G. LEARNED. 12mo, $1.20 _net_. + Postage extra. + +International marriage novels have been many of late, even as the number +of American girls marrying abroad has increased, but this one is +strikingly different from the type that has become almost hackneyed. The +heroine, a beautiful girl, the daughter of a New York multi-millionaire, +marries a French Duke, and goes to live with him in the ancestral +château. So far, the situation is familiar. But this Duke is not the +melodramatic villain too often seen. He is a gentleman and a good +fellow, and in the misunderstandings that arise the reader's sympathy is +evenly divided between the lonely wife and the proud and unhappy young +Duke. The development of the story is of absorbing interest, leading to +an exciting and thoroughly satisfactory climax. Not the least of the +attractions of the story is that the authors know the world that they +write about. Mrs. Kenneth Brown (Demetra Vaka) will be remembered as the +author of "Haremlik," the brilliant study of the life of Turkish women +which was one of the most notable and successful books of 1909. The +collaboration of the Kenneth Browns is one of the most interesting +literary partnerships in contemporary fiction. Kenneth Brown numbers +among his books "Eastover Court House," "Sirocco," and other successful +novels. + + + [Illustration: IAN HAY] + + + THE RIGHT STUFF + By Ian Hay + + With frontispiece illustration by JAMES MONTGOMERY FLAGG. + 12mo, $1.20 _net_. Postage extra. + +Like Locke and Snaith, Ian Hay is a young British writer whose keen +sense of humor and genial insight into human nature will make an instant +appeal to the large audience of novel readers. "The Right Stuff" tells +of the progress of a young Scottish lad from the lowly surroundings of +his home in the hills, through Edinburgh university, through gruelling +years as a newspaper hack in London, to the position of private +secretary to a man deep in political life of the London of to-day. In +this position he comes into daily touch with the immediate members of +his patron's family, and ultimately, through a series of highly amusing +episodes, takes to himself one of the sprightly twin sisters of his +superior's wife. + +Such is the story. The charm and the real fun lie in the constant +surprises and whimsies of the twin sisters, in their irrepressible young +brother,--a peer of that infant prodigy, The Admirable Tinker,--whose +slang is infectious and novel, and above all in the character and doings +of Robin the hero. Since Barrie's "When a Man's Single," readers have +not been introduced to so canny a young man, or one so altogether +likable and human. His extraordinary proposal alone is a chapter that +will make Ian Hay famous, but in all his doings he is a hero that will +delight the reader's heart, and long be remembered as "The Right Stuff." +(_Ready in May_) + + + THE TWISTED FOOT + By Henry Milner Rideout + + Author of "Dragon's Blood," "The Siamese Cat," "Admiral's + Light," etc. With 8 illustrations by G. C. Widney. + 12mo, $1.20 _net_. Postage extra. + + [Illustration: From "THE TWISTED FOOT"] + +"Clean and wholesome danger,"--that is the phrase, borrowed from the +book itself, that the editor of London _Punch_ chose to describe the +engrossing interest of "Dragon's Blood," Mr. Rideout's brilliant novel +of last year. Still more applicable is it to his new story, "The Twisted +Foot." This is an interesting, absorbing narrative of mystery and +adventure in the Malay Islands. Seldom has a novelist hit upon a more +haunting series of happenings than those which involve the American +hero, the charming heroine, the mysterious Englishman, the more +mysterious Asiatics, that live in the book. Over all is shed the glamour +and mystery of the Far East--of tropical seas and remote islands. It is +Mr. Rideout's best story. A brilliant series of drawings by Widney add +not a little to the interest of this notable book. (_Ready in May_) + + + AN ARMY MULE + By Charles Miner Thompson + + Author of "The Calico Cat," etc. Illustrated by F. R. + Gruger. 16mo, $1.00 _net_. Postage extra. + +That interesting village which was the scene of the episode of "The +Calico Cat" furnishes Mr. Thompson with the material for another highly +diverting tale. The Army Mule in question is one Mr. Job Bixby, a +veteran of the Civil War. The story of what happened to him on the day +set for his wedding, and the surprising complications that ensued from +the innocent trick played by two mischievous boys, make a thoroughly +amusing piece of humor. In addition to its taking humor, the story has a +vivid reality of character and incident. + +The illustrations are by Gruger, whose character drawing contributes +much to the interest and amusement furnished by Mr. Thompson. + (_Ready in April_) + + + THE GODPARENTS + By Grace Sartwell Mason + + Illustrated by F. Vaux Wilson. 12mo, $1.10 _net_. Postage extra. + + [Illustration: "THE GODPARENTS"] + +How a well-poised young woman just about to sail for her fourteenth +summer in Europe was hurried from the steamer by a strange young man, +how she went with him to the mountains of Pennsylvania, and, chaperoned +by her competent French maid, camped out in the woods for three idyllic +weeks, saved a diverting little boy from designing persons, and entered +upon a happy love affair, is told in this unique and charming story. The +book has that happy mingling of humor and romance, unusual incident and +engaging characters that have made such stories as "Our Lady of the +Beeches" and "Pines of Lory" linger in the memory of their readers as +the most enjoyable of tales. + +The author, Mrs. Mason, will be remembered as joint author of "The Car +and the Lady," one of the most successful automobile romances ever +written. (_Ready in April_) + + + COUNTRY NEIGHBORS + By Alice Brown + + Author of "The Story of Thyrza," "Rose MacLeod," "The + County Road," etc. 12mo, $1.20 _net_. Postage extra. + +Among the short-story writers of the day, Miss Alice Brown stands +unapproached for the ability and power of her tales of New England life. +The present collection, which contains the best of her stories written +since her earlier successes, is of notable interest. Lovers of her short +stories will find it the equal of any of her earlier collections. The +following are a few of the sixteen titles: The Play House, Saturday +Night, The Auction, A Grief Deferred, Partners, The Challenge, Gardener +Jim, The Masquerade. + + + THE ROYAL AMERICANS + By Mary Hallock Foote + + Author of "The Desert and the Sown," "Coeur d'Alene," "The + Led-Horse Claim," etc. 12mo, $1.25 _net_. Postage + extra. + +This new novel from the brilliant pen of Mrs. Foote is in a new vein for +her, but in one that will win many readers. It is an ample, leisurely, +delightful historical romance of the days of the Colonial Wars and the +American Revolution, and gets its title from a famous Colonial regiment +which readers of "The Last of the Mohicans" will remember. The story +begins with the birth of the heroine the night of the fall of Fort +Ontario in 1756, and runs to and through the Revolution. The principal +characters are this girl, her widowed father, an officer in the Royal +Americans, his ward, a wild girl of white parentage whom he rescues from +a long captivity among the Indians, a number of fine young men, and +numerous subsidiary characters, real and fictitious, including fine +delineations of Ethan Allen and the famous Schuyler family. The plot +involves woodland adventures and satisfactory love affairs with a final +happy outcome. The book is an admirable historic picture of the time, +but it is distinguished from most historical novels by Mrs. Foote's +remarkable gift for portraying the relations between people, which gives +to it all a human reality seldom found in books of this type. + + + THE PROFESSIONAL AUNT + By Mary C. E. Wemyss + + 16mo, $1.00 _net_. Postage extra. + +The large public that took delight in "Elizabeth and her German Garden," +and the larger public that likes to read of the ways of children and +enjoys a good love story, will welcome this delightful book. It deals +with the experiences of a charming young woman whose married sisters +have made her a "professional aunt." The ways of children, their moods +and manners, have never been more vividly and seductively portrayed. +There is a zest in the account of household happenings that wins the +reader at once, but the book is much more than a story about children. +The love affairs of "Aunt Woggles" and her own charming personality will +become permanent memories. + + [Illustration: MRS. WEMYSS] + +This is the author's first full-sized novel. She is an Englishwoman, one +of a family of fourteen children, and she married an officer in the +English army. "The Professional Aunt" will make her many friends on both +sides of the sea. + + + LITTLE BROTHER O' DREAMS + By Elaine Goodale Eastman + + Printed and bound in distinctive style. Narrow 12mo, $1.00 _net_. + Postage extra. + +This tender and poetic story has a power of imaginative pathos that will +take it straight to the heart of the sensitive reader. "Little Brother +o' Dreams," the shy, poetic elf of the woods, who makes friends with the +rich man's child from the city and grows up to be both a bee-man and a +poet, the lover of his childhood's friend, will stay in the memory as +one of the unforgettable characters of contemporary fiction. It is not a +novel for the man in the street, but for discerning readers it will have +a rare and unique charm. Mrs. Eastman has already won distinction, both +as a poet and as an authority in child culture. + + + JOHN FORSYTH'S AUNTS + By Eliza Orne White + + Author of "The Wares of Edgefield," "Lesley Chilton," "A + Browning Courtship," etc. New Edition. 12mo, $1.50. + +Three delightful New England "maiden ladies" figure in these eleven +short stories, which Miss White has so connected that they have a +continuous interest and combine the merits of the short story with those +of the novel. The three heroines belong to an old family, which is +devoted to old ways, old furniture, and has an aversion to anything +which savors of modernity and the parvenu. Miss White excels in the +delineation of such characters, and she makes them all very real and +life-like, so that the reader soon learns to look at them as persons and +not as mere creations of an imagination. There is humor, too, in the +stories--humor of a quaint but intensely satisfying nature. The love +affairs have the delicate fragrance of mint and lavender, and savor of +long ago. Contrasted with this is the modern time, which conflicts with +the old and gives the bit of excitement found in the volume. + +This book was first published by McClure, Phillips & Co., with whom it +went through several editions in 1901. + + + + + _For Children_ + + + FLUTTERFLY + By Clara Louise Burnham + + Author of "The Quest Flower," "Jewel," "The Right + Princess," etc. Illustrated in color. 12mo, 75 cents. + + [Illustration: Her father wanted her to move slowly about and be + dignified.] + +Flutterfly was a little princess, and her true name--much too long and +hard for common use--was reserved for state occasions. Her father, the +king, was a cold and dignified person, who was often much annoyed by the +playfulness of little Flutterfly, and when one day she stole away from +the palace to go skating with the pages, he threatened her with heavy +punishment. First he locked her up in her own room, but that very night +her window was magically changed into the opening of a fairy world, +through which she went into Freezeland. The rest of the story tells how +she encountered Jack Frost, how she was befriended by a Giraffe, a Swan, +and a marvelous Horse, how she came to the ice palace of King Crystal, +and how finally after many adventures she safely reached home again. +And there she lived happily ever after, for Love had transformed the +sorrowing King. + +The book is most attractively illustrated in color by Miss Emily Hall +Chamberlin, whose work is well known to the readers of juvenile +literature. + + + + + _Drama_ + + + HUSBAND, and THE FORBIDDEN GUESTS By John Corbin + + Literary Director of the New Theatre, New York; author of + "An American at Oxford," "Which College for the Boy," + "The Cave Man," etc. 12mo, $1.25 _net_. Postage extra. + +Few developments in the last decade have been so startling and important +as the wide-reaching improvement that has been made in the standards of +the American stage, and there have been numerous indications that the +drama--not only the closet, but the acting drama--is again coming into +its own as a form of literature to be _read_. Peculiar interest, +therefore, attaches to this brilliant play by a man who occupies a post +of the first importance in promoting the improvement of the American +stage. + +"Husband" is a powerful embodiment in dramatic form of a typical +American situation,--an overworked, harassed man--a wife feverishly +desirous of social success and pleasure. How the short story works out +must be left for the reader to discover. It is enough to say that it +goes from scene to scene with ever-increasing intensity of interest, and +that the conclusion is a strong, optimistic one, big with meaning for +American readers. + +To "Husband" is added a brief one-act piece entitled "The Forbidden +Guests," in which the problem of race suicide and the unwelcome child is +handled with unforgettable imaginative force. Mr. Corbin was for many +years dramatic critic of the New York _Sun_. + + + + + _Outdoor Books_ + + + SPORT AND TRAVEL IN THE FAR EAST + By J. C. Grew + + Illustrated. Small 8vo, $3.00 _net_. Postage extra. + + [Illustration] + +Lovers of travel and sporting adventure will find Mr. Grew's book a +mine of good reading. He has been an enthusiastic sportsman, and has +hunted game of all sorts in nearly every part of the world, including +Singapore, the Malay Peninsula, Northern Hindustan, New Zealand, +Kashmir, and China. He has killed the cave-dwelling tiger, the ibex in +the Himalayas, the black bear in Baltistan, the pigeon in Egypt, wild +pigs in the Malay Peninsula, with other game too numerous to mention. +He is an observant traveler, a ready and picturesque writer, while he is +one of the few sportsmen-authors who contrive to give their readers the +story of sporting incidents as they actually occur. The result is a book +of remarkable variety of interest and instructiveness. It is lavishly +illustrated from a large collection of remarkable photographs taken by +the author and reproduced with great care. + +Mr. Grew, who is in the diplomatic service of the United States, is at +present a member of the American Embassy to Germany. (_Ready in April._) + + + WILDERNESS PETS + By Edward Breck + + Author of "The Way of the Woods." With illustrations from + photographs and drawings. Square crown 8vo. + + [Illustration: MR. BRECK AND TWO OF HIS PETS] + +This is a book of unusual interest for young people. The author, after a +brilliant career in many lands, has of late spent much of his time in +the woods of Maine and Nova Scotia, and has taken as a hobby making pets +of the wild creatures of the woods. From the thieving crow to the black +bear and moose, there is scarcely an animal with which Mr. Breck has not +been upon familiar terms. His close study of the ways of his animal +friends is woven into an attractive narrative of the experiences of +Uncle Ned Buckshaw and a group of young people while camping out in the +Nova Scotia forest. Young readers will find it an intensely interesting +book, from which they will derive a wide and sound knowledge of the +habits of wild animals. + + (_Ready in April._) + + + SWIMMING + By Edwin Tenney Brewster + + With frontispiece photograph of Annette Kellerman and + numerous diagrams. 16mo, $1.00 _net_. Postage extra. + +For any one who wants to learn to swim, to swim better, or to teach +some one else to swim, Mr. Brewster's little handbook will be of +unique helpfulness. It is a compact and well-arranged manual, giving +instructions so clearly and entertainingly that the reader, given the +opportunity for practice, can scarcely fail to acquire the art of +swimming in all its branches in a short space of time. A particularly +useful section of the book is that which presents the best method for +teaching very small children to swim. The rapid increase in swimming +instruction in public and private schools has been a notable feature of +the last few years. Mr. Brewster's manual will be particularly useful to +teachers of swimming, while to those who for any reason cannot obtain +expert instruction it will be invaluable, since it will make it possible +to acquire correct swimming without the wasteful habits of muscular +action found in those who acquire the art by the customary haphazard +process. The book is fully illustrated with clear and serviceable +diagrams of positions and motions. (_Ready in April._) + + + NOTES ON NEW ENGLAND BIRDS + By Henry D. Thoreau + + Arranged and edited by FRANCIS H. ALLEN. With illustrations + from photographs. 12mo. + +No one has written more poetically of our native birds than Thoreau, and +some of his best writing was inspired by the songs and the flight of +birds. The fourteen volumes of his Journal, which are sold only by +subscription to the entire set of his Writings, contain a wealth of +matter of the deepest interest to lovers of nature, and what he has to +say of birds alone makes a good-sized volume in itself. Mr. Allen has +taken out this bird material, arranged it in systematic order according +to species, and annotated it where notes seemed necessary. The result is +virtually a new volume of Thoreau's works, for the book is Thoreau's +own, not a mere selection from his writings, and a large part of it has +hitherto been practically beyond the reach of the average book-buyer. It +is of interest and value scientifically as well as from the literary +point of view, and it will be welcomed by all bird-lovers, whether or +not they have had a previous acquaintance with Thoreau. + +The editor is well known as an ornithologist, being a full member of the +American Ornithologists' Union, and he has had the advantage of an +intimate acquaintance with Thoreau's Journal, of which he was associate +editor with Mr. Bradford Torrey. The volume is attractively illustrated +with photographs of live birds in their natural surroundings. It will be +a book of permanent value. + + + LITTLE GARDENS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS + By Myrta M. Higgins + + Illustrated from photographs. Square 12mo, $1.10 _net_. + Postage extra. + + [Illustration: THE RIGHT WAY TO TAKE A WEED OUT OF THE GROUND] + +This small, convenient book gives just the information that is needed by +boys and girls and older people who are helping them to make gardens at +home. It is written to the large number of boys and girls in ordinary +circumstances, whose gardens must be limited as to position, extent, +cost, etc., yet it will be equally useful to those of larger means who +wish to find out for themselves the joys of a little garden. It should +prove helpful also to teachers and social workers who are making school +gardens and encouraging improvement work, and should supply a need for +some time felt by Improvement Societies and Home Garden Associations. + +It aims first to give the reader a broad outlook beyond the limits of +his own garden, taking the individual garden in its relation to the +whole garden land of the community and to the great world garden itself. +Then beginning with the autumn it furnishes timely suggestions for +garden work throughout the varying seasons. It gives simple directions +for choosing the site, laying out beds, selecting seeds, planting, +raising, caring for, and harvesting the flowers and vegetables. It does +not try to supply technical botanical information, but seeks to deepen +the interest of the young gardener in all the details of his daily work +by showing him something of the meaning and manner of the plant life +with which he has to deal. It is furnished with a goodly number of +illustrations which add to its interest and usefulness. Nearly all these +are from photographs taken by the author while at her work. + +Miss Higgins has had a varied experience in both school and home +gardening with children of all ages. + + + + + _Present-Day Topics_ + + + PERSONAL POWER + By William Jewett Tucker + + Crown 8vo, $1.50 _net_. Postage extra. + +As president of Dartmouth during the period when it was growing from +a small New England college to one of the largest institutions of +its kind in the United States, Dr. Tucker came to feel very keenly +the need of quickening in young men the sense of personal power. +This may be accomplished through various agencies, notably through the +competition of business; but no business exists for this purpose. By +common consent, however, the college stands for just this influence. +From time to time, therefore, Dr. Tucker gave the Dartmouth students +addresses, or less formal talks, on themes like the Estimation of +Power, the Distribution of Personal Power, the Morally Well-bred Man, +Moral Maturity, and the Recovery of Personal Power. Several of the +most suggestive and stimulating of these talks are now gathered for +publication. The volume contains also a group of four addresses made +at the opening of successive college years, on the general subject of +the Moral Training of the College Man, taking up successively the +training of the Gentleman, the Scholar, the Citizen, and the Altruist. + + [Illustration: WILLIAM J. TUCKER] + +The immense popularity of ex-President Tucker at Dartmouth will of +course commend this book to all men who have been connected with that +college during the last sixteen years, but the interest will not stop +there. He is almost equally well and favorably known to the public at +large, as a wise educator and an eloquent preacher, for he has been +heard in many prominent pulpits and was for several years a professor in +Andover Theological Seminary. + + + THE HEALTH OF THE CITY + By Hollis Godfrey + + 12mo. + +Few contemporary topics are so pressing, or attracting so much +attention, as city sanitation to help the health of cities. Mr. Godfrey, +well known for his work in popular science, has been making a study of +these questions for many years, and by his papers in the _Atlantic +Monthly_ and elsewhere, has come to be an authority in the field. This +book brings together the results of his studies, in a volume that will +be of interest to every intelligent citizen, and of the highest +usefulness to all engaged in welfare work. The topics treated are: city +air, water, milk, food, ice, noise, waste, plumbing, and housing. Mr. +Godfrey's writings are entertaining as well as instructive, and the book +is the best handbook of this important subject obtainable--(_Ready in +April._) + + + THE CONQUEST OF CONSUMPTION + By Woods Hutchinson, M.D. + + Clinical Professor of Medicine. New York Polyclinic; author + of "Preventable Diseases," etc. Illustrated. 12mo, + $1.00 _net_. Postage extra. + +Dr. Hutchinson has won a unique place for himself as a brilliant writer +upon medical topics. In this book upon one of the most pressing themes +of the time, he is at his best. The list of chapters of the book +indicates its helpful and timely character: A Message of Hope, The Enemy +Himself, What Happens to the Bacillus in the Body, The Weapons of War, +Fresh Air and How to Get It, Sunlight: the Real Golden Touch, Food the +Greatest Foe of Consumption, Work and Rest, Intelligent Idleness, The +Camp and the Country, Cash and Consumption, Climate and Health, +Specifications for the Open-Air Treatment at Home. In addition to this +there are some practical appendices dealing with the construction of +open-air sleeping porches, camp building, etc. It is a book which should +be in the hands of every tubercular patient, as well as of all those who +are interested in stamping out the great white plague. + +The illustrations consist of five full-page plates showing various +styles of sleeping porches for home use, and a diagram of a tent. + + + EVERY-DAY BUSINESS FOR WOMEN + By Mary A. Wilbur + + 12mo, $1.25 _net_. Postage extra. + +The aim of this book is to furnish simple and accurate instructions for +the conduct of "Every-Day Business,"--such business as inevitably falls +to the lot of thousands of American women, both married and single. The +methods of banking, the management of a check-book, foreign exchange, +getting money in emergencies, how to send money, bills and receipts, the +relations of employer and employee, relations with railroads and hotels, +simple bookkeeping, on sending things, taxes and customs, the use and +transference of property, stocks and bonds, wills and estates--all these +are clearly and even entertainingly explained, and the woman who has +read the book will find herself saved many daily moments of doubt and +many annoying errors. It is a book which should be in every home, on +every woman's writing-table. + +Miss Wilbur has been for many years a teacher of banking and political +economy in Miss Dana's celebrated school at Morristown, New Jersey, and +the present work is the result of practical experience in teaching the +elements of correct business procedure. + + + WOOL-GROWING AND THE TARIFF + By Chester W. Wright + + Instructor in Political Economy in the University of + Chicago. Harvard Economic Studies, Vol. V. 8vo, $1.50 + _net_. Postpaid. + +The continued discussion following the passage of the recent tariff +bill indicates that we are now at the beginning rather than the end +of a period when public attention will more than ever centre upon +this subject. In the history of our tariff no other schedule has +attracted so much attention or been the cause of more controversy +than that relating to wool and woolens. It was the failure of +Congress to make any substantial change in duties on them which led +President Taft to single them out in particular as his chief cause +for any dissatisfaction with the present tariff. The one point made +clearest of all in the recent tariff discussion was the need for a +thorough knowledge of the facts and genuine scientific study. In this +volume, based upon years of research, the author has studied the +wool-growing industry of the country in connection with the tariff +duties on wool and woolens. He shows an unexpected variety and +complexity of forces, and proves the superficiality and fallacious +character of much of current discussion. The duties on wool are shown to +be of little real importance in the growth of the industry. Incidentally +the book also presents a history of the woolen manufacture, touches on +many points in the history of American agriculture, and throws light +upon a number of the broader problems in the economic history of the +United States. It should appeal to those interested in our country's +industrial history as well as to those interested in the tariff +question. + + + COPYRIGHT: ITS HISTORY AND LAW + By Richard Rogers Bowker + + Author of "The Arts of Life," etc. + +This work, the outgrowth from an earlier book on copyright published by +Mr. Bowker in 1886, with bibliography by Mr. Thorvald Solberg, covers +the development of copyright from the earliest time (and in England as +well as in the United States), to the passage of the new American code +of 1909, inclusive of such interpretation as this has already received +in the courts. It treats in full all the several features of the code of +1909 and is intended for the use of authors.--artistic, dramatic, and +musical as well as literary.--publishers, lawyers, and the public. Mr. +Bowker, as editor of the _Publishers' Weekly_, has followed copyright +development for many years; and as Vice-President of the American +(Authors') Copyright League, participated actively in the preparation of +the new code. Appendixes give the text of the code, the Royal Copyright +Commission digest of British copyright law with summary of later +legislation, the International Copyright Union conventions, etc. This +work will take a position at once as the standard handbook on the +subject of copyright. (_Ready in May_) + + + + + _Essays and Literature_ + + + ESSAYS ON THE SPOT + By Charles D. Stewart + + Author of "Partners of Providence," "The Fugitive Blacksmith," + etc. 12mo. + + [Illustration: CHARLES D. STEWART] + +Mr. Stewart is seen here in a new rôle. The six papers that are brought +together in the book fall into three groups. The first group, consisting +of "Chicago Spiders," "The Story of Bully" (an extraordinary ox), and +"On a Moraine," has to do with certain curious observations and +reflections connected with the three subjects in question. For insight, +imagination, and intellectual vigor, they are very notable, and strike a +new note in American essay-writing. The second group, consisting of +Kubla Khan and The Study of Grammar, shows Mr. Stewart as a literary +critic and analyst of the first rank. His interpretation of the meaning +of Kubla Khan will create a sensation among scholars and lovers of +poetry, while his shrewd and entertaining remarks on the present method +of studying grammar will provoke animated educational discussion and +cause a reminiscent chuckle in many an old school-boy and girl. Finally, +by itself, comes "We," a vivacious, penetrating parody of Kipling's +famous story, "They,"--which indirectly suggests some far-reaching +thoughts on literary art. + + + AT THE SIGN OF THE HOBBY-HORSE + By Elizabeth Bisland Wetmore + + Author of "The Life and Letters of Lafcadio Hearn," etc. + +In this group of essays upon some of her intellectual hobbies, Mrs. +Wetmore's penetrating mind and vivacious style are seen to exceptional +advantage. She writes upon topics that are very much alive--subjects of +debate and discussion among cultivated people everywhere. A few of the +topics treated are The Morals of the Modern Heroine, The Child in +Literature, The Contemporary Poets, Strong Meat for the Masses (_i.e._, +literary meat), The Books of the Bourgeoisie, The Little Member (_i.e._, +the tongue), Upon Making the Most of Life, etc. In tone and flavor, the +essays are somewhat between the bookish character of such collections as +Sedgwick's "Great Writers" and the personal, whimsical note of those of +Miss Repplier and Mr. Crothers. They are always vigorous in thought and +expression, and uncommonly readable. They will be read and talked of. +(_Ready in April_) + + + AN APPROACH TO WALT WHITMAN + By Carleton Noyes + + Author of "The Enjoyment of Art" and "The Gate of + Appreciation." Illustrated. Large crown 8vo, $1.50 + _net_. Postage extra. + +For any one desiring to get at the true spirit and meaning of Walt +Whitman's poetry, there could be no better introduction than this +compact and illuminating volume. Mr. Noyes, who has made a life-long +study of Whitman, writes of him with peculiar insight and clarity. The +chapters deal with Whitman the Man, with his Art, his Human Appeal, his +Attitude toward God and Religion, and, finally, with his unique message +to the individual reader. The book is in no sense a competitor with any +of the biographies of Whitman,--but, rather, complementary to them. No +lover of the Good Gray Poet can afford to overlook it, while many who +have been perhaps but indifferently interested in Whitman will find this +book a stimulus to further study. It is illustrated with a rare +photograph reproduced in photogravure, together with a facsimile of an +interesting piece of unpublished manuscript. + +Mr. Noyes was for several years an instructor in the English Department +of Harvard University, but is now devoting himself entirely to letters. + (_Ready in April_) + + + LETTERS TO MY SON + +This is a unique book of intense human interest, written by a +well-known English author whose name is, by her own desire, withheld. +These Letters, or confessions, tell the story of a woman's early +wedded life with remarkable poignancy, and with a humor, tenderness, +picturesqueness, and lack of self-consciousness, that cannot fail to win +thousands of readers, especially women. The volume is unlike all other +books of fiction. It cannot be described; it must be read. It is, in +short, the book of a woman's heart written with a mingling of frankness +and reserve, of strong feeling and literary skill that will make a +permanent impression. (_Ready in May_) + + + A STUDY OF THE DRAMA + By Brander Matthews + + Illustrated. Crown 8vo, $1.50 _net_. Postage extra. [Also, + School Edition, $1.25 _net_. Postpaid.] + + [Illustration: BRANDER MATTHEWS] + +This book does for the theatre what Bliss Perry's "Study of Prose +Fiction" does for the novel. It is a clear and able study, not of the +closet-drama, but of the actual stage play. It is not a history of the +drama, though a great deal of sound dramatic history comes in +incidentally. It is rather an exposition of the conditions which +determine the method in which a play is constructed and which make for +its significance and success. In its helpfulness for the intelligent +play-goer who wants to understand what he sees and judge plays readily +and soundly, it is unique. Prof. Matthews has been for many years +professor of dramatic literature in Columbia University, and as a writer +upon the drama he has won a position of undisputed authority. This book +embodies the results of his life-long studies. It is illustrated with +plans and views of famous theatres. + + + ENGLISH LITERATURE IN ACCOUNT WITH RELIGION + By Edward M. Chapman + + Author of "The Dynamic of Christianity." Large crown 8vo, + $2.00 _net_. Postage extra. + +This unusual book is a study of the debt of English literature, through +the past century and a half, to the religious impulse. "The path of +literature leads primarily to that of religion," says Mr. Chapman; "they +are brethren of one blood, interdependent, and necessary to each other." +In this relation, Mr. Chapman illustrates from the literature he +studies, taking up in order practically all the important English +writers from Cowper to the present day. He writes well and +entertainingly, and never with a narrow theological preoccupation. No +serious student of literature can read the book without drawing from it +a flood of new light upon the ideals of the nineteenth century, while it +has of course special interest for those vitally concerned with +religious matters. + + + + + _Biography and History_ + + + THE LIFE OF MARY LYON + By Beth Bradford Gilchrist + + With portraits and other illustrations. Square crown 8vo, + $1.50 _net_. Postage extra. + +Of the many notable women of the nineteenth century, few did work of +such lasting importance as Mary Lyon, through whose influence the +movement for the higher education of women was begun. As the founder of +Mount Holyoke College, the story of her life and the force of her +personality are already traditionally known to thousands of college +women throughout the United States, but the world at large, which knows +her chiefly as a celebrated name, will for the first time learn from +Miss Gilchrist's admirable biography of her great personal magnetism and +charm. Miss Gilchrist has done her work well and sympathetically, and +has painted a permanent addition to the portraits of the world's great +women. It is a fit companion to the remarkable "Life of Alice Freeman +Palmer," one of the most successful books of 1908. In the best sense it +is a book of inspiration. + + + MY FRIEND THE INDIAN + By James McLaughlin + + Illustrated. Large crown 8vo, $2.50 _net_. Postage extra. + +This is an authoritative book of engrossing interest. The author, as +Indian Agent and Inspector, has had intimate relations with Indians for +a period of nearly forty years. It was he who ended the Ghost Dance +trouble in 1890 by the arrest of Sitting Bull, and so successful have +been his negotiations with the Indians in many difficult and complicated +cases that he is known among them as "The Negotiator." The story of his +life and work is unique in the rich literature dealing with the subject +of the American Indian. He tells of many thrilling episodes in Indian +history, including for the first time the Indian side of the story of +the Custer tragedy at Little Big Horn, and the story of Chief Joseph's +famous retreat with his Nez Perces. Along with these intensely +interesting reminiscences, there are studies of the Indian character +that are of first importance. The author tells of the Indian's daily +customs in love and war, of his way of looking at things, and of his +religion. The whole, in short, is a thrilling narrative of adventure and +a firsthand study of the Indian character that cannot be passed by. It +is fully illustrated with unusual pictures of Indians and their life. +(_Ready in April_) + + [Illustration: AN UNTAMED INDIAN] + + + COLONIAL MOBILE + By Peter J. Hamilton + + Revised and enlarged edition. With illustrations and maps. + 8vo, $3.50 _net_. Postpaid. + +Mr. Hamilton has found a new historical field in the region, originally +the stronghold of the greatest tribes of Indians, then explored by the +Spaniards and settled by the French, and long a debatable ground between +the Latins on the Gulf and the Anglo-Saxons on the Atlantic. The +Alabama-Tombigbee Basin, the original Louisiana, of which Mobile was the +metropolis, shifted from one side to the other in the contest until even +Edward A. Freeman declared it an historical puzzle. + +Opportunity is taken in this revised and enlarged edition to emphasize +the American rather than the local features. There is a new study not +only of the early explorers like De Soto, and of the Southern Indians +and of colonial systems, but of the interaction of Latin and British +institutions whose fusion resulted in a new type of American. Previous +writers have contented themselves with the Latin or the British element; +this is the first study of their conflict as seen from the centre of the +field. In its department the book has become a standard. + +Among the new material of this edition may be mentioned much light on De +Soto, Pardo, and De Luna, on the Spiritu Santo question, on French and +Spanish institutions. We find the first presentation of the British +legislation, Indian policy and boundary, and American territorial and +social evolution in the South-west. In the appendix are for the first +time made available the Pardo Narratives of exploration and rare +biography. The new illustrations, too, are a distinct feature. Many are +of unpublished maps from European archives, and show the gradual +emergence of the states at the expense of the Indian nations, and places +and relics pictured are of general interest. + + + + + _Travel_ + + + THE RUSSIAN ROAD TO CHINA + By Lindon Bates, Jr. + + Illustrated. Large crown 8vo. + +Not long after the Russian railroad across Siberia was opened, Mr. Bates +traveled along it to Irkutsk, and thence by sledge along the old post +road to Urga in Mongolia. His readable and entertaining narrative of his +experiences, adventures, and impressions of the country and people +constitutes a firsthand account of Siberia of unique interest and value; +while the new light that the book throws upon some of the most important +questions involved in the reconstruction of the Far East makes it one +that must be considered by all serious students of this field. It is +fully illustrated from interesting photographs by the author. + +Mr. Bates is a graduate of Yale University, and a civil engineer by +profession. He has, however, given much time to public affairs, and as a +member of the legislature of the State of New York has taken a prominent +stand in reform politics, and in the sound administration of the +public's business. + + + 1910 SATCHEL GUIDE TO EUROPE + By W. J. Rolfe + + With colored maps and street plans. Pocket size, flexible + leather cover, $1.50 _net_. Postpaid. + +39th annual edition carefully revised. It includes Great Britain, +Belgium, Holland, Germany, Switzerland, France, Austria, and Italy, +besides valuable general information. As the _Travel Magazine_ says, "It +is one of the most valuable little companions that any tourist can +possibly have." + + + + + _For the Bride-to-Be_ + + + HER BOOK + By Mabel M. Swan + + Flexible covers. Crown 8vo, $2.00 _net_. Postage extra. + +This book is intended first of all for practical use--as a record book +to be kept from the time of the announcement of a girl's engagement to +her wedding day. The diary is supposed to begin at the time the +engagement is announced, giving opportunity for recording luncheons, +teas, "showers," and all other pleasant happenings that accompany an +engagement. There are pages for lists of the people to be invited to the +wedding, and those to whom announcements are to be sent; for lists of +gifts, names of givers, and dates of acknowledgment of gifts; pages for +photographs, newspaper clippings, descriptions and samples of her +trousseau, of her wedding gown, veil, and flowers from her wedding +bouquet; and for lists of bridesmaids and ushers. + +It is intended secondly as a gift book, as a book to be kept for future +years, to recall one of the happiest times in a girl's life. The pages +have attractive marginal decorations and a quality of paper suitable for +taking writing ink is used. No more appropriate or acceptable gift can +be imagined, when a girl is engaged. (_Ready in May_) + + + + + _Philosophy and Religion_ + + + THE PRINCIPLES OF PRAGMATISM + By H. Heath Bawden + + Formerly Professor of Philosophy at Vassar College and at + the University of Cincinnati. Crown 8vo, $1.50 _net_. + Postage 14 cents. + +In the history of philosophy there have been few more notable phenomena +than the rapidity with which the school of thought known as Pragmatism +has gained ground among careful thinkers in the last few years, and, +unlike many schools of thought, it has, as expounded by the brilliant +pen of William James and other leaders, contrived to interest many +readers not ordinarily attracted by philosophical subjects. Professor +Bawden's book on "The Principles of Pragmatism" is a careful, logical, +and lucid exposition of this system of thought, and thoughts bearing on +other intellectual fields. The professional philosopher will find it +important and significant, while for the lay reader it will be a most +useful exposition of this most modern of intellectual currents. +Professor Bawden is well known in philosophical circles for his +constructive thinking. + + + THE EARLIEST SOURCES FOR THE LIFE OF JESUS + By Francis Crawford Burkitt + + In the Modern Religious Problems Series. 12mo, 50 cents + _net_. Postage 5 cents. + +The author of this book is a graduate of Trinity College, Cambridge, and +has been Norrisian Professor of Divinity in the University of Cambridge, +England, since 1905. He has made a special study of the Semitic +Christianity that once flourished east of the Roman Empire, and believes +that the rise of the Christian Church can be understood only in relation +to the hopes and fears of the Jewish nation during the first century. +Our view of these hopes and fears must profoundly modify the critical +judgment that we pass on the Gospels and the sources from which we may +suppose them to have been derived. In a previous work, called "The +Gospel History and its Transmission," Professor Burkitt considered the +problem how it came to pass that any historical record of the Life of +Jesus should have survived. In the present volume the main positions +taken up are (1) the general historicity of the sketch of our Lord's +career given in the Gospel of Mark, and (2) the impossibility of making +a satisfactory reconstruction of the lost source or sources used (in +addition to Mark) in the Gospels according to Luke and Matthew. + + + PAUL AND PAULINISM + By James Moffatt + + In the Modern Religious Problems Series. 12mo, 50 cents + _net_. Postage 5 cents. + +The author of this monograph made his first contribution to the +criticism of the New Testament in 1901 by the publication of "The +Historical New Testament," a work which was at once recognized in +Germany and America, as well as in Great Britain, as an original and +fruitful statement of its position. In 1907 Dr. Moffatt delivered the +Jowett Lectures in London upon The Spirit in the Early Church. These +have not yet been published, but the present monograph is a compact and +popular outline of the argument developed in the first and second of the +Lectures. Dr. Moffatt has contributed articles on various aspects of +Paul to the Encyclopedia Biblica, the new edition of the Encyclopedia +Britannica, and the critical reviews. He writes out of a prolonged study +of the subject, both on its critical and on its constructive side, so +that the present monograph may claim to have behind it that original +research without which no contribution to the literature of Paulinism is +entitled to a hearing. + + + THE CHURCH AND LABOR + By Charles Stelzle + + In the Modern Religious Problems Series. 12mo, 50 cents + _net_. Postage 5 cents. + +This little book seeks to make clear the steps which have been taken to +bring the Church and Labor into closer relationship with one another, +and to point out methods of still closer relationship. Mr. Stelzle was +born in a tenement house district in New York City. At eight years of +age he left school and went to work in a tobacco factory. Later he was a +newsboy, and then a machinist, which has given him the right to be a +member of the International Order of Machinists, and to have access to +the Labor Unions of this country. He annually attends the two weeks' +convention of the American Federation of Labor as a fraternal delegate, +and his addresses have created the greatest enthusiasm. He is now +directing some laboratory work for the Presbyterian Church among the +foreign-speaking people of New York City. He is director of the +Department of Christian Sociology in one of the leading schools for +Christian workers, and as Superintendent of the Presbyterian department +of Church and Labor, has done yeoman service in bringing the Church to +an appreciation of the laboring man, and the laboring man to an +appreciation of the Church. + + + + + _Poetry_ + + + COMPLETE POEMS OF RICHARD WATSON GILDER + + With photogravure portrait. Crown 8vo, $1.50. Also in leather + bindings. + +This complete edition of Mr. Gilder's poems appeared under his +supervision a year and a half ago. It contains his final selection from +his nine previous volumes, together with his last pieces, and is a +notable and permanent addition to the library of American song. + + + POEMS OF BELIEF + By Theodore C. Williams + + Translator of "Virgil's Æneid" and "Elegies of Tibullus." + With frontispiece by Elihu Vedder. 12mo. + +Mr. Williams, whose recent edition of the Æneid is regarded by the +_Harvard Graduates' Magazine_ as "the best English translation of the +present time," offers in this new volume about seventy poems which may +be divided into three groups,--religious, occasional, and translations +from the Latin. The poems express devoutly and freely the common +experiences of the religious life, but are not ecclesiastical; and +though not doctrinal, the accent is rather upon truth than feeling. The +standpoint is ethical idealism. As _The Christian Register_ has said, +Mr. Williams is "a religious idealist who is at heart a true poet ... as +well as a thorough classical scholar and a winning religious teacher." + + + + + _Riverside Press Editions_ + + + A POET IN EXILE + BEING SOME EARLY LETTERS OF + John Hay + + Edited by Caroline Ticknor. Limited Riverside Press + Edition. With portrait. 8vo. + +A highly interesting and significant episode in the life of John Hay is +presented in this unusual little book in the original documents. In +1858, young Hay, then twenty years of age, graduated from Brown +University and went to study law in a dingy law office in Warsaw, +Illinois. This was his poetic period of storm and stress. Remote from +the literary friendships that had been a delight and inspiration in +college, exile as he felt himself, he poured himself out in some +interesting unpublished poems and particularly in a series of letters to +his friend, Miss Nora Perry, the poet of Providence, who was one of the +most interesting women of her time. The slender volume, which contains +these letters and poems published for the first time, will be of +extraordinary interest to book-lovers, collectors, and the many admirers +of Mr. Hay. It is octavo, of about 64 pages, printed from type on +Batchelor hand-made paper, and bound uncut in paper-boards with paper +label. The frontispiece is a contemporary portrait of Hay engraved on +copper by Sidney L. Smith. + + [Illustration] + + + PAN'S PIPES + By Robert Louis Stevenson + + Riverside Press Edition of 550 numbered copies, 500 for + sale. Small 16mo. + +There are few more charming essays in modern letters than Stevenson's +characteristic whimsical discourse which he has entitled "Pan's Pipes," +a faithful rendering of that pagan spirit which is eternal in the human +heart. The delicacy and classic air of the essay has made it seem a +peculiarly fit subject for exquisite typographical treatment. In this +edition, Mr. Bruce Rogers has given it an embodiment of simple +neo-classic charm which leaves little to be desired. The little book +consists of 18 pages printed from type on a special quality of Italian +hand-made paper and decorated with medallions of fauns and satyrs +adapted from old engraved gems. The binding is of brilliant red paper on +thin boards, stamped with a representation of a maze, also taken from an +old gem. + + + + + _Educational_ + + + American Education + By Andrew S.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. |
