Chapter 33

(Eng ed 20–4448)

“This volume deals with the operations in five theatres of war—Southwest Africa, East Africa, Togoland, Cameroon, and Kiao-chau. Mr Dane has endeavored, with the help of nine sketch maps, to compress the account of them into 205 pages.”—The Times [London] Lit Sup

“On the whole, he has given us, as he claims, a truthful and lucid narrative, sufficient for the general reader, and a useful primer for the student. Mr Dane quotes no authorities and gives no bibliography. He goes out of his way to avoid and paraphrase ordinary military expressions.”

DANIELS, GEORGE WILLIAM.Early English cotton industry; introductory chapter by George Unwin. (Manchester university publications) il *$3.25 (*8s 6d) Longmans 338.4

20–14211

“Mr Daniels, who is senior lecturer in economics in the University of Manchester, was greatly helped in writing this historical sketch of the cotton industry from the sixteenth century to the death of Samuel Crompton by the discovery in the upper storey of one of the mills owned by Messrs O’Connel and Co., Limited, at Ancoats, of a number of ledgers, correspondence files, etc., dealing with their business for the period 1795–1835. Mr Daniels further discovered among the business correspondence of the firm a series of original letters by Crompton, written in 1812 and describing his invention of the ‘mule’ thirty years earlier, which are here reproduced.”—The Times [London] Lit Sup

“Mr Daniels’ researches make a valuable addition to social and industrial history.”

“Apart from these technical details, however, the book is of special value because it shows that the present relations between capital and labour were not the outcome of the factory system, but must be traced much further back.”

DANIELS, JOHN.America via the neighborhood. il *$2 (2c) Harper 325.7

21–170

The volume is one of a series of eleven books on Americanization studies of which Allen T. Burns is general director. Its point of departure is that the essential objective in any program of Americanization is constructive participation in the life of America and that this cannot be attained either by enforced conformity or the equally enforced injection of the English language and a smattering of civics. The general conclusion of the study is that Americanization does not restrict itself to the immigrant alone but to all activities that have to do with neighborhood and community problems and that it is the labor unions, cooperatives and political organizations that bring the immigrant into democratic partnership with the native American. The book is illustrated and the contents are: Americanization and the neighborhood; Inherent forces; Union through racial coherence; Colony pioneering (two chapters); The social settlement approach; The settlement’s larger opportunities; Church, school, and library; Other agencies and the neighborhood principle; Labor unions; Co-operatives; Political organization and government; The outcome.

DARGON, JEAN.Future of aviation, with a preface by M. Etienne Lamy. il *$3 Appleton 629.1

20–3275

“A volume entitled ‘The future of aviation’ contains a translation by Philip Nutt of a work written in French by Jean Dargon. There are nine full-page illustrations in the book, two maps, and numerous diagrams.” (N Y Times) “It is a discussion of the civil as opposed to the military use of the airplane, showing how it depends first of all on structure which aims at endurance and carrying power rather than agility and lightness. The author then considers practical problems; postal service, tourism, international air lines and traffic regulations.”—Booklist

DARK, RICHARD.Quest of the Indies. il *$2.25 Stokes 910 9

The title of the book is used as the symbol for the medieval spirit of adventure and desire for expansion and knowledge of the earth’s surface. Beginning with the Mohammedan invasion of eastern and southern Europe in the sixth and seventh centuries, the book contains brief sketches of the various voyages of exploration and conquest with their leading personalities—which ended in the complete European invasion of the Americas. With illustrations and several early maps of the world the contents are: The mediæval world; The farther East; The heel of Africa; Round the Cape to India; The Portuguese eastern empire; The first voyage of Columbus; Later voyages of Columbus; Central America: discovery of the Pacific; Magellan’s voyage; The conquest of Mexico; The conquest of Peru; Chronological summary, Index.

DARLING, ELTON R.Inorganic chemical synonyms and other useful chemical data. *$1 Van Nostrand 546

19–17188

A work based on a series of articles written for the Chemical Engineer in 1918. It is designed for the student, but the author expresses the belief that it will prove useful to the experienced chemist. Contents: Introduction; The elements; Specific gravity and temperature comparison; Standards of weights and measures; Chemical synonyms (comprising the main body of the book); Cross index of chemical terms. The author is in charge of the industrial chemistry department in the Newark technical school, Newark, N.J.

“An excellent alphabetically-arranged cross-index enables one to identify quickly names which do not indicate the true chemical nature of the compound. As a time-saver, the book deserves the attention of every chemist in contact with the field of industrial chemistry.” A. G. Wikoff

“A good library reference.”

DARLINGTON, W. A.Alf’s button. *$1.75 Stokes

20–12958

By the fortunes of war, it happened that Aladdin’s famous lamp was among a group of curios which were melted up during the late war, and appeared subsequently as buttons for soldiers’ tunics. So it was that Private Alf ‘Iggins, hard at work with his toothbrush on his second button, in preparation for inspection, was amazed and terrified at the sight of a djinn appearing before him, bowing low and asking for orders. He eventually recovered from his terror enough to take advantage of the genie’s powers, aided and abetted by Bill Grant, whose imagination was more riotous than Alf’s. Their adventures with “Eustace,” as they christened the djinn, make up the book. The fact that Eustace often brought an oriental flavor into the carrying out of their wishes proves rather disconcerting to Alf and Bill, and brings them some undesired notoriety.

“The most amusing book I have read this summer is ‘Alf’s button.’” E. L. Pearson

DASENT, ARTHUR IRWIN.[2]Piccadilly in three centuries, with some account of Berkeley Square, and the Haymarket. il *$7 Macmillan 942.1

21–340

“Mr Dasent has examined minutely the ratebooks of St Martin’s-in-the-Fields, St James’s, Westminster, and St George’s, Hanover-square, in which he has followed every house in Piccadilly-place through all its vicissitudes of ownership. Mr Dasent begins his history, so full of noble and historic names, from a humble tailor, one Robert Baker, who in 1612 erected the first buildings upon land covered by the present site of Piccadilly.” (The Times [London] Lit Sup) “Clarendon was the real maker of Piccadilly. The great Clarendon House, which he had barely finished before he went into exile in 1667, was the first of the Piccadilly mansions. Moreover, Clarendon sold to Lord Berkeley the site of the present Devonshire House, to Sir William Pulteney the site of Bath House, and to Sir John Denham, poet and architect, the site of Burlington House and the Albany. But Clarendon had made Piccadilly a fashionable place of residence. Mr Dasent has illustrated his book with some highly interesting old prints.” (Spec)

“His style is slipshod, he has no sense of literary values, and the result is merely a collection of odds and ends about the people and places associated with Piccadilly and its surroundings. His book is, therefore, without form, but it is by no means void, since its intrinsic interest and its scenes of ancient days reproduced in its illustrations have a permanent value as records, the entire volume bringing together a large amount of information not easily accessible elsewhere.” E. F. Edgett

Reviewed by E. L. Pearson

“A pleasant and discursive book.”

“If this book, considered from a literary point of view, is not so attractive as Mr Street’s well-known ‘Ghosts of Piccadilly,’ it is an excellent piece of that anecdotic antiquarianism which keeps one sitting in an armchair turning over just one more page long after one ought to be in bed.”

DAVID, CHARLES WENDELL.[2]Robert Curthose, duke of Normandy. *$3 Harvard univ. press

20–23204

“The eldest son of William the Conqueror, cheated of a kingdom by his more aggressive brothers, defeated in battle, deprived of his duchy, and condemned to perpetual imprisonment, would hardly be selected as one of the heroic figures of French history. The reason for this monograph is not so much the personality of its subject as the fact that he was associated in his lifetime with great names and great events. Dr David has attempted in this study of Duke Robert’s career to set him in his true relation to the history of Normandy and England and of the First crusade.”—R of Rs

“An admirable index completes a remarkable study of a period of early English history seldom discussed.” E. J. C.

DAVIES, ELLEN CHIVERS.Boy in Serbia. il *$1.50 (5c) Crowell 914.97

20–15466

The author of “Tales of Serbian life” has written this story to set forth some of the everyday manners and customs of Serbia. It is told in the first person by Milosav, who describes Simple village life, Playtime, First days at school, How St Sava’s day is kept, etc. There is a colored frontispiece with other illustrations from photographs.

“Charmingly simple, dignified and instructive and filled with a joyous appreciation of home and country.”

“Rarely well told.” M. H. B. Mussey

DAVIES, ELLEN CHIVERS.Ward tales. (On active service ser.) *$1.25 (3c) Lane

20–10369

These tales from a military hospital by a V. A. D. show chiefly the humorous side and the comic happenings in surroundings so gruesome. There is just enough sadness in these pictures to give a background to the brighter moments in a nurse’s life. The tales are: In the ward kitchen; “Eye-wash”; A conference of the powers; Visiting day; After hours; The tale of a shirt; The night round; Going to the pictures.

“There is nothing of the grim or the harrowing, though there is an occasional touch of finely restrained pathos.”

DAVIES, GEORGE REGINALD.National evolution. (National social science ser.) *75c McClurg 301

20–1609

“This book traces the development of human societies through the stages of primitive culture, Christian civilization and modern capitalism; ends with a consideration of the best basis for national progress. The book is a condensation of social theories, the only original point being ‘an attempt to harmonize the cultural theory of history with the concrete workings of economic law.’ Chapter bibliographies.”—Booklist

“This brief, concise work is on the whole sound and constructive and will be of special value to the reader whose time is limited.” G. S. Dow

“‘National evolution’ is a distinct contribution to the National social science series.”

“The forecasts of the author are reasonable and, on the whole, convincing.”

DAVIESS, MARIA THOMPSON.Matrix. il *$1.75 (5c) Century

20–3881

The story is the romance of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks, father and mother of Abraham Lincoln, put together by the author from legends and documentary evidence and woven into a work of fiction portraying pioneer life in the bluegrass valley of Kentucky, illumined by faith, love and courage. It throws a halo around the head of Lincoln’s mother and shows us his father as the first martyr to the cause of abolition.

“It is quite fitting that the story of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks should be written by an author who comes from the ‘blue grass country’ herself. She is able to bring to it that inherited tradition which is so difficult for an outsider to achieve.”

“The author occasionally lapses into primer-technique. A maturer style could have given form to a more enduring romance.”

“It has a certain stiffness, as if the task of weaving history and legend and surmise into a consistent and interesting story were a somewhat hampering business to the author. She has, however, succeeded in presenting a clear and evidently carefully drawn sketch of this particular period of American history.”

“It seems to us that the author has made the life of their community focus on these two young people almost too persistently, for whatever their foreordained place in history, they must have been to their neighbors ‘just folks.’ City dwellers who love the simple life will find a breathing space in this pioneer tale.” E. C. Webb

“It is not the author’s fault if she has produced a pious memorial rather than a living portrait.” H. W. Boynton

DAVIS, FRANKLYN PIERRE, ed.[2]Anthology of newspaper verse for 1919, and year book of newspaper poetry. $2.50 The author. Enid, Okla. 811.08

20–15478

“Franklyn Pierre Davis of Enid, Okla. carries the anthologizing tendency a step further by editing an ‘Anthology of newspaper verse for 1919 and year book of newspaper poetry.’ Selections are made from a list of papers nationwide in range, and include topical poems, light verse and serious poetry. The editor says: ‘I hope to be able to present annually the best of the verse published in the newspapers in a volume which may preserve for the future the real sentiment of the American people and the true ideals of American life.’”—Springf’d Republican

“If the fact be excepted that Mr Davis has done his job rather badly, one can have nothing but admiration for his endeavor. The idea is mentally invigorating and susceptible of many admirable procedures. It is the editor’s own fault that he has not carried it out in a sufficiently comprehensive manner.” H. S. Gorman

DAVIS, JAMES FRANCIS.Chinese label. il *$1.75 (2c) Little

20–6429

San Antonio is the scene of this smuggling story and Julian Napier is the special secret service agent sent down from Washington to catch the smugglers. Besides opium, he is on the lookout for two diamonds of great value. A Mexican, a Turk, several Chinese, a beautiful Armenian woman, a lovely American girl and her father, all are implicated in the plot. Clever team work between Napier and the Texas rangers results in the taking of one diamond, and the other is captured in a spectacular raid on the headquarters of the Chinese society which was also doing a big opium business. In this raid the poor dope fiend which the American girl’s father had become met his death like a man, leaving Ruth to be comforted by Julian.

“The whole affair is treated lightly, without pretense that it is anything more than an amusing yarn; and this is refreshing.” H. W. Boynton

“It all runs logically and with a degree of reserve for which the reader is grateful. There would be opportunities for the writer to run amuck, as it were, if he would, but he is artist enough to understand that the best dramatic effect often can be attained by piquing the imagination rather than by laying on the crimson paint with a whitewash brush.”

DAVIS, MALCOLM W.Open gates to Russia. il *$2 (2½c) Harper 914.7

20–1610

The author pleads for fair dealing and friendliness and co-operation with Russia in the accomplishment of her great task of reconstruction, and the object of the book is to point out the practical ways and means by which mutually satisfactory relationship can be achieved between Russia and America. The book falls into four parts: The new importance of Russia; Russia’s immediate necessities; Russia’s enduring needs; The interest of Russia. “The first part is a consideration of the question of recent relationships and the attitudes which they have created. The second ... of the important opportunities in trade and industry. The third points out social opportunities, in which considerable opportunities for commercial enterprise are also involved. Finally, the last part is an answer to some American misconceptions of Russia and a description of the real Russia for Americans who wish to know her.” (Chapter 1: America’s attitude toward awakened Russia)

“It is intensely practical, and for that very reason has value at the moment beyond the larger number of books upon Russia.”

“Business men who plan to expand their export trade will find these pages a mine of information. The conditions and needs are presented in detail, and valuable suggestions for the conduct of trade with Russia are given.”

Reviewed by Jacob Zeitlin

“It is gratifying to come across a book that is so clear in its recital of facts as the one Davis has given us. It is in all a volume worth reading.” Alvin Winston

“The five chapters under the general title, Russia’s enduring needs, are of great value, and of special interest is the one relating to The liberated influence of woman.”

“It will be perhaps especially suggestive to the American who contemplates opening business relations with Russia, but it is a valuable addition to the library of any layman interested in social, economic, and intellectual conditions in Russia today.”

“The volume is one that challenges our present individual indifference to the Russia of today and of the future.”

“It should not be neglected by anyone interested in commercial or other relationships with Russia.” Reed Lewis

DAVIS, NORAH.Other woman. *$1.75 (1c) Century

20–9140

In this story of dual personality a man, Langdom Kirven, after excessive fatigue and brain-fag, loses himself and consciousness, and wakes up in a hospital another man. In the morning he had said good-bye to his wife and little son and taken a train to New York. The new man is a crook and a criminal, albeit a genius. After seven years his one-time bosom friend and business partner, Spencer Ellis, finds him on a bench in the park, a down and out tramp. Ellis recognizes Kirven and implores him to return to his old life. But there is no memory in Kirven, now John Gorham, and Ellis is at last forced to believe that the external resemblance hides a strange personality. But he gives Gorham a chance to retrieve his fall in fortunes, which the latter does with bold and doubtful business methods. He also falls passionately in love with Naomi, Ellis’ cousin. One morning after another crisis, John Gorham has fled with all memory of himself and a bewildered Kirven awakens in the latter’s office. After this a succession of alternations follows, each one leaving the subject and his friends more bewildered and perplexed than ever. At last an eminent physician finds the way out. The split personality can be unified by a complete realization of the situation and henceforth Langdom Kirven can go through the remainder of his life whole, although cursed with a continuous memory.

“Somewhat melodramatic and rather long drawn out, but cleverly managed. Will appeal to those who read for plot interest.”

“It is a difficult piece of work which is admirably well done.” D. L. M.

“Miss Davis has handled her material very well indeed, with much ingenuity of invention and with commendable care in the working out of her great amount of detail and complication. The novel is a good piece of literary workmanship in construction and development.”

DAVIS, PHILIP, and SCHWARTZ, BERTHA, comps. Immigration and Americanization. $4 (1½c) Ginn 325.7

20–4542

The book is a compilation of selected readings, on the title subject. It “aims to cover the field of immigration and Americanization from every possible point of view, subject to the limits of a single volume. It is particularly designed to meet the needs of high schools, colleges universities, and chautauquas, which have been frequently at a loss in recommending to the student, investigator, official, or general public a handbook on these twin topics.” (Preface) The selections have been arranged chronologically and include some of the most recent contributions on the subject from writers including Jane Addams, Edward Everett, Henry Cabot Lodge, Emily Greene Balch, Edward A. Steiner, E. A. Goldenweiser, Paul U. Kellogg, John Mitchell, Edward Alsworth Ross, Edward T. Devine, Lillian D. Wald, J. E. Milholland, Samuel Gompers, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin K. Lane, Louis D. Brandeis, Theodore Roosevelt. The contents are in two parts. In book 1 the selections are classified under: History; Causes; Characteristics; The new immigration; Effects; Immigration legislation. Book 2 contains: Americanization: policies and programs; Distribution; Education; Naturalization and citizenship; Americanism. There is an appendix, a bibliography and an index.

“The book should be of value to both the general reader and the special student.”

“The compilers have exercised diligence and judgment, but with a few exceptions the selections lack the ‘human touch.’ It would appear that an undue proportion of space is allotted to the new immigration, even admitting that from the standpoint of the present time and the Americanization worker greater emphasis is justifiable.” G: M. Stephenson

DAVIS, WILLIAM STEARNS.History of France; from the earliest times to the treaty of Versailles. il *$3.50 (2c) Houghton 944

19–19268

For descriptive note see Annual for 1919.

“Professor Davis has the knack of vivid and fluent narrative. The tale reads well and is interesting. The author makes the great figures of French history appear living.” C. H. C. Wright

“An interesting feature of the story is that which tells of the relation of France to the crusades. There is an extremely interesting account of life in France in the feudal ages. The story of the revolution is told rapidly, but with great brilliancy. As a single volume history of France this must take its place in the foremost rank.” E. J. C.

“Though one can clearly discern the author’s purpose of presenting his facts fairly and with due justice to all, he has not perfectly understood the spirit and ideals that have made France. Early and mediæval France cannot be judged by the ideals of modern American Protestantism.”

“His limited space excludes detailed interpretation of separate events, and the author is also compelled to give only the most perfunctory notice to the economic phenomena which are associated with various stages of French history. On the political side, however, the work is reasonably complete, and Professor Davis shows an excellent sense of proportion in laying special stress upon what may be called the revolutionary era of French history.” W: H: Chamberlin

“The book is much more than a mere history; it is a colorful romance, with a splendid nation as a background, and most of the characters cast in a heroic mold.”

“The present volume is, so far as we know, the only truly comprehensive history of France. Aside from its comprehensiveness, the text has been clearly and compactly written by one who has an enviable knowledge of sources.”

“Though very sympathetic to his subject, and though he often animadverts to the ravages of the Hun in the present when telling of the past, his tone is scholarly and his attitude sufficiently impartial. Mr Davis has added an excellent select bibliography. Unfortunately, there is almost nothing of French literature and art.”

“This book becomes at once the standard single-volume history of France in the English language.”

“Not the least attractive feature of the book is the excellent diction. Many of the illustrations are reproductions of rare prints and paintings, and they greatly enhance the value of the work, which is, indeed, a modern and trustworthy textbook.”

“A treatise on the development and transmission of power by compressed air for engineers and draughtsmen, and for students of applied science.” (Sub-title) “The compression, expansion, exhaust, and flow of air and gases are very fully dealt with, formulae deduced for making the necessary computations, and practical examples solved to assist those concerned in the design and use of compressed air plant and machines.” (Preface) The book has seventy-five illustrations, forty tables and numerous worked out examples, and is indexed. The authors are members of the Institution of mining and metallurgy [of Great Britain].

DAWSON, CONINGSBY WILLIAM.Little house. il *$1.50 (9c) Lane

20–16158

The little house tells its own story. It is a very old and empty little house, as it stands in “Dolls’ House Square” in London, and on the nights of air-raids and bombing, it is a very frightened little house. But it is not too frightened to give shelter to others who are afraid, too, and so one night when “the little lady who needed to be loved, but did not know it,” crept in, with her two little children, they are amply protected. And presently, “the wounded officer who wanted rest,” looking for a haven from the raid sought it too in the little house. Then the officer goes off to war, and the little lady comes to live in the house. After the armistice, the officer returns, and, again in the shelter of the little house, finds the rest he craves more than ever, and “the little lady” receives the love she needs. And the little house feels that its part in the romance has not been inconsiderable.

“By making the house in question narrate the scenes its walls have witnessed. Mr Coningsby Dawson has aimed, not too successfully, at imparting a Hans Andersen atmosphere to occurrences which have not much in common with the traditional material of fairy-tale.”

“A story which has a real Christmas flavor and which would warm the heart of anybody whatever is ‘The little house.’” Margaret Ashmun

“The story has a charm as elusive as the appealing quality that won so many followers for Maude Adams. It is as endearing as ‘Roaming in the gloaming’ or ‘Comin’ through the rye.’ In it sentiment keeps clear of sentimentality.”

“‘The little house’ is really a Christmas story—and a very delightful and charming one. The fanciful manner in which the story is told by the old house in which the scenes take place is beautifully conceived and finely carried out.”

“Mr Dawson has chosen a rather childish allegory as his method, although, after having read the book, one may look at a house with a slightly more human feeling of childish fancy. The redeeming feature of the book is the atmosphere of old London. Aside from these glimpses of old London, ‘The little house’ is hardly more than a sweet book for sweet people.”

“For all its pretty sentiment (or, rather, because of it), the whole thing is a pure ‘machine,’ the working of which Mr Dawson has mastered under western influences.”

DAWSON, EDGAR.Organized self-government. il *$1.40 Holt 353

20–10285

The object of this volume is to serve as a school text-book in teaching government, organized and political cooperation, the functions of government and the problems to be met by those who perform those functions. It is to arouse the child’s interest in government as a practical subject and to open his eyes to noticing its effects in the street, in the home, in the school. This latter purpose, more especially, is to be accomplished by the suggestions and questions at the end of each chapter. The contents are in five parts. Part I, Elements of self-government, shows how voluntary cooperation depends on parliamentary law, rules and legislation, rulers and officers, and a constitution. Part II, Self-government in cities, applies these elements to all the details of city government; Parts III and IV do the same for the states and the United States. Part V, Some general ideas about self-government, has chapters on: Socialism and capitalism; Parties and leaders; Organized government; and Real international law. In the appendix some of the accepted principles of political cooperation are discussed, i.e. the short ballot principle; civil service reform; the executive budget; the principle of responsible leadership; etc.

“The book is sure to take its place among the few best ones in its field.”

DAWSON, RICHARD.Red terror and green: the Sinn-Fein-bolshevist movement. *$2.50 Dutton 941.5

20–5381

“Mr Dawson builds his thesis that Sinn Fein is Bolshevism by quoting Sinn Fein leaders, and refers the reader to name, page, date of his authority. He goes back to the earliest attempts of Ireland to free herself from England, and traces the whole movement, the influences behind it and the work of the leaders who led, up to today, when the new (Irish) nationalism ‘starting with lofty ideals of national regeneration on the old lines of the ancient culture, begins to seek its inspirations from modern sources of unspeakable corruption.’”—Boston Transcript

“Will not please those who take the opposite stand, but worth while as a well done presentation of the objections to Ireland’s attitude.”

“As a polemical writer Mr Dawson is a comfort because his proofs are not of the unidentified sort so common in the mouths of platform orators. He does not employ vituperation as argument nor blackguarding as punctuation. ‘Red terror and green’ is a timely, excellent guide book to the present meaning and purpose of Sinn Fein.” W. R. B.

“So evidently prepared from the standpoint of reactionery British interests as to become propaganda in its most palpable and, therefore, most useless form.”

Reviewed by Preserved Smith

“The intrigues of Casement with the Germans make excellent material for building up a theory that Sinn Fein was part of a German plot, and in a world torn by Bolshevism it is plausible to suggest that Sinn Fein emissaries have been seeking to combine the forces of disorder at home with the agencies of disorder in other countries. But Mr Dawson will not easily convince those who know rural Ireland that its peasantry—now bitterly Sinn Fein—are now or were ever bolshevistic.” H. L. Stewart

“The reader will be impressed rather by the care with which the author has followed Irish events than by his insight into the psychic and temperamental change which has affected the Irish people during the period which he reviews.”
