=Ker, William Paton.= Dark ages, **$1.50. Scribner.

“Professor Ker, of University college, London, presents, under special
title of ‘The dark ages,’ the first volume of a series of ‘Periods of
European literature,’ to be edited by Professor Saintsbury.... He
begins with an attempt to define this much-abused term....
Chronologically he limits his period by the decline of Roman culture
on the one hand and the year 1100 on the other.... In the second
chapter, ‘The elements,’ we are given a general survey of the whole
period.... The main body of the volume is then divided into two parts,
treating respectively the ‘Latin authors,’ and ‘The Teutonic
languages’; and a short final chapter on the literature of Ireland and
Wales completes what is at best but a hasty survey of a vast
field.”—Am. Hist. R.

“There are enough learned references here to challenge the literary
expert at every turn. Indeed, we can hardly see how any one can
understand this book to whom the things it deals with are not already
perfectly familiar. To such a one it offers a somewhat confused résumé
of matters he should know already. For the young student it is far too
abstruse, and for the general reader it lacks the unity and
concentration which alone can command his attention. Mr. Ker’s bane is
fine writing; he has a certain sense of humor that now and then is
useful, but it leads him into long ways around where directness and
compactness are prime necessities.” E. E.

happy characterization, he maintains the interest even of those who
are prepared to find the Dark ages pretty dull and unprofitable. Of
actual error we think the work will be found to contain very little.”

=Kerr, Robert Pollok.= Blue flag: or, The Covenanters who contended for Christ’s crown and covenant. 75c. Presbyterian com.

The origin and history of the Covenanters is accurately and stirringly
presented in this little book which is intended for class study in
Sunday schools and young people’s societies. To this end a series of
questions is given at the close of the volume.

* =Kerst, Friedrich,= comp. Beethoven: the man and the artist, as revealed in his own words: tr. and ed. by H: E: Krehbiel. *$1. Huebsch.

Much of the material used for compiling this Beethoven handbook has
been drawn from letters, reports of conversations, and diaries
heretofore unavailable. The author has classified his cullings under
appropriate chapter headings, and they serve to enlighten Beethoven
lovers upon the great composer’s spiritual, philosophical and human
observations.

* =Kerst, Friedrich,= comp. Mozart: the man and the artist, as revealed in his own words; tr. and ed. by H: E: Krehbiel. *$1. Huebsch.

From material gleaned here and there, the author has pieced together
“an autobiography of Mozart written without conscious purpose, and for
that reason peculiarly winning, illuminating and convincing. The
outward things in Mozart’s life are all but ignored in it, but there
is a frank and full disclosure of the great musician’s artistic,
intellectual and moral character, made in his own words.”

* =Kester, Vaughan.= Fortunes of the Landrays. †$1.50. McClure.

This story “begins and ends in an Ohio town, and is essentially a
picture of life in that community; but the adventures of certain of
its characters take us at times to the far West with the
forty-niners—to Salt Lake City in the early days of Brigham Young,
to the closing scenes of the Civil war, and to the prairies of
Kansas. The story is one of three generations, not only of the
Landrays, but of the other families with whose fortunes theirs are
associated.”—Dial.

brilliancy.”

=Ketcham, Heber D.= Certainty of the kingdom and other sermons. The Methodist pulpit. Second series, *50c. Meth. bk.

In the hope that the ways of God may be made more plain to his

of the kingdom, Our sonship, The will, the pivot of destiny. The
unveiled vision, Paul, the preacher, and Life’s procession of the

=Key, A. Cooper-.= Primer of explosives, for the use of local inspectors and dealers. *35c. Macmillan.

“The author gives a short description of the manufacture of the chief
explosives, but its great value will be found in the sections devoted
to special risks with each class, the methods of storing and packing,
and a particularly useful chapter on the general construction and
management of a store, the destruction of explosives, etc. It is
certain that a careful study of the book by local inspectors will lead
to a better understanding of the whole question of explosives.... For
those traders and users who have the handling of these goods after
they have left the manufactory the book should be equally
valuable.”—Nature.

=Khan,—(Hadji), and Sparroy, Wilfrid.= With the pilgrims to Mecca, *$3.50. Lane.

An account of Mr. Khan’s journey to Mecca in 1902 as a special
correspondent of the Morning Post. The author is a Mohammedan and
speaks Arabic fluently. He tells of the various rites and ceremonies
which must be performed by the pilgrims, and of their strange
religious feasts and festivals. There are also chapters upon bazaars
and social life in the holy city, the whole being enlivened by the
original humor of the author’s guide. There is a closing chapter upon
the slave market by Mr. Sparroy.

“A book which gives perhaps the most vivid and picturesque account of
the great pilgrimage which has ever been written in English, compared
with which the well known narratives of Burckhardt and Burton are dry,
jejune and colourless. For vigour of style and picturesque treatment
of Hadji Khan may be compared with the famous traveller, Palgrave,
with the latter’s tendency to embroider the narrative at the expense
of accuracy.”

“A romance from the Northland. The love of money and power lead to the
downfall of a society man and to the gradual ruin of a whole
community. The author aims to put corruption and cant in their proper
places.”—Bookm.

=Kildare, Owen.= My Mamie Rose: the story of my regeneration. $1. Baker.

A popular edition of this autobiography of a child of the Bowery, a
newsboy, a “beer slinger” in a notorious dive, a pugilist, one who
could not read or write until he was thirty, who now at thirty-eight
earns his living by his pen, and upholds the cause of right. It is the
story of how this development of the real man in him came about thru
the influence of his Mamie Rose, the little school teacher who died on
the eve of their marriage, and also, tho perhaps he would not admit
it, thru the influence of his pal, the bull pup Bill.

“‘My Mamie Rose’ is a true love story, a human document and a
photograph of slum life as it is to-day. Its effect will be to
demolish theories of environment and to inspire the settlement worker
with greater hope.”

centrifugal fans. There is included in it, however, a brief outline
showing the evolution of the present usual commercial type of
centrifugal fan and some practical information concerning the less
common types, such as the cone type, running without a casing, and
disk or propeller fans. The work is primarily devoted, however, to the
ordinary commercial fan for use in heating and ventilating work or for

=King, Charles.= Medal of honor: a story of peace and war. *$1.25. Hobart.

This is not one of General King’s garrison stories, altho it is of
course a story of the army. Its hero, Ronald Fane, who wins the medal
of honor and the girl he loves, is first an instructor at West Point,
and after active service against the Apaches becomes instructor in
military tactics at a western university. There are many complications
and the plot is skilfully tangled and skilfully straightened out
again.

=N. Y. Times.= 10: 409. Je. 17, ‘05. 380w.

* =King, Charles Francis.= Soldier’s trial. $1.50. Hobart.

A sub-title declares that this novel is, “an episode in the canteen
crusade,” and it does set forth the army sentiment against the well
meaning outsiders who defeated the ends of temperance by abolishing
the canteen; but the book is largely concerned with a garrison scandal
caused by a beautiful Spanish girl with two husbands and many lovers.
There are several unsavory episodes and the book draws, perhaps, a
less pleasing picture of army life than any of General King’s army
stories.

=King, Henry Churchill.= Personal and ideal elements in education. **$1.50. Macmillan.

“President King writes for the scholar a conservative interpretation
of the results gained by men like Coe, Starbuck, and Leuba in their
researches concerning psychology of conversion and allied themes....
The chapters were first delivered as papers before religious
conventions.... The volume contains President King’s inaugural
address, another plea for the retention of the old-time college
course.”—Dial.

“President King ... has brought together the ‘four great emphases’ of
psychological study in popular form, and pointed out their direct
practical bearing on the conduct of life. For the satisfaction of
those who have not at hand the works of the masters in psychology, he
quotes these freely, so that the reader may judge of the adequacy of
the grounds on which are based the practical counsels which they
suggest for rational living in respect to growth, character,
happiness, and influence. In conclusion it is shown that ‘just these
ideal conditions to which psychology leads us Christ declares to be
actual.’”—Outlook.

The sweat shop, the college settlement, and the college itself, each
points its own moral in this story of Marion, the niece of a
millionaire, who turns from a life of luxury to work among the poor.
Her self sacrifice, however, is not rewarded by personal happiness
for, in the renunciation of Roger, her betrothed, she suffers equally

“Any book from the pen of Dr. William Knight, the Wordsworth scholar

After noting, in his preface, the indisputable benefit to be derived
from communion, whether personal or thru books, with ‘characters that
are strong, original, exalted and benign, that are many sided,
fertile-minded and ideal,’ he says a word condemnatory of that
distorted presentation of a man’s life which is not seldom found in
the so-called critical biography.” (Dial). “Professor Knight ... adds
to fuller and more formal accounts of his literary contemporaries odds
and ends of which he has had personal knowledge.” (N. Y. Times). Among
the most interestingly discussed are Carlyle, Browning, Frederick D.
Maurice, and Matthew Arnold. A second volume is promised.
