Books Added to the Library April 1 to May 1, 1917 An r or b prefixed to the call number indicates that the book must be called for and used in the Reference or the Technology Room; j that it is especially suitable for children, and q that it is quarto size or larger. Biography Ainsworth, William Harrison. 92 A297e Ellis, Stewart Marsh. William Harrison Ainsworth and his friends. 2v. 1911. Lane. "Bibliography of the works of William Harrison Ainsworth," v. 2, p.347-383. Ainsworth (1805-82) was the author of some 40 historical romances, and the editor or owner of several magazines. The book, based largely on Ainsworth's letters, derives special value from the sidelights it throws on many well-known personages in early and mid-Victorian art and literature. Bernard, St. abbot of Clairvaux. 92 B456b Some letters of Saint Bernard, abbot of Clairvaux, from the translation by Dr Eales; selected, with a preface, by F. A. Gasquet. 1904. Hodges. St. Bernard (1091-1153) was an illustrious preacher and monk, the founder of 160 monasteries in various parts of the western world. Although a mystical theologian, he was a man of eminently practical mind. He was consulted by kings and nobles, and exercised a great influence on the popes of his time. The 66 letters, selected from 482 which have been preserved, were written on a large variety of subjects, to people of diverse stations and types. They help us to understand the adaptable nature of the saint which enabled him to appeal as successfully to the unlearned as to the learned. Carlyle, Thomas. 92 C214fl Flügel, Ewald. Thomas Carlyle's moral and religious development; a study; from the German by J. G. Tyler. 1891. Holbrook, Clarendon, Edward Hyde, earl of. 92 C5150 Craik, Sir Henry. Life of Edward, earl of Clarendon, lord high chancellor of England. 2v. 1911. Smith, Elder. "Though frankly favorable to Hyde [1609-74], it is on the whole accurate in its statements of fact, and, save for the literary side of its subject's career (which Sir Henry has deliberately forborne to discuss), it is unusually full and complete." Nation, 1912. Ford, Henry. 92 F7621 Lane, Rose Wilder. Henry Ford's own story; how a farmer boy rose to the power that goes with many millions, yet never lost touch with humanity. 1917. Jones. Franklin, Benjamin. day. 92 F8790 Oswald, John Clyde. Benjamin Franklin, printer. 1917. Double Published for the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. An authentic account of Franklin's career as a printer, with a few chapters on related subjects, such as "Literary style," "Literary friends," and "Love of books." The volume, in form suggestive of Franklin's own work, is pleasantly written and contains many reproductions of pages from books and newspapers, title-pages and advertisements printed by him. The author is (1917) editor of the "American printer" and a collector of Frankliniana. Hinkson, Mrs Katharine (Tynan). The middle years. 1916. Constable. 92 H567hi Second volume of recollections, dating from 1892. The author writes of Irish people and affairs, of her literary work, and of a numerous circle of friends, including Francis Thompson, William Sharp, Lionel Johnson and W. B. Yeats. Login, Lena (Campbell), lady. 92 L7831 Lady Login's recollections; court life and camp life, 1820-1904, by E. D. Login. 1916. Smith, Elder. Lady Login was a Scotch woman who married an eminent surgeon stationed at Lucknow. Her recollections, skilfully written by her daughter, include her early life in Scotland, and her experiences in India and later at the court of St. James. The book abounds in anecdotes and will be found especially readable by all interested in the history of English administration in India in the 19th century. Moore, George, b. 1853. 92 M8782mi Mitchell, Susan L. George Moore. 1916. Maunsel. (Irishmen of to-day.) An inimitable impression. Miss Mitchell's preferences among the books of George Moore furnish a formal excuse for her [small] volume. Its real justification is her critical perception of the man himself as he appeared in the Dublin of "Hail and farewell," about which she writes as an insider. Without underestimating him, she manages to give a comic emphasis to his pretensions, his frailties, his limitations; and while she is not one of Moore's victimized friends returning the compliment of portraiture, she has put her author in a perspective that is cruelly just. Condensed from New Republic, 1917. Novikoff, Mme Olga (Kiréeff), (pseud. O. K.). 92 N4792n0 Russian memories, with an introduction by Stephen Graham. Jenkins. 1917. The author has been for 40 years an energetic though unofficial promoter of AngloRussian friendship. This record of her activities is only slightly autobiographical, and at no point do her reminiscences strike deep. As she is an uncompromising champion of the old political régime in Russia, some of her observations, as touching czarism and Siberia for example, seem not a little wide of the mark. Pius II, pope. 92 P6753b Boulting, William. Æneas Silvius (Enea Silvio de' Piccolomini, Pius II), orator, man of letters, statesman and pope. 1908. Constable. Contains bibliographical foot-notes. Full, accurate biography, with many picturesque details, of one of the most human and modern of mediæval statesmen. Pius II (1405-64) achieved the rank of pope by his consummate ability in diplomacy, aided by his attainments as a man of letters. His cardinalate and his papacy were mainly devoted to organizing a crusade against the Turks. Theresa, St. 92 T351th Life of St. Teresa of Jesus of the order of Our Lady of Carmel, written by herself; tr. from the Spanish by David Lewis, compared with the original autograph text, and re-edited with additional notes and introduction by Benedict Zimmerman. 1916.
