 pages are an attempt to bring before the reader some of the
leading principles of that religion with the purpose and the hope of
inducing him to make a thorough study of a subject until recently
too much neglected—‘the truth as it is in Jesus,’ and not as it is in
the churches or in the Letter-writers of the New Testament.” The
trend of the author’s discussion all goes to show that the history of
the Christian church has been one of deviation from the teachings
of its founder. In this he finds the explanation of the weakness of
the church in modern life. He quotes Lessing’s words, “After
eighteen centuries of Christianity it is high time to go back to
Christ.”

“The story depicts characteristics in the Penny family. The first is
the survival of a strain, appearing in widely separated generations,
which had given the possessor the distinguishing title of ‘Black’

antisocial attitude toward life. The story is divided into three

HERRICK, FRANCIS HOBART. Audubon, the naturalist; a history

of his life and time. 2v il *$7.50 (3½c) Appleton 17-29872
The discovery in France of a collection of fresh material bearing on
Audubon’s ancestry and early life has enabled the author to write
what may be called the first complete biography of the naturalist.
Heretofore all that has been written on Audubon’s life has been
based almost wholly on a brief sketch which he himself put
together hastily in 1835, characterizing it as “a very imperfect
account of my early life.” The new material supplements this
fragmentary sketch and corrects it in many of its statements of
fact. The two volume work, which is very fully illustrated, follows
Audubon’s adventurous career in detail. The appendixes contain
valuable matter, including the complete text of the French
documents, some in the original, others in translation, and a
bibliography, containing a fully annotated list of Audubon’s
writings, biographies, criticism, and Auduboniana. Volume 2
contains the index for the complete work.

HERRON, GEORGE DAVIS. Menace of peace. *$1 (6c) Kennerley

940.91 (Eng ed 17-13835)
This little book is directed against the “clamour for a peace that
shall leave the causes of the war unknown, the embattled
questions unanswered,” and argues that “a peace based upon a
drawn battle between the Germanic powers and the Allies is
nothing else than the capitulation of the world to Prussian might
and mastery,” whereas the victory of the Allies “will lead to the
banishment of war from our planet.” Mr Herron believes that peace
without victory would be to the interest of the munition-makers,
because Europe would then continue to arm for war, and to the
interest of the Vatican because, if autocracy should perish in
Germany, it would perish elsewhere, and “the Catholic power
depends upon the subjection of the peoples.”

originally printed in the New Age of London, and afterwards in Die

papers have been “somewhat developed,” but stand substantially
as written. “Each paper has had two or more translations into
other languages, other countries, than that in which it was
originally published.” (Explanations and dedication) The

Assuming a central New York viewpoint and interest, the book may

Palestine suffers by comparison, but “after the burning yellow
sands of the Sudan, Syria and Judea will seem to you, as to the
Israelites of old, a ‘goodly land, beautiful for situation, the joy of
the whole earth.’” The author is a lecturer for the Department of

HEWES, AMY. Women as munition makers, and Munition workers

in England and France, by Henriette R. Walter. *75c Russell Sage
foundation 331.4 17-28208
The first ninety-two pages of this book are given to a study, by
Amy Hewes, professor of economics in Mt. Holyoke college and
former secretary of the Massachusetts minimum wage commission,
of conditions under which women were making munitions, in 1916,
in Bridgeport, Connecticut. “Two articles giving the main results of
the inquiry have already been published in advance of this
report. ... The second of these articles, that dealing with the
munition industry, was submitted in manuscript, in advance of
publication, to officials of the Remington arms-union metallic
cartridge company for their criticism. This procedure, customary in
industrial investigations made by the Russell Sage foundation, was
the more necessary in this case, because of the previous refusal of
the company to give the Foundation the desired information. In
the conferences which followed the reading of the manuscript,
some statements were challenged, others verified, and additional
material was obtained, especially regarding changes made after
the field work of the investigation was completed. In response to
the suggestion of the company that no study could be accurate
which was not based on data obtained in the plant itself, the
Foundation offered to make such a supplementary inquiry before
publishing the report. This offer was refused.” (Introd.) The second
section of the book (sixty-three pages) is by Henriette R. Walter,
investigator for the Division of industrial studies of the Russell
Sage foundation, who, under the caption “Munition workers in
France and England,” summarizes reports issued by the British
ministry of munitions. There is a bibliography of three pages.

is a touch of the ascetic. She had once contemplated a religious

together comes after the death of this child. She holds the father

“Although the material presented is rather unsystematically put
together and the style of presentation rather disjointed and
unliterary, the book contains such a vast amount of information
that it has met with considerable favor, necessitating a number of
reprintings. Unfortunately this ‘new edition with new matter’ is
produced in the easier and less expensive way of reprinting from
the old plates the body of the book and adding a chapter at the
end. In this latter is thrown together in an even more formless
manner than is employed in the body of the book and, in a way of
presentation that is, from the literary point of view, decidedly
crude, the necessary information about the development of the
last ten years. The original index is reprinted, and thus the new
material is not indexed.”

HILL, DAVID JAYNE. Rebuilding of Europe. *$1.50 (3c) Century

327.4 17-28774
Dr Hill, former university professor, has been minister to
Switzerland and to the Netherlands, and ambassador to the
German empire. In this book, based on lectures delivered at Johns
Hopkins university, he argues that “the great war is a revolution
against the alleged rights of arbitrary force, rendered necessary by
the failure to reach the goal of a secure international organization
by an evolutionary process”; that the war was caused by
“economic imperialism”; that its main issue is “the right of people
to dispose of themselves,” that no permanent peace can coexist
with the old European idea of state sovereignty. Dr Hill tries to
show that the real enemy to be destroyed is not “any particular
form of mere state organization,” but this “dogma that the state is
a licensed brigand.” Various forms of international organization are
discussed, and the author concludes that while “a general
international government” is neither possible nor desirable, we
may reasonably expect the formation of “a strong, but limited,
group of powers, each willing to sacrifice something of its own
sovereignty for the purpose of insuring peace and equity.” The last
chapter deals with “America’s interest in the new Europe.” Five
chapters were in part printed in the Century Magazine for 1917.

“A very helpful exposition of the forces and conditions that have
been prevailing in Europe and which must be taken into account
when a definite plan for the reconstruction of civilization is
undertaken after the war. The story is simple and direct, and the
presentation is that of the trained scholar and publicist. The book
deserves wide reading.”

The editor of the Boston Cooking School Magazine has added
another to her already substantial list of cook-books. The
publishers have given large, clear type and over sixty enticing
illustrations reproduced from photographs. The index carries over
500 entries which include the old favorite cakes and desserts as
well as many less-known ones.
“A tantalizing collection of recipes to be published in war times.
However, it contains bran cookies as well as a twelve-egg torte.
There are brief general directions at the head of each chapter
which are useful and the recipes are easy to follow.”

“Since desserts are now reckoned among the luxuries of life in
many households, the possessor of this book will be obliged to
wait some time perhaps before she will feel that all the recipes
may be added to her list of available favorites. This does not mean
 that all the recipes are unduly extravagant, for there are many of
moderate cost.”

HILL, JOHN ARTHUR. Psychical investigations; some personally-

observed proofs of survival. *$2 (2½c) Doran 134 17-13827
Mr Hill has written other books on psychical research. He tells us:
“at the beginning of my investigations, my prejudices and wishes
were opposed to the conclusions which the facts gradually forced
upon me. If I am now biased in favour of the belief in personal life
after death, it is objective fact, not subjective preference, that has
brought it about. And my judgments have not been hasty. I have
worked at the subject for over eleven years.” (Preface) About one-
half of the book is given up to verbatim reports of sittings with
three different mediums, A. Wilkinson, Tom Tyrrell, and A. V.
Peters. At one of the meetings with Mr Peters, occurred some of
the incidents related by Sir Oliver Lodge in “Raymond.” Several
chapters deal with the methods employed in psychical research.
Other chapters deal with: Immortality; Home mediumship;
Telepathy and survival; Psychical phenomena in earlier times; Pre-
existence and the nature of the after-life; Psychical research and
religion.

“The special interest of this volume is to be found in the fact that it
deals, not with alleged messages from important or well-known
people, but with communications, or what profess to be
communications, from very ordinary and very often rather dull
types of deceased humanity. It is not a book from which any spicy
or sensational quotations are to be drawn. Nevertheless, open-
minded investigators will find it worth perusal.”
