THE DIAL
ANNOUNCEMENTS OF FALL BOOKS.
Again The DIAL's list of books announced for Fall
publication shows an advance over any season in the
history of the American book trade,- the number of
titles this year being nearly 1800 ; as against 1700, the
highest number of any previous year. With the increase
in population there is an increase in the number of
book - readers; and the demand for books grows,
besides, with the growth of the reading habit as the
country advances in intelligence and prosperity.
The list here given is prepared entirely from advance
information secured especially for this purpose, and
represents the output of about 75 publisbing firms.
All the books entered are presumably new books
editions not being included unless baving new form
or matter; and, with a few necessary exceptions, the
list does not include Fall books already issued and
entered in our regular List of New Books. Juvenile
books are, from their great number, deferred to another
issue, - although reckoned with in the above enum-
eration.
The more important literary features of the list are
commented upon in the leading editorial in the present
issue.

THE DIAL
THE NOVEL OF THE CENTURY
A MODERN APOLLOS
A ROMANCE OF THE EAST AND WEST.
By ROBERT MCINTYRE.
No work of fiction issued in recent years approaches it in
Delineation of Character, Subtlety of Plot,
Masterful Word Painting, and Purity of Purpose
in development and denouement.
FASCINATING FROM START TO FINISH.
The author's fame as a Preacher and Lecturer is a guarantee of the literary excellence of the book,
and its moral tone and teaching are in striking contrast with recent so-called religious novels.

These volumes are called “Suggestive Illustrations," because
their object is quite as much to suggest other “Illustrations" as to
furnish material ready for use.
The Text which is printed at the top of the various pages indicatos
at a glance the subjects to be elucidated. Every chapter, and well-
nigh every verhe, is illuminated with fresh, sparkling “illustrations."
Now it is a bit of scientific lore, now a scrap of healthful verse, now a
reference to some book or story or poem, now an anecdote, now a
little parable,-varied in the extreme, but always such as to kindlo
new ideas and fill the Scriptures with new meaning to the student.

A story of the time of Christ. By Dr. PAUL CARUB. Illustrations by
EDVARD BIEDERMANN. Pages 73. Price, cloth, 75 cts. nel (3s. Bd, nei).
“The Crown of Thorns" is a story of the time of Christ. It is
fiction of the character of legend, utilizing materials preserved in both
the canonical scriptures and the Apocryphal traditions, but giving
preference to the former. The hopes and beliefs of the main person-
alities, however, can throughout be verified by documentary evidence.
Théreligious milieu is strictly historical, and is designed to show the way
in which Christianity developed from Judaism through the Messianic
hopes of the Nazarenes as interpreted by the Apostle Paul of Tarsus.

THE GREAT NOVEL
THE RIGHT OF WAY
BY
GILBERT PARKER
Author of “The Seats of the Mighty” and “The Battle of the Strong"
The New York Times Saturday Review says:
“The plot is dramatic. “Things happen ’ right along from the first page
to the last. We are left with the mental image of a vivid, dramatic pic-
ture, painted in a masterly fashion. Mr. Parker is an artist, and he is to be
thanked for a story of unusual freshness, power, and visualization.'”
The Brooklyn Eagle says:
“Beyond all doubt an extremely powerful story. “The Right of Way'
is a great novel.”

“Mr. Parker has never written anything quite so good as "The Right
of Way.'”

By John FISKE. 16mo, $1.00 net; postpaid, $1.10.
This book completes the remarkable group to which belong Mr. Fiske's books on The Destiny of Man,
The Idea of God, and Through Nature to God. Its argument is on the line of Evolution, inferring from
what man has already become by the play of the Infinite Force in whose beneficent hand he is that the
logical next step in his progress is the attainment of life everlasting. The book is great in the grasp of
principles and in the rastness of the future which it prophesies for humankind,
THE MARROW OF TRADITION
By CHARLES W. CHESNUTT, author of “ The House Behind the Cedars,” “ The Conjure
Woman,” etc. Crown 8vo, $1.50. [ October 16.]
Upon a background of contemporary Southern life Mr. Chesnutt has written a strong, virile, and exciting
novel. The story involves the fate of a child for whom its parents forsee a bright future, but for whom a
superstitious old black nurse sees grave misfortunes ahead - a fancy which seems curiously borne out by an
adverse fate. There are an interesting love story, an injury avenged with Old Testament rigor, and a
greater wrong nobly forgiven. Among the characters are an editor who heads a reactionary political move-
ment in a Southern state, set off against whom is an educated colored man seeking by wise methods to ele-
vate his people.

A MULTITUDE OF COUNSELLORS
Being a Collection of Codes, Precepts, and Rules of Life from the Wise of All Ages.

and Evil, by J. N. LARNED, author of “ A School History of England,” “ History for
Ready Reference.” Large crown 8vo, $2.00 net; postpaid, $2.15. [October 9.]
Mr. Larned, from his very wide range of reading, has gathered a singularly rich and varied collection
of the maxims and condensed wisdom of sages of all times. It includes Egyptian, Greek, Roman, medieval,
and modern aphorisms and proverbs, concise and pithy expressions of the world's best judgment on the
most important matters of human life and conduct.
The Ethnic Trinities,
and Their Relation to the
Christian Trinity
By LEVI LEONARD PAINE, D.D., Professor of
Ecclesiastical History in the Bangor Theological
Seminary, and author of “The Critical History
of the Evolution of Trinitarianism." Crown 8vo,
$1.75 net; postpaid, $1.90.
Dr. Paine here extends to the whole field of re-
ligious thought concerning God and His relations to
mankind, the historical survey which in his previous
book was restricted to Christianity. The Trinita-
rian idea is shown to be inwrought more or less in
all world-religions, and this book traces its growth.
It is a very significant work, a strong, fearless, rev-
erent study of great religious questions.

vure of portrait of Dante by D. G. Rossetti, and
a reproduction of the “Figura Universale."

Mr. Dinsmore has long been student of Dante,
and here approaches him from the modern religious
point of view. He finds in Dante a corrective to
some present tendencies in religious thought and a
source of permanent inspiration to faith.

A Philosophical Novel
BY JOSEPH BATTELL.

Halliwell Sutcliffe's book of
that name.
She is a charm-
ing person, with whom all
lovers of pure, wholesome
fiction should become ac-
quainted
By HALLIWELL SUTCLIFFE
Just Published : $1.50
This book demonstrates through the great principle
of the universality of natural laws, the principle upon
which all science rests, that the Darwinian theory of
evolution and all undulatory theories are alike absurd
and impossible. It follows that the same is true of all
materialistic conceptions of existence, i. e., of any con-
ceptions of existance which do not give to mind, and
mind only, the creative power.
A man, through the
operations of his mind, can make a spade, but the spade
cannot make a man.
Although antagonizing some of the theories of
science, the book is thoroughly and entirely scientific,
placing science upon a permanently former, truer, and
sounder basis. In the same direction all of the most ad-
vanced scientific thinkers are tending, as was shown at
the recent meeting of the French Academy of Sciences,
at Paris, when it was demonstrated that X-ray light is
composed of material particles. This, of course, does
away with all undulatory theories, for it would be as
probable or possible for nature to have two or more
methods for the production of rain, or any or all phe-
nomena, as for the production of light; besides, as the
book shows, the law of creation itself must be univer-
sal, and this means that every material thing is made
by the combination of matter in its different elements
and proportions. There is no possible question in re-
gard to this, nor do we consider it possible that any
man of intelligence, when the matter is brought to his
attention, will seriously undertake to question it, any
more than he would that the sun shines. For the uni-
versality of natural law is not an hypothesis or opinion
which, as Socrates said, “are bad all,” but a great
truth, supported by every fact which comes within our
knowledge.

This remarkable and timely book is written by a son of the late
Prince of Samos, a former Minister of the Sultan, and formerly
Governor of Crete. Translated by ARTHUR HORNBLOW. The
high position which the writer's father held at Constantinople gave
the son a close insight into the personality of one of the least known
of modern rulers. The author has left the domain of the Sultan of
Turkey, and is now a resident of Paris. He has been recently con-
demned to death by the Sultan on account of this book.

Desire," has doubtless widened the circle of Mr.
W. B. Yeats's readers, and all those who felt the
exquisite charm of that bit of dramatic poetry will
be glad to make the acquaintance of “The Shadowy
Waters," the poet's latest work. This, too, is
dramatic in form, but woven of a dream-tissue so
impalpable that ordinary words are well-nigh pow-
erless to convey the impression that it leaves upon
the mental vision of the reader. The poet says in
a proem,
“My dreams were cloven by voices and by fires ;
And the images I have woven in this story
Of Forgael and Dectora and the empty waters
Moved round me in the voices and the fires."
The story is of a galley of adventurers who have
sailed far northward, and whose
“Sail has passed
Even the wandering islands of the gods,
And hears the roar of the streams where, druids say,
Time and the world and all things dwindle out."
The sailors seek to slay the leader who has thus
taken them far from the haunts of men and the
hope of booty, but are restrained by the music of
his magic barp. Unexpectedly a strange ship is
sighted, presently captured, and its crew put to the
sword. A fair woman alone is spared, and she, at
first defiant, succumbs to the spell of the harp, and
gives herself heart and soul to the player. Their
companions left upon the captured ship, these two,
filled with a vision of the land of heart's desire,
where love shall be changed from “brief longing,
and deceiving hope, and bodily tenderness” to
“imperishable fire," speed still further northward
“ to the streams where the world ends." As the
poem closes, Dectora puts her arms about Forgael,
and thus adjures him:-
“Bend lower, O King,
O flower of the branch, O bird among the leaves,
O silver fish that my two hands have taken
Out of a running stream, O morning star
Trembling in the blue heavens like a white fawn
Upon the misty border of the wood,
Bend lower, that I may cover you with my hair,
For we will gaze upon this world no longer.”
Even so summary an account as has here been
attempted does wrong to the haunting beauty of
this poem ; for its finer qualities elude both analysis
and exhibition.
One does not expect great poetry from Sir Lewis
Morris, and one must be prepared to find in his
work whole tracts of bald platitude and incurable
commonplace. Yet it is impossible to withhold a
certain tribute of respect from a man who has
through a long life so respected the art of song,
and, to use his own words, “ has throughout endeav-
oured to follow the honoured traditions of English
poetry." In bis new "Harvest-Tide” he has brought
together his poems of recent years, and the collec-
tion includes an ode for the Victorian jubilee of
1897, a long narrative poem called “A Georgian
Romance," a philosophical disquisition on “ The
March of Man,” and a considerable variety of
lesser pieces. Tennyson's “ The Higher Pan-
theism” is followed at a marked distance -in
the couplets of "A New Orphic Hymn," which
opens in the following fashion :
“The stars, the skies, the peaks, the deeps of the fathom-
less seas,
Immanent is He in all, yet higher and deeper than these."
The Tennysonian influence is apparent in many of
these productions, and notably in the writer's in-
sistence upon the spiritual struggle which man is
ever called upon to wage with the brutal strain in
his inheritance. One poem, “ The Union of Hearts,"
is a pæan of praise for the defeat of Spain by the
United States.
"The igles once more are free,
No more the down-trod peoples cry in vain,
In long-unheeded pain ;
They are free, they are free once more, after rebellious years
Of misery and tears.'
In view of subsequent happenings, these lines have
an unintended irony that even the writer can hardly
fail to see.
Mr. Lawrence Binyon’s “Odes” are eight in
number, moderate in length, upon such themes as
“ The Bacchanal of Alexander," " The Death of
Tristram,” “Orpheus in Thrace," and "The Belfry
of Bruges." We quote a fine passage from the
“ Orpheus” poem, the singer's apostrophe to his
lyre.
“Ah, marvellous once was thy power
In the marvellous days of old !
I touched thee, and all hearts heard,
And the snake had no thought to devour.
And the shy fawn stayed and was bold,
And the panther crept near in desire;
And the toppling symplegades hung
To hearken thy strings as I sung,
And Argo glanced through like a bird,
Like a swallow, to hear thee, my lyre!"
These “Odes” are not deeply impressive, but they
are serious and dignified poems, with striking dra-
matic effects, and inspired by a noble idealism.
Mr. Sidney Royse Lysaght, the author of “Poems
of the Unknown Way,” is a new writer to us, and
one whose first volume (if this be his first) strikes
a note of austere idealism that is uncommon enough
to arrest attention. It is the note of failure, in a
sense, of disillusionment, and of brooding melan-
choly, but it is also the note of determination to
make the best of spiritual defeat, and to rise above
the wreck of an old faith to the plane of a new and
higher hope. There is nothing finer in the volume
than its dedication “ To my Comrades," from which
we quote.
“You, who once dreamed on earth to make your mark,
And kindle beacons where its ways were dark;
To whom, for the world that had no need of you,
It once had seemed a little thing to die;
Who gave the world your best, and in return
No honors won, and no reward could earn!
Sad Comrade, we were shipmates in one crew,-
Somewhere we sailed together, you and I.
“You against whom all fates have been arrayed ;
Who heard the voice of God and disobeyed;
Who, reckless and with all your battles lost,
Went forth again another chance to try;

Who, fighting desperate odds yet fought to win,
And sinning bore the burden of your sin !
We have been on the same rough ocean tossed,
And served the same wild captain, you and I.”
Mr. Lysaght's poems are grouped in two sections,
“ The Undiscovered Shore," and “A Ritual.”
From the former group we take “ The Penalty of
Love," a sonnet quite beautiful enough to be its own
excuse for being.
“If love should count you worthy, and should deign
One day to seek your door and be your guest,
Pause l ere you draw the bolt and bid him rest,
If in your old content you would remain.
For not alone he enters : in his train
Are angels of the mists, the lonely quest,
Dreams of the unfulfilled and unpossessed,
And sorrow, and Life's immemorial pain.
“He wakes desire you never may forget,
He gbows you stars you never saw before,
He makes you share with him, for evermore,
The burden of the world's divine regret.
How wise are you to open noti -and yet,
How
poor
if
you should turn him from the door."
More in keeping with the suggestion of the sub-
title is such a poem as “ The Ends of the Earth,”
with its almost Swinburnian movement. The follow-
ing stanza may be said to sound the keynote of the
poet's whole thought:
" When man wins truth from the years, the loss with his
dreams he pays;
But in time the knowledge he won but leads again to a
dream.
And the wonder ever remains; and a mystery more supreme
Than the distant promised of old, is hidden in homely ways.'
Mr. Lygaght's “ Ritual” expresses a faith that is
well represented by the following lines:
“Be it our ritual to read
In Life our Faith, in Truth our Creed.
Let Fear its graven tables break,
And Love our ten commandments make.
Let us, when heaven no light imparts,
Our gospel seek in human hearts ;
Our hymns of praise on children's lips;
In Beauty, our Apocalypse,
And let the burdens all must bear
In silence, be our common prayer;
Let every flower that cleaves the sod
Become to us a word of God;
And, lifting heavenward Life's intent,
Love be, itself, our Sacrament!"
The religious feeling of these lovely verses may seem
unsatisfactory to souls stiffened by formalism and
wedded to outworn creeds, but it is nevertheless
religious feeling of the most vital and inspiring sort,
and its sanctions spring from the deepest founts of
the spiritual life.
“The Queen's Chronicler and Other Poems" is a
volume of verse by Mr. Stephen Gwynn. We say
“ verse" advisedly, for Mr. Gwynn, although an
excellent craftsman in various forms of prose, has
little of the poet's inspiration, and plain sense rather
than emotional quality is the salient characteristic
of his measures. The title-poem is a versification of
the Mary Stuart story after Brantôme. The follow-
ing stanza is typical of the form, besides serving to in-
dicate the author's attitude toward the rival queens.
"Well, there they stand, pursuer and pursued,
Famous alike now by the common voice.
One is the bad, no doubt, and one the good :
In one the gods, in one the devils, rejoice.
One has been canonised by Mr. Froude,
The other by old Brantôme; take your choice.
Say, for the name that each has after death,
Would you be Mary or Elizabeth ?"
This is the longest poem in the volume. The others
are of miscellaneous sort: descriptions, personal
tributes, historical episodes, and philosophical mus-
ings. “A Death Mask” is a pathetic piece, sugges-
tive of Browning, inspired by the sight of a woman's
body in the Paris Morgue.
“Those baffling eyes! - Behind each lid,
Each drawn-down lid, the soul shines through,
And you can tell that they were blue, -
And yet what message hold they hid ?
Damb eyes ! But he that saw them turn,
How deep! how soft! and melt and yearn
In utter love upon him bent,
Never saw them so eloquent.
Who shall divine ? But if her leap
To other lands than lands of sleep
Launch her, and he may follow, where
He can confess till his life lies,
Pierced through and thrilling with ber eyes,
He yet may be forgiven there.''
Mr. Arthur Legge’s “ Town and Country Poems”
are fairly described by this title. Some of the pieces
evoke images of natural beauty, and the thoughts
that cannot escape the reflective mind when in the
presence
of the woods and the fields; others betray
the shrewd observation of a dweller among men,
inspired to a semi-satirical philosophy by the trivial
preoccupations and the feverish unrest of modern
life. In both classes of poems, the manner is pleas-
ant enough, but the technique is mechanical, and
there is little of the deeper sort of poetic emotion.
The author is at his best in such a piece as Gipsy
Souls,” from which we will quote.
“There is a secret brotherhood, whose rules
Are never framed, whose watchword is unknown,
Whose dogmas flourish not in learned schools,
Whose creed is but a precept to disown
The wisdom of a world that names them fools;
A band where brother scarce encounters brother,
But treads the maze alone,
Doubtful of life's enrichment with another
To share his thought, bruised in the human press,
And as the roving wind companionless."

"They glide like shadows through the trailing years,
Their voice a cry from an eternal Past.
Their laughter floats across a wave of tears;
They play with all the passions, and are cast
Into Love's furnace of delights and fears;
But Hope's brave banner, on the tide of Sorrow,
Floats proudly from their mast.
They lose not Yesterday, yet win To-morrow;
And, where the golden sunset flames afar,
They seek their baven in an unborn star."
These are the first and last stanzas of a poem that
has given us unusual pleasure.
“ Deirdre Wed” is the title poem of Mr. Herbert
Trench’s volume, and is longer than all the “other
poems ” taken together. Since Mr. Trench affects
