Chapter LVI: Part 2: , ‘The imaginative life of children,’ includes six chapters (12)

A party of three Americans hire a schooner in Manila and go out in
search of an island of gold, on the say-so of a crazy ex-captain. The
captain of the schooner and the crew, with a few exceptions, are a
criminal gang who are bound to come to their reckoning whichever way
the trip turns out. The island is reached but no gold is found, except
the gold of love between Marjorie Locke and Robert Trask. The wicked
captain and crew are outwitted, after a trial of strength, and the
party returns safely to Manila.

=MOORE, FREDERICK FERDINAND.= Sailor girl. *$1.75 (2c) Appleton

20–5774

A tale of adventure in the China sea. Eleanor Glendon, sole owner
after her father’s death of a fleet of ships, has reason to believe
that all is not well with her affairs in the Far East and she goes out
to investigate on her own account. With a friend, Harriett Wade, she
arrives in Manila to find that the “Coral Queen” is on the point of
sailing for Hong Kong, and without warning to the captain, goes on
board. She finds that the first mate is one John Strang, accused of
complicity in a recent daring piece of piracy, and on hearing rumors
of a plot to sink the ship readily connects him with it. But she is to
learn that he is not the culprit, and following a series of stirring
events, the truth comes to light and there is a reorganization of her
company with a new man at its head and a wedding in prospect.

“As one of a number of intelligence officers dispatched by the United

see something of the diplomatic and political conditions of that
distracted country, as well as much of its peasant life. His volume is
a lively narrative devoted rather to description than to analysis.” (N

=MOREL, EDMUND DEVILLE.= Black man’s burden. *$1.50 Huebsch 960

(Eng ed 20–22707)

The purpose of the book is to convey a clear notion of the atrocious
wrongs which the white people have inflicted upon the black, and to
lay down the fundamental principles of a humane and practical policy
in the government of Africa by white men. As a comprehensive survey of
Europe’s relations with Africa is not within the scope of the book the
author has sectionalized the determining impulses of European
intervention and has given specific examples under each section. He
has also shown the inter-action between European affairs and the
proceedings of European governments in Africa, making the former an
inevitable aftermath of the latter. The first two chapters are
explanatory of the white man’s and the black man’s burden and the rest
of the book is divided into three periods: (1) The slave trade; (2)
Invasion, political control, capitalistic exploitation; (3) Reparation
and reform.

“Mr Morel writes in a clear, hard style, without prejudice or

“His attitude toward the black men is that of the liberal Englishman:
that is to say, he is opposed to the past atrocities and wants Africa
helped in every benevolent and philanthropic way. He has, however, no
conception of a self-governing, independent black Africa.” W. E. B. Du
Bois

“The book can be judged on its merits. The merits consist in recalling
and setting forth undoubted and glaring injuries inflicted upon Africa
and the Africans by European individuals, companies, and governments,
and in warning against the danger of repeating the injustice and
wrong. The warning is needed at the present time. On the other hand,
like other books of the kind, it lends itself to criticism both in
detail and on general grounds. Though the author can discriminate and
does, when he likes, discriminate, there are wholesale and one-sided
statements and generalizations which are far too wide.”

=MORELAND, WILLIAM HARRISON.=[2] India at the death of Akbar. *$4.50 Macmillan 954

“The opening of the seventeenth century—the period selected by Mr
Moreland—was a critical epoch in the history of India. It was
immediately antecedent to the appearance of new forces destined to
influence India profoundly, and may be described as the close of the
medieval history of India and the beginning of its modern history (it
was in the year 1608 that the English ship Hector reached Surat.) For
the economic story of the next three centuries substantial sources of
information are available, and Mr Moreland’s aim is to supply an
introduction to the study of that period. List of authorities,
5pp.’—The Times [London] Lit Sup

* * * * *

“Certainly no one could accuse Mr Moreland of forcing from the facts a
too confident conclusion. His judgment is so cautious, so balanced, so
hesitating, that if the one object of his book had been a definite
comparison in material wealth and prosperity between 1605 and 1914, a
captious critic might complain that the results arrived at hardly
compensate for the sedulous care lavished on the inquiry. There are
many shrewd reflexions on matters political and financial, the outcome
of independent study and an original survey.” P. E. Roberts

+ =Eng Hist R= 35:455 Jl ’20 950w

“Mr Moreland’s excellent study of the condition of India in 1605, at
the death of Akbar, shows how the subject should be approached. If we
are to determine whether India has advanced or declined in wealth, we
must have some standard by which to measure the changes.”

+ =Spec= 124:794 Je 12 ’20 1650w

“It is pleasant to record a further advance in the study of Indian
economics. All scholars will be delighted that Mr Moreland has
resisted the obvious temptation to defer publication until the sources
of our information had been more fully explored. No pioneer can hope
to write the definitive work upon a subject of this magnitude, and Mr
Moreland may reasonably hope to earn the more enviable distinction of
founding a school and seeing others build upon his foundation.”

“In this book the author embodies the results of many years of
painstaking and fruitful research. He has carefully studied ‘the new
evidence that has become available in the last thirty years’—in the
archives of England and Holland, in the recent reports of the
Historical manuscripts commission, as well as in a mass of pamphlets
and periodicals—and has reread, with a keen eye, all the older
literature on the period, including the materials on which it has been
based. He has been able to show that Queen Anne was a much more
assertive person than is commonly believed, and that, from the
beginning, the Duchess of Marlborough exercised much less influence on
the policy of her sovereign than most writers on the period have
assumed. On this perplexing period when personalities counted for so
much, and when cabinet and party government were still in such an
inchoate state, new lights are thrown; moreover, much fresh vivid
detail is presented on the iniquitous methods of conducting elections
which had come into vogue.”—Am Hist R

“This book is addressed to two publics: teachers in Jewish religious
schools, that their instruction may be more authoritative and

getting a first-hand knowledge of Judaism. The author stands squarely
on the assured results of thoroughgoing critical scholarship,
recognizing clearly the presence of myth, legend, and tradition in
Genesis, and relative little authentic history, but he is not content
to stop with analysis. Whereas most scholars wholly ignore the motives
and ideas controlling authors and editors in the process of producing
the book as it now stands, the investigation of these motives and
ideas is the point of departure for Rabbi Morgenstern, for whom
Genesis is ‘a Jewish work, written by Jewish authors, and edited by
Jewish thinkers, the product of Jewish religious genius, and a unit of
Jewish thought and doctrine,’ hence to be interpreted from a positive
Jewish standpoint.”—Bib World

“In ‘British supremacy and Canadian self-government, 1839–54,’
Professor J. L. Morison of Queen’s university, Kingston, Canada, makes
an interesting study of the manner in which imperial ascendancy and
colonial autonomy were reconciled in the years of early Victorian
Canada. He emphasizes the thought that the evolution of colonial
Canada into a self-governing dominion was the wisest and best solution
of the great problem that confronted the British and Canadian
statesmen; through it, he holds, there was great gain to all
concerned—gain to the empire as well as to the people across the
Atlantic. That it caused no weakening of the tie between the mother
country and the daughter land was demonstrated, we are reminded, by
the magnificent conduct of Canada in the great war with Germany.”—N Y

absence of racial prejudice, and attractive literary style, his work

“Pipefuls” is apropos of the brevity of the sketches in this
collection compiled from the New York Evening Post, the

characteristically declares: “These sketches gave me pain to
write; they will give the judicious patron pain to read; therefore
we are quits.... And yet perhaps the will-to-live is in them, for
are they not a naked exhibit of the antics a man will commit in
order to earn a living?” (Preface) In one of the sketches,
Confessions of a “colyumist,” in which he expatiates on the task
of conducting a newspaper column, he thus parodies Wordsworth:

“The meanest paragraph that blows will give
Thoughts that do often lie too deep for sneers.”

In his introduction to this collection of sketches, originally printed
in the Evening Public Ledger, A. Edward Newton says: “Where else shall
we find simplicity, the gayety, the kindly humor, and the charm of
this gentle essayist? Who, other than Morley, could make a walk out
Market street of interest and a source of fun?... Who, but he, could
find in the commonplace, sordid, and depressing streets of our city,
subjects for a sheaf of dainty little essays, as delightful as they
are unique?” Some of the titles are: Little Italy; Meeting the gods
for a dime; Trailing Mrs Trollope; The Ronaldson cemetery; Chestnut
street from a fire escape; The recluse of Franklin square; Up the
Wissahickon; The Whitman centennial; Anne Gilchrist’s house; Penn
treaty park; At the mint; Madonnas of the curb; On the sightseeing

=MORLEY, LINDA H., and KIGHT, ADELAIDE C.= 2400 business books and guide to business literature. *$5 Wilson, H. W. 016

This is a revision of the work called “1600 business books,” compiled
by Sarah B. Ball and published in 1916. It has been prepared by Linda
H. Morley and Adelaide C. Kight of the Business branch of the Newark
public library, under the direction of John Cotton Dana. “The
sub-title ‘Guide to business literature’ is added to make it plain
that the book is far more than a list of 2400 volumes. It is an index
to the contents of those volumes; that is, it lists, in alphabetic
order, under 2000 different headings, the subjects which are treated
in these 2400 books. These headings are in addition to those entries
which give the names of the writers of the 2400 books and in addition
to the entries which give their titles.” (Introd.) The entries are
arranged in one alphabet, with a publishers’ directory at the close.

“The Quaker life and character is sketched in this simple and sweet
story of Hannah Bye. The scene is in a Quaker community and the
characters are varied. Here is Deborah Bye, cold, harsh,
uncompromising, whose conscience forms her whole character and whose
personality rather than her religion, forms her conscience. Her
daughter, Hannah, the heroine of the story, is a far sweeter character
and one which appeals strongly to the reader. Ruth Blake, her nearest
friend, makes the acquaintance of a city visitor to the country, of
whom Hannah warns her without success. The fall comes and Hannah, in
her effort to keep and save Ruth, draws upon herself her mother’s
anger. The peaceful home is shattered but Hannah in the end restores
its peace.”—Boston Transcript

and falls into two parts, part one ending with Venice as the great
commercial center in the fifteenth century. Part two begins with the

This small volume contains the Rede lecture for 1919, at Cambridge

science Lord Moulton, without apparent ironical intent, points out
that science made the war possible. He shows that the war represented
“the results of the totality of scientific progress” from the
beginning and then devotes himself to the more recent developments of
science and invention that determined the character and extent of the
war. In conclusion he warns that the next war may mean not only the
end of civilization but the self-destruction of mankind.

of its benefactors, directors, masters, and graduates, than he is in
detailed information regarding the school’s management, support,
system of education, etc., at various periods. This is somewhat
disappointing to the American student. On the other hand the volume is
much more than a history of one school or even of the educational
forces and agencies in Manchester. There is much of value on the
educational and intellectual development of England in general, and
comment on the larger factors of an economic, social, and religious
character, which influenced the course of this development. The main
thread of the story has to do with the struggle to democratize the
school and to supplant the old classical curriculum with one which
would more directly meet the new economic and social conditions
