subjected
to-day,” says the author. Part 1 of his book is devoted to a
historical survey of the Christian church in Assyria from its founding
in the first century to the present day. Part 2 describes the
sufferings of his people as a result of the present war.

=YOUNG, GEORGE.= Portugal old and young. il *$2.25 Oxford 946.9 (Eng ed 17-24318)

“Mr Young, sometime first secretary at Lisbon, has in seven essays
presented an account of Portugal, beginning with Portugal and the war,
following with four historical chapters, and concluding with Young
Portugal and Portugal and the peace. ... Several translations are
reproduced here from his ‘Portugal, an anthology,’ published last
year. ... In the frontispiece is reproduced Nuno Gonsalvez’s
altar-piece of San Vicente.”—Ath

+ =Ath= p475 S ‘17 130w

“Now and then as we read we are tempted to wish that our author had
written as a traveller and not as an historian. At times we find his
political history rather dull, and indeed it would be nearly
impossible in a short space to render the kaleidoscopic changes of
political fortune in modern Portugal other than confusing; but his
descriptions of the country, his criticism of its literature, and his
translations of its songs are charming.”

+ — =Spec= 119:330 S 29 ‘17 1100w

“A well-proportioned survey of ‘Portugal, old and young,’ compressed
into a short space, but without any obvious sense of compression. ...
In what will be to many readers the most interesting part of the book,
he discusses, under ‘Empire and eclipse,’ how it was that the strength
of Portugal was sapped instead of being built up by empire. ... Mr
George Young has already done much by his ‘Portugal: an anthology,’
published last year, to interest English readers in that country.”

+ =The Times [London] Lit Sup= p371 Ag 2 ‘17 220w

“It is not a ‘history’ in the conventional sense, but an essay on the
whole development of the life of the Portuguese people, illustrated by
copious quotations from their literature and by vivid sketches of the
country, of its art and architecture, and of the people themselves.
Very interesting, especially, is the comparison of Portugal with
Ireland, the basis of the population of the two countries being
compounded of the same racial elements, Iberian and Celtic.”

presented as one of the volumes of the National social science series,
edited by President McVey, of the University of North Dakota.” (R of
Rs) “It is to be supplemented at an early date with another on social
and economic legislation, which will emphasize the fundamental
principles of the state’s police power.” (Author’s preface) There is a
one page bibliography.

“On the whole Dr Young has performed his task as capably as an
enterprise of this nature could be performed, but the demands of
brevity have been so rigorous that in many passages the virtue of
clearness has had to be jettisoned.”

are: Old English glassware, Seven general guides and tests, Blown
ware, Cut, moulded, and engraved ware, Old coloured glass, Old
drinking glasses, The various types of stem, The various shapes of
bowl, etc. The author says, “Diffuseness has been avoided, but this, I
hope, has enabled me to make the book the more lucid, as well as the
more succinct. At any rate it affords hints, general rules, and
warnings more numerous and more practical than any published until
now.”

“The Reverend J. A. Zahm ... writes most persuasively of the
capabilities of women as the friends and advisers of men. He has taken
as examples of women who deserved this title the Roman woman Paula and
her gifted daughter, the virgin, Eustochium, who were privileged to
collaborate with Saint Jerome in his labors in translating the Bible
and providing copious commentaries thereon; and also that Beatrice
Portinari, whom Dante loved.” (R of Rs) An earlier book by the author

=ZAHM, JOHN AUGUSTINE (H. J. MOZANS, pseud.).= Quest of El Dorado; the most romantic episode in the history of South American conquest. il *$1.50 (5c) Appleton 918 17-25280

Father Zahm is a South American explorer of note and author of several
books on that country. In this volume he goes back to early history to
tell the story of some of the expeditions that went in quest “of that
extraordinary will-o’-the-wisp, usually known as El Dorado.” His study
throws new light on the conquistadores, showing that they were not
moved solely by thirst for gold. He says, “So marvelous were their
achievements that, were they not attested by the most unquestionable
of documents, we should be disposed to place the old chronicles which
describe them in the same category as the Arthurian romances.” The
chapters were written for the Pan-American Bulletin in 1912, and are
reprinted with a few changes and additions. A bibliography gives a
list of the principal works cited.

=ZANGWILL, ISRAEL.= Principle of nationalities. *50c (4c) Macmillan 904 17-14064

This discourse formed the Conway memorial lecture, delivered at South
Place institute, London, on March 8, 1917. Mr Zangwill argues that
“neither identity of race, nor of language, nor of religion, nor of
territory, nor of interests, nor of culture, nor of soul, is
indispensable to a nationality,” but that it is “a state of mind
corresponding to a political fact.” He then, after classifying the
political varieties of nationality as simple, complex, compound and
hybrid, goes on to consider “the psychological aspect and genesis of
nationality.” He asserts that now that nationalism is closing in upon
the world, we should remember that “the real needs of nationalities
are not independence, but freedom from oppression,” and that
“internationalism, so far from being the antithesis of nationalism,
actually requires nations to interrelate.”

“An analysis of nationality that is sane and penetrating.”

“The book is written from the British viewpoint, and while the author
has included American practice he has of course not done so with the
first-hand knowledge of an American. ... The forty-four chapters of
the book are grouped under the heads of ‘Continuous handling of
material,’ ‘Continuous handling of material by Pneumatic or hydraulic
means,’ ‘Intermittent handling of material,’ ‘Unloading and loading
appliances,’ ‘Miscellaneous installations’ and the ‘Automatic weighing
of material’. Eighteen chapters under the first two groups cover all
kinds of conveyors. Cableways and telphers are included in the third
group.”—Engin News-Rec

“The facts that the field of engineering which this bulky treatise
covers has had an enormous development in the past quarter century,
