chapter takes up cranes, bents, towers, viaducts, and other
miscellaneous structures. A notable feature of the new edition is the
extensive use of illustrations, including half-tone views of notable
truss bridges, folding plates and numerous text drawings.”—Engin. N.

* =Mertins, Gustave F.= Storm signal. $1.50. Bobbs.

Two intertwined love stories provide the romantic interest in this
story of the South and the negro. The conditions in the South after
the Civil war are vividly presented, the good old negro type is well
drawn, but the real story is that of the negro uprising, when black
fiends, driven to desperation by the recital of their wrongs in their
secret meetings, attack and are repulsed. There are strong dramatic
scenes and characters which, tho unpleasing, are strikingly portrayed.

* =Merwin, Samuel.= Road builders. †$1.50. Macmillan.

“To make an achievement in railroad building dramatic and exciting and
to hold the reader’s interest in suspense from beginning to end is a
feat in fiction writing which few men would attempt.... The young
engineer who with bulldog determination and ever-ready invention puts
his engineering feat through on time, in the face of cunning enemies,
natural obstacles, and stupid and criminal employees, is a type, but
he is also a rousing good fellow.”—Outlook.

is finally accomplished, is the evidence Mr. Merwin gives of his own
growth in character delineation. Each man is different from every
other, and all are real, whether good or bad.”

=Metcalf, Maynard Mayo.= Outline of the theory of organic evolution. *$2.50. Macmillan.

A series of lectures given by Professor Metcalf before the Woman’s
college of Baltimore, expanded and put in book form. It is not a
technical biological book, but it is an introductory survey of the
biological theory of evolution and is intended for the general reader.
It gives well established facts in their general outlines, and deals
with some of the most striking phenomena of anatomy.

“It is a treatise so clear, simple and fascinating withal, that the
subject can not only be readily grasped by the most slow-thinking
reader, but few who peruse the opening pages will be content to lay it
aside. This book is precisely the work that general readers need. It
is a volume that should be read by every young man and woman in
America.” Amy C. Rich.

+ + + =Arena.= 33: 335. Mr. ‘05. 450w.

“Presents in a clear and simple style the fundamental principles of
organic evolution in a form very well adapted to the needs of the
general reader and to those who wish an outline of the theory of
Darwinism. Perhaps the most striking feature of the book is the wealth
of clear and very well selected illustrations.”

+ + + =Bot. G.= 39: 301. Ap. ‘05. 160w.

“Two features of the book are especially praiseworthy: first, the
clearness and distinctness with which essentials are presented;
second, the wealth of illustration. It is safe to say that no previous
popular treatise on evolution has been so completely and so well
illustrated as this. The chief criticism to be made regarding the book
as a whole is its failure to give any adequate account of the
important results of many of the recent investigations in the field of
evolution.”

+ + — =Dial.= 38: 92. F. 1, ‘05. 540w.

“The volume under consideration will find its own place, because it is
far better than the least technical books on evolution previously
published. It will form an excellent introduction to the classical
books on evolution. The author has very successfully attempted to
write in a non-technical and popular style. No other book in the same
field is so lavishly illustrated. Without hesitation the reviewer
recommends the book to those who want information about the theory in
its non-technical bearings.”

+ + + =Ind.= 58: 323. F. 9, ‘05. 520w.

“This is one of the best popular accounts of the theory of evolution

* =Metchnikoff, Elie.= Immunity in infective diseases; tr. from the French by Francis G. Binnie. *$5.25. Macmillan.

Metchnikoff’s theory “is familiar enough now to the reading public
with its protective forces in the body; leucocytes ready to mass
together to repulse the assault of germ organisms as well as their
toxic products; but the work is not primarily on macrophages and
microphages, but on the great question of immunity from infection.
This extends through immunity of protozoans, metazoans (multicellular
plants), and finally of animals—immunity either natural or acquired.
The ramifications of the work extend over a vast area of
experimentation and citation of contemporaneous work, but the immunity
always is attributed, in one way or another, to the protective
activity of the leucocytes. This makes the work a very agreeably
unified one, and clearly drawn colored illustrations of the leucocytic
activity do much to enhance the value of the treatise.”—Pub. Opin.

their rates’; and he has hurried into print with this book lest
Congress ‘may be led to enact ill-considered laws granting dangerously

book describes Prof. Meyer’s studies of the state-owned and operated
railways in Europe and Australia.... In part II. Prof. Meyer takes up

on the ‘Old Catholic reform movement’ on the continent, and
incidentally on this history of the Church of England during the last
fifty years or so.... Aside from this, the book contains a

his attention at the moment. The book seems to open our eyes to an
interested observation of the things around us.

“It is packed with scientific facts, with clear and practical

=Michaelis Karin (Katharina Marie Bech Brondum=). Andrea, the tribulations of a child; tr. by John Nilsen Laurvik. $1. McClure.

The famous Danish author has written the story of a young girl whose
father and mother are unhappily estranged. The little heroine devotes
her life to bringing them together and her tribulations and soul
struggles as revealed in her diary finally accomplish this end, when
her parents read the pitiful little book together after her untimely
death.

=Michelson, Miriam.= Madigans. †$1.50. Century.

Six high-spirited, clever, mischievous youngsters, whose very
names—among them Split, Sissy, Bep and Fom—suggest the hostile brevity
that often characterizes the sisterly relations, riot in the
foreground of this family stage, while a father deep in
too-much-for-me perplexity, and an irresponsible aunt figure in the
rear. Tho there are slights, digs and taunts, deep down in the heart
of each is an untrained affection for the other, and staunch loyalty.
It is a lively story for young readers, many of whom will discover a
fellow feeling for some Madigan. Mr. Orson Lowell’s illustrations are
happily in keeping with the author’s portrayal.

“Their escapades are brightly told and they are very human.”

A group of about fifty poems whose themes include life, love and
nature. “None of the shorter pieces in Mr. Mifflin’s volume is very

=Mighels, Philip Verrill.= Ultimate passion: a novel. †$1.50. Harper.

An honest young politician with high ideals accepts the support of a
corrupt political ring in his race for the presidency in order that he
may learn their methods and thus combat them. Three women come into
his life, the foolish daughter of the “boss”, an adventuress, and a
real woman who arouses the “ultimate passion” which survives when his
political campaign fails.

“If you want a good example of the book which overreaches itself by
deliberate exaggeration, you will find it in ‘The ultimate passion.’”
Frederic Taber Cooper.

— =Bookm.= 21: 602. Ag. ‘05. 420w.

“The introductory chapters are written chiefly for those who have the

=Millar, A. H.= Mary, Queen of Scots. *$1. Scribner.

In establishing the reasons for difficulty in understanding Queen
Mary’s character, the author says: “Any natural determination toward
tolerance which Mary’s character may have originally possessed was
warped and distorted by her early education; and her disposition, once
gentle and confiding, may have been changed by her experience of the
faithlessness of mankind into that form of stolid distrust which
suspects the truest friend and questions the least interested
motives.” His biography is based on this view of things. “Mr. Millar
believes and most readers will believe, that the errors committed by
Mary Stuart were more of the heart than of the head.” (Outlook.)

“Mr. Millar’s book is a careful presentation of facts, with a due
regard for the bearing of the political questions of the time. It is,
in truth, a well-written piece of history. He is not her partisan
through thick and thin.”

=Miller, Rev. James Russell.= Inner life. *50c. Crowell.

In this new volume in the “Chiswick series,” Dr. Miller shows that if
the heart be given to Christ, if the inner life be made beautiful,
this beauty will show in the deeds of our outer life and the world for
us will be re-created.

=Miller, Rev. James Russell.= When the song begins. **65c. Crowell.

Another of Dr. Miller’s devotional books. Its object is to help people

Kristy enjoys very much, and which other little girls may enjoy also.”

translations and some original verse interpretative of the life and
genius of Petrarch. The prose consists of small but rather discursive
chapters touching various points in connection with Laura, her
identity, her birthplace, her character, and incidents in her
relations with Petrarch.” (Outlook.)

+ — — =Nation.= 80: 180. Mr. 2, ‘05. 460w.

“Has quite unconsciously given false values to internal evidence. He
found in Petrarch’s verse what he wished to find there, and where
twist, quibble, and distortion fail him he sets down his theory as a
self-evident truth. Candor forces us to praise Mr. Mills’
ingeniousness rather than his scholarship. We can freely applaud his
poetry, however, which gives a far stronger illusion of reality than
do Landor’s Conversations between the same persons.”

heart, What makes a nation great? Unconscious deterioration, and A

“A highly idealized story of New York life when the eighteenth century
was young. Caroline of Courtlandt street, the daughter of an actress,
yearns for her mother’s profession and by way of proving her right to
enter it plays a pretty little comedy in which her father’s

=Milyoukov, Paul.= Russia and its crisis. *$3. Univ. of Chicago press.

In interpreting the Russian present by the Russian past, the author
produces the results of long years of study. Professor Milyoukov is a
representative of the branch of the liberal party known as the
“Intellectuals,” and his work for freedom has already brought him
calumny, imprisonment and exile. The aim of his discussion is to
reveal the internal crisis in Russia as an outgrowth of the historical
circumstances under which Russian civilization has developed. The
author has explained the permanent and lasting elements in the
political, social and religious life of a great world-power.

“Our pleasure at the thought and learning displayed in the lectures of

“A history of a magazine which for so many years held the chief place
in the periodical literature of the South and an honorable one in that
of the country, written by the gentleman who was its editor and
proprietor from 1843 to 1847, and who now at the good old age of
eighty-six, is perhaps the only survivor of those who were personally

=Mitchell, S. Weir.= Constance Trescot. $1.50. Century.

The tragic story of a young northern wife who goes with her husband to
St. Ann, Missouri, where he is agent for a large estate. He becomes
involved in a law suit, and is the prey of the prejudices and
misconceptions so common to the reconstruction period. After his
murder, Constance lives only to avenge herself upon his slayer, and
the story becomes a strong psychological study of the charming woman’s
selfish cruelty. It is a masterly book, unusual, and real, both in
theme and characters.

“It is told in a masterly fashion.” Richard W. Kemp.

imagination of the reader by means of the art of the novelist.”

=Mitchell, Silas Weir.= Youth of Washington: told in the form of an autobiography. †$1.50. Century.

To think the thoughts of Washington as he thought them, to express
them as he might have expressed them, in a word, to command a view of
men and things as this general and statesman of Mount Vernon looked
upon them, has been a unique task, to say nothing of the daring
implied. But Dr. Mitchell has only reversed the great process of
dramatization. Instead of fitting an actor to the mold of some great
writer’s conception, as the stage continually does, he starts with the
man and suits his thoughts and speech to the individual. Years of
study, fresh enthusiasm, and keen insight into human nature have been
brought to bear on his unusual task.

“Dr. Weir Mitchell has added another to the melancholy examples of
Washingtonion dullness. It is sedate, detailed, conscientious and very
dull.”

— =Acad.= 68: 63. Ja. 21, ‘05. 320w.

“May be judged as history or as fiction, according to the taste of the
reader, and possesses high merit in either aspect. It would be
possible to criticize some of Dr. Mitchell’s statements, and the
conception of Washington’s mother is too harsh and even contradictory
in detail to be either true or pleasing.” Worthington Chauncey Ford.

+ + — =Am. Hist. R.= 10: 444. Ja. ‘05. 430w.

“Only a Weir Mitchell or his equal could have accomplished
successfully the daring feat of personating George Washington. But in

is hard to realize that the quaint, formal phraseology is not indeed
his own. His criticisms of his family and himself are frank and
delightful.”

=Mitton, G. E.= The dog. $2. Macmillan.

The autobiography of Scamp, a dog of the streets, who finds a good
home and a loving mistress and is trained into a first-class
retriever. He is caught in a trap while hunting, comes into the hands
of poachers and counterfeiters, sojourns in the London streets and the
dog pound, and eventually finds his way back to his former mistress to
end his days in luxury.

Not only Jane Austen herself but the society that she drew so
skillfully is pictured in this volume. Miss Mitton considers Jane
Austen “more wonderful as a product of her times than considered as an
isolated figure.” She has therefore aimed “to sketch the men and women
to whom she was accustomed, the habits and manners of her class, and
the England with which she was familiar.”

praise (except what is due to the reproductions from Reynolds,

blame, to the author.”

This sketch which gives the life of an educator just at the turning
point in educational history between the mediæval and the modern, is
important because “The autobiography furnishes such concrete
information in regard to two phases of the education of the sixteenth
century: first, the life of the wandering scholar; and, second, the
spread of the humanistic ideas until they dominate the educational
activities of the times.”

Miss Kate is a small chestnut mare, I am Miss Dorothy, and the poet is
David Selwyn, successful and thirty-two, whom his doctor has given but
twelve months more of life. He determines to spend that twelve months
bravely, and rents a house in the Alleghanies so that he may “write,
write, write until the finale,” unhampered by his old New York
surroundings. Here he meets Dorothy and enjoys his last summer until
he finds that his growing love for her makes the thought of death more
bitter; then he runs away. But of course the author does not let him
die, and the reader feels thruout the pretty, cheery little story that
all is to be well with him.

An original study rather than a conventional biography. The artist’s

his life are given. The book is illustrated with half-tones and four
copper-plates.

“A very stimulating essay, with sufficient fact, date, and specific
criticism attached, as is helpful to that study, but no more. As an

replace that as an admirable and business-like summary of the artist’s
