This is the third book about the southwest, a land he knows intimately, that Mr James has contributed to this series. California and Arizona were the subjects of the first books and he has found in New Mexico a theme of equal interest. As set forth in the long subtitle the aspects of New Mexico covered include “the history of its ancient cliff dwellings and pueblos, conquest by the Spaniards, Franciscan missions; personal accounts of the ceremonies, games, social life, and industries of its Indians; a description of its climate, geology, flora and birds, its rivers and forests; a review of its rapid development, land reclamation projects and educational system; with full and accurate accounts of its progressive counties, cities and towns.” Two interesting chapters deal with literature and art and among the illustrations are a number from paintings by artists of the Taos colony. There is a bibliography and the book is indexed.
“Like others of the series, a beautiful picture book.”

In editing these volumes of letters, Mr Percy Lubbock has had a wide field for selection. For, as he says of Henry James, “He was at all times a copious letter-writer, overflowing into swift and easy improvisation to his family and to the many friends with whom he corresponded regularly. His letters have been widely preserved, and several thousands of them have passed through my hands, ranging from his twenty-fifth year until within a few days of his last illness.” (Introd.) In addition to the introduction which opens volume 1, the editor has contributed brief illuminating prefaces to the sections into which the volumes are divided. These divisions, for volume 1, are: First European years: 1869–1874; Paris and London: 1875–1881; The middle years: 1882–1888; Later London years: 1889–1897; and Rye, 1898–1903. Volume 2 comprises: Rye: 1904–1909; Rye and Chelsea: 1910–1914; and The war: 1914–1916. Notes are often provided for individual letters and an index adds to the value of the admirably edited work.

“The portrait they paint of the novelist and his surroundings is so clear that the editor has needed merely to add here and there a prefatory note. These and the introduction are finely appreciative and adequate.”
“The editor, Mr Lubbock, has compassed a dangerous undertaking in his selection and, while he offers many letters which illustrate the social side of his hero, he justly lays stress on the inclusion of literary themes. These letters bid fair to become a classic in English literature.” J. G. Huneker
“Throughout them we find an abundance of literary comment upon his fellow writers which is pungent and vigorous, even if not always convincing.” E. F. E.

“Mr Lubbock tells us that James left behind him scarcely a document that revealed any trace of the origins of his work. Of the origins of his spirit, his point of view, he yields us scarcely more in the way of documentary evidence. One apprehends him here indeed in certain aspects of intimacy as the son, as the brother, as, if not the friend, at least the fellow-artist, as, perhaps most warmly, the uncle. It is only—only—as the man that he foils our question.” V. W. B.
“All the more, however, finding him thus restricted as to race and sympathies and images, do we find ourselves admiring the magnificent passion with which he worked at his art. His famous prefaces to his novels and tales are accepted as an indispensable handbook to the art of fiction. No less may his letters be considered indispensable to those serious students and fellow-artists who wish to observe a genius massively revolving and tirelessly experimenting.” C. V. D.
“I am brash enough to venture the prediction that the best book of Henry James’s, the one with the widest appeal, the one with the most permanent interest, the one most easily read, is not to be found among those which he wrote for publication, but is this collection of his correspondence. What these letters bring before us vividly is a warm-hearted James, devoted to his family and dowered with the gift of friendship.” Brander Matthews
“Whatever has been deleted does not harm that which gives pleasure and delight, surprising us by the clarity and directness of its style and by the warm sentiment of its friendship.”
“For half a century Henry James poured himself out to his friends in letters that are matchless for their prodigal and eager flow of sympathy, their inexhaustible kindliness, their ample and exquisite tenderness, their beautiful generosity. These letters are priceless.” Lawrence Gilman
“We have joked so long about the obscurity of his style as a novelist that this conception of him has become a habit with us. But now that his letters are published, we must alter our portrait.” M. J. Moses
“He has been fortunate in an editor who understands and relishes the peculiarities of the case. There is one general criticism to be made of the exhibition. The letters seem to have been edited, perhaps unconsciously, to emphasize the completeness of James’s English adoption.” S. P. Sherman
“We can only warn the reader who takes up these remarkable volumes that he will not find in them pretty anecdotes or gossip about notabilities: but he will find much excellent criticism and psychology, and he will find copiously and minutely displayed an intellect massive and yet subtle, and a character as nobly dignified as it was humanly attractive.”
“One of the many rich interests of these volumes is to discern the reflection of the person written to, in the letter written.”
JAMES, HENRY.Master Eustace. *$2 (3½c) Seltzer
“The five stories in this volume, together with the four included in ‘A landscape painter,’ appeared originally in American periodicals, but for some unknown reason were never issued by Henry James in book form in this country. The present volume, along with ‘A landscape painter,’ makes accessible to the American public the nine short stories of Henry James which hitherto have been accessible only in English editions of his works.” (Preface) The five stories, all written later than “A landscape painter” are: Master Eustace; Longstaff’s marriage; Théodolinde; A light man; and Benvolio.
“It is not to be imagined that because the stories in this collection are primarily concerned with the interplay of character they are slow-moving narratives, with a tendency to be diffuse. On the contrary, they are well-knit and direct in conception, and executed with richness, deftness in phrase and mood, and a quiet but keen wit.” Lisle Bell
“No one need look for masterpieces among tales that Henry James declined to put between covers. The poorest inclusion in the book, and one of James’s very poorest bits of writing, is ‘Theodolinde.’ The book is valuable but not invaluable.”
“They are written in a style transparently clear and straightforward, and are decidedly romantic in substance and form. Nothing in this book is equal to the stories in the preceding volume.” W: L. Phelps

“It is, naturally enough, less the scientist and thinker than the man which is revealed in ‘The letters of William James,’ now edited, with all the necessary explanatory material by his son Henry James. This is as everybody should wish. For he was one of the greatest Americans in personal qualities as well as in powers of mind and these letters reveal him as he was. The energy and range of his mind and the prodigious richness of his personality are truly revealed in these two volumes. There are not a few valuable critical comments—such as his estimate of Santayana’s ‘Life of reason’—which are not otherwise accessible to the public, and there are no end of vivid impressions brilliantly or tenderly phrased.”—Springf’d Republican
“These letters—arranged in two comely volumes by the sure and skilful hand of William James’s son—are full of wise and occasionally profound little annotations upon contemporary American life and manners. They will be treasured for the simple and delightful bits of self-revelation that they afford.” H: H. Lappin
“Letters rarely disclose so much of a man in his entirety as do these. They are eloquent in manner and equally eloquent in their self-revelation. They are not merely ‘The letters of William James’; they are the record of an epoch in the history of philosophy and the chronicle of a notable family.”
“Although the correspondence with his colleagues all over the world will be perhaps most eagerly read, the family letters are the most beautiful. But there are some letters which should never have been printed. In moments of heat and irritation James said things about persons he met and even about his colleagues at Harvard, which should not have been preserved in cold type.” W: L. Phelps
“Whether we are seeking enjoyment or mental and spiritual uplift, we may approach these letters with assurance.” Joseph Mosher
“As there has been no other American, and indeed, no other man, like William James, so there can never be another collection of letters like his, full of a unique and precious personality. All who care for genius in its most human and most winning manifestations will find the book a treasure-house.”

The author regards the Book of Job as the most celebrated of the books of the Bible and the literary masterpiece of the Old Testament, and the object of the present volume is to aid in the better understanding and appreciation of the original, which has hitherto been blocked by defective translations and insufficient consideration of its composite authorship. The contents of Part 1, The origin, growth and interpretation of the Book of Job, are: The folktale of Job and the Book of Job; The three strata in the Book of Job; Changes and additions within the original Book of Job; How a skeptical book was transformed into a bulwark of orthodoxy; The Book of Job as philosophy and literature. Part 2 is then devoted to a new translation of the Book of Job, with plentiful annotations.
“The work shows wide scholarship and in many passages the new version is impressive and beautiful. Yet, after all is said, in spite of the incorrectness of the King James version, in which, according to Dr Jastrow, one line in ten is wrong, one cannot help liking its style better than that of the new version.” N. H. D.
“Professor Jastrow’s view will have to overcome not only traditional prejudice but also strong emotional attachment to the older view. But his volume is one which students of the Bible cannot ignore.”
“This is a vastly interesting and important book, and it isn’t a book for preachers only, but for everybody who makes any pretence at all to an interest in good literature.” R. S. Lynd

The author holds that the problems of the Near East will continue to be a menace to the peace of the world until they are properly settled; that they cannot be properly settled without the cooperation of America, that America can only help by avoiding two contingencies—political complications and the dispatching of a large army across the sea—that mandatories involve both these contingencies and that the only satisfactory solution lies in the creation of international commissions. The last chapter is devoted entirely to a discussion of this solution. Contents: The failure of European diplomacy in the Near East; The present situation; Mandates not a solution of the eastern question; Internationalism as a solution of the eastern question; Insert map of Europe after the great war.
“The fact that Professor Jastrow’s scheme has not been adopted does not in the least detract from its merits, in these days of flux and change; and a book like his is well worth while, if it helps to educate public opinion in this country on a question that involves us all, whether we like it or not.” C. R. H.
“Optimism breeds optimism. Idealism is contagious. Such noble faith as Dr Jastrow’s is a real world asset.”

As one of its publications the Carnegie endowment for international peace has issued a reprint of “War and peace,” published in 1842, with an introduction by James Brown Scott. William Jay, the author, was the son of John Jay, who helped frame the first peace treaty with Great Britain. Of his plan for maintaining peace, Mr Scott says, “Starting from the premise that we are free agents, that war is an evil, William Jay maintains that the extinction of other evils shows that war itself may be eliminated by the gradual growth of a public opinion against it and by the creation of agencies which nations can create and use just as individuals have created and used them.” The plan he outlines involves the creation of an international tribunal with power to arbitrate.
“The book still has its importance, and the plan proposed has in fact made its way into many treaties.”

“The first two sections deal with French music and German music and The French foundations of present-day keyboard music. Among the composers touched on in two sections called Studies and physiognomies and Sketches for portraits are Massenet, Debussy, Roussel, Chabrier, D’Indy, Chausson, Duparc, Dukas, Ravel, and de Sévérac. A section on Music and poetry contains essays on Baudelaire and music and Verlaine and the musicians; the concluding section is on French music in England; and to this little volume M. Gabriel Fauré adds a preface.” (The Times [London] Lit Sup) “Only the first chapter of the book is new, the others ranging over various periods, and in some cases dating as far back as 1906 and 1907, when the modern French achievement was virtually an unknown quantity in England.” (Ath)
“Makes up in enthusiasm what it lacks in clarity.”
“M. Jean-Aubry is one of those enthusiastic apologists who almost disarm criticism by their sheer ingenuousness. Were it a volume of recent production, and a serious attempt at criticism, one would indeed be compelled to call his judgments in question on almost every page. A pamphlet which was opportune in 1909 may be rather tiresome ten years later.” R. O. M.
“The critical judgments of some of the older chapters and the propagandist tendency make the book somewhat untimely.”
“M. Jean-Aubry has given us the point of view of the modern French composer toward his art. The value of this contribution alone more than offsets any charge of propagandism that the book may bring forth, a charge that is partially refuted by the very fact that much of its contents was written long before the war.” Henrietta Straus
Reviewed by C: H: Meltzer
“This is eminently a book for the layman, for M. Jean-Aubry avoids technicalities.”
“Mr Jean-Aubry is necessarily but not unfairly prejudiced in favor of his native music. Delightful and refreshing are the studies and sketches—for preserving whose charm, by the way, the reader is indebted to the translator, Edwin Evans—of contemporary modern French composers, which occupy the greater portion of the book.”
“The merit of this book is that it is not afraid of pressing into the service of music everything that can be a symbol; its weakness is that positive statements about the music swim rather sparsely in a whirlpool of words.”

There are numerous illustrations and diagrams and the work closes with chronological tables and index.
“Mr Jeffery writes two particularly interesting chapters on the reproductions of the Holy sepulchre as a pilgrim shrine. The illustrations might have been improved, especially in the way of enlargement.”

“The best sketch from a literary point of view, is ‘Angèle, goddess of kindliness.’”
“Beneath all the wounds of circumstance a deep sobriety of spirit curbs the author’s temptation to sacrifice truth to effectiveness and persuades him to set down only the permanent and permanently human.”

“In these sketchily constructed stories, by an officer of the old army, the ugliness of war and the injustices that accompany demobilization are set out with considerable effect and an evident attempt at fairness, though with a tendency towards rhetoric.”

Shell shock and its terrible possibilities are the theme of this story. Before he went to war Arnold Cheyne had been deeply in love with Nadina, a beautiful dancing girl. When the latter, not yet ready to abandon her career, refused him, he entered into a loveless marriage with Sheila Maclaren. Under the influence of shell shock he no longer recognizes Sheila and thinks of Nadina as his wife. The doctor of the hospital, having been told Arnold’s history and his want of love for his real wife, advises Nadina to humor him in his hallucination. With a nervous patient’s cunning Arnold escapes from the hospital and flees with Nadina into Cornwall. There the end is a double murder, the first of the man who has followed the couple, intent on making trouble, and the second, under the influence of a dream taking him back into the horrors of trench warfare, of Nadina herself.
“The symptoms of the hero are well described; but Mr Jenkin lacks literary skill and seems to find it very difficult to cope with his plot.”
“For a book with a live theme, the effect of shell shock and the social and legal problems arising from that effect. ‘The end of a dream’ is amazingly dull.” R. D. W.
“In this vividly written story of the possible effects of shell shock the author has unfolded a dramatic story of intense interest and downright awful power.”
“The last scene is terrible in its realism. The book should certainly be kept out of the hands of sufferers from the milder forms of this affection.”
“Disappointing in effect. The author saddles a plot of undoubted interest and merit with principals of a featureless type.”

“A copiously-illustrated volume, the author of which is professionally associated with the Lancashire and Western sea fisheries joint committee. Dr Jenkins describes from personal knowledge the mystery of the fishers’ craft. An account is given of the methods of fishing adopted in the North sea, and the narrative deals with the rise of the herring fisheries, as well as with the development of steam trawling. Public fisheries for shellfish are described: and an important chapter deals with individual fish, such as the sole, plaice, haddock, and herring. Foreign and colonial fisheries are considered in the last chapter.”—Ath
“This is rather a Gradgrindian book for a compatriot of Charles Dickens to have written. It is full of useful statistics and little else. His photographs carry more of the romance of the sea than his text.”
“We strongly commend Dr Jenkins’s scientific and instructive book to the consideration of all who wish to understand the urgent problem of utilizing the harvest of the sea to the best advantage, though its more controversial parts are no doubt open to discussion.”

When Lord Loudwater is stabbed to death and investigations are begun, it is discovered that there is a quite disconcerting wealth of possible suspects. Lord Loudwater was of such a nature that his actions might supply the motive for murder to any one of his family or household or even remoter connections. For instance, on the day of his murder, he had threatened to divorce his wife, he had quarreled violently with Colonel Grey, who had been seen paying attentions to Lady Loudwater, he had discharged his butler in a fit of anger, and he had halved the allowance of a mysterious woman who had sued him for breach of promise. So the doings of these various people at the time of the murder are thoroughly combed over. When these clues lead to nothing but a blank wall, with the story almost at an end, the suspense is finally ended by the discovery of one forged check which gives the actual murderer away.
“We close the book with a genuine regret that a gift so real as Mr Jepson’s cannot be more economically used.”
“The action never lags, and the ending is rather out of the ordinary.”
“Mr Jepson has not been entirely successful in keeping up the tension of the mystery. There are lapses of several months each in the narrative, which break the emotional flow. But the large number of readers who seek to qualify as amateur Holmeses, Craig Kennedies, and Dupins, by vicarious solutions of murder mysteries, will find plenty of opportunities here.”
“If some of the devices are familiar, most of the characters have—what is rare in novels of the kind—an unmistakable touch of life, and much of the dialogue has—what is still more uncommon—a sprightly turn.”
“A detective story of exceptional merit.”

Mr Jepson’s young heroine has grown up and in this novel appears as a successful dancer. She is on her way to New York when the story opens and her guardian, the Honourable John Ruffin, is traveling by the same boat on business of his own. He has successfully evaded military service and is an object of scorn to all patriotic Britons on board. But of course, as the reader well knows, he is in government service and his business has to do with German spies. Indeed, throughout, the story is more concerned with German spy plots than with Pollyooly’s dancing.
“It has always been our opinion that Mr Edgar Jepson’s best period was that of ‘No. 19’ and ‘The mystery of the myrtles,’ and we regret that he should have bartered his heritage of fantasy touched with horror for machine-made private detectives and angel children who blossom into popular ballerinas.”

The first poem of this collection is based on an old Cornish custom: “In Cornwall, when an unmarried girl dies, she is borne through the streets followed by her girl friends dressed in white and singing a hymn of which the refrain is ‘O happy bride.’” Cornish legend also furnishes the motive for St Ludgvan’s well, The forbidden vision, The droll-teller, and Jennifer, Jennifer. Other titles are: Towers of healing; A little dirge for any soul; Youth renascent; Where beauty stays her foot; Lover’s cry.
“Of contemporaries, Miss Tennyson Jesse is closely related to Mr Bridges. She approaches him in the purity of her verse, the felicity of her phrase, in her rhythm and her descriptive quality. At no point, perhaps, does she attempt or achieve sublimity, but for evenness of accomplishment few living poets surpass her work.”

“In ‘Essays in common sense philosophy’ C. E. M. Joad of Balliol college, Oxford, gives us a rethinking of contemporary metaphysics, in which his titular claim rests on the views that we do actually perceive things as they are, that apparent differences and discontinuities in experience are real and that the Hegelian theory of the state is essentially wrong, inasmuch as the state is only a subordinate institution within the larger whole of human society. The first point is made out on the basis of Meinong’s Gegendstandstheorie, which, even if it be accepted, is not obviously the reasoning of common sense. Similarly, the defense of pluralism, based on Russell’s treatment of relations, comes indeed to the plain man’s conclusion, but by a tortuous path. Two other important essays in this book are those on truth, and on universals.”—Springf’d Republican
“As with all books of this kind, the author’s treatment can be considered adequate only by those who agree with him. To others it will appear that the points neglected by the author are more important than those noticed by him.”
“Mr Joad’s book is readable, interesting, and quite remarkably intelligible. There is an avoidance of technical jargon, and an admirable lucidity. It is a book which can be read with much profit by all who are interested in philosophy without being professional philosophers.” B. R.
“His book, though unsatisfactory to any student of philosophy who possesses a philological conscience and a critical historic sense, does in some sort canvass a number of the problems that we can escape only by refusing to speculate at all. It will serve as well as another to satisfy the commonplace metaphysical instinct. And the student who takes it up for this purpose will receive from it a fair measure of initiation into the study of philosophy, and of orientation and stimulus of his own reflections.”— Paul Shorey
“This book should be widely read. It deserves close and careful study as an indication of the best lines of the metaphysical thought of today.”
“His book is a real stimulus to thought.”
