wedding, thru the influence of a relative who covets the young Greek’s

=Gallatin, A. E.= Whistler’s art dicta and other essays. $3.50. Goodspeed.

A collection of five essays which originally appeared in the
International studio, the Lamp, the Critic, the Weekly critical review
of Paris, and the Literary collector. The title essay deals with
Whistler’s “Gentle art of making enemies,” “Aubrey Beardsley: man of
letters,” contains a review of his last writings as found in “Under
the hill, and other essays in prose and verse,” (John Lane). “Notes on
three hitherto unpublished drawings by Beardsley,” describes three
unfinished sketches here reproduced, a border design for Mallory’s “Le
morte d’Arthur.” The closing papers are “Whistler’s realism” and
“Whistler’s memorial exhibition,” in Boston, February and March, 1904.

Francesca whom he has taken from a nunnery. There are witches and
sorcerers, plots and counterplots, murders and battles. A young
nobleman, who loves Lady Helena, is again and again entangled by the

=Ganz, Hugo.= The land of riddles. $2. Harper.

This book is translated from the German and edited by Herman
Rosenthal. The author, a German journalist of Vienna, sent his work
originally to the Austrian newspapers in the form of letters. It gives
in detail his visit to Russia, the land of riddles, early in 1904, and
his conversations with men of all classes of social and official life.
He treats of the war; the political situation; the universities, which
are “only political camps awaiting the call to arms, and nothing
more”; the Jewish question, which there seems no hope of solving, and
the unsteady financial standing of Russia, whose foreign credit is a
mere bubble. There is a chapter on Ryepin, the great Russian painter,
the sale of whose paintings is forbidden abroad, and an account of a
visit to Tolstoy. The book as a whole gives a vivid and unpleasing
picture of corruption and riddles to which there is at present no
answer.

“After reading the introduction, one is apt to get the impression that
Mr. Ganz went to Russia with a mind receptive, to say the least, to
‘horrors,’ and that quite naturally he was horrified. The volume has
the defects usually inherent to a collection of letters written for
popular consumption—prolixity. The writer assumes that his readers are
ignorant of everything east of the Vistula.”

+ — =Boston Evening Transcript.= F. 8, ‘05. 1130w.

“Toward solving the ‘riddles,’ the author’s guesses imply only average
insight or acumen, but the book is readable, and the style is
pleasing.”

=Gardenhire, Samuel M.= Silence of Mrs. Harrold. $1.50. Harper.

The author is a New York lawyer and has chosen his home town as the
setting for his novel. The plot hinges upon a marriage in which both a
man and a woman promise to ask no questions relative to their
respective pasts. The compact is kept, but the husband’s jealousy is
aroused, and finally it develops that “Mrs. Harrold” in her youth had
eloped with a member of a circus troupe. Her father, following them to
the man’s home in Austria, kills her husband, whose own father suffers
imprisonment for the crime, the real murderer being shielded by his
daughter. There are many complications but the book ends with the
complete vindication of the silent wife.

“Had it been half as long, ‘The silence of Mrs. Harrold’ might have
been twice as good.”

+ — =Ath.= 1905, 1: 746. Je. 17, 260w.

“A novel of strong and complex interest.” W. M. Payne.

+ =Dial.= 38: 391. Je. 1. ‘05. 280w.

“I am firmly inclined to believe that the new novel of intricate plot
which Mr. Gardenhire has given us in ‘The silence of Mrs. Harold’ will
be warmly welcomed and meet with as wide an appreciation as its merit
deserves. Mr. Gardenhire possesses remarkable constructive ability. He
knows how to tell a story. The author has handled this question with a
dignity and justice and fine feeling that will make the book appeal
strongly to women.” James MacArthur.

+ + =Harpers Weekly.= 49: 131. Ja. 28, ‘05. 1340w.

“He knows much that is behind the scenes to the general, and yet his
novel lacks atmosphere. One looks on at a carefully constructed Coney
Islandish reproduction of New York; one does not feel the throb of
‘the mighty heart’ of the living city. The chief defect of the book is
the one most surely fatal to fiction—it is tedious. The author is
fluent, ingenious, inventive; but the long and stilted conversations
‘get on to our nerves.’ Now and again we applaud, but before the last
page is reached we are exceedingly weary. In short, the novel is not
the work of an artist, and so fails to take the reader with it.”

— — + =N. Y. Times.= 10: 92. F. 11, ‘05. 260w.

“It has rarely been our fate to read more prolix, tiresome, and
unnatural dialogue than that in this book, while in substance and plot

complex, sophisticated aspects of New York life the book will rank
high.”

=Gardiner, Ruth Kimball.= Heart of a girl. †$1.50. Barnes.

A book about a child, but one whose contemplative phase belongs to
grown-ups. The story traces the workings of a silent, lonely, albeit
resourceful girl’s heart from childhood thru her High School days. “We
follow Margery to Margaret, and know we are always with a real girl,
independent, faulty, sensitive, and generous, imperious among her
fellows, yet a favorite and a born leader.” (Outlook.)

“Mrs. Gardiner’s story represents a phase in the psychology of
childhood to the study of which such writers as Kenneth Grahame,
George Madden Martin, and Marion Hill have contributed.”

+ =N. Y. Times.= 10: 492. Jl. 22, ‘05. 270w.

“The book is well written, with much sympathy for the little joys and
sorrows that loom so large in childhood, and for the intense loves,
ambitions, disappointments, triumphs of the older schoolgirl.”

+ =N. Y. Times.= 10: 620. S. 23, ‘05. 650w.

=Gardner, Percy.= Grammar of Greek art. **$1.75. Macmillan.

This volume “presents an attempt to set forth the underlying
conventions of Greek art, and the changes which ... they gradually
underwent. The mental fashions of the Greek mind in building and
sculpture and in painting, are presented with a discussion of the
relation between epic, lyric and dramatic poetry to painting and vase
decoration. An informing chapter is devoted to the subject of dress
and drapery.... Such sculptural problems as the decoration of
pediments are carefully analyzed. Interesting light is thrown upon the
formation of sculptural types and the Greek tendency to
impressionalism.... Illustrations in outline and half tone are
sufficiently plentiful to point in every case the discussion and
argument.”—Int. Studio.

“Dr. Gardner’s book, though brief, covers a wide range, and is rich in
illustration; but we could wish that the beauty of the originals had
been better rendered, even at a sacrifice of number.”

* =Gardner, William.= Life of Stephen A. Douglas. $1.50. Eastern pub.

A brief biography compiled mainly from original sources and intended
by the author as a dispassionate study. It is a history of the career
of Douglas rather than an intimate life story. A detailed account of
his work presents him as lawyer, judge, and politician, but while what
the man has done is faithfully given there is little of the man
himself. The author announces in his preface that he has “not
attempted to pronounce judgment on Douglas and his contemporaries but
to submit the evidence,” this and this only has he done. The volume
has no index.

=Garis, Howard R.= Isle of black fire. $1.50. Lippincott.

This is a boy’s book of adventure. A New York merchant sends out an
expedition to an uncharted island where a great lump of radium
supposedly worth fifty-five million dollars, is guarded by priests in
asbestos robes, who worship it and offer up passing strangers in
sacrifice to the “black fire.” There are stirring scenes in which two
thousand savages are mowed down by the ship’s guns, and barbaric games
and combats, which celebrate the coming of an office boy, George the
Fat, as king of the savage kingdom. A comic Irishman relieves the
tense situations.

=Garland, Hamlin.= Tyranny of the dark. †$1.50. Harper.

A western girl, beautiful and endowed with uncanny psychic powers,
struggles between love and hypnotism; the first, represented by a
young chemist and biologist, the second, by a clergyman. The story
passes thru death and excitement to a happy ending.

“Pleasing and interesting as is the romance considered merely as a

certain psychical phenomena.”

=Garnett, Richard.= William Shakespeare, pedagogue and poacher: a drama. $1.25. Lane.

This play, written apparently for study and not dramatic presentation,
deals with Shakespeare’s traditional roles of school teacher and
poacher. It is necessarily unsatisfactory to Shakespeare lovers and
students, who find that his character as here portrayed falls short of
the man as shown to us in his works, and the words which Mr. Garnett
puts into his mouth, while perhaps Shakespearean, are obviously not
Shakespeare.

— =Critic.= 46: 192. F. ‘05. 310w.

“Among the most ingenious and successful experiments upon this
baffling theme [attempt to portray Shakespeare as he lived and moved
among his fellows] must surely be reckoned the little two-act drama of
Dr. Garnett.”

+ + =Dial.= 38: 46. Ja. 16, ‘05. 880w.

“While Dr. Garnett’s play is equally open to the charge of being a
subject dressed in poetry, rather than poetry incarnate in a fit
subject, it is a remarkably readable and pleasant little book.”

— + =Nation.= 80: 73. Ja. 26, ‘05. 380w.

“Dr. Garnett’s respect for the great Elizabethan is not to be doubted,
but his drama lends to it no emphasis. It contains agreeable lines,
but it is not interesting in development, nor is there any reality in
the general effect. Moreover, the figure of Shakespeare is trivial and
his speech frequently is elaborate and dull. In no respect is he
realized with the distinction and art demanded by a subject so far
from the ordinary.”

+ — =N. Y. Times.= 10: 83. F. 11, ‘05. 480w.

“It is all work at a high level, and the way in which the characters
are made to speak in lines which are echoes of the later Shakespeare
is extremely skilful. There is a humour, too, in many of the scenes,
and much accomplished verse. But it is rather a chapter of Mr. Sidney
Lee’s Life turned into dialogue than a substantive drama.”

What Gaspé did in his Canadian narrative of the early sixties was “to
gather up,” says Mr. Roberts, “and preserve in lasting form the songs
and legends, the characteristic customs, the phases of thought and
feeling, the very local and personal aroma of the rapidly changing
civilization.” The story turns to the days of the last struggle of the
English and the French, and tells the life history of two young men, a
Scot and a Frenchman, both of whom were educated at the Jesuits’
college in Quebec, and later fought against each other on the plains
of Abraham.

“A careful study of the relations between England and Rome, from the
submission of John to the Papal see on Ascension day, 1213, to the
close of his son’s reign. It is written with no desire to defend the

=Gass, Patrick.= Gass’s journal of the Lewis and Clark expedition, ed. by Jas. K. Hosmer. *$3.50. McClurg.

Dr. Hosmer, who contributed to the centennial interest in the Lewis
and Clark expedition thru his “Story of the Louisiana purchase,” has
added further to the commemoration in the present work. The original
jottings of Patrick Gass being no longer extant, nothing of them could
be included in Thwaites’ recent “Original journals of the Lewis and
Clark expedition,” but the chronicles trimmed and shaped by David
McKeehan, under the supervision of Gass, are of so great importance
that the re-issue after sixty years is well warranted. A full
introduction leads up to the records, and a time-saving analytical key
follows the text. The volume is uniform in style with other volumes of
McClurg’s “Americana,” with reproductions of the original
illustrations.

“Dr. Hosmer has confined his editorial work to supplying an
introduction. The volume contains no new contribution, nor does it
make the journal of Gass much more valuable as a source. The
introduction, in an easy though sometimes rather personal style,
always with a view to the picturesque, is a convenient summary of the
results of recent research.”

=Genung, John Franklin.= Ecclesiastes. **$1.25. Houghton.

A philosophical rather than a critical study. “The author, together
with most modern students of the book, rightly discards the word
‘Ecclesiastes,’ the Greek translation of ‘Koheleth,’ in the first
place because it is almost certainly an incorrect translation, and, in
the second place, as the author appropriately observes, because it
‘entitles what is of all Scripture books the least ecclesiastical.’”
(Bib. World.) “He dwells but slightly on the historical background,
and then introduces us to the theory that Koheleth was a reaction
against the immortality doctrine, recently adopted from the Greeks and
pushed into prominence by the Pharisees. The preacher contends against
living for a vague futurity, and insists upon living this present life
to its utmost.” (Cath. World).

“Genung’s thesis is admirably set forth and strongly buttressed by
references to modern literature. But the impression remains that he
has rather read into Koheleth a view which one would like to discover
there, than revealed the actual nature of the book itself.”

“To a full two hundred pages of discussion the author has added a new

latter especially ripples along in clear, crisp sentences that show
how much a deft literary touch may do even for a commentary. In fact,
the book as a whole exhibits in language and treatment the author’s
nice literary taste. In the opinion of the present writer, Professor
Genung is not at his best when he discusses, or rather makes fun of,
Siegfried’s analysis of Koheleth. Satire is not convincing. The
reviewer also feels impelled to enter a non liquet against Professor
Genung’s contention that Koheleth represents a reaction against
contemporary views of immortality. The solid merit of the serious and
painstaking work that has gone into the book will win for it an
honored place on many shelves.” William Frederic Badé.
