are again interestingly in evidence in the volume containing four stories of personal experiences in Indian Warfare and in the Civil War, and entitled "Thrilling Days in Army Life" (Harper). The titles are: "A Frontier Fight"; "An Apache Raid"; "Sheridan's Ride"; "The Closing Scene at Appomattox Court-House." The title of the book does not belie the contents. The stories are "thrilling" enough, and they are the better for being so modestly and directly told. The book has the sharp literalism of the account of an eyewitness; and its quality is not impaired by any straining at rhetorical effect. Mr. Zogbaum's pictures are decidedly good in their way, and there are sixteen of them. Memories of the Tennysons. No one is familiar with the history of the Tennyson family, or, more specifically, with the "Memoirs " prepared by the second Lord Tennyson, without being aware of the intimacy between that distinguished group and the family of the Reverend H. D. Rawnsley. "Memories of the Tennysons (Macmillan), from the hand of the honorary Canon of Carlisle, will therefore be welcomed as tending to cast new light on the individualities of the most distinguished band of brothers in English literature. The chief concern of the author is, of course, with Alfred Tennyson, and many interesting anecdotes are given, none of them disclosing any unsuspected traits of a man so fully contemporaneous and so fortunate in his biographies, yet all rounding out toward completeness our knowledge of that commanding personality. The incidents are set forth with great good nature and entire frankness, including some corrections of Mr. Rawnsley's speech by the Laureate, as when he insisted upon the pronunciation of "knowledge" with the "o" as in "know" an eccentricity of speech due, like many others, to his northern English origin. A chapter not less interesting than the others is devoted to Charles Tennyson Turner; while the book is prefaced by a series of homely anecdotes rescued from servants and villagers who knew the Tennysons of old. An interesting photograph of Alfred Tennyson has been reproduced for the frontispiece, and the charm of the Reverend Mr. Rawnsley's style makes the book a contribution to literature in more senses than one. "The Individual, a Study of Life and Death." Professor N. S. Shaler, as a partial result of thirty-five years of teaching, has presented, in "The Individual, a Study of Life and Death" (Appleton), an application of the theory of evolution to some of the greatest concerns of mankind. A consideration of the purely physical realm, and then of that realm which contains life, shows that the organic form is differentiated from the inorganic by its capacity to gather and store experience. Thus each successive generation of individuals is nourished, the older form, after having transmitted its garnered experience, disappearing to make room for the newer. Even before man is reached in the chain of life, death is established as an indispensable corollary and condition of advancement. Educableness, then, is the differentiating quality of the organic individual. And death is due, not merely to the process of natural selection,- the survival of the fittest, but also to the sacrifice needed for the due development of the oncoming race. Though the individuality of each man amounts to isolation, it is only in mankind that the power of sympathy reaches its height. Sympathy finds expression in language, and otherwise, and is prompted by natural and tribal affection, the religious motive, property, and especially by social institutions. It is in sympathetic outgoing to the needs of his kind that man best conquers the fear of death. Professor Shaler has made several suggestive departures from the strict scope of his field. War, he says, is waste of the young life, that, reared at great cost, is not allowed to perfect its contribution to the good of the whole. Old age should be secured to larger number, and in modern society can be utilized for the general profit as never before. Immortality is not denied by the discoveries of latter-day science, while there are certain observed facts that tally with belief in a life beyond death. As a whole, this book is the result of such observation, experience, and wisdom as a young man could not have had. Its pages are frequently illuminating outside the line of their direct discussion. The open mind and the reverence of the writer are everywhere evident. As a single word of blame amidst the praise - there is room in a second edition for the correction of numerous small errors, due to imperfect proof-reading. A philosophy of politics. Professor Frank J. Goodnow is a prolific writer, as well as a logical and forcible one. His magnum opus on "Comparative Administrative Law," published in 1893, was soon followed by his "Municipal Home Rule" and "Municipal Problems," and to these he has now added a work entitled "Politics and Administration, a Study in Government" (Macmillan). The title corresponds to the author's division of the functions of government into the political and the administrative- the expression and the execution of the state's will - the judicial function being classed as a subdivision of administration. Like Mr. Bryce, Professor Goodnow lays much stress upon extra-legal institutions; and he gives in an interesting way the history and philosophy of such spontaneous political growths as the party, the spoils system, and the boss. He advises legal recognition of political parties, in a way to make them and their leaders responsible to the public, and finds encouragement in England's development of responsible government and efficient administration out of corrupt bossism and a corrupt and inefficient civil service. His other principal recommendation is in the direction of a reasonable centralization of the American administrative system, coupled with an extension of the principle of self-government. "What we need, in order to obtain harmony between the locality and the state, is to grant the locality more local legislative power than it now possesses, and to subject it to central administrative control where it is acting as the agent of the state." The treatment and training of children. Whatever store the world may set by severe academic training, there are times when the absence of it is refreshing. Such an instance was to be found in Mrs. Charlotte Perkins Gilman's "Women and Economics," and another is now afforded by her newer work "Concerning Children" (Small, Maynard & Co.). To a degree hardly known outside of that remarkable family of Beechers of which she is a member, Mrs. Gilman's work possesses a quality that provokes discussion. Whether her readers find themselves in complete disagreement with her and thus forced to set up a position of their own, or holding to certain of her tenets for reasons the reverse of hers, there is hardly a page of her work that does not have its effect from her manner of presentation. She announces with something of the joy of the discoverer that children have rights of all kinds which the adult is bound to respect. She does not believe for a moment that a stupid, perverse, or untrained mother is better fitted to bring up her own child than an intelligent, receptive, thoroughly disciplined instructor. She sees no spiritual or intellectual reason why a man of the highest attainments should regard it as an honor to instruct youths of twenty, when he can do a thousand times more good by teaching infants of two. She does not think women from the lowest walks in life are the best companions for ingenuous youth in kilts; and the Southern contempt for the negro as an associate, with a placid acquiescence in any negro being a good enough mentor for the Southern child, she regards as more than incongruous. But we cannot go further into the details of this wholesomely disturbing book, which deserves to be read on its own account. no reason Mr. Garner's studies among apes and monkeys. by his brute companions, when Mr. Alexander Graham Bell's "visible speech" would have answered every purpose better. Mr. Garner says of one of his chimpanzees (page 116) that he "succeeded in teaching him one word of human speech," a statement not borne out by his fuller account of the experiment (pp. 135 et seq.). Doctor Edward Everett Hale provides an interesting introduction for the book, which is handsomely designed and illustrated. Reference book of Prehistoric Implements. In the preface to his work on "Prehistoric Implements" (Robert Clarke Co.), Mr. Warren K. Moorehead warns us that his book is a reference-book for collectors, not a hand-book for the professional archsologist. There are, he informs us, four thousand five hundred persons in the United States who own collections of relics containing from fifty to twentyfive thousand specimens. His book aims to direct the efforts of these collectors to profitable ends. There is no question that its influence will be helpfully felt. The prehistoric relics of the United States are described by geographical areas. Some uneven of these are discussed by Mr. Moorehead himself, but nine assistants, "editors," have presented the facts regarding their own local fields. This diversity of authors has led to a fairly full-though treatment of hitherto somewhat neglected areas; but a well-digested, connected, and symmetrical presentation of the same material by one person would have been far more satisfactory. It is unfortunate that the illustrations are not better, and that greater care was not taken with the wording of the text and in proof-reading. While a long list of errata is given in the early part of the book, it does not begin to give the errors; there are probably more unnoted errors than pages in the book. The fact that Mr. Moorehead's health was in a precarious condition during the time when the book was being prepared is some excuse for the unsatisfactory form in which it appears. Modern pen The annual extra Winter Number of "The Studio" is this year devoted to an exposition of "Modern Pen-Drawings: European and American" (John Lane), in a handsomely printed volume issued under the editorship of Mr. Charles Holme. The text is contributed by special authorities in the various countries represented, and forms a comprehensive and reliable, though necessarily brief, survey of the subject. But the main interest of the volume lies in the collection of illustrations, which would do credit to a much more ambitious and expensive work. Every artist commented upon in the text is represented, many of the pictures having been drawn especially for this purpose. The reproduction and general arrangement of the drawings evidence the same skill and taste that have made "The Studio" the most beautiful periodical that we have. In the section devoted to American art Whatever Mr. R. L. Garner has to say about our kinsfolk, the Quadrudraughtsmen. mana, is reasonably certain to be of interest. "Apes and Monkeys, Their Life and Language" (Ginn & Co.) is his most important popular account of his recent work in searching out the psychology of the brute creation nearest us in development, physical and intellectual. It contains a brief narrative of his stay in the wilds of Africa during his attempts to catch the speech and observe the manners of the manlike apes in the open forests. The account of the words and vocal articulations used by these animals for the conveyance of ideas is, it may be presumed, to be followed by a less popular and more scientifically exact work on the subject. It is to be noted with regret that Mr. Garner appears to be so unfamiliar with the study of phonetics that he has gone to the pains of inventing a system of notation for the sounds used ists a number of errors in the spelling of proper names are to be found, and sometimes (as in the case of Mr. Gibson) the drawings selected are not always fairly representative of the artist's ability. But these are minor blemishes that can detract but little from one's enjoyment of the work, which is really a remarkable one for the price. Methods of railway regulation. Mr. Frank Hendrick, Ricardo prize fellow in Harvard University, has written a useful monograph on "Railway Control by Commissions" (Putnam's "Questions of the Day" series), in which he gives an account of railway regulation in France, Italy, Austria, Belgium, Germany, England, and the United States, describing most fully the Massachusetts system, which he especially admires, and concluding that the best form of control is secured by a permanent commission without power. After summarizing the proposals of various writers for solving the railway problem, the author submits as his own solution, (1) the permission of pooling, (2) the abolition of the quasi-judicial power of the Interstate Commerce Commission, and (3) a system of state commissions on the plan of the Massachusetts board, to work in coöperation with a national commission to be organized on the same basis. A final chapter gives an account of the state purchase of railways in Switzerland. A graphic picture of life in Confederate prisons. In "A Captive of War" (McClure, Phillips & Co.) Mr. Solon Hyde, formerly Hospital Steward of the Seventeenth Ohio Volunteer Infantry, tells the sufficiently stirring tale of his experiences in Confederate prisons, notably Libby, Danville, and Andersonville. Mr. Hyde was captured by Forrest's cavalry a day or two after the battle of Chickamauga, Sept. 19, 1863, and was finally paroled on Feb. 27, 1865, after a variety of experiences, in prison and en route from one prison to another, that are well worth the telling. The style of the narrative is terse, blunt, and unpolished, and there is a certain bitterness of tone throughout born of the rankling memory of scenes of brutality, and of ill-treatment at the hands of ruffians of the Wirz type, whom the war clothed with a little brief authority. That "war is hell" Mr. Hyde's book graphically attests. The Venice of America. "Old Wickford, the Venice of America," is the title of a rather attractively made book of 240 pages, wherein Mrs. F. Burge Griswold sets forth pleasantly and intelligently, if with a somewhat exaggerated sense of the general interest of her theme, the simple annals of the wave-washed village of Wickford, R. I. The little volume seems in some sort a labor of love, and the author's manifest attachment to the scenes whereof she writes imparts a tinge of pleasing sentiment to her style. The text is printed on paper of a moderate glaze, and the score or so of photographic plates are acceptably made. (Milwaukee: Young Churchman Co.). BRIEFER MENTION. Messrs. Small, Maynard & Co. have reprinted the "Poems" of the late Philip Henry Savage, bringing together in a single volume the two small books published during the lifetime of the author, and "the best poems found in his portfolio after his death." The whole collection is edited by Mr. Daniel Gregory Mason, and embellished with a portrait of the writer. "The Listening Child," edited by Mrs. Lucy W. Thatcher, is a selection of English and American verse for "the youngest readers and hearers." It is, as fully thought out and intelligently arranged," and proColonel Higginson says in his introductory note, "care vides a great variety of pieces suitable to be placed in the hands of readers of sixteen and downwards. The Macmillan Co. are the publishers. "Orestes A. Brownson's Latter Life," covering his last twenty years, has just been published by Mr. Henry F. Brownson, the author. This is the third and final volume of a biography which, although overgrown, is of much interest to both Catholic and Protestant readers. Nothing could well be uglier than the mechanical make-up of these volumes, and it is a pity that so valuable a work should have such a handicap. Omar und kein Ende! The last thing Omar would seem to need is a commentary, but Mr. H. M. Batson has thought otherwise, and has gravely explained the quatrains one by one. This rather thin performance is supplemented by a biographical study of the poet, made by Mr. E. D. Ross, and a work of the most admirable and scholarly character. FitzGerald's text is sandwiched between these two thick slices of prose, and the whole is made into a neat volume by Messrs. Putnams. Dr. Edwin Herbert Lewis's "Second Manual of Composition," published by the Macmillan Co., carries on into the work of more advanced classes the principles and the methods inculcated in the earlier volume. It is a helpful and thoroughly practical treatise, informed by the best scholarship, and deserving of the most cordial commendation. A revised edition of the standard Spanish-English Dictionary of Velasquez has long been needed, and has at last been produced by the Messrs. Appleton. The editors are Messrs. Edward Gray and Juan L. Iribas. The extent of the revision may be indicated by saying that eight thousand new titles have been added, together with several hundred idioms. The work makes a volume of nearly seven hundred pages of three columns each. It will be followed in due course by a revision of the English-Spanish section, and by revised editions of the other lexicographical and educational books of Velasquez. The National Educational Association held its meeting of last summer at Charleston, S. C., and the annual volume of the proceedings now comes to us from the secretary, Mr. Irwin Shepard. As the attendance upon the meeting fell below the figures of recent years, so the volume falls considerably below the standard of size set by its recent predecessors. But it contains over eight hundred pages, and proves a valuable repository of current educational opinion. Among the more important subjects discussed are "The Small College," by Presidents Thompson and Harper; "The Problem of the South," by Mr. Booker T. Washington; "Alcohol Physiology," by Dr. W. O. Atwater; and "Educational Progress during the Year," by the late B. A. Hinsdale. NOTES. "Elements of Spoken French," by Mr. Maurice N. Kuhn, is a recent school publication of the American Book Co. The American Book Co. send us "Selections from the Bible," for use in schools, as arranged by Dr. John G. Wright. "Ivanhoe," in two volumes, with pretty colored illustrations, has just been added to the "Temple Classics for Young People." Longfellow's "Evangeline," edited by Dr. Lewis B. Semple, is the latest number in the Macmillan Company's "Pocket English Classics." A new volume by Mr. Edward Dowden, entitled "Puritan and Anglican," will be published this month by Messrs. Henry Holt & Co. "The Structure of the English Sentence," by Miss Lillian G. Kimball, is a recent publication of the American Book Co. It is prepared for use in high and normal schools. Thomas Shelton's translation of “ Don Quixote " fills three volumes in the "Library of English Classics," edited by Mr. A. W. Pollard, and published by the Macmillan Co. The text of 1620 has been followed in this edition. Mr. John Lane is publishing a new edition of "The Spanish Conquest in America," by Sir Arthur Helps. Mr. M. Oppenheim officiates as editor, and the first of the four volumes of which the work consists has just appeared. "Our Bird Friends," described as "a book for all boys and girls," the work of Mr. Richard Kearton, has just been published by Messrs. Cassell & Co. The text is well-written in popular style, and is abundantly and beautifully illustrated. Ruskin's "Sesame and Lilies" and "The King of the Golden River," supplied with an exceptionally good editorial apparatus by Mr. Herbert Bates, is issued by the Macmillan Co. in their "Pocket Series of English Classics" for school use. A second series of "Voyages of the Elizabethan Seamen to America," edited from Hakluyt by Mr. Edward John Payne, and including the narratives of Gilbert, Amadas and Barlow, Cavendish, and Raleigh, has just been published by Mr. Henry Frowde for the Oxford Clarendon Press. Mr. Herbert Spencer's "First Principles," written forty years ago, has been three times revised by the author, and in the edition now published by the Messrs. Appleton, the work reappears in what will doubtless prove its definitive form. A fine portrait of Mr. Spencer dignifies this volume. The "American Art Annual" for 1900-1901, published by Messrs. Noyes, Platt & Co., is the third issue of that useful work of reference. The matter has been brought down to date by the editor, Miss Florence N. Levy, and several new features may be found in the contents of the volume. The "Lyrics" of the late J. Houston Mifflin, rescued from oblivion by a friendly hand, have been republished, with a portrait, by Messrs. Henry T. Coates & Co. The original edition, never strictly published, was dated Philadelphia, 1835. The author died only some ten years ago, but wrote no verse during the last halfcentury of his life. The Rowfant Club of Cleveland will begin in March the publication of a reprint of the famous Boston "Dial" of 1840-44. The sixteen numbers of the original issue will be reproduced in exact facsimile, and a supplementary volume containing an account of the publication by a competent authority, a list of the contributors, and an index, will be supplied. The edition will be limited. Three recent English texts are the following: Addison's "Roger de Coverley Papers," edited by Miss Laura Johnson Wylie, and published by the Globe School Book Co.; selections from Tennyson's "Idylls of the King," edited by Miss Mary F. Willard, and published by the American Book Co.; and Hawthorne's "The Gentle Boy and Other Tales," published in the "Riverside Literature Series" by Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin & Co. LIST OF NEW BOOKS.
