=Gide, Charles.= Principles of political economy; second American ed.; tr. by C. Wm. A. Veditz. $2. Heath.

The eight editions through which the original French “Principes
d’economie politique” has gone, mark a succession of changes in
certain sections of the book, but leave the fundamental purpose the
same,—that of giving to the reader “a plain statement of the accepted
principles of economics, a summary of the unsettled problems of the
science, and a clear, brief, and impartial outline of the various
solutions that have been proposed. The author is almost as felicitous
in presenting a subject that in the hands of most scholars is
extremely dull as was Henry George. This work has been brought down to
the latest date and evidently no pains have been spared, within
certain limits, to present the subject in a broad, up-to-date and
comprehensive manner. A third excellence is found in its concrete
presentation of the subject.” (Arena).

“Perhaps much of the popularity of the book is due to its catholicity.
The arrangement of the material is open to criticism as unnatural and
liable to interrupt and confuse the thought. This is not true as
regards the general plan of the book, but only as regards topics under
the chief heads. Professor Veditz must be given credit and
congratulation for the vitality and the up-to-dateness of this book.”
Walter E. Kruesi.

+ + — =Ann. Am. Acad.= 25: 347. Mr. ‘05. 380w.

“It is written in a charmingly lucid manner. By the author’s method of
presentation the interest in the subject and its intelligibility have
gained rather than lost by the concise and direct treatment. The
division and arrangement of the work are also admirable and with the
fairly good index enable the reader to find anything he desires with
little loss of time. This work, though far less open to criticism than
many conventional political economies, falls, in our judgment, far
short of meeting the demands of an up-to-date political economy that
claims to present impartially the various present-day theories of
government. The claim of the publishers, that the book is impartial,
is not borne out by the facts.”

In this sequel to her “Autobiography of a tom-boy,” Miss Gilder tells

employed as a copyist by a historian, later she worked in the
Philadelphia mint, then became in turn a tinter of photographs, an
auditor’s clerk, a proofreader, and, finally, a successful newspaper
woman. She gives her impressions of New York thirty years ago; and
many distinguished literary men, singers and actors of that day enter
into her story.

“She has interpreted the whole situation with that shrewd, honest,
impersonal intelligence which is founded upon humor and common sense
rather than upon the usual sentimental pose of such a writer to her
theme.”

=Gilfillan, Joseph Alexander.= Ojibway; a novel of Indian life of the period of the early advance of civilization in the great Northwest. $1.50. Neale.

The Ojibway in relation to his own kindred and tribe is pictured in
this narrative so humane that were it not for his wilderness
surroundings, his crude equipments, his superstitious fear, one might
count him the owner of some developed instincts. But the recital of
the horrible and bloodthirsty relations with the Sioux tribe reveals
such abject savagery that the reader fairly recoils from it. The book
is made up of these two phases, with many incidental allusions to
traits and customs.

“To call the book a novel was a misnomer. It is rather a series of
moving pictures in which we see real people doing real things. In
spite of careless proofreading, conspicuous faults of diction and
unfortunate lack of experienced editing, the story is told with ...
simplicity and vividness.”

=Gilman, N. P.= Methods of industrial peace. **$1.60. Houghton.

This book will be gladly received by the student of social movements,
as there is increasing demand for new works upon the “labor question,”
due to the rapid growth of knowledge thru investigation, and the
steady change in facts and phases of the question itself. “The book
takes an Anglo-Saxon point of view, since it draws almost as much upon
English as upon American experience, besides making considerable
reference to Australian and New Zealand developments. It undertakes a
good deal more than a discussion of the special machinery designed to
further industrial peace, giving a brief but concise statement of the
chief facts incidental to the history and present position of trade
unionism. [Then the author shows the necessity for the efficient
organization of both employers and employed, discusses the “sliding
scale,” raises the question of the legal constitution and liability of
trade unions.] ... The ensuing chapters deal at some length with the
aims and methods of unions, their conduct of strikes and boycotts, and
the place borne by the public in relation to their actions. The
remainder of the book is given to a general account of trade boards of
conciliation, state boards of arbitration, and the methods of legal
regulation in force in New Zealand.” (Int. J. Ethics).

learning.” C. R. Henderson.

+ + =Am. J. Soc.= 10: 557. Ja. ‘05. 280w.

“If a general criticism might be ventured on the whole book, it would

+ + — =Ann. Am. Acad.= 25: 602. My. ‘05. 550w.

“The chief value of the book will be the statement, dispassionate, and
in clear form, of the main facts of the case and of the principles in
accordance with which industrial organization would appear to be
moving. Mr. Gilman has traveled over so much ground that he has at
times become a little sketchy in his treatment. Description rather
than economic analysis is the strong point of the book. In a subject
so far reaching, however, it is perhaps unfair to expect more than a
broad presentation of the material which will enable others to
formulate particular problems and to attempt independent judgments.
This Mr. Gilman has done in a manner so interesting as to command the
gratitude of all interested in current labor problems.” C. J.
Hamilton.

inaccuracies and occasional unfairness, it contains much information
presented in a readable way, with many references to secondary and
some to primary sources. It must also be said that he has generalized
too broadly on insufficient evidence, and has been influenced too much
by his prepossession for state regulation to give an unbiased
interpretation of the strivings of the leaders of employers and of
employes towards satisfactory methods of industrial peace.”

=Gissing. George.= Veranilda. †$1.50. Dutton.

As the posthumous historical novel of one who was essentially a modern
realist, this unfinished work has called forth much comment and
speculation upon the author’s change of style. It is a romance of Rome
in the sixth century, and deals with the historical persons and events
of the time of Justinian and Belisarius. Mr. Frederic Harrison, who
writes the introduction, considers it the author’s most important
work, showing, “his poetical gift for local color, his subtle insight
into spiritual mysticism, and ... his really fine scholarship and
classical learning.”

tiresomely slow, and the story destitute of a single throb of real

=Glover, T. R.= Studies in Virgil. $3. Longmans.

“It falls naturally into four parts. The first is a chapter on the age
and the man, and in it we are shown how Virgil, himself the child of a
darker period, had a vision of a brighter day to come, and taught his
countrymen to look forward hopefully to the age which was opening
before them. The next consists of three chapters of literary studies:
the first treats of the literary influences to which Virgil was
subject, the second of his contemporaries, and the third about the
growth of the myths about Aeneas. The third portion of the book deals,
in three chapters, with the land and the nation, the three topics
being Italy, Rome, and Augustus. The last part of the book is on
Virgil’s interpretation of life, and here we have chapters on Dido,
Aeneas, Hades, and Olympus, and a final summary.”—Nation.

“In the long list of writings on Virgil and his poetry, Mr. Glover’s
new book deserves a high place. The chapter about Dido is perhaps the
best in the book, and certainly it is one of the most interesting and
sensible essays on that famous episode of the Aeneid which we have
ever read. The chapter on Aeneas is unconvincing, and almost a
failure. Neither do we care much for the last chapter. But as a whole
the book ought to be of great assistance to all who wish to get a true
conception of the powers and the weaknesses of the greatest of the
Roman poets.”

=Gocher, W. H.= Wadsworth; or, The charter oak. $2. W: H: Gocher, Hartford, Conn.

“It purports to give all that is ascertainable relating to the hiding
of the colonial charter, in 1687, in the famous oak tree at
Hartford,—an incident of which Captain Joseph Wadsworth, according to
doubtful tradition, was the hero. Wadsworth himself, is made to tell
the story of the charter and its hiding, in language that is
undisguisedly hodiernal, and with many interpolations of matter
remotely or not at all connected with the main theme. The chapters on
the Royal oak, on Cromwell, and on the regicides, are of this
irrelevant nature. The wording, and still more the spelling, of Joseph
Wadsworth’s will, which is printed in full, are so strikingly in
contrast with the modernity of his supposed narrative, that not the

“‘The purpose of Colonel and Mrs. Goff in this handsome volume is to
describe the most characteristic monuments of Tuscany and to introduce
into the account, legends and stories which are not always within
reach of the traveler.... On a basis of historical narrative ... Mrs.
Goff has given her readers a vivid picture of a city with a passion
for politics, a passion for war, and a passion for art. Large
attention is given to the churches of Florence.... The volume is
richly illustrated in colors by Colonel Goff and issued with a
decorative cover.”—Outlook.

“To this charming series of pictures Mrs. Goff has provided an
agreeable and easily-written commentary. Too easily written, we fear,
to be quite exact in all its information. Mrs. Goff is at her best
when she leaves the town for the country, and when she turns from
history to describing the life of the Tuscan people of to-day, their
festivals, quaint observances and ancient superstitions. The last

followers, and the great philosophical movement which he fathered;
also an account of Plato and his philosophy. 13 chapters are given
wholly to a critical analysis of the course and structure of Plato’s
works.

“It will admirably serve the purpose of the general reader who is
interested in philosophy as an element in the history of human
culture. And for the technical student who has mastered some of the
more rigorous treatises, it will be useful in completing and vivifying
his picture of the great thinkers of Greece.” Walter G. Everett.
