hand, Miss Maud Howard Peterson has given an international interest to "The Potter and the Clay" (Lothrop), which is described as "a romance of to-day." The argument turns on the honor-in the soldier's sense of one of the two British officers, the American girl's interest in both of them being almost equally balanced until one of them is proved unworthy. The manner in which he redeems himself in a cholera camp in India is well told, and the novel is much above the average in conception and execution. Browning's poem of "The Potter's Wheel" serves as a preface to the book, and the feeling in it is carried through the story.

In selecting the time of Shays's Rebellion in 1786 for the period of "The Duke of Stockbridge" (Silver, Burdett & Co.), the late Edward Bellamy gave himself an opportunity to show with what difficulty the common people, who fought and won the Revolutionary War, reconciled themselves to the government by the rich and self-seeking which they had been forced to overthrow in good part in order to secure national independence. None of his former books show the author to such good advantage in the literary sense, and the work has merit as successfully interpreting the feeling of the period it deals with. It is an interesting and valuable contribution to the growing list of worthy American novels.

Mr. George Gibbs has written, and illustrated himself, a novel dealing with the war between the French and Spanish in Florida and the vicinity, entitling it, "In Search of Mademoiselle" (H. T. Coates & Co.). It is a great advance on the sea stories for boys which have heretofore formed Mr. Gibbs's only contribution to literature, the selection of characters and time showing excellent judgment and the treatment being most interesting. The hero is an English youth who falls in love with a charming French girl of noble birth, whose family is devoted to the reformed religion. When the girl goes to the New World with others of her fellow-believers, the English youth is not far behind. In the story history and romance are pleasantly combined, and the pictures from the author's pencil are really interpretive and attractive.

Comparisons are odious, and that which the publishers institute between Mr. F. Frankfort Moore's new book "Nell Gwyn- Comedian" (Brentano's) and his earlier "The Jessamy Bride seems to confirm the adage. A pleasant and seemly work, the later novel yet lacks the literary charm of the earlier one, and the sweet pathos which attaches itself so readily to the memory of Goldsmith is almost wholly wanting in the account of the rollicking Nell. The story ends cheerfully, and the flavor throughout is that of a corrupt court and none too strict a stage.

The tender romance so predominant in Mrs. Katharine Tynan Hinkson's former stories is not lacking in "A Daughter of the Fields" (A. C. McClurg & Co.), which contains an excellent portrait of a young Irish girl, poor and proud, who returns from an education in France to conditions at home which force her into the active management of a farm. Her landlord is young, and in a short time ardent. The struggle between love and duty, and the continual interplay of sentiment, make the story sweet and true. It is a pleasant contribution to our knowledge of Irish country life.

It is interesting to learn that there are more Unitarians in Transylvania than in the United States, and that the title of Dr. Maurus Jokai's novel "Manasseh" (L. C. Page & Co.) is "Egy az Isten": One is the

Lord, in the original. The translator from the original Hungarian, Mr. Percy Favor Bicknell, relates these facts in his frank Preface, explaining also that he has greatly shortened and simplified his version as compared with Dr. Jokai's own. What remains is nevertheless a well constructed story of love and war, replete with incident belligerent and romantic, and given added value by the knowledge that there were in Europe in 1848 men and women who were willing to shed their blood for that rational belief which is the finality of the Reformation. America knows the Unitarian militant, but rather as a moral than a physical force. Race distinctions between many conflicting peoples are here well drawn, and the work deserves a careful reading.

romancer

Maryland is coming into its own with the colonial Mr. William Henry Babcock's "The Tower of Wye" (H. T. Coates & Co.) being the fourth or fifth story this year dealing with that pleasant commonwealth. We should like to see the one salient fact of the Maryland settlement, the proclamation of religious toleration for the first time in modern history, given more attention; but Mr. Babcock has chosen, instead, to emphasize the quarrels between the followers of Lord Baltimore and Secretary Claiborne. It cannot be doubted that his selection enables him to keep more closely within the limits set by convention for the colonial romance; and he has done even better in making the wonderfulness of the New World, as it appeared to these emigrant Englishmen, one of the notes of his argument.

Too much episode not strictly connected with the development of her plot keeps Mrs. Lucy Cleaver McElroy's "Juletty" (Crowell) from being the story it might have been made. The young man she introduces as her hero is a deputy United States marshal on the lookout for manufacturers of illicit whiskey in Kentucky, the "Pennyrile" district being the scene of his labors. He falls in love with a pretty girl of somewhat lower social status than himself, and the discovery of the "moonshiner " and the final surrender of the maiden to his suit come together in the closing chapter. The interval-is filled up with stories of the war between the States, with the lynching of a negro in which all the "best" citizens of the countryside take part, and with adventures of several sorts.

Few minor characters in history lend themselves better to a certain sort of romance than that of John Gifford, who turned from being a cavalier officer to a pastorship in one of the straightest sects of his day, numbering Charles Stuart and John Bunyan among his friends at the two extremes of his life. Miss Dora M. Jones has made a good selection in taking this remarkable career for elucidation in "A Soldier of the King" (Cassell). John Milton figures in the story for a mo

ment.

The fighting in the Netherlands between the Duke of Alva and the Prince of Orange supplies the historical background for Miss H. C. Bailey's "My Lady of Orange" (Longmans), a stirring romance which preserves much of the horror of the times. There are eight illustrations by Miss C. P. Jacomb-Hood, which add to the value of the book. If one is looking for incessant fighting, it is to be found here.

"The Crow's Nest" (Dodd, Mead & Co.) is not a novel, but a rather slight descriptive narrative of a little garden perched high on the side of the Himalayas, near the city of Simla, which Mr. Kipling discovered the literary possibilities of some time ago. Mrs. Everard

Cotes, the author, is better known to both American and English readers as Sarah Jeanette Duncan; and the chief value of her latest book lies in the new-world eyes with which she regards the rulers of the Indian Empire in the mountain resort which enables them to escape the heat of the plains. Mrs. Cotes planted in her "Crow's Nest" the seeds of a species of goldenrod that she had brought with her from America, and the account of the favorable reception accorded the new delicacy by the bees and butterflies makes interesting reading.

It is somewhat anomalous to come upon a book which is almost wholly lacking in distinction so far as diction is concerned, yet shows from one cover to the other marked originality in the choice of its subject matter. Miss Edith Wyatt's "Every One His Own Way" (McClure, Phillips & Co.) is made up of a series of instantaneous photographs of Chicago life, the subjects drawn largely from the points of contact between the older American and the newer foreign society of the city. Just as a kodak may grasp and hold a scene in which an artist finds delight, so Miss Wyatt sets down little episodes of more than ordinary value to literature; though, as in the case of the artist and the kodak, the means of conveying the episode hardly rises to the dignity of art. There is a tendency to mere cleverness, too, which needs to be subdued; yet the book is in many ways one to deserve attention.

There is always danger of preciousness in the writings of Mr. Richard Le Gallienne, and "The Love Letters of the King; or, The Life Romantic" (Little, Brown, & Co.) is not free from this fault. It is, indeed, the sort of book that only a poet a minor poet could write, filled with little love lyrics in a species of vers libre, and flavored with a transcendental passion, a love of love for love's sake and not at all for the sake of the beloved. The moral, however, is wholesome, for the mild-mannered hero succeeds in divesting himself of the rather silly affair which fills up most of the pages and marrying a worthy woman. The style is rambling, but not incoherent.

More than ordinary regret will be felt after reading "The Grapes of Wrath" (Small, Maynard & Co.) that the author of the book, the late Mary Harriott Norris, should have been taken away in what is evidently her intellectual and literary maturity. The story is an unusually powerful one, concerning itself wholly with the period of the Civil War, and depicting life in a New Jersey village, at a Virginia country seat, among a secret settlement of contrabands, during the denudation of the Shenandoah Valley, and in Richmond just before and after its surrender. Apart from the broad opportunities thus given to interpret history, there is admirable development of character shown throughout the book, and the intricate romance element is well handled. book is impressive and artistic.

The

When Garcilaso de la Vega discovered that his name was not in "Who's Who in 1491," he set about remedying the defect as soon as possible. As a result, after many years of further adventure he accumulated the material which Miss J. Breckenridge Ellis has now set forth in her "Garcilaso" (McClurg). The narrative is a trifle uncertain in its pronouns, running from the first to the third person and back with bewildering speed, but it is sufficiently inclusive to take in a fight with a Moor, a voyage with Columbus, and several other things of the sort. There is an admirably contrived love-story along with the adventure.

A careful study of character, the hero being a Jesuit priest who becomes one of that gallant band of missionaries which Parkman celebrates, supplies the framework of Miss Anna Farquhar's "The Devil's Plough" (L. C. Page & Co.), additional material for a background being drawn from the French Court of Anne of Austria and Mazarin. While there is enough of the sword-andcloak in the book to give it interest, the soul of it lies deeper than mere striking incident, and the development of Gaston L'Artanges the roysterer, into Father Gaston the missionary priest, is worth following. Though New France figures only in the concluding chapter, it affords a fitting close to a story of real merit.

Real humor, of a Stocktonish sort, runs through the pages of Mr. Sydney H. Preston's "The Abandoned Farmer" (Scribner). It is an account of a newspaper man, his delightfully feminine wife, and their quaint little son, all of whom move into the rural districts for the purpose of making money by not spending it. Everything happens at just the right time and in not quite the right way, but still with an ordered intelligence that sets the account of it in a world by itself. The contrast between the city man and the real farmer, the curious twist to the episodes, and the generally wholesomeness of Mr. Preston's work, make his book a welcome addition to our summer reading.

Easily surpassing all her previous work in merit is Mrs. Schuyler Crowninshield's "Valencia's Garden (McClure). The story is that of a little American maid educated in France, out of all knowledge of her native land, and married in a purely conventional way to a man old enough almost to be her grandfather, himself in love with a woman of his own age. Valencia has the most striking adventures, even though she is so far out of the work-a-day world in her husband's old French chateau as to seem cloistered. The book is conspicuous in an almost insistent use of the French language.

A real South African novel, not connected with the war between Britain and the burghers, is welcome at this time, especially when it has nothing to do with racial prejudice. Such a book is to be found in “A Daughter of the Veldt" (Holt), by a new writer, Mr. Basil Marnan. From it may be derived more of the facts concerning the factors now at work in that distant land than from many veracious histories, Kaffirs, Boers, and Britons appearing as they do in life, without exaggeration of either faults and virtues. The heroine is a girl reared in complete ignorance of her parents, though the striking prologue serves to indicate them to the reader. The manner in which, through her own sweetness and strength of character, she finally comes into the heritage she deserves, is excellently told, and the novel is a really striking one.

Modern realism and historical romance are the two extremes which Mr. Louis Evan Shipman has touched in his former writings, and his latest volume, "The Curious Courtship of Kate Poins" (Appleton), arranges itself in the latter category. It is "a romance of the regency," dealing with English society in the days of Beau Brummell and his friend's "fat friend." there are in plenty, and the outcome of the somewhat surprising wooing given the piquant heroine is made doubtful enough to satisfy the most ardent lover of suspense. Vivacity, and an exaggerated courtesy already old-fashioned, add to the attractiveness of the book.

Mrs. Reginald de Koven has aspired to high things in her story of Artaxerxes Longimanus, called "By the

Waters of Babylon" (H. S. Stone & Co.). It is a tragical work with the final catastrophe omitted, a great deal of atmosphere whereby the luxury and ferocity of the day find interpretation, and an admirable plot, failing only in consistency through the failure to carry the tragedy on to a logical close. It shows great improvement in method and manner over Mrs. de Koven's earlier book, though the style is not to be commended so highly as that of her translation of Pierre Loti's "An Iceland Fisherman."

Mr. Payne Erskine in "When the Gates Lift up Their Heads" (Little, Brown, & Co.), has painted two characters, one of them a bright, ambitious, educated young gentleman, the heir to an aristocratic and wealthy grandmother, and the other a colored barber with a certain amount of energy but much more vanity and desire for show, leaving the reader to discover at the close that the two, as in Mark Twain's book, were deliberately exchanged soon after birth by the mother of the colored one. The book brings up a series of reflections concerning environment which make it worthy of consideration, though it is rather more ambitious than successful when viewed as a work of art.

The infamous treatment of American prisoners on board the floating prisons which England used for their retention during the Revolutionary War provides the leading episode in Mrs. Sara B. Kennedy's “Joscelyn Cheshire" (Doubleday, Page & Co.), her hero's escape from it being sufficiently exciting to make the reader draw a deep sigh of relief when the pursued one is safe at last. The heroine, by way of variation from the prevailing type, is not a patriot, but a rabid little Tory.

The heroine who lends her name to Mr. Justin McCarthy's "Mononia, A Love Story of 'Forty-Eight" (Small, Maynard & Co.) is herself named from the province of Munster, as that word was anciently translated into Latin. She is a finely drawn conception, and her father, brother, and lover, with whom the argument is chiefly concerned, share that distinction with her. Mr. McCarthy is able to view the events of which he was formerly a part with the dispassionate eye of age.

"A Novel of Modern Diplomacy," the sub-title of Mr. David Dwight Wells's "Parlous Times" (J. F. Taylor & Co.), describes the volume with accuracy. A man has done a wicked thing, and its results follow him to the bitter end; while two women, with characteristically uncertain motives and certain affections, serve to keep the catastrophe in doubt until the close. Wells shows strength as well as skill in the handling of his unusual material.

Mr.

A curious proof of the popular acceptance of Diedrich Knickerbocker's veracious "History of New York from the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty" is to be found in the "publisher's note" prefixed to Mrs. Jessie Van Zile Belden's "Antonia" (L. C. Page & Co.), wherein a careful explanation is made of the fact that early days in New Amsterdam were not lacking in the strenuous life. The novel is not, perhaps, the best proof of it, for, though there is an abundance of exciting incident, the story is told with a blandness which does not stir the blood. Possibly it is the better summer story on that account.

Through a misapprehension regarding the meaning of the word "Maori," the fact that the scene of Another Woman's Territory" (T. Y. Crowell & Co.) is laid in Australia does not become apparent for some time, New Zealand being the most probable spot for Maori geo

graphical names to obtain currency. This apart, "Alien" has written a story of much force, involving great questions of honesty and intellectual integrity, dealing with the development of a strong man's character, and showing an insight into the feminine heart which stamps the author's sex. That there should be so little flavor of the antipodes in the book, after all, simply goes to show that the problems worked out in it are not those of any one place or time, but of universal application.

"The Career of a Beauty" (Lippincott) is a trifle disappointing, for all "John Strange Winter's "authorship of it. The book begins with one of those miscellaneous families for which the author is famous, and this part is really the best of the story. When it gets to be a question of the war in South Africa, so seriously overworked by British novelists of late, with a little telepathy run in for variety, the story becomes less fascinating.

How closely the two branches of the English-speaking race on the passing frontiers of America and on the existing frontiers of Australia run together is made apparent through "The Wisdom of Esau" (Cassell), by Messrs. C. H. Chumley and R. H. Outhwaite. The book is most readable, portraying as it does a bush fire - the antipodean equivalent of our prairie fire, — and, on the spiritual side, the play of almost unrestrained passion in a rude and pastoral civilization. It calls to mind the breadth of the literary field afforded by the continent of Australia, and how novel it all is so far as American readers are concerned.

Though "A Colonial Cavalier" (Lothrop) is assuredly a romance of the American Revolution, its author, Mr. George Cary Eggleston, is a writer of too much skill to turn his argument upon matters of mere history. He provides an admirable background of fact, and his two young gentlemen and their two young ladies disport themselves before it with great vivacity and good humor. "Jack," one of his heroines, is a really lovable conception. It is a pleasant story of Southern life during troublous times.

Mr. Morgan Robertson has followed his successful volume of sea-tales by a more ambitious and extended work, “Masters of Men, A Story of the New Navy" (Doubleday, Page & Co.). Those who recall his earlier yarn of an officer and enlisted man in the service of the United States, who were "shanghaied" on one of those disgraces to the American flag which are known to sailors as "hell-ships," will find the same theme used for the central episode of this novel. It is as engrossing as any book recently written for fully two-thirds of its length, and it begins to lose there because of the imagined need of bringing girls and love into the argument. We think Mr. Robertson is a writer sufficiently picturesque and graphic to tell a rattling good story without this element of romance.

A sensational story which serves as the frame for an intelligent and instructive dissertation on important questions of the day has been written by Mr. Frederick Upham Adams with the title, "The Kidnapped Millionaires" (Lothrop). A wealthy young New Yorker, who has taken up modern journalism for the fun in it, kidnaps the six richest men in the United States and conveys them to a deserted spot which proves to be on the Gulf coast of Mexico. The party discuss financial and other topics with considerable acumen and entire freedom, the views advanced being occasionally wild, but always intelligent. The book succeeds in conveying the bustle and eagerness which characterize a modern

newspaper office to a really remarkable extent, and is both interesting and amusing.

No one but a poet who has lived close to the heart of Nature could have written such a book as "The Heart of the Ancient Wood" (Silver, Burdett & Co.), and Mr. Charles G. D. Roberts, its author, is to be congratulated for having so successfully translated the delight of life in the wilds into literature. He has succeeded in doing a most difficult thing in this; and one even more difficult in making sympathy for the brute creation a sufficient rival to a human suitor in a woman's love.

The name of Mr. Ellis Meredith is not known to the reader, but his tale of a modern Robinson Crusoe, "The Master-Knot of Human Fate" (Little, Brown, & Co.), deserves attention none the less on that account. It is the story of a man and a woman left on an island after a cataclysm which has submerged nearly all the world except that part of the Rocky Mountains on which they happen to be standing at the time. As Crusoe in his ship, so they, in a little house which survives to them, find the means for supporting life. The book has unusual merit, and the faults in it, such as that of insistent quotation, are abundantly criticized by the characters themselves.

Mr. Joseph Sharts shows a painstaking and a literary grasp that deserve encouragement, in his "Ezra Caine" (H. S. Stone & Co.), though the book contains the autobiography of a maniacal murderer — as displeasing a subject as could well be chosen. Brief as the story is, it still contrives to leave the impression that if such a person were to write down his inmost thought this is surely the manner in which he would do it. Credit for originality belongs to the author, although the horror essential to the narration keeps it from attaining any great height.

War is always fascinating, even in its horrors; and it may be surmised that the war of the American Revolution, being fought for as nearly just a cause as war may have on this earth, is popular on both accounts. "Clay

ton Halowell" (R. F. Fenno & Co.), by Mr. Francis W. Van Praag, obtains more attention than war in its usual forms may command, because the plot turns so largely on the attempt of the hero to ferret out the treason which made Benedict Arnold infamous. A compound love-story runs through the book, with much plotting and counterplotting.

Hypnotism of the most pronounced variety is the mystery behind "The Mysterious Burglar" (F. M. Buckles & Co.), and with that for the turning-point of his artless narrative Mr. George E. Walsh contrives to keep his readers in doubt through the greater part of the story. The account is put in the mouth of a professional burglar who has been taken into the service of the mysterious one. Something seems incongruous in the latter's proceedings, so the real burglar turns detective and eventually proves the truth of an adage too old to require repetition. The story holds the attention and makes small demand on faculties likely to be benumbed by hot weather.

Mr. Clinton Scollard's story of the Mohawk Valley during the Revolutionary campaign that led to the surrender at Saratoga is called "The Son of a Tory" (R. G. Badger & Co.), and has rare merit among books of its kind. Its characters are alive, and bear a close resemblance to the men and women we know to-day. Nearly every historical romance read in late years emphasizes the differences between the people of its day

and those of ours; Mr. Scollard has preferred, rather, to lay stress upon the likenesses. Apart from the interesting episodes which follow the history of that time with substantial accuracy, this choice of treatment gives the book real distinction. Nothing has ever been gained by setting Revolutionary characters and Revolutionary times off by themselves; much is to be gained by bringing them together. Our ancestors were men and women of like passions with ourselves; and we can be grateful to the author for having shown them exactly as they

were.

Mr. Clive Holland's "Mousmé" (Stokes) has the good fortune to appear as the sequel to an earlier success, "My Japanese Wife." The history of the little geisha girl is carried on from the time of her wedding, through a journey to England, and an enforced return to Japan due to the difficulties of the British climate. Mr. Holland's book is an excellent antidote to M. Pierre Loti's "Mme. Chrysantheme," being filled with bright humor and real sentiment.

The loss of the " Essex " in Valparaiso, on March 28, 1814, is the crowning episode of Mr. T. J. Hains's seastory, "The Cruise of the Petrel" (McClure, Phillips & Co.). The author has left the "love interest" where it belongs in a good sea-story-entirely out of it. A pair of villains of the good old sort, and a cheerful suggestion of piracy, make the book undeniably interesting.

Whatever the work of Mr. Guy Boothby may lack in other respects, it is always ingenious. In "The Mystery of the Clasped Hands" (Appleton) a wealthy English painter is sent a box containing the severed hands of a former model of his by way of wedding present, and it takes a modern M. Dupin to unravel the problem of the sender. He is discovered, of course, after the usual process. The book is of the lightest

"David Harum" is presumably responsible for "John Winslow" (Dillingham), a mild reflection of the earlier dialect story of homely village worth. The author, Mr. Henry D. Northrop, has discovered a worthy character in this later hero, and his story is well told.

After wandering in the slough of Mexican politics through a thick volume, Mr. Charles Fleming Embree returns to the better and more distinctive manner of his first book of stories in "A Heart of Flame" (BowenMerrill). The story is a passionate one of the Mexican frontier, - priests, people, a sheriff's posse, and an execution figuring in its pages, beside the strikingly conceived figure of the heroine, Ramoncita. The story has the merit of being inevitable, the scenes of blood and lawlessness being supported by the environment in the most essential manner.

Mr. Edwin Asa Dix has written of New England village life most acceptably in "Old Bowen's Legacy' (The Century Co.). The action turns upon the bequest of an eccentric person, and the types which the author draws of the various people who are involved in the final award are clear and distinct.
