Chapter XXI: Part IV: gives the story of relief methods at times of disaster.” (Am (7)

“His theme is the very modern problem of the divorce evil, and he
shows us how the undercurrent of emotion eventually triumphs over
reason, and sweeps away the intellectual objections which stand in the
path of a woman’s happiness. The situation is subtly handled, and one
of the oldest of stories thereby acquires new distinction. It is the
familiar story of marriage without much thought, the husband’s rapid
development into a vulgar brute, and his final desertion of wife and
children. Then the right man appears upon the scene, and the deserted
wife is torn by the conflict between desire and duty. The plea of duty
is voiced by the representatives of church and society, and their
argument convinces her intellect, yet it takes only a slight mishap to
the man whom she loves to bring about her surrender.”—Dial.

“As a carefully considered, well-rounded, unimpassioned treatment,
this book deserves attentive reading and deep pondering. The legal
clearness with which Judge Grant has analyzed the question, and the
thoroughness and skill with which he has embodied all its aspects in
the individual characters and the action of the story, make ‘The
undercurrent’ a constructive master-piece. Its interest is timely,
therefore, rather than literary, and its value practical and ethical,
not artistic. Neither of these facts, nevertheless, derogates from its
literary importance. A notable literary expression of conviction among
the books of its day.”

“Deals with two insistent problems of American society—the problem of
enormous wealth and the problem of divorce. Judge Grant treats both
with calmness and sanity. The characters and the story by means of
which Judge Grant illustrates his views are thoroughly attractive from
the point of view of literature. ‘The undercurrent’ is first of all a
novel, and an excellent one, and only secondarily a book of purpose.”

“A sane and two-sided view of this problem. The author is master of

=Granville, W. A.= Elements of differential and integral calculus. $2.50. Ginn.

To meet the need of a modern text-book on calculus which is at once
rigorous and elementary, is the rather difficult task of the author.
“On the one hand it is necessary to avoid the worthless and even
vicious forms of reasoning which mar so many elementary treatises and
which are simply intolerable to one educated according to modern
standards of rigor. On the other hand, the author must not introduce
subtleties of reasoning and logical refinements beyond the needs and
comprehension of those who are to use the book. The volume under
review is an attempt to solve this problem.” (Science).

“Its first quality is clearness; its second, judicious accentuation.
The ground notions are admirably handled, and throughout, the nature
and limitations of important theorems are conscientiously indicated.”

He will get no false notions which afterwards will have to be
eradicated, with much difficulty; he will, on the other hand, acquire
a considerable acquaintance with the principles of the calculus and a
good working knowledge of its methods. The relatively few blemishes in

The first of these stories, “The house in the mist,” is the tale of

According to the will they assemble, are apportioned their shares, and
then trapped to their death. The harrowing succession of events is
relieved only by the escape of the one worthy heir. The other story,

The marriage between Marcus Drummond and Lady Marcia Defresne was for
the one the fulfillment of a ten-years’ dream—dating back to a moment
when a bronzed traveler boy of sixteen rescued a child from her fall
over a precipice—for the other, a release for herself and family from
pecuniary predicaments. The man loves his wife, and the course of
events which awakens her love for him is strongly associated with a
mystery. The story has a strong dramatic interest.

with others who write of artists and their work. Such books as these
become, in a sense, a kind of superior guidebook to galleries, palaces

This volume is in two parts, the first, a sketch of Hurrell Froude and
his life, consisting mainly of letters and journals, the second, a
collection of comments upon him and his connection with the Oxford
movement. Outside of those interested in English religious movements,
Hurrell Froude, brother of the historian, and John Henry Newman’s most
intimate friend, is perhaps little known, and this book gives in
detail the man’s influence upon his associates and the religious
movements of his time, as well as his personality and character.

=Gwynn, Stephen.= Thomas Moore. **75c. Macmillan.

The author, who is already known as a novelist and a critic of
English-Irish literature, is also an Irishman and consequently found
an unusually happy subject in Thomas Moore. The romantic rise of Moore
from the Dublin grocery store to London’s rank and fashion is
detailed. The critical estimate of his work is fully given, and his
part in the last century’s remarkable advance in poetical technique is
enlarged upon.

“His life is excellently set forth in this volume, the author having
evidently put before him as the object of his task the painting of a
faithful portrait. Mr. Gwynn has added considerably to his already
very considerable repute by this capital little book, in which he does
justice to his subject and to himself.” W. Teignmouth Shore.

successful in evoking for the imagination the world in which the poet
lived. As a literary estimate, while it neither observes its subject
from a new angle, nor throws new light upon it, it is upon the whole a
thoroughly competent and workmanlike performance—an orderly,
trustworthy, and comprehensive statement of the established critical
opinions regarding Moore’s poetry and prose. Mr. Gwynn has shown

A book which gives a vivid picture of Spanish peasant life. The story
concerns the only son of the Marquis de Bazan who is kidnapped by his
father’s enemy, a “bandolero,” and brought up on an Andalusian farm.
The boy falls in love with his playmate, the bandit’s daughter, and
altho her father violently opposes their marriage, he at last not only
gives his consent but sacrifices his life for the son of his enemy.
Altho the plot is melodramatic, the scenes of country life are homely
and humorous.

“The romance is thoroughly interesting, and has a considerable degree
of literary charm.” Wm. M. Payne.

“Mr. Gwynne has painted for us the large sun-lit landscape of the
Andalusian plains and the slow comedy of village life with a certainty
of touch and a depth of colour which are entirely admirable. But apart
from merits of atmosphere and scenery, he has a very stirring story to
tell and much excellent character-drawing. Mr. Gwynne, though he deals
with the favourite constituents of melodrama, is always a serious
novelist, and his characters are as carefully studied as his plot. Mr.
Gwynne has found a field in which he need fear no rival, and we
welcome a book so full of freshness and vitality.”

This volume is supplementary to the author’s “Riddle of the universe,”

biological information and is probably too technical to be popular.
“His whole method of argument is based on the continuity of life, the
unity of nature, and his metaphysics grows out of his biology. The
book is divided into four parts, in which he treats respectively of
the knowledge, the nature, the functions and the history of life.
Altho he is now in his seventy-second year he has not lost the skill
in classification and terminology which has given him his special
reputation, and he uses effectively the tabular form and parallel
columns to elucidate his theories and to contrast them with those of
his opponents.” (Ind.)

=Hale, Harris Grafton.= Who then is this? a study of the personality of Jesus. *$1.25. Pilgrim press.

“The personality of Jesus is exhibited as in a normally human

all measure of comparison. The work avoids technical theology, but its
Christological view is clearly of the Ritschlian type. Mr. Hale is a
Congregational minister.”—Outlook.
