New Books at the Institute THE CRAFT OF FICTION by Percy Lubbock, “An analysis of the art of making novels; ineluding an exumination and compartson in detall of the work of representative novels by noted writers Including Tolstoy, Klambert, Balzac, Dickens, and Henry Jam e THE CRUISE OF THE DREAM SHIP by Ralph Stock, “Ralph 8tock bubbles with mirth all the way from Devon to the South Sea Islands, in his second-hand cutter, throughout an amazing voyage half way round the world, He catches the spirit of quaint ports, an reaches and exotic atmospheres,” e FIFTY YEARS A JOURNALIST by 3. Stone, ‘nces of Mr, Stone, under the title fty years a Journalist,’ might well convey the mistaken im- pression that the author of this charming anecdotal autoblography is now an old man living solely in the memories of the past, It is true that Melville Stone was born in Illinois in 1848. In due time he became the most widely known personage in American Journalism and his reminiscences, covering half a century, bring back many forgotten things and are withal exceedingly entertaining.” Review of Reviews, e LIFE AND LETTERS OFF HENRY LEE HIGGINSON by Bliss Perry. “Major Henry Lee Higginson, | founder and for nearly forty years, | sustainer of the Toston symphony orchestra, was one of the notable fig- ures of his generation. In this very very human record of his friend's 1if Bliss Pery has drawn freely upon Ma- Jor Higginson's diaries and letters from his early days as a music stu- dent in Kurope, through his period of service in the Civil War and his later business experience."” .o MEMORIES AND NOTES OI" PER- SONS AND PLACES by Sidney Colvin. “In the midst of many autoblogra- phies Sir Sidney Colvin takes high place because of a personal quali that is intimate without being egoti tical and because of its unpretentious manner as a4 serles of impressions of the scenes and people about him, in which he plays the part of the on- looker. Moreover it contains much that is new and permanently valuable in.its contri ion to the biographical records of its time.” Boston Trans- cript. R THE MIND HEALYR by Ralph Dur- d. his is a delightful comedy, tend- {ng now and then towards farce, but always handled with deftness and kept just within bounds. The texture of Mr. Durand's style is also above the ordinary. The humer of the book is genuine and also clean, and the por- | trayal of the erratic doctor is a char- acter sketch of some subtlety.” Liter- ary Review. e NEW MASTERS OF BALTIC by Ar- thur Ruhl. “The four republics on the eastern Baltic, Finland, Esthonia, Latvia and Lithuania which owe their inde- pendence to the World War and the Russian revolution, having each had a social revolution of its own, aie now settling down to a steady gov- ernment. The author, who has had unusual opportunities for observing in these countries the revolutions which established their independence, sketches the events of their transi- tion period, the dominant personali- ties which helped to shape these events and the characteristics of the governments which are forming.” .- u OF ALL THINGS by Robert Bench- ley. “Robert Benchly is an American humorist and it is truthful to say t he has only to write one or two more books as good as ‘Of All Things' to take the place that Artemus Ward and George Ade held in their own days. His book has an amusing preface and contains some twenty or more essays, from ‘The Social T.ife of the Newt' to ‘A Romance in Encyclopedia Land.” Independent. s 2 EE A H(\CIAIA" HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN NEGRO by Benja- min Griffith Brawley. “Besides being a history of the ne- gro problem in the United States, the [, book includes a history and study of the republic of Liberia. Since in other books on the negro political and military features have been emphasized this volume at- tempts to present their history from the social point of view, to study the actual life of the negro people in it- self and in connection with that of the nation.” JEW by Ernest Temple Thurston. “This play has been performed with success in London and New York. It has a declded theatrical value as a pictorial and romantic melodrama. On the whole it is better written than most pieces of its class and exhibits cleverness of invention and in one or two places flashes of dramatic imagin- ation.” Literary Review. .o WHITE HEADED BOY bySLennox Robinson. “By shifting from country-folk to small town people, Mr. Lennox Robin- son has achieved a delightful variant of Irish comedy. The whiteheaded hoy is comedy in the first place and Trish incidentally—an unpretentious, gay, spirit piece of entertainment at the ex- pense of the human race.” New Re- public. e Fiction . r e ARRANT ROVER by B.
