Marie Dix's children's story, “ A Little
Captive Lad” (Macmillan), as into her historical ro-
mances. The period is that of the expelled Stuarts,
the small hero a devout royalist in exile under the care
of an impecunious cavalier. His uncle brings him back
to England, and the rest of the book is concerned with
the child's coming to a realization of the identity of his
real friends. It is a good story. – Mrs. Harriet T.
Comstock has taken equal pains with “ Tower or Throne,
a Romance of the Girlhood of Elizabeth” (Little,
Brown & Co), in which she follows the checquered ca-
reer of that great princess during her troubled early
life. The book gives an excellent picture of the little
scion of royalty who once wished herself a milkmaid. —
Where the previous book stopped with the accession to
the throne, Miss Eva March Tappan, Ph.D., takes the
Queen on to the close of her life, in her romance, “In

tale is “ The Story of Joan of Arc, Told by Aunt Kate”
(Lee & Shepard), in which some small children are
made to listen to a word-of-mouth narrative from an

own.
esting feature in it (though at first blush it seems out
of place in such a volume) is the chapter devoted to
imitations of several of the greater poets.- Miss Abbie
Farwell Brown has come nearer to the spirit of Steven-
son in some of the numbers of “ A Pocketful of Posies
(Houghton), and Miss Fanny Young Cory has made
most appropriate designs to accompany them. A pleasant
and novel feature are the marginal annotations in red
with every stanza, adding greatly to the humorous
effect. — Mr. William Wallace Whitelock is known as
the writer of graceful and witty vers de société in “Life”
and similar publications. To those familiar with these
clever trifles, “ When the Heart is Young" (Dutton)
will be a disappointment. It is conventional, little
witty, and not in the least poetical. Mr. Harper Pen-
nington's drawings are better. — In welcoming a new
edition of Mr. Peter Newell's “ Topsys and Turvys'
(Century Co.) in a volume made up by taking from its
two predecessors the best things they contained, it is
worth while calling attention to the exceedingly witty
lines that accompany the drawings in color, those won-
derful drawings that make a picture seem one thing
when looked at one way and quite another when re-
versed. One does not always think of Mr. Newell as a
writer of verses, but he certainly knows how to combine
effectively his two distinct varieties of cleverness.
“Six and Twenty Boys and Girls” (imported by Scrib-
ner) is reminiscent of the immortal “ Slovenly Peter"
and of Mr. Gelett Burgess's “ Alphabet of Famous
Goops,” but Mr. Clifton Bingham's verses and Mr.
John Hassall's colored drawings have merits of their
As the title indicates, there is a boy or girl for
each of the twenty-six letters, and some of these child-
ren are very good indeed, and some are bad enough to
be horrid. — “ Animal Life" (Saalfield) has many of
its illustrations taken from older plates, while the
rhymes of Miss Elizabeth May are more rhymes than
anything else, dealing with a number of our animal
friends. — Animals again lend interest to “Games and
Gambols” (imported by Scribner), the verses by Mr.
John Brymer and the colored drawings by Mr. Harry
B. Neilson. The books by these collaborators are
already familiar, the attraction in them coming from
the placing of birds and beasts in human situations
more or less comical. .“ The Bogey Book” (Young)
is a novelty in size, which is that of a large thin folio,
the rhymes by “ E. S.” and the pictures by “R. J. S.”.
Both would be appalling if they were not so wholly
grotesque. — Really interesting, and an unexpected
proof of the versatility of Mrs. Laura E. Richards, is
“The Hurdy Gurdy” (Estes), with its surprising dedi-
cation “ To Adams Sherman Hill, Arthur Dehon Hill,
Adams Sherman Hill, Three Generations of Agreeable
Boys." The illustrations are by Mr. J. J. Mora. The
book is worth while. — The year would not be quite
complete without something from the Misses Upton
with a topic entirely up to date. So “The Golliwogg's
Air Ship” (Longmans), the jingles by Miss Bertha Up-
ton and the colored plates by Miss Florence K. Upton,
is to be welcomed as fully equal to the former volumes
of a veracious history, as amusing as possible to those
for whom it is intended. - In a class quite by itself for
novelty and potential entertainment is Mr. J. M. Bar-
nett's “Mother Goose Paint Book” (Saalfield), the
text from an approved edition of that classic, the pic-
tures in outline, and five cakes of paint of different
colors and a camel's hair pencil on the inner side of the
back cover, ready for use.
NOTES.
The American Book Co. send us a “High School Al-
gebra," by Mr. M. A. Bailey, a small work but an ad-
vanced one, provided with many exercises.
A pretty little booklet is made of the story of “Billy
and Hans" (Macmillan), as told by the late W. J.
Stillman, and first published as a magazine article.
Messrs. Silver, Burdett & Co. are the publishers of
a children's reading book called “Stories of Myth,"
edited by Miss Lillian L. Price and Mr. Charles B.
Gilbert.
A pretty edition of Mrs. Gaskell’s “Cranford ” is pub-
lished by the Macmillan Co. It has a preface by Mrs.
Anne Thackeray Ritchie and illustrations by Mr. Hugh
Thomson.
Sterne's “ Sentimental Journey” and Lamb's “Essays
of Elia are the two volumes added this year to the
always acceptable “Century Classics " published by the
Century Co.
“Word Coinage," by Mr. Leon Mead, is a little book
published by Messrs. Thomas Y. Crowell & Co. It is
an inquiry into recent neologisms, as well as a study of
such matters as slang, style, and pronunciations.
“ Everyday English”is a book of language lessons for
intermediate grades prepared by Miss Jean Sherwood
Rankin, and vouched for in a “foreword " by Professor
Richard Burton. It comes from the Educational Pub-
lishing Co.
Two particularly acceptable volumes of the Temple
Primers are at hand. One is “ The Venetian Repub-
lic,” by Mr. Horatio Brown ; the other is a book of
;
“Northern Hero Legends," by Dr. Otto Jiriczek, trans-
lated by Mr. M. Bentinck Smith.
The Index Publishing Co., Bloomington, Indiana, are
issuing a “ Quarterly Bibliography of Books Reviewed
in Leading American Periodicals,” under the editorship
of Mr. George F. Danforth. About thirty periodicals
are covered, and the plan of the work is cumulative.
“The Cathedrals of Great Britain : Their History
and Architecture,” by Mr. P. H. Ditchfield, is an illus-
trated work of guide-book scope published by the J. B.
Lippincott Co. The illustrations are particularly suc-
cessful, being the work of a group of well-known artists.
Harper's Cook Book Encyclopædia," compiled un-
der the direction of the editor of “ Harper's Bazar," is
a thick volume with dictionary arrangement of contents,
and, if not exactly literature itself, is calculated to pro-
mote both the production and the enjoyment of litera-
ture.
“ Four Addresses by Henry Lee Higginson " make
up the contents of a little book beautifully printed by
Mr. D. B. Updike at the Merrymount Press. Two of
the four are upon the Harvard Union; the subjects of
the others are “The Soldiers' Field” and Robert Gould
Shaw.
“ The Government of Maine: Its History and Admin-
istration," by Dr. William MacDonald, is a volume in
the “ Handbooks of American Government” published
by the Macmillan Co. As adjuncts to the teaching of
American bistory and government in our schools, this
series should command sufficient support to warrant its
extension until it includes a volume for every State in
the Union. Besides the present volume, New York and
Minnesota are now on the market, and Ohio and Mich-
igan are in active preparation.

OURS is the largest establishment in this country
devoted exclusively to books and stationery.
Above all it is the ideal place for holiday book buying,
as the stock is so complete that patrons can be practi-
cally assured of finding any publication desired without
inconvenient delay.
From now on every facility of our retail department
- every convenience and assistance that we can offer
is at the entire disposal of customers who are engaged
in the perplexing selection of books for holiday presen-
tation. Patrons from out of town will appreciate the
comfortable reading-room where catalogues may be
consulted, books examined, letters written, or appoint-

In regard to the desirability of books as Christmas
gifts, nothing else is likely to give the same amount of
pleasure at a relative cost. And it may be added that
never before has the array of holiday books been so
beautiful, so varied, and so altogether attractive from
every standpoint. This is particularly true of the books
for young people, which seem to have been the subject
of special effort on the part of the publishers this season.

Taine to the position of this once celebrated political
writer as a pioneer of modern journalism, as a champion of
constitutional Monarchy in the Revolution, as a confidential
adviser of Louis XVI, and of the Allied Courts. ... His
story has, indeed, as a study of character, a deep human
interest, the interest attaching to a consistent and courageous
struggle against overwhelming odds. But it is as a study
of opinions, as a record and analysis of political thought
and action, that an account of Mallet du Pan has its main
value.

success are all dealt with at length, and practical illustrations of successful action are given.

"HE LADY POVERTY” is a mediæval romance,
simple in form and charming in conception, tell-
ing how St. Francis wooed and won that most difficult of
all Brides — my Lady Poverty. Apart from its beauty
it is noteworthy as the first book written concerning St.
Francis of Assisi, having been completed within a year
after the Saint's death (A.D. 1227). The little volume
here offered is the first English translation, and faithfully
énshrines the spirit of the original.

THE DE WET BOOK
AN IMPORTANT WORK BY THE BOER CHIEFTAIN
THREE YEARS’ WAR
By Christiaan Rudolf de Wet
With frontispiece portrait by John S. SARGENT, R. A.,
together with plans, map, etc. $2.50 net (postage 28c.)
his is the plain, bluff, unvarnished story of General de Wet's experiences
and doings in the great struggle which took place between the Boer
and the Briton. The simplicity of the narrative, its sincerity, its soldierly
fairness, and its unconscious eloquence, will make the book appeal to all
men who enjoy a story of action; while the light it throws upon military
operations and battles hitherto known only from the English view-point,
gives it a genuine historical value.

The greatest appreciation of Holiday books is among the children, and it is
believed that these books are worthy of the entire approval of the young critics.

Young Cory. Both author and artist are extraordinarily popular with young people.

Carter H. Harrison, of Chicago). They are delightfully simple and naive, and have

COQUO AND THE KING'S CHILDREN.

cause of the exceptional beauty of the book itself, the second because
of the vital interest of its subject for every American, young or old.

By WOODROW WILSON, Ph.D., Litt.D., LL.D.
President of Princeton University
PRESIDENT WOODROW WILSON has devoted the best years of his life to the preparation of his
great work, “ A History of the American People," from the earliest times to the accession of Theodore
Roosevelt. The work, which is just completed, is monumental in character and scope, represents the
genius of the greatest historical thinker of modern times, and is written in that delightfully flowing style
which makes it read like a romance. It is printed from new type specially cast in 1902. In the matter
of illustration, every field of human activity has been searched, and hundreds upon hundreds of now
portraits, prints, maps, plans, and pictures make the pictorial features alone tell their wonderful story of
the finding of the continent and the birth and growth of what is the United States of America. There
is a photogravure frontispiece to each volume, and portraits in India tint and black. It is a curious fact
that there is not a single complete narrative history of the United States in existence today. Dr. Woodrow
Wilson's is the first. It is bound in dark blue vellum cloth, leather-stamped, lettered with gold,
untrimmed edges, gilt tops, etc. The edition is in five volumes and the price is $25.00.
OUR OFFER We will send you the entire set of five volumes, charges prepaid, on receipt of $1.00. If
you do not like the books when they reach you, send them back at our expense, and we will
return the $1.00. If you do like them, send us $2.00 every month for twelve months. On receipt of this dollar we

Japan and Her People
BY ANNA C. HARTSHORNE.

Two volumes. Crown 8vo. Cloth extra, gilt top; in cloth box. $4.00 net.
Miss Hartshorne writes of Japan and the Japanese people from an intimate knowledge of
her subject at first hand, having been a resident of the country and brought closely into
touch with native life. The book will take rank as a thorough exposition of the Island
Kingdom, and is written in a charming style. No more attractive holiday book will be
issued this season.
Vienna and the Viennese
Based on the Work of Tissot.
By MARIA HORNOR LANSDALE.
Illustrated with twenty-five photogravures and a map.

Vienna is in many respects the most fascinating and brilliant city in Europe. Miss
Lansdale has handled the theme with her acoustomed skill, making one of the most readable

whole series so noteworthy and popular.

Whimlets
By SAMUEL SCOTT STINSON. Pictured by Clare Victor Dwiggins.

This little book is uniform with Mr. Matthewman's Crankisms," and consists of 100
humorous, sometimes satirical, rhymed conceits embodied in Mr. Dwiggins's inimitable
drawings. In "Crankisms" the artist gained a reputation by the unusual and genuine
illustrative ability displayed in picturing Mr. Matthewman's keen satire, as well as by the
grace and beauty of his drawings, and in “Whimlets” he has rendered the same services for
Mr. Stinson's clever conceits.

MUSIC AND CULTURE.
Those writers who engage in the discussion
of the delicate subject of culture seem to take
it for granted that the printed page is what
chiefly concerns their theme. It is undoubt.
edly true that among the agencies of culture
literature occupies the foremost place, and that
it is mainly by means of books that we come
to know the best that has been thought and
done in the world. But there are other agencies
as well, and they must not be left out of the
reckoning. There are, for example, such things
as travel through lapds associated with past
human achievements, participation in commem-
orative exercises and civic festivals, and per-
sonal intercourse with the high-minded men
who keep the torch of idealism alight from
generation to generation. There are also the
fine arts other than literature; for it is a very
one-sided and contracted culture that ignores
the immense contribution made by sculpture
and painting, by architecture and music, to the
treasure-house of man's creation.
With all that may be urged in behalf of the
other forms of what is called fine art, it seems
to us that music must, on the whole, be given
the place next in importance to that occupied
by literature among the agencies of culture.
Even graphic art, with all its manifestations
in color and line, with all its modes of multi-
plication for the service of the many, seems to

Mr. Thomas Nelson Page has added another mite to

sode wbich gives the story its title. A Confederate

a federal general who has little ones of his own at home.
But the small rebel who understands his father's plight
makes it possible for him to avoid the accusation of
being in the enemy's ranks out of uniform. It is a touch-

W. L. Jacobs. — Mr. Hervey White, hitherto known as
a novelist of decided but sombre power, puts his lit-
erary past behind him to write « Noll and the Fairies
(Stone), a most amusing bit of imaginative writing for
which the tender infancy of Oliver Goldsmith affords a
basis. Not only is it written in sparkling prose, but
there are numerous bits of interpolated verse, some of
it purposely nonsensical, but all charming. What is
more astonishing than these, however, is Mr. White's
embodiment of some sound modern child psychology in
the book without in the least overweighting it. — Out
of the literature surviving from the world's childhood,
Miss Florence Holbrook has obtained the material for
her“ Book of Nature Myths” (Houghton), certainly the
most suitable mental pabulum imaginable for children.
From the classics, the sagas, and the legends of the
American Indians, Miss Holbrook has drawn her mate-
rial, beginning her little volume with simple expressions
increasing in complexity and maturity of thought as
they proceed. Such thorough and discriminating work
can hardly have too much praise. “ Lays for Little
Chaps” (New Amsterdam Book Co.) is the rather con-
ventional sort of verse about children, done by Mr. Alfred
James Waterhouse after the manner of Eugene Field.

(Crowell) is a transcript of more than ordinary realism,
telling of the difficulties three boys and a girl have in
starting a newspaper in a little Ohio community. “Noth-

for this story. It is written by Mr. Amos R. Wells.

It is for very small children indeed. — Great good na-

visit children of a more prosaic type. The “romance"
has nothing to do with a love story, but with the little
girl's kinsfolk. It is a history to be read with pleasure.
Miss Katharine M. Roberts provides illustrations of
worth. —“The New Pupil” (Macmillan) of Raymond
Jacbern's latest book is a little English girl who has
been running wild in Italy after her mother's death,
her father being too much occupied with study to take
any marked interest in her. How she is tamed down to
a proper sense of decorum in its full British sense is
the theme of the story, which is readable and moral
enough, but altogether mistaken in thinking anyone the
better for being conventionalized. — Miss Barbara
Yechton loses nothing of a certain admirable quality
noticeable in her other work when she comes to write
“ Molly” (Crowell). The picture she draws is that of
a little girl who spends a summer with an uncle and
some cousins and makes them all her friends by her
straightforward courage and small-womanliness. –
Bringing a little child from the poorest parts of a large
American city to a prosperous farm works much better
in Miss Evelyn Raymond's "Daisies and Diggleses "
(Crowell) than it has been found to in real life. It is
characteristic of the little tenement house girl that she
should begin planning for those she has left behind her
as soon as she finds the rural districts inhabitable. --

OURS is the largest establishment in this country
devoted exclusively to books and stationery.
Above all it is the ideal place for holiday book buying,
as the stock is so complete that patrons can be practi-
cally assured of finding any publication desired without
inconvenient delay.
From now on every facility of our retail department
every convenience and assistance that we can offer-
is at the entire disposal of customers who are engaged
in the perplexing selection of books for holiday presen-
tation. Patrons from out of town will appreciate the
comfortable reading-room where catalogues may be
consulted, books examined, letters written, or appoint-
ments kept as desired.
In regard to the desirability of books as Christmas
gifts, nothing else is likely to give the same amount of
pleasure at a relative cost. And it may be added that
never before has the array of holiday books been so
beautiful, so varied, and so altogether attractive from
every standpoint. This is particularly true of the books
for young people, which seem to have been the subject
of special effort on the part of the publishers this season.

THREE BOOKS WORTH OWNING
FIFTH EDITION
Mrs. Tree
By LAURA E. RICHARDS
A SHORT novel of irresistible charm and originality.
Companion volume to “Geoffrey Strong," Mrs.
Richards's success of last year. The author won
international fame by her children's story, “Captain
January," and now makes it clear that she is equally at
home in the field of adult fiction. The Detroit Free
Press is not alone in thinking "Mrs. Tree" "the jolliest,
merriest, drollest book Mrs. Richards ever wrote."
Unique binding, illustrated, tall 16mo, 75 cents.
SECOND EDITION
A Treasury of Humorous Poetry
EDITED BY
FREDERIC LAWRENCE KNOWLES
N anthology of humorous masterpieces drawn from
250 poems by 130 writers. Carolyn Wells says, “It is,
without a doubt, the best compilation of humorous verse
extant." Mark Twain writes, “I should not be able to
get along without 'The Treasury of Humorous Poetry,'
now that I have it and realize its value." The text is
printed from new type on a fine deckle-edge paper.
Cloth, 12mo, illus., gilt top, boxed, net, $1.20.
Same, half calf or morocco, net, $2.40.
(Postage, 13 cents extra.)
REVISED EDITION
The Correct Thing in Good Society
By FLORENCE HOWE HALL, author of “Social Customs," etc.
THis handbook when first issued met with a very cordial welcome from the public, and has never lost its popularity,
but fashions in etiquette, like fashions in dress, are subject to change, and it has become necessary to revise the
book and bring it strictly down to date. Accordingly, the original matter has been completely rewritten, and much
new material added. Bound in modern style, with new cover design, and set up from new type.
Cloth, tall 16mo, gilt top, net, 75 cents; by mail, 82 cents.

The Philippine Islands –1493-1803
EXPL
XPLORATIONS by early Navigators, descriptions of the Islands
and their Peoples, their History, and records of the Catholic
Missions, as related in contemporaneous books and manuscripts,
showing the political, economic, commercial, and religious conditions
of those Islands from their earliest relations with European Nations
to the beginning of the nineteenth century.
Translated from the rare originals (Spanish, French, Italian, Latin, etc.), many
of which are now published for the first time; edited and annotated by EMMA
HELEN BLAIR, A.M., of the State Historical Society of Wisconsin, assistant
editor of The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents, and JAMES ALEXANDER
ROBERTSON, Ph.B.; with historical introduction and notes by EDWARD
GAYLORD BOURNE, Professor of History in Yale University, chairman of the
Historical Manuscripts Commission of the American Historical Association,
etc.; and special contributions by well-known scholars and bibliographers.
Also a full Bibliography and Analytical Index.
Illustrated with facsimiles of rare and unique originals, manuscripts, maps,
portraits, views, etc.
The edition is limited to one thousand numbered and signed sets. Printed
in the beautiful Caslon type on Dickinson's hand-made deckle-edged paper.
55 vols. (issued one or two vols. per month until completion, Vol. I. to be
published about Jan. 15, 1903). Large 8vo, about 325 pages per volume,
cloth, uncut, gilt top. Price, $4.00 net per volume.
The difficulties which confront the people of the United States in the administration of their new
insular possessions render this work especially timely and useful. Its chief aims, throughout, are
to cast light on the great Philippine problem — by making accessible to the reading public the history
of those Islands, both religious and secular, and showing the character, customs, and beliefs of th
native peoples who inhabit them, -and thereby to furnish in a thoroughly and scholarly manner and
at a reasonable price the sources of Philippine History.
“ This publication is very highly to be commended, as, in the confused state of current information
upon the conditions in our insular dependencies, evidence direct from unimpeachable sources is of
the greatest importance. The American people realizes its responsibility, but is at a loss to know
what should be done, as so much uncertainty exists as to the conditions.”— Paul S. REINSCH,
Professor of Political Science, University of Wisconsin.
