Chapter IV: Part 4

With the completion of _The Bibelot_ in 20 volumes and an
exhaustive General Index the work as I believe will be subscribed
by an appreciative public, without whose constant encouragement I
could never have gone on and brought to its conclusion this
"Reprint of Poetry and Prose for Book Lovers, chosen in part from
scarce editions and sources not generally known."

_Descriptive list and special terms on request._

Thomas B. Mosher
Portland, Maine

In the Greek language strong affection can be expressed in over
1600 different ways.

_The CAROLA INNER-PLAYER_

expresses it in all languages, especially in the language of the
Home. It is a particularly appropriate expression if there be
children in that home, to whom the Player will open up the entire
range of music.

The
Glebe
Monthly

A New Book of Permanent Literary Value

The GLEBE publishes twelve or more complete books a year. It is
an attempt on the part of the editors and publishers to issue
books entirely on their own merit and regardless of their chance
for popular sale. Once a month--and occasionally more
frequently--the GLEBE brings out the complete works of one
individual arranged in book form and free from editorials and
other extraneous matter.

Prominent among numbers for the year 1914 are _Des Imagistes_, an
anthology of the Imagists' movement in England, including
_Pound_, _Hueffer_, _Aldington_, _Flint_ _and others_; essays by
ELLEN KEY; a play by FRANK WEDEKIND; collects and prose pieces by
HORACE TRAUBEL; and THE DOINA, translations by MAURICE AISEN of
Roumanian folk-songs. The main purpose of the GLEBE is to bring
to light the really fine work of unknown men. These will appear
throughout the year.

Chants Communal

BY HORACE TRAUBEL

_Boards $1.00 net; $1.10 postpaid._

Inspirational prose pieces fired by revolutionary idealism and
prophetically subtle in their vision. The high esteem in which
Traubel's work is held is attested by the following unusual
commendations:

Jack London: "His is the vision of the poet and the voice of the
poet."

Clarence Darrow: "Horace Traubel is both a poet and a
philosopher. No one can say anything too good about him or his
work."

George D. Herron: "It is a book of the highest value and beauty
that Horace Traubel proposes to give us, and I can only hope that
it will be read as widely and appreciatively as it more than
deserves to be; for it is with a joy that would seem extravagant,
if I expressed it, that I welcome 'Chants Communal.'"

Not Guilty _A Defence of the Bottom Dog_

BY ROBERT BLATCHFORD

_Cloth 50c. Paper 25c._

A humanitarian plea, unequalled in lucidity and incontrovertible
in its logic.

Our Irrational Distribution of Wealth

BY BYRON C. MATHEWS

_Cloth $1.00 net._

The author undertakes to show that the agencies which are used in
distributing the products of industry and are responsible for the
extremes in the social scale have never been adopted by any
rational action, but have come to be through fortuitous
circumstances and are without moral basis. The wage system, as a
means of distribution, is utterly inadequate to measure the
workers' share. The source of permanent improvement is found in
social ownership, which transfers the power over distribution
from the hands of those individuals who now own the instruments
of production to the hands of the people.

Nancy the Joyous

By Edith Stow

Her romance shattered by her own hand, Nancy creeps away into
secluded Swaggerty Cove. There, among the child-hearted
mountaineers, where externals count for nothing, she tries to
fashion a new life. She finds a bigness where she expected
barrenness; she learns that being is more than having. And then,
when life has grown fuller and richer, when contact with other
aches has soothed her own--why, then in a very satisfying way
Nancy's heart comes into its own.

The heart interest is genuine; the story is natural and sincere.
Its optimism, its winsome simplicity, its intrinsic merit will
win the love of readers. We have great faith in Nancy the Joyous.

The New Mr. Howerson

By Opie Read

A significant figure in American letters is Opie Read--the "Dean
of American Humorists," whose "Starbucks," "The Jucklins," etc.,
hold an enviable place in the affections of readers. The New Mr.
Howerson will gain him new friends and confirm the old ones. It
has all his mastery of style, his mellow humor, his rich
philosophy, his fertile imagination. It is Opie Read at his
mature best, revealing a personality and a power that makes his
new book a masterly piece of writing.

It is the story of a big man and a little boy, of a rich man and
a poor failure, of a lovely woman and a miserable rebel against
society--it is life, recorded by a humorous observer whose
analysis is all the keener for its kindliness.

Tik-Tok of Oz

By L. Frank Baum

the new Oz Book, Tik-Tok of Oz, carries out the Oz

half-dozen delightfully new ones are there to take the hearts of
the children by storm. The success of the Oz Books has been
phenomenal--the new one makes the reason clear.
