=Hale, William.= Dauntless viking. $1.50. Badger.

The foreword states that “this story of the Gloucester fisheries is a
conscientious study of the local life and color as it actually
exists.” It follows the fortunes of a young viking who comes to
America and casts his lot among the fishermen of Cape Ann, and is told
in the broken English of the sons of Norway. It describes a hard life
and does not close upon a happy ending, but lets the hero win success
and happiness, and then ends grimly.

=Hall, Charles Cuthbert.= Christian belief interpreted by Christian experience. *$1.50. Univ. of Chicago press.

These lectures were delivered in India, Ceylon and Japan on the
Barrows foundation, 1902-1903, and are now submitted to Western
readers in book form that they may see “the manner and style of the
work done in India for Indians.” Written in that spirit of broad
sympathy which is essential if the Christian would successfully
approach the non-Christian mind, they appeal to all creeds, to all
ages, to all seekers after God.

“The foremost merit of President Hall’s ‘Barrows lectures’ is their
supreme tact, their gracious Christian courtesy.”

=Hall, Edward.= Henry VIII.; with an introd. by C: Whibley. 2v. *$12. Grafton press.

This text is reprinted from the folio edition of 1550. In its quaint
English it gives an account of the social rather than the political
phases of the reign of the “high and prudent prince, King Henry the
Eighth, the indubitate flower, and very heire” of Lancaster and York.
It gives a brilliant and interesting picture of the early 16th
century, it narrates faithfully, but lets many great heads go to the
block without comment. It was safer so in those times.

=Halstead, George Bruce.= Rational geometry. $1.75. Wiley.

Altho Euclid still holds its place as the one authoritative text book
on geometry, modern criticism tends to make pure reason the only court
of appeal, and doubts the reliability of the intuition of our senses.
This “Rational geometry” upholds this view, using points, lines and
planes as the names of things, the physical conception of which is not
necessary. “The object is to deduce the conclusions which follow from
certain assumed relations between these things, so that if the
relations hold, the conclusions follow, whatever these things may be.
Space is the totality of these things; its properties are solely
logical, and varied in character according to the assumed fundamental
relations. These assumed relations which develop space concepts that
are apparently in accord with vision constitute the modern foundations
of Euclidean space.” (Science). At a hasty glance the book does not
appear to differ from ordinary text-books, diagrams are given, but not
as essential to the argument. Altho the method of development is new,
all the school propositions of both plane and solid geometry are
eventually developed.

* Reviewed by E. T. Brewster.

=Atlan.= 96: 682. N. ‘05. 180w.

“The aim of modern rational geometry is to pass from premise to
conclusion solely by the force of reason. Mr. Halstead is the first to
write an elementary text-book, which adopts a modern view, and in this
respect his ‘Rational geometry’ is epoch-making. It seems as if the
present text-book ought not to be above the heads of the average
elementary students, and that it should serve to develop logical power
as well as practical geometrical ideas.” Arthur S. Hathaway.

of April fool’s day, and July fourth, and in his encounters with old
Hostetters, for Pinkey is always quick-witted, and never malicious.

A story of Tennessee, which treats of the race question. Viry, whose
mother is three parts white and whose father is a Southern gentleman,
feels the call of the white race but is doomed to be relegated to the
black. Loathing any affiliation with them, she is one of them, and the
slight arguments used by her dead father’s wife, who forgives her
husband and nobly tries to do her duty by his alien child, neither
help her nor solve the problem. There are other characters and an

readers whose ignorance of German does not interfere with their
interest in the beginnings of Christianity and the advance of the
early church.... One of the most valuable parts of Prof. Harnack’s
book is that which deals with the extension of Christianity down to
325 A. D.”—Ath.

* “It is the best account that we have yet had of the way in which
Christianity spread over the civilized world. Where the book is
disappointing is in its attempted explanation of the remarkable way in

“The strange woman who is the central personage of this queer story
has three distinct personalities.... [She] is Lady Torbeth, the
cultivated, self-centered, high-minded wife of a British peer.... She
is also a Miss Errington, neurotic and erotic, and a Miss Leighton,
sentimental and innocent.... The problem is to expel the two

and spiritual significance of the Old Testament history.”—Outlook.

“It is painstaking, accurate and thorough in scholarship, fair and

Religion as presented by President Harper in these talks to students
is an attractive but very serious thing, to be gotten and kept only by
the bravest struggle. He summons his hearers to meet the peculiar and
tremendous responsibilities which rest upon them as college men, and
tells them with an almost fatherly sympathy and undertone of pleading
how religion will help them in a most practical way to meet the
sufferings and temptations which await them. Noteworthy are the
chapter on Our intellectual difficulties, in which he shows that
doubts are not inconsistent with the Christian life, but are in fact
inevitable, and the chapter entitled Bible study and religious life,
in which he argues that the supreme spiritual value of the Bible is
independent of the literary and historical criticism to which it is
properly subjected.

=Harper, William Rainey.= Trend in higher education. *$1.50. Univ. of Chicago press.

Dr. Harper presents a series of observations which have been made
along the way towards the yet unreached goal of a formulated
philosophy of the trend in higher education. He shows that the
conspicuous elements which characterize the movement—among them
college self-government, freedom from ecclesiastical control, and
right of free utterance—all point towards the “growing democratization
of higher educational work.” Some of the chapters are, “The university
and democracy,” “Some present tendencies of popular education,” “The
university and religious education,” “Waste in higher education,”
“Dependence of the West upon the East,” “The business side of the
university,” “Are school teachers underpaid?” “Why are there fewer
students for the ministry?” “University training for a business
career,” “Coeducation,” etc.

“The articles, with the exception of some brief occasional addresses,
are vital and frank almost to the point of bluntness. The treatment is
fair, and no attempt is made to criticize a particular institution by
insinuation. Dr. Harper takes a vigorous and business-like attitude,
modern but not radical.” Henry Davidson Sheldon.

subject, whether hostile or friendly to his purpose of vindicating the
rationality of Christian theology. His standpoint is indicated by his
belief that the sayings of Jesus to his disciples ‘undoubtedly confer
a supernatural authority of some kind’ upon the Church.”—Outlook.

“While his work in a number of points fails of meeting the full demand

=Harris, J. Henry.= Fishers. $1.50. Lane.

A poor fishing-village in Cornwall forms the setting of this novel,
and the narrow views of the simple, superstitious fisher-folk are
strongly contrasted with the broad-minded outlook of Uncle Zack, who
is a progressive power, and a wholly charming character. The romance
of the story is furnished by Robert Pendean the son of a successful
Wall street speculator. Robert, while at Harvard develops a taste for
Utopian social ideals and his father gives him five million dollars
and sends him to Europe in the hope that he will acquire a taste for
“high finance.” He drifts into Cornwall, falls in love with Mary
Vaughan, and these two, to the joy of Uncle Zack, develop a
co-operative enterprise among the fishermen and build a model fishing
village near the dilapidated old town.

“A thoughtful and well-written novel, a romance in which the common
life of a poor fishing village is invested with rare charm, while with
a few exceptions the ethical ideals evinced are wholesome. It is to us
a matter of much surprise to find a writer who while not evincing the
bravery of thought or grasp of fundamental principles that mark the
writings of advanced economists and practical idealists among modern
social philosophers, is nevertheless far in advance of many
conventional religious, ethical and social teachers, striving to
justify the gaining of wealth through speculation in Wall street.”

follows Pitt’s career “through the long years in opposition, through
the days of savage attacks upon Walpole, upon ‘the brilliant Carteret,
the vacillating Pulteney, the tricky Newcastle,’ the king’s
‘Hanoverian policy,’ the rivalries in the Commons with Henry Fox and
Murray, who was later Lord Mansfield; the tenure of the Pay office and
the marvel of Pitt’s perfect honesty, the support of the Pelham
ministry (and certain inconsistencies thereto appertaining), till at
last, in 1756, ‘the terrible cornet of horse,’ the bugbear of
governments, became ‘First minister,’ though under the nominal
leadership of the Duke of Devonshire.” (N. Y. Times.)

conviction.”

his vision is sane and comprehensive. Dr. Andrews has accomplished a
great task worthily. It means something not merely to scholarship but

of work. [Vol. III.] Like the rest of the works, rather written down
to what the author considers the standard of public intelligence.
Nevertheless it views its subject with a breadth and force that make

“The author of this volume [vol. I] has had a difficult task, and has
done it admirably. The story is told delightfully and with care; but
the necessity for compression causes occasionally a lack of clearness.
The author [of vol. II] himself informs us that his task has been one
of condensation, and the results are especially evident in the first
third of the volume, which is somewhat below the general average of
interest. The chief service of this portion of the book will be its
suggestiveness and the references in Professor Farrand’s excellent
bibliography. The many striking summaries of events and
characterizations of individuals which one finds throughout the book
[in vol III]. [In vol. IV] President Tyler has given us a scrupulously
fair and a very interesting work. The author gives us no detailed
study of institutional growth, but a general narrative. Here one
inevitably compares President Tyler’s work with that of the late Mr.
Fiske, with results not at all to the disadvantage of President Tyler.
[Vol. V]. This is very certainly the best general account of this
period that has yet appeared. One feels that the author not only has
intimate acquaintance with the old sources, but also has been
fortunate enough to reach considerable new material. Professor Andrews
is especially to be congratulated upon the catholic view of colonial
history that he presents to us. As successful as his descriptions of
institutions is the author’s delineation of personality. We must not
omit commendation of the bibliographical matter appended to each
