“Thus, the book is not made up of official statistics, but is the fruit of personal meetings with women and visits to the scenes of their occupations.”
“The art of making what has appealed to herself appeal to her reader has been mastered by Miss McCracken.”
McCutcheon, George Barr (Richard Greaves, pseud.).Nedra.†$1.50. Dodd.
The elopement of a young couple from Chicago who start for the Philippines via New York and London, travelling as brother and sister, forms the basis of this story which is turned into an amusing extravaganza by a ship wreck in mid-ocean which leaves the hero stranded upon the island of Nedra with a new heroine, a girl whom he has rescued by mistake.
“He has given us the kind of story Americans like, incredible, daring, delightful and a little absurd.”
*“Like most of Mr. McCutcheon’s novels, ‘Nedra’ is not a matter for critical appreciation. One may say it is ‘apart’ from it rather than ‘beneath it.’”
“It belongs to the novels of recreation pure and simple, and well fulfills its purpose of robbing the reader of the sense of time.”
“The story is lively, entertaining, and very improbable.”
McCutcheon, George Barr (Richard Greaves, pseud.).Purple parasol; with il. by Harrison Fisher, and decorations by C: B. Falls.†$1.25. Dodd.
The owner of a purple parasol, a gray dress and a sailor hat is shadowed by a young lawyer who hopes to pile up evidence for a divorce case against the erring wife of an old husband. The story becomes a romance when the owner of the parasol turns out to be a young and beautiful girl.
“Has the merit of lightness and brevity.”
“A slight and rather foolish story.”
McCutcheon, John Tinney.Mysterious stranger and other cartoons.*$1.50. McClure.
Over one hundred and fifty cartoons which have appeared during the past year or so in the Chicago Tribune are gathered into this volume. The author expresses the hope that his drawings “may have a permanent interest because of the great historical importance of the period they encompass” but aside from political matters much space is given to genial take-offs of President Roosevelt as bear-hunter and glad-hander, and satires of child life.
*“As a comic history of our own times they are not without value.”
*“The cartoons are well worth embodying in a form less transient than the pages of a daily newspaper.”
“Preserves too much that is trivial and vulgar (not in the most odious sense), and would have been the better for a severe screening. On the whole we find the collection rather dreary.”
MacDonnell, John de Courcy.King Leopold II., his rule in Belgium and the Congo.*$6. Cassell.
The main object of this book “is to tell once more the story of the origin and progress and methods of government of the Congo Free State, and to refute the charge that Leopold has not fulfilled the pledges made under the Berlin act.” (Nation).
“The writer’s arguments, however, are not convincing, and we wish we could attribute their unreality to ignorance of the subject in hand.”
“The weakness of the book is its redundancy and its tendency to exalt into great virtues the king’s most commonplace actions. Its attenuated special pleading minimises but does not destroy whatever usefulness as a record it may possess.”
McDougall, W.Physiological psychology.*40c. Macmillan.
This “tiny little volume ... presents a clear account ... of the elements of scientific psychology, and is thoroughly up to date.”—Acad.
“Small and unambitious though it be, this book is worth more than the little space it would fill in the library of the student of mind.”
*McFadyen, John Edgar.Introduction to the Old Testament.$1.75. Armstrong.
“Mr. McFadyen sums up accurately and concisely the established results in regard to each book of the Old Testament, avoiding positive assertion where the facts do not warrant it. The inexpert reader will get from this book in a small compass a clear idea of the results of criticism and also of the common-sense method by which they have been arrived at.”—Acad.
*“Mr. McFadyen writes in a most interesting style: and successfully brings out both the human interest and the religious value of the several books.”
MacFarland, Charles Stedman.Jesus and the prophets; an historical, exegetical, and interpretative discussion of the use of the Old Testament prophecy by Jesus and his attitude towards it.**$1.50. Putnam.
“Holding Jesus to be more than a prophet, Dr. MacFarland sees that he was called to the work of a prophet, to meet a spiritual exigency, as the ancient prophets in their time had done.... As Jesus’ disciples misunderstood the prophets, so they misunderstood and still misunderstand his use of them.” (Outlook.) The author is a Congregational minister.
“No one should hereafter use Dr. Briggs’s or any of the older works on Messianic prophecy as authorities without parallel reference to this newer treatise.”
*“A careful and scholarly examination of the relation of Jesus to Old Testament prophecy.”
“Dr. MacFarland’s work is of unusual importance for the setting right and clarifying of erroneous and confused notions, an excellent specimen of the application of critical method for the realization of religious values.”
Macfarlane, Isabella.Royal knight: a tale of Nuremburg.†$1.25. Dillingham.
A story of 15th century Nuremburg, and of twin sisters of a poor and widowed mother, one betrothed to a wool-merchant’s son, the other, loved by a young German officer whose father is chief magistrate. Because the girl holds her honor above her love, the magistrate’s son attempts to force her consent by accusing her mother of witchcraft. Imprisonment and torture follow, but thru the loyalty of the daughters and the advent of their champion, who is no other than Emperor Maximilian, all ends happily.
Macfarlane, Walter.Laboratory notes on practical metallurgy: being a graduated series of exercises.*80c. Longmans.
“This little book is apparently intended as a first course for beginners in practical work in a metallurgical laboratory.... It consists of a series of practical exercises, all well within the grasp of the average boy, graduated and well arranged with a view of developing the habit of observation.... The student is introduced to furnace work.... The preparation of the ordinary common alloys follows.... Later, the more complex subject of the principles on which the process for the extraction of copper, lead, gold, and silver from their ores depend is dealt with. The book concludes with a few elementary exercises in assaying gold and silver ores, and the analysis of coal and coke.”—Nature.
“The book contains much useful information for junior students, and can be recommended for their use.”
MacGowan, Alice, and Cooke, Grace MacGowan.Return: a story of the sea islands in 1739.†$1.50. Page.
In a stirring romance the authors reproduce people and scenes of colonial South Carolina and Georgia. In it Diana Chaters, the belle of Charleston, and a young Virginian of the historic family of Marshall figure prominently. This heroine, “the heartless coquette, is publicly jilted as the result of a brutal wager. How she takes her shame, and how she builds it into her life, is told by the authors with skill and upon somewhat new lines.” (Outlook.)
“‘Return’ is a capital love-story, one of the very best romantic novels of the year.”
*“For the most part the story develops naturally, the characters have actual personality, and the savour of romance is well maintained.”
“The book is written in an excellent literary style.”
“A capital tale of love and adventure.”
“A book of fresh, wholesome romance.”
“A love-story with plenty of color and movement. It is all very well done, vivid, dramatic; but the story is too overcrowded with characters; there are too many side issues. Not a little excision as well as condensation would have greatly improved a vigorous story.”
“A story with original strength and some novel situations. The characters are admirably individualized, the action is lively, and the whole picture excellently drawn.”
“‘Return’ is a well told tale, and interesting from the first line.”
“It is difficult to conceive of a story in which the element of picturesqueness enters more effectively.”
MacGrath, Harold.Enchantment.†75c. Bobbs.
A group of Mr. MacGrath’s short stories which abound in daringly novel situations. The five are “A night’s enchantment.” the adventure of the lady in the closed carriage, “The blind madonna,” the adventure of the golden louis, “No Cinderella,” the adventure of the satin slipper, “Two candidates,” the adventure in love and politics, and “The enchanted hat,” the adventure of my lady’s letter.
“Without being in any way remarkable ... will provide amusement and entertainment.”
“Is a collection of five of Mr. MacGrath’s stories—good ones too.”
*MacGrath, Harold.Hearts and masks.†$1.50. Bobbs.
The sprightly record of a night’s adventure in which the principal participants bent upon attending a masked ball thru a fluke are mistaken for clever thieves. The plot which thickens about the innocent imposters for a time, and which is later cleared up, furnishes an exciting hour for the most sated fiction appetite.
*“Constructed with an art that holds the reader’s interest from the first page to the last.”
*“It is a book to be read in a half hour, but it contains adventure enough to last a lifetime.”
MacGrath, Harold.Princess elopes.†75c. Bobbs.
The chief figures in this story of rapid action are the madcap Princess of Barscheit, her grumpy uncle intent upon a suitable marriage for her, and a young American medical student. The American consul tells the story of a series of adventures capped by the princess’s escape from marrying the redfaced Prince of Doppelkinn. That she finds the young American with her on this journey is certainly not distressing to her, and that he turns out to be the long lost heir of Doppelkinn and a much worthier suitor than the father are facts which atone for her matrimonial hardships.
“This tale ... will be found altogether diverting, if not convincingly real.”
Mach, Edmund Robert Otto von.Handbook of Greek and Roman sculpture, to accompany a collection of reproductions of Greek and Roman sculpture.*$1.50. Bureau of University travel.
“Dr. von Mach’s book is not a ‘handbook’ in the ordinary sense of the word, but a descriptive catalogue of five hundred plates and forty-five text illustrations representing works of Greek and Roman sculpture.... The description and discussion of each work is preceded by a note giving the material, place, and date of discovery when known, museum or other collection in which the work is now preserved, and some bibliographical information.”—Nation.
“The author shows in this book the excellencies of his former work. He states his conclusions boldly and independently.”
“Certainly Dr. von Mach’s style leaves much to be desired. While we cannot recommend Dr. von Mach as a perfectly wise guide to such as wish to know Greek art, we are glad to express our belief that the university prints, accompanied by this handbook, will be of great service to the student.”
McIvor, Allan, pseud.Overlord. $1.50. W. Ritchie.
This story of the peons of Canada is a frankly unhistorical tale of the freeing of Canada from England in a great war in which the “Habitans” and serfs under the leadership of the overlord defeat “Pitchener,” the English general. The overlord, aside from his feudal ownership along the upper St. Lawrence, owns several United States railroads, consequently the president, tho ostensibly neutral, aids him, and in return receives Canada as a gift from his grateful hands when England is finally defeated.
“A history which is frankly fictitious. The most surprising thing in the book is the bitterness toward England and the English.”
“In this curiously heaped up and involved lot of fiction are a vast number of tags and ends of stories and undigested ideas, the winnowing of which would be hopeless here. It’s a very long, queer book.”
Mackaye, Harold Steele.Winged helmet.†$1.50. Page.
France in the sixteenth century when Charles of Bourbon was rebelling against Francis I. is the setting. The story is one of fighting and adventure, of a nobleman who ill-uses his lady, and of my lady’s maid who saves her mistress from Saracen slavery by luring a villain into quicksand, and does other daring things. In the end the lord and lady are reconciled and the maid reaps as her reward the title of Lady of Ravelle.
“An improbable tale, convincing as we read.”
“A light romance—rather under average weight in fact. Nor in spite of the wings on the helmet and the out-of-the-common incidents mentioned, does it make up in spirit what it lacks in baser qualities. It cannot carry even its own feathery self as a gallant should.”
“A spirited romance of the Weymanesque school. Characters and scenes are well imagined and the story ingeniously contrived; but the flow is unpleasantly interrupted by repeated transitions from the usual narrative form to diary extracts and the like.”
Mackaye, Percy Wallace.Fenris, the wolf: a tragedy.**$1.25. Macmillan.
“Fenris the wolf, son of Odin, troubles the serenity of Heaven with his barkings of defiance, and with his wolfish desires for Freyja, the betrothed of his brother Baldur. In the prologue, Odin ordains that Fenris, Baldur, Freyja and himself shall leave their heavenly estate and become four mortals. The action of the play consists in the conversion of Fenris to charity and human love.... The action passes before rune-stones in the northern forest at daybreak or twilight, in prison chambers and by deep forest pools.”—Nation.
“There is much beauty in Mr. Mackaye’s work, beauty of poetry and thought; he is strong, tender and imaginative, and the more we study his play, the more we wish either that it were not a play at all or that we might see it acted.”
“As a whole the play fails a little of tragic impressiveness precisely because of a certain forcing of the note. It is, nevertheless, a poetic venture, of a sincerity and magnitude for which there can be nothing but admiration.”
McKean, Thomas.Vortex.†$1.50. Lippincott.
The serenity of two lives—Anna of the Titian red hair, and her artist husband Paul—is jeopardized by a scheming Jesuit who plots to get possession of the wife’s fortune for the Church. He uses as a foil Elena, an actress, who serves as a model for Paul’s masterpiece Spring. In the swirl of complications Father Lamian’s real relations to Elena come to light, showing a misspent youth and a deeply designing nature.
“The story is weak and poorly written, annoyingly commonplace in expression, and quite unnecessary.”
McKechnie, William Sharp.Magna carta: a commentary on the great charter of King John.*$4.50. Macmillan.
“Each chapter of ‘Magna carta’ is given in its original Latin, with an English version by Dr. McKechnie following it in smaller type,after which comes the commentary. The book includes a select bibliography and a list of the authorities consulted by the author, a general index, and an index to statutes. In appendices are documents relative to or illustrative of King John’s Magna carta.”—N. Y. Times.
“One feels compelled to state that although for want of something better this work will undoubtedly be consulted, nevertheless taken as a whole it cannot be regarded as of more than mediocre value.” Henry Lewis Cannon.
“A scholarly and authoritative work based on the results of the latest critical research, devoid of rhetorical flourish and meeting the requirements of the lawyer and the historian. The book is well planned. We are grateful to our author for clearing up the problems of Magna Carta in so scholarly and definitive a fashion.”
*“Very readable book.”
“He has given us what will long remain as the standard work on Magna Carta, a book remarkable alike for its solid learning, its fertility in suggestion, and its characteristic note of moderation and sweet reasonableness.”
“The first exhaustive commentator on ‘Magna carta’ since the days of Richard Thompson.”
“We should be disposed to dismiss his book as nothing more than a text-book of unusual thoroughness were it not for one saving merit. Mr. McKechnie is not afraid of discussing an abstract and complicated question.”
“His conclusions, like his style, are not always inspired, or beyond criticism or revision.”
McKibben, Julia Baldwin.Miriam. $1.25. Meth. bk.
Miriam, whose birth is hid in mystery, is brought up as a slave in an old-fashioned southern household. She is freed by her master, and educated in the north where no none knows of the taint in her blood. After bravely renouncing love and happiness, confessing to her lover and friends the truth, she learns that by birth she is an honored daughter in the home where she was once a slave.
*“A story of the old South of no literary value, and as foreign to fact as many others that have been written on similar lines.”
Mackie, Pauline Bradford.Girl and the kaiser.†$1.50. Bobbs.
The presence of the kaiser upon the pages of this simple little love story lends a certain dignity and makes the plot possible, but has no real historical significance. Wilhelmina, who has been brought up in America, comes to Germany to visit her uncle, the Admiral von Uhland, and his pleasure loving French wife. Here she meets two young naval officers, and upon the occasion of the kaiser’s visit to her uncle she learns of the strict paternalism practiced in the German army and navy, and that a rich wife is essential to a poor officer. This is where the denouement comes in. In the end the kaiser, who has taken a fancy to her, in his favorite role of destiny, points out to her the sensible road where she finds both wealth and love.
“Is a charmingly bright and unconventional story. Though by no means a great story, is one of the most clever little romances of the season.”
McKinley, Albert Edward.Suffrage franchise in the thirteen English colonies in America. $2.50. Ginn.
The purpose of the author has been “to present the dynamic or developmental aspect of the subject, rather than the analytic; he has not been content with a mere summary of the suffrage qualifications in the several colonies, but has endeavored to trace the growth of the colonial ideals and practices respecting the elective franchise.”
“Mr. McKinley’s volume is full of interest. Taken in connection with Mr. Bishop’s ‘History of elections in the colonies,’ the whole ground seems thoroughly covered.” F. W. S.
“In general there is shown the most conservative scholarship. The immense amount of material consulted, the care in the verification of its vast number of mere facts, and the patience shown in the organization of the mass of data, calls forth the highest praise for the author’s scholarship.” John L. Conger.
McKinley, Charles E.Educational evangelism: the religious discipline for youth.*$1.25. Pilgrim press.
Clergymen, and all who are interested in the religious training of boys and girls from 16 to 20 will find much of value in this essay, which discusses the religious needs of youth and gives suggestions as to how the church may meet them.
“It is one of the most sensible and thoughtful presentations of what the spiritual discipline of youth should be, both through the pulpit and in the school, that has recently appeared. He shows himself an original thinker, a man of insight, and a true lover of youth.”
“Though a small book, this is full of judicious thought well worthy of thoughtful consideration.”
McKinley, William.Tariff. $1.75. Putnam.
“The essay was written in 1896, when Mr. McKinley was governor of Ohio, and while the information he had gained as chairman of the ways and means committee was still fresh in mind. Naturally the legislative and political aspects of the tariff are the ones to which most attention is given. The author recognizes his difficulty of dealing with the subject in a non-partisan way, but states, ‘It has been my honest endeavor to do justice to all directly participating in the events narrated. It has been my aim to present as completely as possible a review of proposed tariff legislation since the close of the Civil war to the present time, as well as a sketch of the measures actually enacted, to the end that the student may observe the trend and purpose of the leading political parties in respect to this economic question.’”—Ann. Am. Acad.
“The essay was intended for general readers and its merits fully justify its being put into book form.”
McLain, John Scudder.Alaska and the Klondike.**$2. McClure.
The author, who is editor of the Minneapolis Journal, accompanied a special sub-committee of the Senate committee on territories to Alaska in the summer of 1903 and in a series of articles for his paper discussed the resources and possibilities of the country. These articles now appear in book form revised, and including statistical information on commercial and industrial operations down to 1904.
“His book is conservatively written, is interesting and seems to be believable.”
“It is the most complete and also the most trustworthy book of its class that has appeared up to the present time.”
“The book should serve for a long time ... in the capacity of an authoritative reference work.” Wallace Rice.
“A clear picture of Alaska—its history, population, occupations, resources, and problems.”
“Few of his statements can be designated as erroneous, and these are mostly of slight importance.”
“An exceedingly interesting book of travel, which ... justifies the claims of the publishers that it has practically the accuracy and trustworthiness of a public document.”
“Not only an entertaining record of travel, but a compact statement of the conditions, resources, and needs of the territory. Unquestionably the ground is not fully covered, but the amount of information derivable from the work is such that for all general purposes the treatment is adequate.”
“The present treatise is the best that has so far appeared. It is broadly comprehensive.”
McMahon, Anna Benneson, ed. SeeShelley, Percy Bysshe.
McManus, Thomas J. Luke.Boy and the outlaw. $1.50. Grafton press.
The author, whose boyhood was spent in Harper’s Ferry, where he witnessed the famous raid of John Brown, has woven his recollections of that time into a story in which a Virginia boy discovers a wounded mulatto, one of Brown’s men, the day after the raid, and attempts to conceal the outlaw from the authorities. The resulting adventures comprise the story, in which a Virginia squire, a doctor, a young lawyer and others figure.
“A story that moves swiftly and directly and contains a good deal of pleasant humor and excellent character-drawing.”
Macphail, Andrew.Essays in Puritanism.**$1.50. Houghton.
Taking Jonathan Edwards, John Winthrop, Margaret Fuller, Walt Whitman and John Wesley as the subjects of his essays, the author has written a series of sketches which give a better picture of the individual types than of Puritanism.
“An uncommonly readable and instructive book.”
“He mingles with his sharp and sometimes acrid treatment of Puritanism a good deal of sound and discriminating comment on its more attractive side, but on both sides of his view of Puritanism he leaves an impression that he has not very thoroughly worked the matter out.”
“These essays are bright, readable, entertaining, but they are also sometimes smart and a trifle flippant in style, and, in their dealing with philosophical thought, superficial. His view, no less than his style, is journalistic.”
“His book has many attractions; one of them is the pertinence with which he makes reflections, called forth in the first instance by the past, apply to the present. And he has a way of discerning the real greatness of the men whom he describes.”
Macquoid, Mrs. Katharine Sarah Gadsden.Pictures in Umbria.*$1.50. Scribner.
“This is a volume of purely ‘impressions de voyage’ by an intelligent observing woman inspired by the history and landscape of Umbria.... The author has a distinct liking for showing the life of the people by describing their physical characteristics and relating their conversation, and by throwing these things in contrast with the characteristics of the ancient race.”—N. Y. Times.
*“This one is neither too historic nor too artistic to suit many tastes.”
“The text is so trite and prosaic that it gives the impression of being written merely for the sake of furnishing a setting for the fifty original illustrations.”
*“Written in a bright and picturesque style, and full of interesting anecdotes.”
“When all has been said, the illustrations are by far the most interesting features of the book. It is worth publishing for them alone.”
“The book will form an entertaining companion for the fireside tourist, for it is intimately written in unadorned, direct narrative style.” Walter Littlefield.
Macquoid, Percy.History of English furniture. 20 pts. v. I, pts. 1-3. per pt.*$2.50. Putnam.
“The history has been divided into four parts: ‘The age of oak,’ comprising furniture from 1500 to 1660; ‘The age of walnut,’ from 1660 to 1720, showing the varied influences of the Restoration and Dutch designers; ‘The age of mahogany,’ lasting from 1720 to 1770, in which the introduction from France of fresh ideas in design clearly marked another change, and ‘The composite age,’ from 1770 to 1820, inspired by an affectation of all things classical, combined with an unbalanced taste.... There are nearly 1000 illustrations in the entire work, and sixty of these are in the exact colors of the originals.”—N. Y. Times.
“This book willbe valuable, not only to lovers of old furniture, but to art students interested in wood-carving.”
*“It is unnecessary to add anything to what we have already said concerning the importance and elegance of this work, which is absolutely unsurpassed in its field.”
*McSpadden, Joseph Walker.Stories from Wagner.(Children’s favorite classics.) 60c; (Astor lib.) 60c; (Waldorf lib.) 75c; (Handy volume classics.) limp lea. 75c; pocket ed. 35c. Crowell.
“The stories considered in this little volume are; Four from the ‘Ring’ dramas, also ‘Parsifal, the pure,’ ‘Lohengrin, the swan knight,’ ‘Tannhauser, the knight of song,’ ‘The master singers,’ ‘Rienzi, the last of the tribunes,’ ‘The flying Dutchman,’ and ‘Tristan and Isolde.’”—R. of Rs.
*“For the non-musical as legend and fairytale, for the young music lover who has still in anticipation the Wagner music drama, it is a capital little book.”
*McVickar, Henry Whitney.Reptiles.†$1.50. Appleton.
“The story is based upon a wager made by three men that in five years after marriage they will feel the same devotion to their wives that they felt before marriage. Two, a wealthy young Englishman and an American clergyman, were for the affirmative, one, a clever young cynic, for the negative. When the bets were called, the clergyman was prepared to pay the full amount like a man of honor, the young Englishman to compromise with a third, but the cynic refused to take the money, because he, too, lost, since he still loved his wife.”—N. Y. Times.
*“The story is told in a rather impressionistic style, which frequently leaves something to be desired.”
*“A thoroughly disagreeable novel.”
Macy, Jesse.Party organization and machinery.*$1.25. Century.
Party organization is described in its relation to presidential, congressional, and senatorial leadership. Professor Macy traces party development pathologically rather than historically from its real beginning in Jefferson’s administration, as a township or county organization, up through state, congressional, and national committees. The development of the committees is given, Tammany, and the differing party management in various states are fully treated.
“Students of political and constitutional history will find it of great service ... because it treats the problems wisely and brings home to the reader forcibly the significance of party organization as a fact.”
“Prof. Macy deals with his subjects sympathetically. The mode of presentation is concrete.” F. I. Herriott.
Reviewed by Winthrop More Daniels.
“This study in political pathology will be a welcome addition to the books available to the student of political science. There seems to be nothing omitted from this little hand-book that any student of party methods or management could possibly wish to know.”
“Survey is very broad. As a rule, Professor Macy is direct and explicit but he is not always consistent, and we note occasional slips liable to lead to misconstruction of his position. Whatever there is of error, however, is not sufficient to vitiate the value of his work.”
Madison, James.Writings; ed. by Gaillard Hunt. v. 5, 1787-1790. subs.*$5. Putnam.
“Mr. Hunt’s third and fourth volumes, consisting chiefly of Madison’s notes of debates in the Federal convention, brought us down to the date of its adjournment in September, 1787. The present volume carries us but two years and a half farther.... Of a hundred and eight letters printed by Mr. Hunt there are only a dozen that have not been printed before.... Six came from the Madison papers, two from the collections of the New York library, two from the Virginia historical society, one from a North Carolina source, and one, a letter of some interest written to Philip Mazzei, was once the property of Guizot and is now in a private collection in Berlin.... Madison’s speeches in the Virginia convention occupy nearly a fourth of the volume. His speeches in the first two sessions of the First congress, running to nearly as great extent, are also given.”—Am. Hist. R.
“Mr. Hunt’s annotations are apposite and intelligent.” J. Franklin Jameson.
“It is a disagreeable task to criticise a volume which shows so much care and intelligent arrangement, but there is evidence of some hasty proofreading, or perhaps of slovenly copying. The notes are full and judicious.”
*Maeterlinck, Maurice.Old-fashioned flowers, and other out-of-door studies.**$1.20. Dodd.
“Half a dozen studies of flowers in colors by Mr. Charles B. Falls, and attractive type, paper, and binding lend to the small volume an air of distinction which matches the unusual quality of M. Maeterlinck’s style. Flowers, like animals, have distinct personalities for M. Maeterlinck, but his frequent personifications are aesthetically justified by the real feeling that they express.”—Dial.
*“A delightful ‘little volume of nature sketches.’”
*“A little volume of his most subtle and characteristic essays.”
*“Characterized by the singular beauty of Maeterlinck’s style, the tinge of mysticism, and the interpretation of thought by sentiment which have given all his books subtle individuality.”
Magnay, Sir William, 2d baronet.Prince of lovers.†$1.50. Little.
