“The fullest and most valuable part of the book is that dealing with
the four great acquisitions of Louisiana, Florida, New Mexico, and
California. The treatment of military rule in other annexed
territories ... is much briefer and on the whole less satisfactory.
There is probably nowhere in print a better summary of military
government in the Philippines and Porto Rico than that given us by Dr.
Thomas. The work throughout is based on the best of documentary
materials, and these are referred to in the foot-notes with a fair
degree of frequency. The index to the work is rather inadequate.”

Miss Thomas is most felicitous on her own ground, spending her

This work was well under way at the time of Mr. Thomas’ death January
4, 1905. Volume I., entitled “Life work,” tells in the great
orchestral leader’s own words of his life, his back-sets, his
determined struggles “to make good music popular,” and his final
success. Mr. Upton, his friend for thirty years, adds a chapter upon
“Last days of Theodore Thomas,” and there is further reminiscence and
appreciation. Volume II., “Concert programmes” has an introduction by
Mr. Thomas and contains selected programmes covering fifty years,
beginning with the Mason chamber concerts and ending with the concerts
of the Chicago orchestra. Both volumes are illustrated with portraits
and views.

Newfoundland, find a steamer abandoned and adrift and set out to
rescue her passengers and crew. They pass thru many thrilling
adventures on the coast of Greenland and Labrador in which icebergs,

retribution in the visitation of her weakness upon her child. It is a
negative lesson of psychological import.

pretend to tell what really happened during that delightful comedy
wherein the crown prince of Germany gave his grandmother Victoria’s

France came to his end, and how the present great war between Japan

suggestions for selecting or adapting a site, and for laying out

scheme.... The last four chapters are devoted to perennials, aquatic
plants, trees, shrubs, and hardy climbers, and include some suggestive

student to go through this book as it is written, and not to carry
away an absolutely firsthand acquaintance with the workings of the
human mind, and with the realities as distinguished from the
pedantries and artificialities of psychology.” Intense concreteness is
the watchword thruout the discussion, which falls into three parts;
Descriptive psychology, The psychological basis of mental life:
physiological psychology, and Dynamic psychology.

“Brings as its distinctive contribution the emphasis upon the
practical reaction which the student is induced to make to the
principles set before him. The excellence and completeness of the
chapters on the nervous system deserve special commendation.”

doing statistical work of the sort required in laboratories of
experimental psychology.... It begins simply, and by affording
abundant material for the student to practice what the text preaches
gradually develops in his capacity to master the more difficult later
chapters. The writer makes a point of keeping within the comprehension
of young students.... The topics to which most attention is given are
the choice of units of measurement; the measurement of individuals, of
groups, of differences, of changes, and of relationships; and the
reliability of measurements and sources of error. Strong emphasis is
laid upon tables of frequency.... The last chapter contains references
for further study, and the appendix a multiplication table up to
100x100, a table of square roots up to 1,000, and a collection of
miscellaneous problems for additional practice.”—Am. J. Soc.

A romance which deals with the early days when oil was discovered in
Pennsylvania. It follows the fortunes of a farmer in whom the divining
rod which points out his first well awakens a thirst for the wealth to
be gained by developing his own land. His daughter is the center of
the love motive, but the strength of the story lies in the oil, the
crowding out of the small producers by the large, the uncovering of
unscrupulous methods, the mad desire for more land, more wells at any
price.

A brief “history of the state and federal constitutions, their
origins, principles, evolution, and the interpretation of them by the
courts.... As an appendix, the constitution of the United States, with
citation of cases, is printed. There is a special index to the
constitution, giving article, section, and page, as well as a general
index to the work at large.... After a rapid survey of the early
colonial unions and congresses, and of the Articles of confederation
and their defects, there is a short chapter on the making of the
constitution, followed by an analysis of The Federalist to show what
were and are the fundamental principles of the constitution.”—N. Y.
Times.

“The style is not attractive, though not often very bad; the
arrangement is unsatisfactory, and the general method of presentation
is not telling; the author’s conception of his subject, as in his
early volumes on constitutional history, is limited. These faults
might be passed over without too serious consideration if the book

=Thurston, Katherine Cecil.= Masquerader. $1.50. Harper.

The chance meeting in a London fog, of a wealthy member of parliament,
who is an opium eater, and a young writer in reduced circumstances,
reveals the fact to each that he has a double. This strange revelation
is seized upon by the former as a means of providing himself with a
political substitute when the craving for the drug is upon him. They
change places temporarily with the result that the masquerader wins
political distinction and the affections of his double’s alienated
wife, who fancies that she has fallen in love with her husband. In the
end the drug does its work and the masquerader is made to see that his
duty lies in quietly continuing the deception.

“The development of Loder’s character is so well shown and the

impossibility which militates very strongly against the artistic

artificial.”

deluded and beguiled.”

=Thwaites, Reuben Gold=, ed. Early western travels, 1748-1846: a series of annotated reprints of some of the best and rarest contemporary volumes of travel, descriptive of the aborigines and social and economic conditions in the middle and far West, during the period of early American settlement. 31v. ea. *$4. Clark, A. H.

Thirty-one volumes containing accurate reprints of rare manuscripts.
They have been carefully chosen from the mass of material descriptive
of travels in the North American interior which this century of
continental expansion (1748-1846) provided, and no manuscript has been
included unless it possessed permanent historical value. The result is
a series which the casual reader will find interesting, and the
historian, teacher and scholar, will find invaluable, as it makes
available sources of information without which the development of the
West, its history and its people cannot be fully understood. The
editor has provided numerous footnotes and an introduction to each
volume which contains a biographical sketch of the author, an
evaluation of the book reprinted and bibliographical data concerning
it. The closing volume is devoted to a complete and exhaustive
analytical index to the entire series.

the villainy of a country editor whose vicious attacks and
blackmailing schemes all but wreck the happiness of a town. The “man
from the Red Keg” is one of the many whose reputations have been
hammered and slashed by the odious editor of “Chips,” but who
determinedly resolves to reform his enemy. He works out his
metaphysical problem patiently disregarding the call of his fellow
townsmen to deal with the offender summarily, bides his time, and wins
his reward.

or historical, accessible to the contemporary student.” (N. Y. Times).
There are chapters on Rabelais, Ronsard, and Montaigne.

“Mr. Tilley’s contribution to the history of the movement is one which

=Trevelyan, George Macaulay.= England under the Stuarts. *$3. Putnam.

This fifth volume of a series of six, covering the history of England
from earliest times down to 1875, is the first to be issued. It is
written by the grand-nephew of Lord Macaulay, whose influence is
noticeable thruout the work. The first two chapters give an account of
England at the time of the accession of James I. “He develops at the
outset the thesis on which his entire monograph rests—that the
significance of the Stuart epoch lies in the fact that whereas the
continental people of Europe attained nationality only through
military despotism, the English people under the Stuarts solved the
same problem unconsciously through a free constitution, manifesting
and vindicating itself in the face of monarchial despotism.... His
personal portraits are marked by fairness and breadth of view, this
being notably the case with the pictures of the first James, the
second Charles, Cecil, Laud, Strafford, and Pym. The first Charles and
Cromwell are limned less distinctly, being thrust, as it were, into
the background of the tremendous upheavals of their day.” (Outlook).
“The general purpose of the book is to bring the social and religious
aspects into connection with the political.” (Bookm.)

“He has given us not so much a history, in the ordinary sense of the
word, as a sustained, and luminous commentary upon history, high-toned
and impartial; and the general excellence of its purely literary
qualities is, so to speak, picked out by not infrequent passages of
real and picturesque eloquence. It is a fine example of selection and
condensation.”
