The relations of labor and capital form the basis of this story in

cannot marry the Italian prince and fortune-hunter because the

their sole possessions, bravely continue the business of their father,
and give little performances in one little provincial town after
another to earn a scant living. They meet with many adventures and
suffer many hardships, but in the end the happiness of all seems

The story of a family in southern Illinois which had remained true to
the Union, but was southern in all its traditions. The heroine has to
contend against the whole connection and their prejudices in order to
marry a young Republican lawyer. Her grandfather, Major Elias, head of
the family, his quiet wife, and their lazy son are lifelike, their
southern ways are well pictured; and descriptions of such things as a
chase with blood hounds after a negro house-breaker, a negro barn
dance, and an electioneering expedition with Chicago politicians, add
greatly to the interest and the atmosphere of the book.

“A careful picture of average life in a small town in southern
Illinois, drawn with a loving accuracy of minor detail, and pleasantly

A little volume of verse which sings of old-fashioned gardens and

spinet. There is a time-long-ago atmosphere to many of the poems.

=Peck, Harry Thurston.= William Hickling Prescott. **75c. Macmillan.

This study of Prescott gives an account of the historian’s life and
personality and a criticism of his works. An opening chapter treats of
“The New England historians,” then follow biographical chapters based
largely upon the letters and memoranda contained in Ticknor’s “Life of
Prescott,” and a discussion of Prescott’s work and its merits.

=Peck, Theodora.= Hester of the Grants: a romance of Old Bennington. †$1.50. Fox.

Revolutionary times in the Green mountain state when it was a part of
the so-called Hampshire Grants furnish the setting of this story whose
incidents center mainly about Bennington. A real flesh and blood girl
patriot, quite as daring as the usual historical novel heroine but a
bit more winsome is the leading spirit, while a turn coat father, two
despicable soldier lovers and one gallant one, General Stark, and
Ethan and Ira Allen figure prominently.

Mr. Peckham and his wife have made a close study of the lives, habits,

=Peel, George.= Friends of England. *$3.50. Dutton.

Mr. Peel establishes, elucidates, and illustrates two large
propositions in this companion volume to his “Enemies of England”:
first, that England built up her empire beyond the seas thru the
necessity of defence, and not by accident nor by deliberate motives of
expansion; second, the same European pressure from without is the
chief cause of the maintenance of the empire.

“Mr. Peel is no pedant, no formalist, no Dryasdust. Intensely
interested in his subject, he writes of it with animation; eager to
convince, though not with the sophist’s eagerness, he is precise
whether right or wrong and at all times clear.”

=Pemberton, Max.= Hundred days. †$1.50. Appleton.

Napoleon’s hundred days between Elba and Waterloo form the setting of
this historical novel which exploits the adventures of a young
Englishman and a French maid in the secret service of Napoleon. “Mr.
Pemberton has borrowed the very lady who appears in Mr. Bernard Shaw’s
‘Man of destiny’—Mr. Shaw himself borrowed the lady from more or less
authentic history—and provided her with adventures enough to fill the
usual number of pages which, outwardly, at least, constitute a novel.”

=Pepys, Sir William Weller.= Later Pepys; ed. with introd., by Alice C. C. Gaussen. 2v. *$7.50. Lane.

“The letters included in these two handsomely bound and finely
illustrated volumes have been selected from the correspondence of Sir
William Pepys between the years 1758 and 1825. Sir William Pepys was a
descendant of the elder branch of the family to which Samuel Pepys
belonged, and was generally well-known in the latter part of the
eighteenth century as a friend, and in some cases the intimate, of
distinguished literary characters of the period. His letters are
therefore primarily of literary interest, very little reference being
made in them to ordinary political or social conditions of the times,
even the stirring events of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wars
receiving but scant notice.”—Am. Hist. R.

“The only direct historical interest is in the occasional references
to contemporary historical writers and criticisms upon them. They
frequently do present some striking incident, or some intimate
characterization of figures in the field of contemporaneous
literature. In this connection alone are they valuable for the student
of history.” E. D. Adams.

+ =Am. Hist. R.= 10: 688. Ap. ‘05. 210w.

=Perkin, Frederick Mollwo.= Practical methods of electrochemistry. *$1.60. Longmans.

“After a general account of electrical magnitudes and units, measuring
instruments, and electrolytic apparatus, the author gives practical
instructions for electrochemical analysis.... The last and longest
section of the book deals with preparative electrochemistry.... The
references to original papers are numerous, and a convenient table of
five-figure logarithms, with instructions for its use, is contained in
an appendix.”—Nature.

“The practical instructions are on the whole adequate and accurate, so
that the student could acquire with little assistance a sufficient
acquaintance with the working methods of electrochemistry. Whilst the
book is satisfactory in this the most important feature, it shows in
other respects many signs of hasty composition, which greatly detract
from its value.”

=Perrin, Raymond St. James.= Evolution of knowledge. *$1.50. Baker.

In his review of philosophy the author compares the chief systems of
ancient and modern thought, “the object being to measure the approach
of each system to the goal of philosophy which is the demonstration of
the unity of all things ... to demonstrate the fact that knowledge can
be unified by co-ordinating the sciences.” Pt. I. deals with the
pre-evolution period of Greece, England, Scotland, Germany and France;
pt. II. discusses the evolutionary philosophy of Spencer and Lewes.
The keynote of the treatment is that religious devotion and
intelligence must develop together.

“Mr. Perris’s volume on ‘Russia in revolution’ is a sketch of the
Russian revolutionary movement from about 1870 down to the present
time. It consists chiefly of a series of short biographies of the
principal leaders of the Liberal movement, together with a few
chapters on the Russian government, and on the financial and economic
conditions of the country.... The subject, however, is an interesting
one, and the personal sketches and life stories of Stepniak,
Volkhovsky, Dr. Soskice, Mark Broido, Mme. Kovalsky, and numbers of
other revolutionists, often recounted in their own words, are
significant and thrilling.”—Lond. Times.

“Is lively and interesting, but somewhat open to the charge that he
fails to name a good many of his sources and some of his equally
interesting rivals. Mr. Perris takes pains and knows his subject.”

+ + — =Ath.= 1905, 1: 590. My. 13. 180w.

“It cannot be said that the author has anything very new to tell us,
and most of his information has been obtained at second-hand. He sees
Russia only from the point of view of the extremists.”

— + =Lond. Times.= 4: 176. Je. 9, ‘05. 520w.

“These quotations will serve to show M. Perris’s sincere effort to be
fair and impartial, but the same paragraph furnishes two other
quotations which equally well illustrate his defective vision in
consequence of his prejudice against nearly everything in Russia in
its present form.”

“The chief value of this book, however, lies in the personal (and
frequently pitiful) records and brief autobiographies of the martyrs
in the cause of Russian political liberty, and also in the
miscellaneous data on topics which are not contained in Russian
government reports.” Wolf von Schierbrand.

+ + — =N. Y. Times.= 10: 386. Je. 17, ‘05. 940w.

are untenable, the chapters touching upon the economic and political
condition of the country are not without value and interest.”

“In arrangement it is not free from defects, particularly from a
tendency to retraverse the same or similar ground; but this drawback

on the attention of his readers,—his extensive and intimate

Six essays in which the author commends “combining the professional’s

“There is a flavour of this conscious condescension in these essays,
and it takes away from the charm which they possess in spite of it,
charm both of phrase and anecdote. The ideas are not very subtle; nor
have they any marked freshness; but to the main idea we heartily
respond. Mr. Perry is not precise enough; he does not know that
different things in life should be approached in a different spirit.”

=Peters, John Punnett.= Early Hebrew story: its historical background. **$1.25. Putnam.

“The substance of the book was delivered as lectures on the Bond
foundation at Bangor theological seminary in November, 1903.... In
chap. 1, ‘Introductory: literary and archæological,’ the author gives
a simple, yet clear, sketch of his conception of the literary origin
of the early books of the Bible, and a general view of the history of
Palestine before the Israelitish occupation.... In chap. 2, ‘The
formation of Israel: The origin of the twelve tribes,’ the view that a
group of Aramean tribes settled among and absorbed tribes already
resident in Canaan is worked out with considerable detail. In chap. 3,
‘The patriarchs and the shrines of Israel,’ it is pointed out that the
stories of the patriarchs cluster about certain shrines.... In chap.
4, ‘Survivals—legendary and mythical.’ Dr. Peters gathers together a
considerable residuum of material, which remains after one has
subtracted from the patriarchal stories the elements representing
tribal movements and sanctuary traditions, and in which survivals of
myths or legends are probably to be found. Chap. 5, ‘Cosmogony and
primeval history,’ deals with Gen., chaps. 1-11, which is analyzed
into its various elements.... Chap. 6, ‘The moral value of early
Hebrew story,’ forms a fitting climax to the whole.”—Bib. World.

“The book is written for the ordinary reader of the Bible, is
unencumbered by erudite notes, is written in a clear and attractive
style, and can be strongly recommended to the untechnical reader, who
desires to learn how critical study affects the early books of the
Bible. The book throughout bears evidence of wide reading. The marvel
is that in such a work, where evidence is often scanty and much has to
be supplied from analogies often remote, one finds so little from
which to dissent. The work merits high praise and deserves a wide
recognition.” George A. Barton.

The author has prepared this volume for popular use and states in his
preface: “It is a book of facts rather than opinions.... The book is
written with the hope that it may modify the views which the Gentile
world holds with regard to the position of the Jew, and the author’s
fervent prayer is that its facts may lead Christians to grant to the
possession of the Jew the mental, moral, social and spiritual
qualifications which history affirms.” To this end he has set forth
facts culled from various sources showing the part which the Jew
played in the discovery of America, in pre-revolutionary settlements,
in the wars of the republic, American politics, finance, arts and
sciences. There are also chapters upon The number of Jews in the
United States, Characteristics of the Jews, and Anti-Semitism in
America. The volume is illustrated with photographs of Jews prominent
in various professions.

nations, Dr. Peters emphasizes the serious side of matrimony, gives
good advice to both husband and wife, and discusses education,
deplores modern extravagance, and makes many suggestions, which, if

both the married and the unmarried.

“This is not a work on manners and customs or religion, but is purely
history, very largely original and representing the author’s own
researches and conclusions.... The period covered in this volume
extends from the beginning of the nineteenth dynasty, about 1300 B.
C., the most brilliant period in Egyptian history, to 342 B. C., when
the last native king of the thirtieth dynasty lost the throne, and the
rule passed over to the Persian Ochus. This period is illustrated by
161 pictures of monuments, mainly halftones, with all the known
cartouches.... When we remember that the period treated covers the
entire relation of Israel to Egypt, from Abraham to Jeremiah, the
value of the volume to biblical students is obvious.”—Ind.
