years ago in Florence, that it soon got side-tracked from what should have been its true course, and that it was not until the mighty genius of Wagner appeared in the arena that the long struggle between artistic and inartistic principles was ended. Even the powerful influence of Gluck could not avail to restore the lyrical drama to its own, although after Gluck's epoch-making activity it was only a question of time when the triumph of art over patchwork should be secure. We do not always agree with Mr. Apthorp's estimates of particular composers and works, but his judgment is usually well-fortified, and deserving of respect. A more serious criticism must be directed toward his style, which is often marred by vulgarisms and examples of uncouth phraseology.

The mother of the Salvation Army.

Such a career as Mr. William T.
Stead describes in his "Life of Mrs.

Booth" (Revell) cannot fail to interest every lover of humanity and believer in its eventual salvation. Prefixed by a portrait of the good woman whose virtues it celebrates, the "mother" of the Salvation Army, this small volume, appropriately clad in red, is much more than a mere recitation of events or catalogues of virtues. It contrives to return to this earth something of the personality with which Mrs. Booth once blessed it, making it a good book in much the sense in which she was a good woman satisfied when duty is

done with no nonsense about it. Catherine Mumford was born in 1829; her father was a coach

builder, a keen politician, and a Methodist preacher, and her mother was a believer in the maxim, "If you wish to train a child do it yourself." In 1855 she was married to William Booth, preacher. She was never in good health, but spent no time in complaints, bringing up a large family, and so filling her days with labor that the amount of it can only be estimated in results. Mrs. Booth died in 1890, deeply regretted, but leaving behind her an achievement which fully entitles her to Mr. Stead's title of "a Maker of Modern Britain." At times a little restraint or pruning of enthusiasm might have benefitted the work, but it is in earnest, and is interesting reading throughout.

A comprehensive book on birds.

It requires treatment of an unusual kind to justify so ambitious a title as "The Bird Book" (Heath), but Mrs. Fannie Hardy Eckstorm fairly earns her right to use it by the interesting and original work wherewith she has enlivened the more customary knowledge included with it. It appears to be the design of the author to awaken in her readers the desire to open their and see birds for themselves. To eyes persuade them to alertness of vision she tells of the enchanting things she herself has been able to perceive - with older and wiser eyes, of course, yet with no more skill than falls naturally to the lot of those who will do as they are bid. Some of the chapter titles show the inducements held forth for

observation. One is called "White Blackbirds and Other Freaks"; another, "How Birds are Named"; while a third takes up "The Three Great Problems of Bird Life," which are defined to be "Food, Safety, and Reproduction." The engrossing topic of "Protection by Color" receives adequate consideration, with a most interesting statement of the "law of gradation," recently discovered, and the manner of its demonstration. The book is almost an encyclopædia in its inclusiveness, but lacks the index which would make all its information readily

available.

A modern play.

Mrs. W. K. Clifford calls "The Likeness of the Night" (Macmillan) "A Modern Play in Four Acts,' and modern it is, at least in coming to a conclusion which is tragical to a human soul rather than to a human body. The play, with considerable modification, has been acted by Mr. and Mrs. Kendall, with Miss Madge M'Intosh as the heroine, and is to be placed on the Vienna stage in translation, as we are informed by the little preface. As printed, the dialogue is bright, and in the manner of the modern English school; while the construction of the play appears to owe its skill quite as much to the actors as to Mrs. Clifford's 'prentice hand. The theme is of the sort with which Mrs. Clifford has identified her writing generally. What seems least pleasant about it all is the insistence that convention, standing for race experience, carries with it immediate punishment for all lapses, taking the question away from morality as such, and leaving it a mere matter of social understanding.

A quaint and grewsome sea-taie.

A singularly grewsome old-time tale of the sea is the story of "The Globe Mutiny" (Abbey Press) as told by the two survivors of the adventure, William Lay and Cyrus M. Hussey. The narrative was first published in 1828, and is now reprinted with a facsimile of the old title-page. It would have charmed, and perhaps inspired, Robert Louis Stevenson, who could certainly have supped full of its horrors. The "Globe" was a Nantucket whaler which sailed in 1822 for the Pacific. During the voyage part of the crew mutinied, murdered their officers and some of their shipmates, and then set sail for the Mulgrave Islands, where they landed, and where all of them save Lay and Hussey were subsequently killed either by the natives or their own blood-crazed companions. The story is quaintly and circumstantially told, and contains some curious descriptions of the Mulgrave Islanders.

fresher book of the kind is to be found than the one

NOTES.

"The New Century Standard Letter-Writer," by Dr. Alfred B. Chambers, is a recent popular publication of Messrs. Laird & Lee.

about the book is the kindly and charitable spirit in which it is written. Mr. Goodenough plainly has little patience with the "unco guid" who are always trying to curtail poor Jack's little indulgences- even his " baccy.' "Why," he sarcastically asks," are good people so eager to bring forth supplements of their own to the Ten Commandments?"

Scholarly studies of four great

Like other books by Mr. Frank Preston Stearns which we have had Venetian painters. the pleasure of examining his "Four Great Venetians" (Putnam) well repays reading. This volume contains an account of the lives and works of Giorgione, Titian, Tintoretto, and Paul Veronese, together with an introductory chapter descriptive of the rise of Venetian art, and the methods of its earlier exponents. The four leading essays present a judicious mingling of biographical essentials, criticism, and descriptive analysis of representative works. Mr. Stearns's studies evince a thorough acquaintance with the literature bearing on his subject, and his knowledge of technical processes appears to be superior to that generally possessed by the layman in art. On the whole his book is one which intelligent readers will appreciate for its scholarly independence of view and suggestive freshness of comment. Pictorially it seems to us to fall short of the requirements and deserts of the text, the half-dozen plates being of relatively poor quality.

BRIEFER MENTION.

From the pictorial point of view Estelle M. Hurll's little handbook on Murillo, in the "Riverside Art Series" (Houghton), is very attractive, the seventeen full-page illustrations being both pleasing and representative in subject, and satisfactory mechanically. But Miss Hurll's "interpretations" sink too often to the level of mere prattle about the pictures and the pointing out of qualities too obvious to escape the eye of a child. The work, however, contains some useful tabulated matter, and it forms, at least, a charming picture-book.

"National Legislation Concerning Education: Its Influence and Effect in the Public Land States East of the Mississippi River (Columbia University Press), is a very instructive monograph by Mr. George B. Germann, the same being a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Columbia University. The monograph indicates much painstaking research, is clearly written and logically arranged. It is announced as the forerunner of a more exhaustive study along the same lines. This monograph gathers in compact form a very striking and valuable array of facts, and it ought, therefore, to prove of great interest to all students of education and sociology.

"Australasia: The Commonwealth and New Zea

the "Temple Primers " published by the Macmillan Co. The "Introduction to Sociology," first published five years ago by Mr. Arthur Fairbanks, now appears in a revised edition (the third) from the press of the Messrs. Scribner.

"The Government of Minnesota," by Dr. Frank L. McVey, is a convenient historical and constitutional manual, intended for school use, just published by the Macmillan Co.

"The Messages of Jesus according to the Synoptists," by Dr. Thomas Cuming Hall, has just been published by the Messrs. Scribner in their "Messages of the Bible" series.

Walton's "Complete Angler" and "Lives" filling a single handsome volume, very appropriately take their place in the "Library of English Classics" published by the Messrs. Macmillan.

A new edition of Edgar Allan Poe's complete works, edited by Prof. James A. Harrison of the University of Virginia, and other Poe specialists, is announced by

Messrs. T. Y. Crowell & Co.

A new edition of the "Hudson" Shakespeare, one play to a volume, is in course of publication by Messrs. Ginn & Co. "Macbeth" and "Julius Cæsar" have

just been received by us, each volume neatly bound in

flexible leather covers.

"Selections from the Prose Tales of Edgar Allan Poe" is a "Pocket Classic" published by the Macmillan Co. The text is that of the authoritative edition of Messrs. Stedman and Woodberry, which the publishers have courteously permitted to be used.

"The Influence of the American Revolution upon German Literature" is an interesting study of an interesting subject by Professor James Taft Hatfield and Miss Elfrieda Hochbaum, reprinted in pamphlet form from the pages of "Americana Germanica."

"Songs of Exile," translated from various Hebrew poets by Miss Nina Davis, is a small volume recently issued by the Jewish Publication Society of America. Both the Talmudic and the Midrashic literatures are

represented, but the chief tribute is levied upon the poet Jehudah Halevi.

"A Short Introduction to the Literature of the Bible,” by Mr. Richard Green Moulton, is a recent publication of Messrs. D. C. Heath & Co. It is not an abridgment of the author's "Literary Study of the Bible," but an independent work, although the two books naturally have much in common.

Mr. R. H. Russell publishes a volume of "Stage Lyrics," by Mr. Harry B. Smith. They are very familiar lyrics to the theatre-going public, for they are all taken from the author's librettos and musical comedies. The illustrations are character portraits of the popular stage favorites of the day, and are very numerous.

The revelations of Sig. Benedetti concerning the management of the Villa Giulia Museum, of which some account was given in THE DIAL three months ago, have attracted much attention among archeologists. pamphlet just published in Rome by Herr W. Helbig contains, in Italian translation, upwards of a score of

A

articles that have appeared upon this subject in European and American journals. Condemnation of the methods employed in the management of the Museum in question appears to be general, and the pamphlet before us offers impressive testimony to this fact.

The Macmillan Co. publish a new edition, practically unchanged as to text, of Professor Dean C. Worcester's work on “The Philippine Islands and Their People." Much water has flowed under the bridges since this work first appeared three years ago, but it remains one of the best accounts of land and people, from a scientific point of view, that we have.

A volume of "Songs of All Colleges," compiled and arranged by Messrs. David B. Chamberlain and Karl P. Harrington, is a recent publication of Messrs. Hinds & Noble. This handsome quarto of over two hundred pages includes most of the old favorites, as well as many of the later successes for which one will search the old collections in vain. The book should prove widely popular.

Mr. Herbert E. Walter and Alice Hall Walter have prepared a list of one hundred birds observed in Lincoln Park, Chicago, during the Spring migrations, which they publish in the form of a small pamphlet entitled "Wild Birds in City Parks." It is intended to serve as a help in identifying these transient visitors, and contains many useful hints to that end. It may be obtained of Mr. F. C. Baker, Academy of Sciences, Chicago.

"The Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche," by Miss Grace Neal Dolsen, is an issue of the "Cornell Studies in Philosophy," and offers a fuller exposition than has hitherto been given in the English language of the writings of this vigorous and original thinker. The treatment is reasonably sympathetic, and the interest of the subject is so great that we predict for this essay a wider audience than is usually won by a technical philosophical monograph.

The Baker & Taylor Co.'s Spring announcement list includes the following: "Mr. Chupes and Miss Jenny: The Life Story of Two Robins," by Effie Bignell; a revised edition of "With the Wild Flowers, from Pussy Willow to Thistledown," by Maud Going; "The Next Great Awakening," by Dr. Josiah Strong; "The Creed of Presbyterians," by Rev. Egbert Watson Smith; "My Master," by Swami Vivekananda; and "First Years in Handicraft," by Mr. Walter J. Kenyon.

Professor Mark H. Liddell's "Chaucer," published by the Macmillan Co., is an excellent text for school

use.

It includes the Prologue, "The Knightes Tale," and "The Nonne Prestes Tale," together with an exposition of the principles of Middle English grammar and phonology, a glossary, and notes. Much has been done of late in Chaucer scholarship, and this book, which presents the results of the most recent investigation, is necessarily better than its predecessors, excellent as some of these were in their day.

The "English Readings " published by Messrs. Henry Holt & Co. constitute one of the best series of annotated school texts that have ever been produced. The “Arnold” and “Newman” of Mr. Gates, the “Burke " of Mr. Perry, and the "Byron" of Dr. Carpenter are model books of their kind, and we can bestow a word of similar praise upon the "Swift," recently edited by Mr. F. C. Prescott. "Gulliver" and the "Journal to Stella" are not included in this volume, but the rest of Swift's prose writings are well represented, and the editorial apparatus is all that we could reasonably expect.
