"The framework of his present story is modern enough; the hero and heroines belong to the present period, and the life of today, and a highly refined variety of it. Putting aside the disproportionate amount of 'word-painting'. the story, though slight, is really not uninteresting, and here and there is genuinely pathetic.

The general question how far the novel of modern life is fitted to be the vehicle of religious speculation is one which we are not able to discuss." Athenæum, Oct. 23.

minton lib.)

"Remarks on the manufacture and mechanism of guns, the breaking of dogs, and the destruction of vermin, and a relation of the idiosyncracies, first of keepers, then of poachers, leave nothing to be desired. Even the oldest sportsman may pick up wrinkles in the volume on field and covert shooting. The accounts of Scotch sport in the volume on the moor and marsh are written in a captivating style, and simply exhaust the subject. Contains an exhaustive treatise on every known method of wild-fowl shooting by confessedly the first authority on it." Athenæum, Sept. 11. Walter, J.

Dobson, A. R: Steele. (English worthies.)

"As there are three authentic portraits of Sir Riehard on canvas, so there are three well-known literary representations of him. One is by Macaulay, who makes him, so to speak, play Mr. Hyde to Addison's Dr. Jekyll. Another is by John Forster, who rubs off Macau. lay's lamp-black, and gives the most faithful picture of Steele hitherto extant. The third and best known, by Thackeray, is the Steele of the novelist or dramatist rather than of the historian. Mr. Dobson's

portrait of Steele is essentially the same as Mr. Forsters's amplified and corrected in detail. Buried in a half-forgotten collection, Mr. Forster's essay is, for the general reader, practically non-existent, whereas Macaulay's Steele and Thackeray's have gone forth to the ends of the earth. Mr. Dobson's corrective, then, does not come a moment too soon. He shows that Steele was neither a profligate spendthrift and intellectual paracite, nor a mere soft-hearted, lazy, irresponsible, overgrown school-boy," - Pall Mall budget. Drewry, E. S. Baptized with a curse; a romance. (Harper's handy ser.)

"The book is one that will make its principal appeal to those who find themselves in places similar to that which Bp. Kerfoot occupied, and to those profoundly interested in the ecclesiastical polity and history of the Episcopal Church; to the general public, very little, and yet it is to be desired that those who will read it least should read it most; for it is a book eminently calcu lated to convince those who were not of the Bishop's fold that here was a good shepherd, an earnest, honest, and industrious man, doing his best in his own way to make love and righteousness abound. There is no better antidote for the keenness of our sectarian animosities than the reading of biographies of men who did not walk with us. Bishop Kerfoot was an ardent, even a passionate Episcopalian; but to read his biography, and espe cially his own letters and journal is to be made aware that his Christianity and his manhood transcended his particular opinions."

"Gives most interesting accounts of Nathan Hale, the gallant young American patriot, who was hung by the British as a spy in New York in 1776, and of Major André the British spy, hung in 1780. All the facts known concerning them are given in the author's simple lucid style.

Madison, Mrs. D. P. Memoirs and letters; ed. by her grand-niece.

"Facts are made alive and contemporary by many letters, which exhibit in rather dull colors, it is truesomething of society at the period, but also a simple, womanly nature, interested in a woman's affairs, bright, cheerful, domestic, faithful to her duties, loyal and affec tionate and considerate, in society very intent on pleasing others... an entirely honorable, attractive, and capable character from girlhood to her last hours. The most exciting incident is the taking of Washington by the British, which is graphically told. Out of somewhat slight materials a very interesting book has been made; and the list of American women who survive in history is so brief that this biography of one of the leading public characters of her day, as well as of Virginia society in its noted time, is very welcome." — Nation, Sept. 30.

Mallock, W: H. The old order changes.

"Most of the personages are real. Three of them are public characters, and every one who is in the habit of reading the newspapers will know they are intended to be identified with Mr. Hyndman, Mr. Chamberlain, and Lord Lytton. There is no sort of attempt to disguise any one of them save by a change of name. The rest are not public characters, but several of them are no more dubious to those who happen to be privately acquainted with them than Mr. Hyndman is to Mr. Mallock's readers generally. There are two ways of writing fiction ahout real people. One is to make them talk and behave as they really do, and leave it to the reader to ascertain their identity. This is the manner believed to have been aimed at by the late Lord Beaconsfield and Mr. George Meredith. The other is to put on them broad, plainly-written labels and then to let them talk and behave anyhow. This is the easier method, and it is Mr. Mallock's. To the novel 'quâ' novel, it would be difficult to give higher praise than to reiterate the opinion that, of all possible or impossible snobs, Carew is the peerless pearl."

[ocr errors]

"Aims to describe in fiction the struggles between aristocracy and socialism, and between the Church (Roman Catholic, of course) and the world. Well-known personages are introduced under transparent pseudonyms, and the subjects are of vital importance; but the story drags,the hero and heroine lack blood and life,and the effect of the book, though not repulsive like that of Romance of the nineteenth century,' is that the England of today is not only weary, stale, flat, and unprofit able, but also vulgar, which many people will hesitate

to admit. Mr. Mallock is at his best in his caricature
of the creeds, statements, or pronunciamentos of lead.

"The so-called labor movement, from Professor Newcomb's point of view, is a mischievous attempt on the part of people already as well off as they deserve to be, to interfere with the exquisite harmonies of the social organism. He deprecates all forms of labor combina. tion, and invites workingmen to accept the existing or der as equitable and perfect. He argues with neatness, and despatch... About half of the book is occupied with a discussion of the railroad question. The most case-hardened defender of our present chaotic and scandalous railroad administration never before ventured such unqualified and reckless praise as this astronomical panegyrist accords."— Albert Shaw in the Dial, Nov.

"The prime object of the book before us seems to be to show that the principles on which government in the United States is ostensibly based-sovereignty of the people, equal and universal suffrage, delegation of pow. ers, and rule of the majority - are nonsense; that ow. ing to natural conditions, and to certain conservative traditions inherited from colonial times, and carefully enforced by the constituents,' who had little faith in the people for whose reign they were preparing, water has for a time been made to run up hill, but that there are abundant signs that gravitation is again resuming its sway.

Of the sixty stories, some are old friends with new faces, others are entirely new, but all have a distinct point, and a local coloring which makes them striking.

"If the higher criticism requires for its production anything of the philosophic cast of mind, if it consists in the patient application of acute insight, of trained and well-poised judgment, and of wide and ready sympathy, to the analysis and interpretation of literature, then is Mr. Swinburne but half a critic.

The Cruise of the Mystery,' although given the place of honor is by no means a fair selection by which to judge the other poems of this writer, and of this volume.
