boy into the artist with the closeness of insight of a man who knew and loved his dead friend well, and who knows and loves books. And the fact that they were "chums" together in an Edinburgh school has not lessened Mr. Baildon's critical acumen and made him a blind hero-worshipper. As severe upon Stevenson's faults as the case warrants, he does not stop with the criticism of them, but goes on to a discussion of them as a part of the strangely rich and complex personality of the author. The especial merit of the book, aside from the engaging ease of the style, is perhaps the careful and penetrating sureness of this analysis. All in all, the volume is illuminating and helpful, and certainly it is enjoyable. The bibliography at the end contains a long list of books and articles about Stevenson, but there should be place for this one also. (Wessels.)

BRIEFER MENTION.

A delightful little book in a number of ways is the recent reprint of James Puckle's "The Club; or, a Grey Cap for a Green Head," issued in this country by Messrs. Truslove, Hanson & Comba. To the book itself, an eighteenth-century collection of "moral maxims," little more than an antiquarian interest attaches. The chief concern of the book-lover of to-day with Puckle's "Club" lies in the series of designs made for the edition of 1817 by James Thurston, and cut on wood by some of the foremost engravers of the time. These beautiful examples of an art now almost extinct are carefully reproduced in the present reprint, and together with Mr. Austin Dobson's sparkling introduction and the handsome typography of the Chiswick Press make it a volume to be coveted.

The great literary activity of the Rev. Sabine BaringGould is bound to show itself in carelessness of style and negligence in presenting facts. His "Virgin Saints and Martyrs" (Crowell) shows these unpleasant qualities, quite as much as the wide and curious erudition which is the author's. The main part of the book is drawn from the sixteen-volume "Lives of the Saints" which was completed in 1898, with the later depages voted to that self-sacrificing Englishwoman, Dorothy Wyndlow Pattison, to whom Mr. Baring-Gould accords the honors of beatification or sanctification on his own initiative, under the name of Sister Dora. Many illustrations embellish the present book, most of them excellent wood-cuts after famous paintings.

The following German and French text-books are the latest to appear upon our table: Freytag's "Soll und Haben" (Heath), greatly condensed, and edited by Dr. George T. Files; Herr von Wildenbruch's "Harold" (Heath), edited by Dr. Charles A. Eggert; Storm's "Immensee " (Ann Arbor: Geo. Wahr), edited by Messrs. Hildner and Diekhoff; Schiller's "Wallenstein (Macmillan), edited by Dr. Max Winkler; "Constructive Process for Learning German" (Jenkins), by Dr. Adolphe Dreyspring; "Coeur de Noël" (San Francisco: Robertson), by Sig. L. D. Ventura; Le Tour de la France par Deux Enfants" (Heath), by M. G. Bruno, edited by Dr. C. Fontaine; and “The French Subjunctive Mood" (Heath), by Mr. Charles C. Clarke, Jr.

NOTES.

Mr. Frederic Harrison's Harvard address on "The Writings of King Alfred" is now published in pamphlet form by the Macmillan Co.

Mr. David McKay has just published a new edition, prepared by the Rev. J. Loughran Scott, of Bulfinch's ever-popular "Age of Chivalry."

"Edward Carpenter, Poet and Prophet," is the title of a pamphlet by Mr. Ernest Crosby, just published at the office of the Philadelphia "Conservator."

"A Reading Book in Irish History," by Dr. P. W. Joyce, is a publication of Messrs. Longmans, Green, & Co. It is written for children in and out of school. Don Antonio Gil y Zárate's play of "Guzmán el Bueno," edited by Dr. Sylvester Primer, is a modern language text just published by Messrs. Ginn & Co.

A revised and enlarged edition for 1901 of "Lee's Automobile Annual," the standard reference work on the subject, has just been issued by Messrs. Laird & Lee.

"Stevensoniana" still come from time to time to our desk. The latest volume, of varied contents, both textual and pictorial, is published by Mr. M. F. Mansfield at the Bankside Press.

Miss Lucy Maynard Salmon's "Domestic Service " has gone into a second edition, to which has been added a chapter on domestic service in Europe. The Macmillan Co. are the publishers.

An intimate study of the life and writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, by Mr. John Albee, will be published at once by Robert G. Cooke of New York, under the title "Remembrances of Emerson."

"An Introduction to the Industrial and Social History of England," by Professor Edward P. Cheyney, is published by the Macmillan Co. It is intended for use as a text-book in secondary schools and colleges.

The Princeton Press send us an edition of "The

Elegies of Maximianus," prepared by Mr. Richard Webster, and containing, besides a newly-collated text, an introduction and an elaborate critical commentary.

"The Christian in Hungarian Romance," being a study of Dr. Maurus Jokai's novel "There is a God; or, The People Who Love but Once," by Mr. John Fretwell, is announced for immediate publication by the James H. West Co. of Boston.

"Beowulf" and "The Fight at Finnsburg," translated into English by Dr. John R. Clark Hall, and provided with much critical and explanatory apparatus (pictures included), is a recent English publication supplied in this country by the Macmillan Co.

"Selections from the Poetry of Alexander Pope," edited by Dr. Edward Bliss Reed, and Burke's " Speech on Conciliation with America," edited by Mr. Daniel V. Thompson, are the latest additions to the series of "English Readings" published by Messrs. Henry Holt & Co.

An important collection of English books and pictures will be sold at auction by Williams, Barker & Severn Co., Chicago, on the 20th and 21st of this month.. The sale includes a number of rare first editions of Dickens, Thackeray, Scott, Tennyson, Carlyle, and other English authors.

In view of the approaching Alfred the Great millennial celebration, the two latest additions to the Old South Leaflets are particularly timely and interesting. They consist of the description of Europe which formed

the first chapter in King Alfred's translation of Orosius, and the account of Augustine in England taken from Alfred's version of the Venerable Bede's Ecclesiastical History of the English Nation.

Messrs. Cassell & Co. publish an "Encyclopedia of the Game of Whist," by Sir William Cusack-Smith. It is a booklet of vest pocket size, and the topics are arranged alphabetically. Its doctrine is modern and commendable, save for the author's unaccountable prejudice against the "call for trumps" and the "echo."

The Cambridge University Press has just published, and sent to us through the Messrs. Macmillan, two small books, one of which contains Professor R. C. Jebb's brilliant Cambridge lecture of last summer on Macaulay, and the other of which contains "Two Lectures Introductory to the Study of Poetry," by the Rev. H. C. Beeching.

"The Romance Cycle of Charlemagne and His Peers," by Miss Jessie L. Weston, is No. 10 in Mr. David Nutt's pamphlet series of "Popular Studies in Mythology, Romance, and Folklore." Another series, just started by Mr. Nutt, is entitled "The Ancient East," and has for its first issue "The Realms of the Egyptian Dead," by Dr. K. A. Wiedemann.

An important arrangement has just been completed whereby George M. Hill Company of Chicago become for a term of years the sole publishers of Webster's "Unabridged Dictionary," the copyright of which is owned by G. & C. Merriam Company, the original publishers. A heavy reduction in the price of the work is one of the innovations contemplated.

The series of "Masters in Art," published by the Bates & Guild Co. of Boston, represents an excellent idea intelligently carried out. Each of the monthly issues is devoted to one of the world's great painters or sculptors. The contents comprise ten reproductions in half-tone of the artist's most representative productions, an accurate short account of his life, opinions on his work selected from the world's best critics, and a bibliography and list of paintings. The illustrations are wonderfully good examples of the half-tone process, and the entire make-up of the little magazine is artistic and attractive.

Mr. Francis P. Harper sends us "The Literary Yearbook and Bookman's Directory for 1901," edited by Mr. Herbert Morrah. This is an English work, and, as such, does not appeal directly to the interests of American readers. It contains, however, much matter of general interest, and will not be found without its use for reference in this country. A portrait of the late Bishop of London is given for a frontispiece, and the text includes a directory of authors, another of publishers, still another of booksellers, and much miscellaneous matter upon such subjects as copyright, periodicals, the drama, and literary societies.

A "History of the Christian Religion to the Year Two Hundred," by Judge Charles B. Waite of Chicago, is a work first published about twenty years ago. It has gone through several editions, and the one now before us (the fifth) has had the benefit of a complete revision, owing to the fact that the original plates were destroyed, which made it possible to rewrite the work much more thoroughly than would otherwise have been The work has had a considerable popular vogue, but the author's critical equipment does not seem to be altogether adequate to his task. Messrs. C. V. Waite & Co., Chicago, are the publishers.
