Chapter XIII: Part 2: is divided into five sections which cover the western movement (3)

Ten papers which show the development of Japanese art and help the
Western mind to a better understanding of it makes up “this series of
impressions of the esthetic voicing of Japanese civilization.”
Beginning with The genius of Japanese art, the author covers the early
and later architecture of Japan; Temples and shrines; Temple gardens;
and Domestic interiors. There are also chapters upon The minor arts; A
color print of Yeizan; A note on Japanese sculpture; and the Future of
Japanese art. The volume is illustrated with some original plans and
many unusual pictures.

=Cramp, Walter S.= Psyche, a romance of the reign of Tiberius. $1.50. Little.

The horrid cruelty of Tiberius and his time is graphically set forth.
The story is of Psyche, a beautiful Greek dancing girl, and her lover
Gyges, a charioteer in the Roman circus, and the troubles which came
upon them through their knowledge of a fatal secret connected with the
ambitions of Sejanus, commander of the Praetorian guards, to make
himself emperor. The story is the result of a careful study of the
times, and consequently is unpleasant and full of horrors.

care, but it lacks ... that strong imaginative quality that makes its
characters convincing.”

his captivity, particulars concerning his health and habits, together
with many conversations on topics of great public interest.” Copies of

=Crawford, Francis Marion.= Fair Margaret: a portrait. †$1.50. Macmillan.

“Margaret Donne is an English girl, daughter of an Oxford don and his
American wife—a girl the description of whose parentage implies a

and she is in Paris with a close friend of her mother cultivating her
voice. Three men figure as her admirers, one of them mysterious and
probably royal. Margaret becomes an opera singer and meets with
success.”—N. Y. Times.

“Brushing aside the didactic history formed by a rapid succession of
events and the chronological sequence of great and little names, Mr.
Crawford extracts from tradition and monument a narrative which
reveals the life of the islanders, the causes of their rise and glory
and of their dismal decay, far better than a formal history even when
accompanied with skillful and enlightening commentary. Concerning the
stories revealed by the monuments, Mr. Crawford’s text is set off with
a series of illustrations by Joseph Pennell—splendidly true in their
grasp of art and history and delightful as pictorial records of a

=Crawford, F. Marion.= Whosoever shall offend. †$1.50. Macmillan.

“Mr. Crawford’s technique becomes, if anything, more refined with each
new work that he puts forth, but his substance grows thinner than
ever. A forced mechanical invention marks the plot of ‘Whosoever shall
offend,’ and the characters are but slightly modified variations of
the types that he has been fashioning for the past score of years. The
new novel is concerned with a polished villain, who murders his wife
and seeks to murder his stepson, all with the sordid object of gaining
their fortune for himself, and in the end is trapped and punished
according to his deserts. It is all very cleverly managed, but the
interest is of the mildest.”—Dial.

“It is a well-written, highly interesting melodrama.... The characters
are all good types, the plot is strong, and the Italian atmosphere
tempers the sensational occurrences to the colder northern
imagination.”

The “Life and letters” of Bishop Creighton, the English Phillips
Brooks, given to the public by Mrs. Creighton, portray a broadminded,
steadfast man, a man who was “intensely loyal to the church and its
mission.” “It is a long time since there was published any memoir or
volume of letters which shows the Church of England on its best and
most lovable side than do these memoirs of Creighton. But their
interest is by no means confined to the Church of England. They
contain many social studies of England in the second half of the old
century; and in particular the chapters which deal with Creighton’s
life at Emberton will long be remembered as a classic study of mining,
fishing and farm life in the villages on the bleak northeast coast of
England.” (Ind.)

“In the hands of Mrs. Creighton the English language is not as apt and
flexible an instrument as in those of Lady Burne-Jones, but she shows
an equal skill in the selection and arrangement of her material, and
perhaps a somewhat greater readiness to admit the weaknesses and
limitations of her subject.” Herbert W. Horwill.

The heroine of Mr. Crockett’s story is the Scottish May Margaret of

wooers. “It is all a fearful matrimonial tangle, but history and not
Mr Crockett, is responsible for that, and canonical laws find a way
for the legalizing of it—as is with much sly humor set forth in the
text.” (N. Y. Times.)

volumes, appearing 1887-1899. In accord with this conception of Greek
literature as a whole we find their admirable development of each
period.... It is the peculiar excellence of this work that it gives no
partial and incomplete view of Greek literature, but carries the
account of it not only through the Hellenistic period, but through the
Christian writers of the first three centuries as well.... Their
closing chapters on the Hellenic revival and the last days of Hellenic
literature are most illuminating and valuable.”—Educ. R.

school’ lays bare clerical immorality in the United States in a way to
rival the story of the church in Latin countries or in Germany before
Luther’s day. Sad as is this picture, it is, however, far less
painful, than to read how thoroughly good men combine to hide, gloss
over, or condone clerical crimes.... Father Crowley devotes much space
to the dangers of the parochial school. They are an incubus on the
church and a serious menace to her.... The surest way in the world to
kill off Catholicism is to give over education to priests and nuns.

=Cruttwell, Maud.= Verrocchio. *$2. Scribner.

“To her biographies of Mantegna and the Robbias our author now
presents one of Verrocchio, perhaps the least known and appreciated of
fifteenth century masters.” (Outlook). The biographer has aimed to
show “upon what dubious evidence the attribution to Verrocchio of such
work as the Tornabuoni relief and other inferior sculpture and
painting is based, to trace his steady development from the immature
work of the Baptism to the full burst of his powers in the statue of
the Colleoni, and to arrive at a truer estimate of his artistic
capabilities by the rejection of all inferior work, the attribution of
which is merely hypothetical, taking as the standard of judgment only
such works as are proved beyond possibility of doubt to be authentic.”
The book is fully illustrated.

“It is in her purely aesthetic judgments that we find Miss Cruttwell
least satisfactory. Taken as a whole, Miss Cruttwell’s study is the
most accurate, impartial, and complete that has yet been made on the
subject; but it leaves room for some writer touched more deeply by the
