“I am firmly inclined to believe that the new novel of intricate plot

which Mr. Gardenhire has given us in ‘The silence of Mrs. Harold’ will

deserves. Mr. Gardenhire possesses remarkable constructive ability. He

novel lacks atmosphere. One looks on at a carefully constructed Coney

Islandish reproduction of New York; one does not feel the throb of

‘the mighty heart’ of the living city. The chief defect of the book is

the one most surely fatal to fiction—it is tedious. The author is

fluent, ingenious, inventive; but the long and stilted conversations

‘get on to our nerves.’ Now and again we applaud, but before the last

page is reached we are exceedingly weary. In short, the novel is not

the work of an artist, and so fails to take the reader with it.”

A book about a child, but one whose contemplative phase belongs to

follow Margery to Margaret, and know we are always with a real girl,

independent, faulty, sensitive, and generous, imperious among her

fellows, yet a favorite and a born leader.” (Outlook.)

=Gardner, Percy.= Grammar of Greek art. **$1.75. Macmillan.

This volume “presents an attempt to set forth the underlying

conventions of Greek art, and the changes which ... they gradually

underwent. The mental fashions of the Greek mind in building and

sculpture and in painting, are presented with a discussion of the

relation between epic, lyric and dramatic poetry to painting and vase

decoration. An informing chapter is devoted to the subject of dress

and drapery.... Such sculptural problems as the decoration of

pediments are carefully analyzed. Interesting light is thrown upon the

formation of sculptural types and the Greek tendency to

impressionalism.... Illustrations in outline and half tone are

sufficiently plentiful to point in every case the discussion and

argument.”—Int. Studio.

A brief biography compiled mainly from original sources and intended

by the author as a dispassionate study. It is a history of the career

of Douglas rather than an intimate life story. A detailed account of

his work presents him as lawyer, judge, and politician, but while what

the man has done is faithfully given there is little of the man

himself. The author announces in his preface that he has “not

attempted to pronounce judgment on Douglas and his contemporaries but

to submit the evidence,” this and this only has he done. The volume

asbestos robes, who worship it and offer up passing strangers in

sacrifice to the “black fire.” There are stirring scenes in which two

thousand savages are mowed down by the ship’s guns, and barbaric games

and combats, which celebrate the coming of an office boy, George the

=Garnett, Richard.= William Shakespeare, pedagogue and poacher: a drama.

$1.25. Lane.

This play, written apparently for study and not dramatic presentation,

deals with Shakespeare’s traditional roles of school teacher and

poacher. It is necessarily unsatisfactory to Shakespeare lovers and

students, who find that his character as here portrayed falls short of

the man as shown to us in his works, and the words which Mr. Garnett

puts into his mouth, while perhaps Shakespearean, are obviously not

Shakespeare.

“Dr. Garnett’s respect for the great Elizabethan is not to be doubted,

but his drama lends to it no emphasis. It contains agreeable lines,

but it is not interesting in development, nor is there any reality in

his speech frequently is elaborate and dull. In no respect is he

realized with the distinction and art demanded by a subject so far

from the ordinary.”

are made to speak in lines which are echoes of the later Shakespeare

is extremely skilful. There is a humour, too, in many of the scenes,

feeling, the very local and personal aroma of the rapidly changing

English and the French, and tells the life history of two young men, a

Dr. Hosmer, who contributed to the centennial interest in the Lewis

added further to the commemoration in the present work. The original

jottings of Patrick Gass being no longer extant, nothing of them could

be included in Thwaites’ recent “Original journals of the Lewis and

Clark expedition,” but the chronicles trimmed and shaped by David

McKeehan, under the supervision of Gass, are of so great importance

that the re-issue after sixty years is well warranted. A full

introduction leads up to the records, and a time-saving analytical key

follows the text. The volume is uniform in style with other volumes of

McClurg’s “Americana,” with reproductions of the original

illustrations.

“Dr. Hosmer has confined his editorial work to supplying an

intended also for students preparing to be mining or civil engineers,

architects, agriculturists, or public health officers, to whom some

knowledge of structural geology is important. It covers the course

gone over in the summer course of geology in the University of

Edinburgh, a course instituted to give students a further knowledge of

practical geology than could be presented in the winter courses. There

are numerous illustrations and full-page plates.

“Written with the knowledge and authority of a professor of wide

experience, the work is likely to be of much use far beyond the range

of University classes. Perhaps the most valuable part of Prof.

Geikie’s work is that devoted to geological surveying.”

=Genung, John Franklin.= Ecclesiastes. **$1.25. Houghton.

A philosophical rather than a critical study. “The author, together

with most modern students of the book, rightly discards the word

‘Ecclesiastes,’ the Greek translation of ‘Koheleth,’ in the first

place because it is almost certainly an incorrect translation, and, in

the second place, as the author appropriately observes, because it

‘entitles what is of all Scripture books the least ecclesiastical.’”

(Bib. World.) “He dwells but slightly on the historical background,

and then introduces us to the theory that Koheleth was a reaction

against the immortality doctrine, recently adopted from the Greeks and

pushed into prominence by the Pharisees. The preacher contends against

living for a vague futurity, and insists upon living this present life

to its utmost.” (Cath. World).

“Genung’s thesis is admirably set forth and strongly buttressed by

references to modern literature. But the impression remains that he

has rather read into Koheleth a view which one would like to discover

there, than revealed the actual nature of the book itself.”

+ + =Atlan.= 95: 703. My. ‘05. 480w.

“To a full two hundred pages of discussion the author has added a new

translation and a running commentary. Both are excellent, but the

latter especially ripples along in clear, crisp sentences that show

how much a deft literary touch may do even for a commentary. In fact,

the book as a whole exhibits in language and treatment the author’s

nice literary taste. In the opinion of the present writer, Professor

Genung is not at his best when he discusses, or rather makes fun of,

Siegfried’s analysis of Koheleth. Satire is not convincing. The

reviewer also feels impelled to enter a non liquet against Professor

Genung’s contention that Koheleth represents a reaction against

contemporary views of immortality. The solid merit of the serious and

painstaking work that has gone into the book will win for it an

honored place on many shelves.” William Frederic Badé.

“Mr. Genung would have done far better to have examined the book

accompanying the translation, there are useful suggestions.”

=Gerard, Dorothea (Mme. Longard de Longarde).= Sawdust: a Polish romance

of the Carpathian timberlands. $1. Winston.

Self made, a lover of work for work’s sake, Josef Mayer, has at last

achieved success and erected a saw-mill in the Polish Carpathians,

having beggared Count Rutkowski and secured his timber lands in a

shrewd business deal. Then comes a pretty romance between the count’s

daughter and Meyer’s son, which is opposed more strenuously by the

peasant than by the nobleman, but which ends satisfactorily in the

loss of the Meyer fortune. Royalty, the village folk and the

disaffected Jews figure in the story.

A short biography of the American patriot whom Longfellow’s poem saved

from historical oblivion. His midnight ride is told in his own words,

and he appears as a patriotic engraver and dentist as well as public

messenger, soldier, and juror. Both Revere and the historical events

in which he played a part lose in romance but gain much in reality by

this accurate account. Original documents are quoted and Revere’s

to describe these classes, not as they may be imagined in some

projected benevolent feudalism, but as they are to be found here and

now in the industrial life of the nation; and to indicate the current

The account of a thoro exploration of Marotseland, made in 1898 by an

fix a British boundary line; to determine the Congo-Zambesi watershed;

to discover the real source of the Zambesi; and to make such surveys

and general investigations as should determine the best place for the

Rhodesian railway company to push its line across the river. The

account is interesting and valuable, the more so because the Cape to

Cairo railway, soon to be completed, will make it possible for the

tourist to cover this same ground. Native life and conditions, present

government and economic possibilities are treated in detail.

=Gide, Charles.= Principles of political economy; second American ed.;

tr. by C. Wm. A. Veditz. $2. Heath.

The eight editions through which the original French “Principes

certain sections of the book, but leave the fundamental purpose the

same,—that of giving to the reader “a plain statement of the accepted

principles of economics, a summary of the unsettled problems of the

science, and a clear, brief, and impartial outline of the various

solutions that have been proposed. The author is almost as felicitous

in presenting a subject that in the hands of most scholars is

extremely dull as was Henry George. This work has been brought down to

the latest date and evidently no pains have been spared, within

certain limits, to present the subject in a broad, up-to-date and

comprehensive manner. A third excellence is found in its concrete

presentation of the subject.” (Arena).

“Perhaps much of the popularity of the book is due to its catholicity.

The arrangement of the material is open to criticism as unnatural and

liable to interrupt and confuse the thought. This is not true as

regards the general plan of the book, but only as regards topics under

the chief heads. Professor Veditz must be given credit and

congratulation for the vitality and the up-to-dateness of this book.”

“It is written in a charmingly lucid manner. By the author’s method of

presentation the interest in the subject and its intelligibility have

gained rather than lost by the concise and direct treatment. The

division and arrangement of the work are also admirable and with the

fairly good index enable the reader to find anything he desires with

little loss of time. This work, though far less open to criticism than

many conventional political economies, falls, in our judgment, far

short of meeting the demands of an up-to-date political economy that

claims to present impartially the various present-day theories of

government. The claim of the publishers, that the book is impartial,

is not borne out by the facts.”

=Gilder, Jeannette Leonard.= Tom-boy at work. †$1.25. Doubleday.

employed as a copyist by a historian, later she worked in the

Philadelphia mint, then became in turn a tinter of photographs, an

auditor’s clerk, a proofreader, and, finally, a successful newspaper

woman. She gives her impressions of New York thirty years ago; and

many distinguished literary men, singers and actors of that day enter

into her story.

“She has interpreted the whole situation with that shrewd, honest,

impersonal intelligence which is founded upon humor and common sense

rather than upon the usual sentimental pose of such a writer to her

theme.”

The Ojibway in relation to his own kindred and tribe is pictured in

this narrative so humane that were it not for his wilderness

surroundings, his crude equipments, his superstitious fear, one might

count him the owner of some developed instincts. But the recital of

the horrible and bloodthirsty relations with the Sioux tribe reveals

such abject savagery that the reader fairly recoils from it. The book

is made up of these two phases, with many incidental allusions to

traits and customs.

“To call the book a novel was a misnomer. It is rather a series of

moving pictures in which we see real people doing real things. In

=Gilman, N. P.= Methods of industrial peace. **$1.60. Houghton.

This book will be gladly received by the student of social movements,

as there is increasing demand for new works upon the “labor question,”

due to the rapid growth of knowledge thru investigation, and the

steady change in facts and phases of the question itself. “The book

takes an Anglo-Saxon point of view, since it draws almost as much upon

English as upon American experience, besides making considerable

reference to Australian and New Zealand developments. It undertakes a

good deal more than a discussion of the special machinery designed to

further industrial peace, giving a brief but concise statement of the

chief facts incidental to the history and present position of trade

unionism. [Then the author shows the necessity for the efficient

organization of both employers and employed, discusses the “sliding

scale,” raises the question of the legal constitution and liability of

trade unions.] ... The ensuing chapters deal at some length with the

aims and methods of unions, their conduct of strikes and boycotts, and

the place borne by the public in relation to their actions. The

remainder of the book is given to a general account of trade boards of

conciliation, state boards of arbitration, and the methods of legal

regulation in force in New Zealand.” (Int. J. Ethics).

learning.” C. R. Henderson.

accordance with which industrial organization would appear to be

moving. Mr. Gilman has traveled over so much ground that he has at

times become a little sketchy in his treatment. Description rather

than economic analysis is the strong point of the book. In a subject

so far reaching, however, it is perhaps unfair to expect more than a

broad presentation of the material which will enable others to

formulate particular problems and to attempt independent judgments.

employes towards satisfactory methods of industrial peace.”

As the posthumous historical novel of one who was essentially a modern

speculation upon the author’s change of style. It is a romance of Rome

in the sixth century, and deals with the historical persons and events

of the time of Justinian and Belisarius. Mr. Frederic Harrison, who

writes the introduction, considers it the author’s most important

work, showing, “his poetical gift for local color, his subtle insight

into spiritual mysticism, and ... his really fine scholarship and

classical learning.”

tiresomely slow, and the story destitute of a single throb of real

“It falls naturally into four parts. The first is a chapter on the age

and the man, and in it we are shown how Virgil, himself the child of a

darker period, had a vision of a brighter day to come, and taught his

countrymen to look forward hopefully to the age which was opening

before them. The next consists of three chapters of literary studies:

the first treats of the literary influences to which Virgil was

subject, the second of his contemporaries, and the third about the

growth of the myths about Aeneas. The third portion of the book deals,

in three chapters, with the land and the nation, the three topics

being Italy, Rome, and Augustus. The last part of the book is on

Virgil’s interpretation of life, and here we have chapters on Dido,

Aeneas, Hades, and Olympus, and a final summary.”—Nation.

“In the long list of writings on Virgil and his poetry, Mr. Glover’s

new book deserves a high place. The chapter about Dido is perhaps the

best in the book, and certainly it is one of the most interesting and

sensible essays on that famous episode of the Aeneid which we have

ever read. The chapter on Aeneas is unconvincing, and almost a

failure. Neither do we care much for the last chapter. But as a whole

the book ought to be of great assistance to all who wish to get a true

the Royal oak, on Cromwell, and on the regicides, are of this

irrelevant nature. The wording, and still more the spelling, of Joseph

Wadsworth’s will, which is printed in full, are so strikingly in

path of a woman’s happiness. The situation is subtly handled, and one

of the oldest of stories thereby acquires new distinction. It is the

familiar story of marriage without much thought, the husband’s rapid

development into a vulgar brute, and his final desertion of wife and

children. Then the right man appears upon the scene, and the deserted

wife is torn by the conflict between desire and duty. The plea of duty

is voiced by the representatives of church and society, and their

Makers of the American republic: a series of patriotic lectures. $2.

Treat.

Sixteen historical lectures on the early colonists; The Virginians,

Pilgrims, Puritans, Hollanders, Scotch, Huguenots, Quakers, and the

old-time doctors, lawyers, and ministers. Columbus, Washington, our

patriotic dead, and the black forefathers are also treated.

“Characterized for the most part by a degree of intellectual

hospitality and breadth of thought rarely found in similar discussions

by trinitarian clergymen.”

=Gregory, J. C.= Short introduction to the theory of electrolytic

dissociation, *50c. Longmans.

“This is a useful little book for those students who, after taking a

course of systematic chemistry, wish to know something of the

behaviour of electrolytic solutions.” (Nature.) Its four chapters are

entitled The condition of dissolved substances; Ions and

precipitation; Hydrogen and hydroxyl ions; Electrolytic and general

considerations.

“The language and mode of presentation are simple, and although one

might take exception to many points of detail, the book, on the whole,

should prove a trustworthy guide.”

=Grenfell, Bernard Pyne; Drexel, Lucy Wharton; and Hunt, Arthur

Surridge,= eds. New sayings of Jesus, and fragments of a lost gospel,

from Oxyrhynchus, Part IV. *40c. Oxford.

“The present volume contains for the most part papyri found in the

second excavations at Oxyrhynchus in 1903. It will not be as amusing

to the general reader as certain of the previous volumes, since it

includes but few of the non-legal and non-literary, but excessively

human, documents that gave in them such a sparkle of life to the pages

of a very dead subject.... The volume contains a goodly number of

interesting legal documents, which increase our knowledge of details

of Egyptian administration and Graeco-Egyptian law. The number of

personal letters is, as we have indicated, very few.”—Nation.

=Grenfell, Wilfred Thomason.= Harvest of the sea: a tale of both sides

of the Atlantic. **$1. Revell.

Dr. Grenfell, who for twenty years has worked among the deep sea

fishermen on both sides of the Atlantic, gives a picture of these men,

their lives, and the revolution, social and religious, wrought by the

coming of the mission ship among the fishing fleets.

+ =Bookm.= 21: 651. Ag. ‘05, 210w.

+ =Critic.= 46: 471. My. ‘05. 350w.

“Dr. Grenfell’s narrative of the North Sea fishers

especially—considered quite without reference to its value as a record

of evangelization—is stirring, full of the life and tragedy of the

sea. The account of the Labrador men is briefer and less picturesque.”

=Griffith, J. Quintin.= Helps and hints in nursing. *$1.50. Winston.

A text-book for nurses, and a guide for the family which gives the

ordinary details of nursing which the doctor wishes carried out in

everyday maladies, tells what to do in cases of emergency, gives

directions for caring for infants and children, and for preserving the

health.

“A practical and sensible book which may be commended to use in

families and by all who have to do with illness.”

+ + =Outlook.= 81: 334. Ag. 7, ‘05. 20w.

=Griffiths, Arthur George Frederick.= Fifty years of public service.

*$5. Cassell.

Born in India and entering the English army at the time of the Crimean

war, as a mere youth, the author saw military service in Crimea, Nova

Scotia, Montreal, Gibraltar, and Abyssinia, and civil service in

charge of prisons at Gibraltar, Chatham, and Milbank. This account of

his career suggests that the material for his novels and detective

stories was taken from life.

=Critic.= 47: 188. Ag. ‘05. 120w.

“The author’s style has the unstudied fluency of one who is used to

writing with the din of the printing-press in his ears and the boy at

his side waiting for copy. The book is a worthy addition to the

major’s long list of works, grave and gay.”

+ =Dial.= 38: 325. My. 1, ‘05. 330w.

“You would say Major Griffiths had enjoyed his ‘Fifty years of

service’ in the living at least as much as you enjoy it in reading.”

+ + =N. Y. Times.= 10: 333. My. 20, ‘05. 1410w.

=Griggs, Edward Howard.= Moral education. *$2. Huebsch.

Professor Griggs points out the aim and scope of his work in the

following: “a study, as exhaustive as I could make it, of the whole

problem of moral culture: its purpose in relation to our society, and

all the means through which that purpose can be attained. My aim has

been sanity and not novelty, ... to see ‘steadily and whole’ both

human life and the process of moral culture that leads to it and make

possible the happiest and most helpful living.”

“This volume should be carefully read by every parent and teacher in

the land. It is a work at once eminently practical and yet nobly

idealistic. He has considered his subject deeply and treats it as only

a man of rare insight, a true philosopher and a practical teacher

could present a theme.”

+ + + =Arena.= 34: 330. S. ‘05. 290w.

“He writes with beauty and almost invariably with marked clearness; he

develops very instructively and applies to the work of ethical

formation the leading results of modern educational investigation.”

+ + — =Cath. World.= 81: 126. Ap. ‘05. 580w.

“This book by Mr. Griggs is one of the significant indications of the

trend of education in the present time, while in itself it is a

decided contribution to the philosophy and method of education. Unlike

much of current educational discussion, the parent is not here made

subservient to the teacher or entirely ignored.” Leslie Willis

Sprague.

+ + =Int. J. Ethics.= 15: 379. Ap. ‘05. 940w.

“The present volume seems to have reached the root of the difficulty

which confronts modern educators, for it points out wherein they err

by casting aside the old systems and giving entire precedent to new

and untried methods. The book is written in a masterly style.”

+ + =Reader.= 5: 499. Mr. ‘05. 400w.

“The book addresses itself especially to the teacher, but will be

found interesting and helpful to all who are concerned in any way with

the rearing of children.”

+ =R. of Rs.= 31: 254. F. ‘05. 120w.

=Gronau, Georg.= Titian. $2. Scribner.

The monograph of the great painter not only tells a graphic story of

the artist’s life, but describes the picturesque conditions under

which he worked, the emperors, dukes and bishops who gave him

commissions, forming a romantic background. The book gives the results

of the most recent investigations of the authorship of disputed

masterpieces, is copiously illustrated with fifty odd half-tones, has

a fine bibliography, and a complete index.

“Is not so specialized a piece of work as is the standard biography by

Crowe and Cavalcaselle. It is tersely and vividly written, precisely

the book for the general reader.” Royal Cortissoz.

+ + =Atlan.= 95: 276. F. ‘05. 320w.

“It is quite up-to-date in its attributions. The side on which their

usefulness does not seem to increase or greatly enlighten is that of a

new word concerning the technical performances of great colourists,

draughtsmen and virile painters. But this lapse Gronau has in common

with others who write of artists and their work. Such books as these

become, in a sense, a kind of superior guidebook to galleries, palaces

and churches, but they are not quite what a student or a connoisseur

would desire when wishing to be enlightened on the methods, ways, and

practices of a master painter. Present book is excellent of its kind.”

Frank Fowler.

+ =Bookm.= 20: 556. F. ‘05. 870w.

“Dr. Gronau’s volume, marked by cautious accuracy and disinterested

love of truth, is a model for works of its class. It is a thing of

high art in itself, and is certainly the best life of Titian that has

appeared.” George Breed Zug.

=Grout, Abel Joel.= Mosses with hand-lens and microscope. 26. ed. $1.75

A. J. Grout, 306 Lenox Road, Brooklyn, N. Y.

This second edition “which follows the same general plan as the first

edition, is expanded to include 169 of the ‘more common and more

easily recognized mosses of the northeastern United States,’ as well

as fifty-four of the hepaticæ of the same region.... The text contains

something like 118 figures and 39 full-page plates.”—Science.
