ner of referring to Longfellow as "Henry."

Mr. Seitz's "Horace Greeley" is another book which deserves far more attention than it can receive here. As a book about an American figure of importance and of curious interest, it should be described in a page or two, by a more competent reviewer, and some of its amusing illustrations ought to be reproduced. But Mr. Seitz suffers from the disability of being an editor of The Outlook, and therefore debarred by rule from receiving a long review for his book in its pages. Another editor of this journal has also been writing a book, and it would not do to make him jealous. The opening chapter of "Horace Greeley," even to go no farther than that, seems to me a model for biographers. It is a vivid portrait of the man himself, his strength, weakness, and peculiarities, and leaves the reader eager for the narrative which follows.

Mr. Jerome K. Jerome is an example of the humorist who turns serious in his later days-or, to speak more accurately, who has always been serious. The best humorists are apt to be serious. His "My Life and Times" is best, perhaps, in its chapters describing a literary career and literary figures in London thirty and forty years ago.

It is hard to discuss Mary E. Phillips's "Edgar Allan Poe" as a biography. In two volumes. (physically almost the heaviest books of their size I ever handled) the author has painstakingly compiled an enormous number of facts about Poe, and illustrated them with a very large collection of valuable pictures and facsimiles. She deserves great credit for her industry, and she has put all future biographers in her debt. To read the book is difficult, to say the least. One of the peculiarities of its style is the irritating use of the name Poe as an adjective, in such terms as "Poe-aides," "Poebiographies," to describe writers, his

The modern biographer may be described as a man who would write a destructive life of St. John, and then come out with a book to show what a really splendid fellow was Judas. A little in this manner Shane Leslie attempts the whitewashing of "George the Fourth.""

The author of "King Solomon's Mines" and "She" finished his two-volume biography ten or fifteen years ago, and a dozen years before his own death. His early adventures in Africa, his almost accidental career as a successful novelist, and his travels and public life are described, often vividly, but with occasional patches of dullness surprising in a romancer. Sir Rider Haggard became something of a mystic in his later years, owing in part to a remarkable dream. It led to his adoption of a humane attitude toward animals, which cannot but command respect.

Of the remaining books in this list of biographies I would say that, without putting much faith in astrology as a science, I found "The Bowl of Heaven,” by the astrologer, Evangeline Adams, thoroughly readable and marked by sincerity. "Everybody's Pepys" " is much boiled down and expurgated; it is for family use, and the gay Samuel is not allowed to call a spade a spade even in his usual French or Latin. The feature of the book is Mr. Ernest Shepard's illustrations, and these are delightful. Of Violet Hunt's "I Have This to Say"" I have this to say: Why are such books published in America? There are many references to English literary folk, but much of this breathless diary is obscure. It is called the record of the author's "flurried years," and the book is certainly flurried. Parts of it seem to center around a lawsuit or a family quarrel -I am not sure which.

In "More Miles"" Harry Kemp writes hundreds of pages more of his semi-fictionized autobiography. His first volume, "Tramping on Life," was for many reasons well worth writing. One was the amusing accounts of all the freak communities in America at that period. Mr. Kemp missed none of them. This volume has one of Alice's qualifications for good book: it is full of conversations. It plunges into the middle of things at the beginning, and it ends abruptly. I see no reason why Mr.

RETURN TO BONDAGE. By Barbara Blackburn. The Dial Press, New York. $2. Barbara Blackburn in "Return to Bondage" treats of much the same sort of situation to be found in a dozen novels of the last few years, nor do the characters she portrays depart far from types that we have encountered often enough. But she handles her material with a sincerity and clearness in presentment, together with imaginative understanding and a common and uncommon sense, which more and more impress the reader. The central figures are two young women, Joan and Laura, who both in varying degree claim and exercise the new freedom in determining their lives without guidance and a pretty mess they make of it! Joan, scorched and disillusioned, though not in the least repentant, since she has lived according to her lights, turns at last in despair to the bondage of matrimony with a better man than her lover and the possibility of a sobered and conventional happiness, which the old-fashioned will think is more than her desert. Poor Laura, wretchedly married, but of an innate helpless loyalty of temperament, tries vainly to bring herself to escape, first by suicide, then by simple departure, the bonds she might fairly repudiate; but she cannot force herself to the final act; she too returns to bondage. Does this sound as if the book were another of those tediously gloomy studies of futility of which we have wearily read so many too many? It is not. That is just where it is different. It is good reading as well as good writing.

THE ELDER BROTHER. By Anthony Gibbs. The Dial Press, New York. $2.

Mr. Anthony Gibbs, of the gifted Gibbses, shows a young and modern ruthlessness in his treatment of Ronald Bellairs, Elder Brother of the unspeakable Hugo of his cale. It is trying to the emotions of the sensitive, though no doubt artistically commendable. Ronald is a man of old-fashoned, unselfish ideals of devotion and of

Hugo has no ideals and unswerving devotion to From whoever will give he will take, and Ronald gives to the utmost. Fate tricks the unhappy man at every turn, and at the end he is not even allowed to carry off his tragedy with dignity; having come, in a revulsion of despair and fury, to shoot the unworthy Hugo, he spares him, borrows a tenner instead, and vanishes into the fog. Though the scene is set with other figures, vividly projected, it is the development of the characters of the two brothers and the increasing tensity of the drama in which they are involved which grips the reader's interest.

THE DARK DAWN. By Martha Ostenso. Mead & Co., New York. $2. Not a novel of distinction, this is an enthralling story, well written. The writer's knowledge of her Northwestern country, its moods and its people, is passionate in its intensity and lends a great sureness to her touch. She fumbles badly only in the last chapter, where Mons Torson is dragged in neck and heels to hasten to a conclusion the slowly moving drama. To be sure, Lucian Dorrit, the hero, does not attain the stature we would desireand we are cruelly artistic enough to demand that he should drain his bitter and

every port, a cattle keeper on shipboard, an engineer amidst his oily engines, are put before us in Kipling's stories and poemssays the editor of The Warner Library-so that we recognize them as lovable fellowcreatures responsive to the thousandfold thrill of life.

An electric cable, a steam-engine, a banjo, or a mess-room toast offer occasion for song; and lo! they are converted by the alchemy of the imagination until they become a type and an illumination of the red-blooded life of mankind. The ability to achieve this is a crown. ing characteristic and merit of Rudyard Kipling's work.

Had Kipling stopped with his rollicking ballads of the barrack-room he would have won his place in the hall of famous poets, but he went further and higher as the uncrowned laureate of the English-speaking people.

undeserved cup to the bottom if it would aid him in so doing. But we feel that he never will reach heights even if married to Karen. He is most interesting in that fascinating first chapter, so rich a part of which is his father, William Dorrit. After his father's death all Lucian's possibilities shrink too suddenly. Miss Ostenso commenced a great figure and then decided to reduce her scale of dimensions.

It is Hattie Meeker, the terrible, who is thrown into high relief, a tragic figure on a cold white frieze, beside whom the artistic sprite Karen is no more than a wan and creeping shadow. It is Hattie that the author has really completed. In time Miss Ostenso will write a great novel. But she must not permit long acquaintance with her locality to make facile her handling of it, and she must strive for compression. In Edith Wharton's brief story “Ethan Frome" there is a similar tragedy; but how its structure slowly, grimly, rises and rises until mortals are overpowered by the size of it! "The Dark Dawn" is a gigantic situation, but not handled in a gigantic manner; only very vital and compelling the reader to follow on at a brisk pace.

Biography

IGNATIUS LOYOLA: The Founder of the Jesuits. By Paul Van Dyke. Charles Scribner's Sons, New York. $3.50.

Outwardly the life of the founder of the Society of Jesus was not eventful. But if one cares to see afresh how the intensity of one man's inner living can form the world about him both for good and ill he will find no more fascinating study than the remarkable biography Professor Paul Van Dyke has just published. We remember from no great novel a more unexpected yet logical unfolding of the ever-romantic mystery of human character than he makes Loyola's. The most Protestant of readers must admit that the latter was one of the purest souls of history; yet what a mixture of devotion, humanness, and worldliness did he leave to his order to harden sometimes in service, sometimes into horror. It needs a portrait painter with more than the impartiality of a photographer to bring out the memorableness of such a man. Ignatius has hardly found this before, but Dr. Van Dyke's goes toward a great biography. The reader who persists for two or three chapters will find himself in the power of a man able to show what a human personality can be. We recommend to all Protestants, too, that they read the life, that they may know how close home lie the materials out of which a Jesuit is made.

DEMOSTHENES.

By Georges Clemenceau. Translated by Charles Miner Thompson. Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston. $2.50. One is shrewdly tempted to find in this book a veiled autobiography, and to discuss it accordingly. But the temptation should be resisted. No doubt Clemenceau was strongly influenced toward depicting the character and career of Demosthenes by certain striking resemblances between the character of the service rendered by Demosthenes to Athens and the character of the service rendered by himself to France; still more by resemblances between the virtues and defects of Athens and the Athenians and those of France and the French; and yet still more by the resemblance (in some aspects almost amounting to identity) between the ideal rôle in ancient Hellas conceived by Demosthenes for Athens and the ideal rôle in the modern civilized world conceived by Clemenceau for France. And no doubt Clemenceau recognized in such obvious parallelism a happy artistic means of driving home the most precious lessons derived from his own political experience. But, despite that this parallelism is continuously in evidence, the

personality of Demosthenes stands out, clean-cut and salient; a profound, just, and poignant study.

We have here the political testament of the greatest statesman of his time. To be sure, Clemenceau is not a writer of the first order; far from it. He is handicapped, desperately so, by the imperfection of his art, in the effort to convey to us the essence of his political wisdom expressed from a political experience of unparalleled richness. Yet the greatness of the man, his profound wisdom, his passion for honor and justice, shine victoriously past the imperfections; and the result is a most precious document. We predict immortality for it. Clemenceau on Demosthenes; truly a "couplement of proud compare."

Sociology

AND

CONCERNING IRASCIBLE STRONG TRIXIE-CUNNING AND THEIR SONS. By William H. Smyth. With Sketches by the Author. Alfred A. Knopf, New York. $3.50. Irascible and Trixie were our ancestors away back in eolithic times; and the traits that they and their immediate progeny developed still abide with us, though taking on a highly specialized and diversified expression. Using these forebears of ours as galvanized marionettes a stage, the author endeavors to show us the cause of our social maladjustments and a way out to the development of a more rational society. It is a thoughtful and a learned book (even though the author sadly mixes up the theory of natural rights with the theory of social justification) and it is inspired by a noble purpose. But its manner is a thing about which opinions will differ widely. It is unconventional and jazzy, and is thus destined, while attracting the favorable attention of some, to repel others. Very likely some will declare it a work of genius; others, noting the oddities of expression, drawing, and typography and finding in the pocket of the inside back cover a mystifying colored chart warranted to explain everything, will vote it downright queer. No one concerned with social justice, however, will fail to find it interesting.

Essays and Criticism

GIFTS OF FORTUNE. By H. M. Tomlinson. $4. Harper & Brothers, New York.

It appears that in this book the author has made a pretty thorough clean-up of odds and ends. The result is pleasant enough, but pretty thin. Mr. Tomlinson is industriously and uncompromisingly casual and impressionistic; the trick has brought him a host of admirers, but, really, he should use it a little less relentlessly. He is, for example, on his way to an appointment, and overhears the word "Amazon." In a jiffy he is at the head-waters of the Amazon, drawing the long bow and bringing down a "whopper." A "whopper," mind you, not a "swinger." That's his lay; over and over again. Mr. Tomlinson has authentic graces of style. He is probably capable of writing a good book if he would take proper time to it and chuck his old lay.

READ AMERICA FIRST. By Robert Littell Harcourt, Brace & Co., New York. $2.50 The grandfather of the author of this book is that same Littell who, not so many years ago, wielded a most discriminating pair of shears in the editing of "Littell's Living Age," a magazine reprinting interesting articles from other publications for the edification of the Back Bay. Robert Littell is an editor of the "New Republic," retaining sufficient respect for the scissors of his grandfather to use them in harvesting the material for this book from his maga zine editorials.

cal at the expense of the Shriners, big business, morticians, realtors, and other unfortunate aspects of our National life, to an absolutely first-class article on H. L. Mencken and his imitators, and others very nearly as good about Henry Ford, the appeal of "Abie's Irish Rose," Lincoln, and Ring Lardner. Robert Littell is a singularly level-headed person with a faculty for other people's points of view. He does not happen to be particularly funny. Beside the remarkably straight thinking writing of most of this volume some of the author's more jocular efforts fall upon the ear with a dull and sodden sound.

ANOTHER TREASURY OF PLAYS FOR CHILDREN. Edited by Montrose J. Moses. With Illustrations by Tony Sarg. Little, Brown & Co., Boston. $3.

Treasury is the only word for it, as it was for the first collection of plays for children made by Mr. Moses. If, as he says, we have every reason to believe that a good children's play is the one children may take their parents to without any fear of boring them, many parents are booked for an enjoyable time this Christmas, even if they only read the plays presented here. (We wish that it had been our luck to have been taken by some intelligent British child to A. A. Milne's "Make-Believe" to see Jean Cadell, the unforgetable Miss Shoe of "At Mrs. Beam's," play Miss Pinniger.) It seems an altogether excellent thing that children should be invited to set their teeth into such plays as "The Mikado," "The Birthday of the Infanta," or even "Abraham Lincoln," all printed in full in this book, as much as to witness such old favorites as "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" and "Racketty-Packetty House." Tony Sarg's illustrations are gay, colorful, and witty. The good taste and common sense evident in the selection of the plays is equally apparent in Mr. Moses's prefatory remarks and in his "introduction which is an appendix" for parents, teachers, and librarians only.

Travel and Description

SAILING ACROSS EUROPE. By Negley Farson. The Century Company, New York. $3.50. Mr. and Mrs. Negley Farson went to England and bought a 26-foot power yawl, fitted her out in Holland, and then maneuvered her up the Rhine and Main to Bamberg, through the almost forgotten Ludwig Canal to the Danube, and down the Danube to the Black Sea.

They had adventures. No one can take such a trip and avoid adventures, but again there are few amateur yachtsmen who can convey the reality of them so well to a patient reader. Most travel books are interesting to people who have been themselves to the places described. We like to look at the pictures, remembering the time we were there, and what we said to the head waiter. Perhaps it is high enough praise to say that this book should interest you if you have never been east of Second Avenue. Negley Farson talked with fishermen and barge captains in six countries, shot pheasants with Admiral Horthy, drank slivovitz on the puszta with csizkos and other Theatre Guild extras, was shot at by one Bulgarian regiment and dined

To make the inland passage from Milwaukee to New York!

Such is the essence of "By Waterways to Gotham," by that intrepid explorer of the Colorado, Columbia, Yellowstone, Irrawaddy, and other romantic and perilous rivers, Mr. Lewis R. Freeman; but undoubtedly all hardy motor-boaters will want to know the incidents of his long, varied, and at times tempestuous voyage in an eighteen-foot craft propelled by a little outboard motor. The author supplements his pleasant narrative with a full appendix giving river, lake, and canal distances, lock data, and similar details that the ardent sailor will absorb and the lazy passenger ignore, and illustrates the story of the trip with forty-eight photographs; and yet he forgets the one thing that no such book should lack-a clear and simple map of the route.-ARTHUR GUITERMAN.

A WAYFARER IN EGYPT. By Annie A. Quibell. Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston. $3. One who is about to visit Egypt should by all means read this book in advance and take it with him; but it is not sufficiently detailed to serve one's turn completely as a guide-book. It is written with gusto and charm, and, though evidently out of abundant knowledge, yet without the slightest taint of pedantry. The historical is mixed with the descriptive (from first-hand observation) very attractively. If you have no intention of visiting Egypt, read the book, anyway; it will at once instruct and entertain you.
