  Mr. Thorne’s preface states: “‘Protestantism’ within the church is a
  lost cause, it is dying, and for just this reason the clamor is
  loudest, the misrepresentation more furious and envenomed.... The
  author ... attacks those of the extreme ‘Protestants’ whom he believes
  to be insincere and who rebel against the truth for their own ends....
  Finally, the noisiest ‘Protestants’ are hitting the Church as hard as
  they can. The author has endeavored to hit back as hard as he can.”
  The book treats this theme with dramatic intensity.

  “Mr. Guy Thorne is not very skilful at handling even the small craft
  he has set sail in. His devices are of the easy and conventional order
  and his people lack vitality and breadth of human souls. His book is
  not one to be regarded except as a warning and example of the
  sacrifice of literature to opinion.”

†$1.50. Jacobs.

  How Charles Bosanquet, minister of industrial affairs, framed a
  measure which settled for a time the problem of the great army of the
  unemployable in London, and what came of it, is the burden of this
  story. First the starving masses are drawn, hideous, menacing,
  parasites upon the working poor; then comes the minister’s solution;
  those whom the courts deem unfit for society are to be made slaves for
  life. This is the beginning of that awful thing, the slave colony in
  the Cornish hinterland at which the Christian world stood aghast. Thru
  all this a love story is developed. Bosanquet and his old friend, John
  Hazel, now his political opponent, both love Muriel, an active worker
  in the anti-slavery league. And then the day comes when the slaves
  break loose!

  education, from 1596 to 1612; his ‘Wanderjahre,’ from 1612 to 1628,
  spent in seeing the world, in travel and warfare, and, finally, what
  may be called his constructive period, ‘after his warfare was over,
  and this dates from 1628 to 1650.’... In tracing his experience in
  each of the periods Miss Haldane gives much and very intelligent
  attention to the environment, historical and personal, in which it was
  passed; and this has the merit not only of bringing out more
  distinctly the true picture of Descartes, but of rendering the general
  reader, for whom obviously the work is done, more at home with the
  man, since he is realized in his surroundings.”—N. Y. Times.

  “If Miss Haldane’s ‘Life of Descartes’ smacks rather of a description

  Of Napoleon as a student of eighteenth century history, the compiler
  says: “Napoleon’s almost invariably right judgment seems marvelous,
  and his verdicts, generally the very opposite of those of his author,
  who kept to the orthodox ruts of eighteenth century opinion, are those
  of a hundred years later.” Further Mr. Hall discusses the “note

  American people at large. Part 1, Immigration and emigration, presents
  the history, causes and conditions of immigration; Part 2, discusses

Scribner.

  “There are few more striking figures in European history than Isabel,
  the Catholic, Queen of Spain.... The subject of the book is wide. It
  is by no means a study of the Queen’s life alone, but a good swift,
  picturesque sketch of the history of Spain, beginning with the
  conquest of the Moors in A. D. 711, and going on to the gradual
  recovery of power and territory by the Christian Goths who fled before
  them to the mountains of Asturias. Then comes the rise of the
  Christian kingdoms ... then the fusion of these, after much fighting
  and confusion and many romantic episodes, including the immortal story
  of the Cid, into the two kingdoms of Castile and Leon and Aragon and
  Catalonia.”—Spec.

  “The book adds little to our knowledge; at its best, it summarizes the
  chapters in some unrevised edition of Prescott’s work, and it is
  disfigured by interpolated errors which could never have been made by
  any one acquainted with Spanish. Decidedly this is a book not to be

=Harker, Mrs. Lizzie Allen.= Concerning Paul and Fiammetta; with an
introd. by Kate Douglas Wiggin. †$1.25. Scribner.

  While in England a year ago, Kate Douglas Wiggin discovered in the
  children of Mrs. Harker’s “A romance of the nursery” such delightful
  little people that she asked for the privilege of introducing to her
  own American readers Mrs. Harker’s next story. And so Paul and
  Fiammetta have come to take their place beside Rebecca, Timothy and
  Polly Oliver. “‘Fee’ is a travelled, hotel-bred child, who had learned
  experience without losing her good manners.” (Lond. Times.) Paul has a
  mania for reading, and is devoted to dogs no less than to his friend
  Tonks.

  “The story has many appealing qualities,—its gayety, sympathy, humour,
  and lifelikeness; and perhaps to American readers one of its chiefest
  charms will be that it is so thoroughly English,—as English as a
  hedge-rose or a bit of pink hawthorne,—yet, with all its local colour,
  sounding the human and universal note.” Kate Douglas Wiggin.

=Hart, Albert Bushnell=, ed. American nation: a history from original
sources by associated scholars. 28v. per. v. *$2. Harper.

  Group II of this series of histories, volumes 6–10, is devoted to the
  “Transformation into a nation,” including Provincial America, by
  Evarts Boutell Greene; France in America, by Reuben Gold Thwaites;
  Preliminaries of the Revolution, by George Elliott Howard; The
  American Revolution, by Claude Halstead Van Tyne; and The
  confederation and the constitution, by Andrew Cunningham McLaughlin.
  The first volume of Group III, which division includes volumes 11–15
  and treats the “Development of the nation,” is a discussion of The
  federalist system, by John Spencer Bassett. The author says, “On its
  political side this volume treats of three principal facts; the
  successful establishment of the government under the constitution, the
  organization of the Republican party on the basis of popular
  government, and the steady adherence of the government to a policy of
  neutrality at a time when we were threatened with serious foreign
  complications.” The author follows the program of establishing an
  effective government while the nation faced a new constitution and
  trying international situations.

  Number twelve in this “American nation” series is a discussion of “The
  Jeffersonian system” by Edward Channing. It “emphasizes the innate
  tendency to expansion of territory, of which Louisiana, West Florida,
  and Oregon were all examples. The special and successful purpose of
  the author is to make clear how it was possible for the nation to
  expand in territory and in spirit, and for the federal government to
  gain consequence and authority, while at the same time the government
  was growing more democratic: it is a study in imperial democracy.”

  Number fourteen in this series is the “Rise of the new West” by
  Frederick Jackson Turner of the University of Wisconsin. “Professor
  Turner takes up the west as an integral part of the Union, with a
  self-consciousness as lively as that of the east or south, with its
  own aims and prejudices, but as a partner in the councils and the
  benefits of the national government which, as a whole, it is the aim
  at this volume to describe.” The period covered is that from 1815 to
  1830. The panic of 1819, the Missouri compromise, The Monroe doctrine
  in particular and the tariff disputes, internal improvements and
  foreign trade relations in general are fully treated.

  The fifteenth volume of “The American nation” series is Dr. William
  McDonald’s discussion of “Jacksonian democracy.” The aggressive
  personality of Andrew Jackson is made to dominate the solution of the
  great questions of national policy paramount during the years 1829–37.
  The study reveals the president and man, and shows the evolution of
  the political principles upon which a new democratic party was
  founded.

  In volume seventeen the expansion movement which extended the
  boundaries of the United States from the western edge of the Louisiana
  purchase to the Pacific ocean, is described “in such a way as to
  indicate the real forces which gave it impulse, and how they actually
  worked, and especially to show how it was affected by, and how it
  reacted upon, the contemporaneous sectionalizing movement which
  finally ended in civil war.”

  In volume 18 of “The American nation” Dr. Smith has covered the
  subject of “Parties and slavery from 1850 to 1859,” that transition
  period, which saw old party organization dissolve and new ones
  crystalize. The aim of the volume is “to bring out the contrast
  between the old parties and their aims and the new and imperious
  issues.” The efforts to prevent the crisis which resulted in the Civil
  war, and the rival habits of thought which made it inevitable are
  clearly shown, the effects of the struggle upon parties, legislation
  and the courts as well as the social and economic changes brought
  about by railroad development and the growth of cotton are carefully
  detailed.

  “The first part of volume nineteen in the “American nation” series
  discusses political divergences in the light of sectional rivalry and
  mutual dislike revealed by the election of Lincoln to the presidency.
  The author presents the full significance of the John Brown raid,
  pictures the attitude of Buchanan and his unsuccessful attempts at
  compromise. discusses the status of the federal forts, pays tribute to
  the high minded attitude of Lincoln and closes with the fall of
  Sumter.”

  “In scholarship and construction he has produced the best synopsis of
  the subject existing within the limits of a single volume, and ... his

=Hawkes, Clarence.= Shaggycoat; the biography of a beaver; il. by

  Shaggycoat easily wins and holds every nature student’s attention. He
  is a member of a fast vanishing animal family, but sturdily upholds
  the traditions of his four-footed antecedents. The book reveals the
  habits, haunts and occupations of the beaver, shows how his nomadic
  habit leads him close to his enemies at times, and gives now and then
  a bit of primitive superstition which even greedy trappers heed.

  “Mr. Hawkes gives this important animal biography in a simple,
  straightforward way, and earns our gratitude by leaving it with a
  happy ending in spite of the fact that the beaver tribe is being
  ruthlessly wiped out.” May Estelle Cook.

  Sophy, an English girl of much spirit and no money goes to Kravonia to

  prince who falls in love with her. The revolution which follows, the
  struggle between the supporters of her prince and those of his
  half-brother, and the part which Sophy, with the red star burning on
  her cheek, took in it all is stirring reading. Altho, by another
  chance of fate, she loses all she has gained, she carries with her
  from Kravonia a lasting memory of some enemies and many friends, of
  strife and conflict, of a crown won only to be lost, and of a great
  undying love.

  “To be quite frank and explicit, this kingdom of Kravonia is one of
  the dullest realms in which it has been our ill-fortune to wander.”

  With a background of war between the French and Dutch of Von

  Matthieu de Châtelfors and Huette de Richecour are betrothed at birth.
  Huette develops into a plain, passionate, rather shrewish young woman
  whom Matthieu delays marrying on one pretext and another. She is too
  proud to insist and time drags on. With a promise to marry her on his
  return, he leaves for the battle-field. There follows a romantic
  meeting with a pretty peasant girl whose refusal of Matthieu’s love
  arouses his determination to wed her. The curtain rings down on the
  death of the one and the repulse of the other at Châtelfors.

=Hay, Marie.= German pompadour; being the true history of Wilhelmine von
Gravenitz, landhofmeisterin of Wirtemberg: a veracious narrative of the
eighteenth century, gleaned from old documents. *$3.50. Scribner.

  “Wilhelmine von Gravenitz was one of the most fascinating women of the
  eighteenth century. More passionate, and vastly more intelligent than
  La Pompadour, her French rival in intrigue and gallantry, she was a
  nobler type of woman, for she was really in love with Eberhard Ludwig,
  the reigning Duke of Wirtemburg, and though she played his dull and
  colorless wife many a cruel trick, and even attempted to assassinate
  her, our sympathies in spite of ourselves are stirred rather in the
  favour of the brilliant mistress than of the highly respectable but
  phlegmatic wife. To depict the life of a woman of this class in a
  lengthy narrative, without making her offensive, demands unusual
  insight into human nature.”—Sat. R.

  “Her compromise between history and fiction is maintained throughout;
  she is always guiding herself by authentic facts, and her emotions are
  regulated by the documents at her side. And here lies the defect of
  the system. She cannot give her imagination free rein, and yet she may
  indulge it to such an extent that the reader does not know when he is
  reading history and when he is reading fiction. The ordinary reader
  will question whether the record of Wilhelmine might not give off a
  more pungent odour to other nostrils; and still more will he doubt
  whether this vagrant air is potent enough to steep three hundred and
  fifty odd pages with its fragrance. A magazine article or a sonnet
  were the proper vessel for such sweetness.”

  place the election of senators in the hands of the state legislature;
  the form and spirit of the elections thus made, and the causes which
  have led to the recent and pressing demand for popular control over
  the choice of senators. It attempts also to forecast in some degree
  the probable effectiveness of such popular control, whether exercised
  under a loose construction of the present law, or in accordance with a
  constitutional amendment making possible the election of senators by
  direct popular vote.” Following the eleven chapters into which this
  subject has been divided are the resolutions favoring popular election
  of senators passed by the House of representatives, Recommendations of

  account of the several mad undertakings, each of which proved a dismal
  failure but undoubtedly caused much concern and embarrassment to the
  federal and State authorities. Captain Headley enlisted in the
  Confederate army early in the war, and prior to his Canadian mission

=Henderson, Ernest Flagg.= Short history of Germany; new ed. [2v. in 1.]
*$2.50. Macmillan.

  The two volumes of Mr. Henderson’s history which appeared four years
  ago have been combined in one volume for the present edition. “The
  author assumes, as his starting-point, the preëminence of Germany as
  the guiding thread to lead the student through the intricacies of
  general European history. All the great international struggles, he
  points out, have been fought out on German soil, from the Thirty
  years’ war to the great struggle against Napoleon. The two great
  ever-present factors of the entire medieval period—the Papacy and the
  Empire—fought out their differences on German soil and through German
  personages.... This volume, which is excellently printed and provided
  with indexes and notes, is also supplied with several maps and
  bibliographical lists.” (R. of Rs.)

  “Mr. Henderson’s book is not exhaustive. Full information on the

=Henderson, M. Sturge.= Constable. *$2. Scribner.

  A late addition to the “Library of art.” The volume furnishes a short,
  condensed life of the English landscape painter, “who, by virtue of a
  naturalism that was unique in two respects—his ‘fearless adoption of
  “unpicturesque” localities as subjects for his pictures, and his
  practice of using fresh, bright color’—pointed out to his successors
  ‘the way to a new kingdom.’” (Ind.) Much of the material has been
  drawn from C. R. Leslie’s “Life.” There are 38 half-tone reproductions
  from the artist’s paintings, sketches and studies.

  “The author not only indulges in restrained criticism, but presents
  the actions and interests of the artist in a vivid and chronological
  manner.”

      + =Critic.= 48: 89. Ja. ’06. 60w.

  “The beautiful simplicity of Constable’s life and art are admirably

=Henderson, Mary Foote.= Aristocracy of health. $1.50. Harper.

  The author outlines the path royal for the would-be health
  aristocrat,—the being who achieves strength, self-reliance, success,
  influence long life, and happiness. The way lies close to physical
  culture, abstinence from poisons, and dietetic care. The author views
  the subject of human degeneracy from the standpoint of different
  countries, and so leads up to her suggestion that a national and
  international league be formed for the advancement of physical
  culture.

  “Laborious and enthusiastic volume.”

  “The material is thrown into popular form and although it could easily
  be reduced in bulk, the book is readable. As an argument against the
  use of stimulants, it carries weight; as a general philosophy of
  living it has its limitations.”

=Henderson, T. F.= Mary, Queen of Scots: her environment and tragedy.
*$6 Scribner.

  A biography satisfactory for students because of its wealth of

  ... is good and true to nature for the period in which she can be
  observed in freedom, while she displayed to the world her great and
  royal heart, facing her enemies in the field of battle, meeting
  diplomatists in the council chamber, and discharging with grace and
