THE SUNDAY CALL g < CONDUCTED BY | , B. G. LATHROP | %+ SR of publishers in the ates how few of them really book typographical work binding of any eiegance or ar- tistic merit. The general idea seems to be to print and bind the work as cheaply and gaudily as possible and then send 1t merrily to be thrown away as soon ot the cheapness so much as it is the lack of tas ths class of work that should be criticized. We caanot all afford to have the volumes of our library of an edition de luxe, buc it would cer- tainly be a comfort to have them clothed, at Jeast t degree, in dress not en- tirely offensive to the artistic eye. bookmaking is an art in itself is deplorable that public demand enough to induce the pub- lishers a ge to give it more of their attention. Here in San Francisco there seems to be growing interest in this to by the fine samples r work to be seen at the recent i of the Bookbinders' Guild of California If a book is des g of permanent preservation for service it cannot be too well too well bound.

It is a coliection of essays in more or less serious vein. We sax v visedi “Now the well of truth *Tis an ink well.” ILLUSTRATIONS FROM for if you compare it with the work from this author's pen that we know so well it is certainly “more” serious, but in comparison with other essays from other pens it is “less” serious.

This is so, but still may prove mislead- ing to the reader who takes authors’ in- trcductions as gospel truth and accepts them literally. Some may form the opin- ion that now we are to have writing with none of the old Burgess flavor, but in its place we are to read literature permeated with the spirit of the newyBurgess, the real Burgess, who comes forth to lay bare his soul and possibly make amends to his conscience for the twisted-upside- down-humor of past years. Not at all. It is the same Burgess with the same ver- satility and the same weird and original coneeits. Here is Burgess has just a little sentence.

It should have other uses than to provide mere warmth, though this is often its sole reason for being. Nor should it be a mere culinary nccessity, though#l have known open fires to be kindled for thal'aione. and treated as do- mestic servants. Ip my house the fire has ail these functions and more, for it is my friend and has consoled many: lonely moments. It is a mistress, full of unexpected fancies and vagaries. It has, too. a more sacred qoality, for it is an altar where I burn the incense of nmemory and sacrifice to the gods of the future. It is both human and divine, & tool and symbol at_onc No one,. 1 think, can know how much of all this a fire can be who has mot himseif laid, lighted and kindled and coaxed it, Who has not d its services and gecapted its conso- fire is, however, often a jealous mistress.

Such an opportunity would certainly ap- peal to the mind of the most prosaic. But there are really very few of us who are S¢ favored, and then, again, if we were given the opportunity of hieing ourselves aloft in one of the ships of the Air as they stand at the present day it is doubt- ‘ful whetber we should wish to trust our necks to so flimsy a bubble as a hydrogen bag. Those who have the chance offered and grasp. the opportunity, even at the risk of their lives, all agree that it is the most thrilling, awe-inspiring voyage pos- sible, even In this up-to-date period of fast boats, trains and.speclally arranged scenic mountain trips or even loop-the- loops. ¥ It is quite within the training of the modern mind to understand and appre- clate any accounts of such trips, but it is no light matter for the pen of the voy- ager to deal with a subject at once so adventurous and combining with all the danger such an element of poetry. To write an adequate account of such an “experience- the author must be at once a- man of iron nerve, of keen observation, a poet and an artist. He must expect at any moment to have his life endangered by some sudden and unlooked for acel- dent, yet all the while he must look upon such possibilities as entirely beneath his consideration, and concern himself merely ;vlllh all the wondrous happenings about hiim. It is no light matter to take a voyage in the air, and much more difficult to wflrtde an adequate account of it after- ward. The best bit of pen-picturing of this kind in print is “A Balloon Ascension at Midnight,” by George Eli Hall, Consul General of Turkey in S8an Francisco. This article, which is the description of a first balloon journey in Paris in June, 1801, first appeared in the San Francisco Argo- naut. It attracted so much attention that }mpulnr demand warranted its appearance ‘in book form. ' Elder, & Shepard®have broyght out a particularly artistic edition illustrated with some striking silhouettes in color by Gordon Ross. One of.the pictures is shown on this page: Mr. Hall in this exciting trip through the air not only had time to assist in saving sthe balloon from a smashup, but he saw and appreciated everything that there was 'to be seen, and, better yet, his wiiting possesses the rare power of mak- ing the reader live ovér for himself those hours of journeying in wonderland. You probably cannot take a baHoon trip of your own, but you will find in this sketch a very close approximation to a personal experierce.

Ar advance review says: “The most af- firmative dicta by David Starr Jordan, who is not noted for negative aqualities when it éomesbto public utierance, are contained in'his attack on ‘The Phil- csophy of Defpair,’ and it is likely to be the book by which Dr. Jordan will be test known as a thinker and analyst cf sceial conditions of his age.” Dr. Jordan's crced is one of nmimlsgp and thé summary of his creed is to be fcund in this essay which attacks the cieed of pessimism. To be sure, he Aackrnowledges that despair is 2 dving fad that one"life chn inhabit more than one physical body:" r ‘With respect’ to-the justice of the uni- verse the writer says: “All shall have their chahce. Those to whom opportunity is denied, those who are cut off inf infancy or youth—even the defective and dement- ed—shall have their chance. The dullest thing shall have its chance. Nature is as_just to the meanest insect as to the ncblest man’” It must be conceded that sich dogmatic statements sound comfort- irg, but unfortunately “having a chance” and getting justice are two - diffcrent things—one may have a chance in a lot- tery. Moréover il profits nothing to say that nature is as just to the meanest in- scct as to- the noblest-man, unless one can prove that she jis just to the noble, man. Mr. Smith explains, however, that the justice is not in this life, but in an- other. Despite the insufficiencies of the argu- ment the book is bright, wholesome. It may not convince skep- tics, but it at least serves to remind them that the problem of justice and im- mortality is not to be solved wholly by materialism. Published by Houghton, Mifitin & Co. Price $125. Destruction of St. Pierre. R. F. Fenno, the New York publisher, already has a popular volume in the fieid on the “Destruction of St. Pierre, Mar- tinique.” The authors are J. Herbert Welch and H. E. Taylor. The work has been complled undeggpfour different but re- lated heads. as follows: “The Destruction ILLUSTRATION FROM “A BALLOON ASUENSION AT MIDNIGHT” in this new century, and that the newest fasbion is the strenuous life. ‘“‘Equally unreasoning it may ‘be, but far more whclesome,” he says. It is to show that although unreasonfng 't is not unreason- able that he has attacked the philosophy of despair. “To-day is your day. and mine,” he says, “‘the only day we have, the day in which we must play our part. What our part may signify in the great whole we may not understand, but we are here to play it, and now:is our itime. This we know, it'ds a part of actien, not of whin- ing. It Is a part of loye, not cynicism. It is for us to express love in terms of human helpfulness. This we know, for we have learned from sad expenience that any other course of life leads toward decay and waste.” (Published by Elder & Shepard. Price, regular edition, % ceats; flexible suede, $150; in full leather, hand carved and colored, $4; Hmited edi- tion, $.) The Cynic’s Calendar. A dainty little Christmas gift for those seeking an attractive novelty rather than an_expensive present is “The Cynic's Calendar of Revised Wisdom for 1903 by Oliver Herford, Ethel Watts Mumford and Addison Mizfier. Two of the illustra- tions are shown on. this page. This is a calendar “in. book .form with a week of dates to the pagesand plenty of space for memoranda. ~Messrs. Eider & Shepard, the publishers, have given -the Uttie volume a fanciful dress,.and the typographical work is of a superior char- acter, while the illustrations in red and black add greatly to the pieasing char- acter of the calendar. But the best part of “The Cynic's Calendar” lies in the Witty turning given by the authors (o the various olu-time proverbs and sayings. Her¢ are some of them that will sound familiar to your ears and the twisted bumor will appeal to any one’s bump of fun: “God gives us our relatives—Thank God we can choose our friends”; “Misery loves company, but company does not re- ciprocate”; “Look before you sleep’; “It's a poor story that cam't be worked two ways”; “Many are called, but few get up,” etc. The price is 75 cents. Children of the Thornwreath. Under the prettily sad title of “The Children of the Thornwreath” Gertrude L. Page has collected into a group of short stories her experiences as a nurse in the Children's Hospital. Aside from its real literary merit this book is deserving of a hearty greeting, for it has been pub- lished for the benefit of the Children’'s Hospital. The author writes with full sympathy in her work, and all of the stories that she has to tell arefeplete in human interest—they come “from the heart and go to the heart. The motif of the book is found rather in the joyous- . ness of childhood as exemplified even in_ the bare surrou of a hospitalthamn in the pathetic scenes that must reces- sarily arise in a place of pain and sick- ness. The {llustrations and decorations add much to the attractiveness of the book, for they are very well done. They are the work of Marion Holden. The full-page and marginal illustrations are printed in delicate tints, and the binding is a gay French fabric of blue and white, with decorations in gold., (Price $150.) Eternalism. Concerning the fmmortality of the soul and the existence of a law of exact jus- tice in the universe there have always Leen almost as many opinions as there are thinkers, Every year presents a new beok on the subject and every new book presents a new idea, or rather a new evi- derice of a lack of ideas. The latest from an American author is ‘“Eternalism,” by ‘Orlando J: Smith, and consists of an elal oration of the views presented some time ogo in a little volume entitled “A Short View of Great Questions.” The book is well worth the reading, though it is hardly likely to be counted ° an important contribution’to the sei- . erce of philosophy. As an illustration of Mr. Smith's capacity as a reasoner it suffices to say that he regards the devel- opment of a butterfly from-a cocoon as @ proof of the immortality of the soul; or, as he says: “This transformation demonstrates the fact of the pre-exist- ence and after-existence of an individual life—that pre-existence and after-exist- ence belong to the order-of nature,. At the very least it answers completely the assumption that there is anything: unrea- sonable or unscientific, fanciful or con- trary to the natural order in the theory of St. Plerre,” ‘“La Soufriere—The Catas- trophe Eruptions and Some Earthquakes” and “The Causes of Volcanic Action.” The ac- count of the terrible disaster is plain and direct and largely made up of the per- sonal experiences and observations of eye- witnesses. book form, it has the great advantage over all previous accounts of giving the story as it really happened, without all the conflicting and misleading statements that were published at the time when such confusion reigned that it was almost impossible to get facts in their proper se- quence of event. on St. Vincent Isiand,” *“Other Presented as this matter is The Founding of Fortunes.

American Expansion. Under the title, “The Territorial Growth of the United States,’” Willlam A. Mowry has given in a corcise form an interesting account of the various steps in expansion which have carried the loriginal thirteen States of the American Union across the continent and to_Porto Rico, Alaska, Hawail ‘and the Philippines. The table of contents affords a clear conception of the scope of the book. The twelve chap- ters are devoted to (I.) the origifal thir- teen States, (I1.):the Northwest Terri- tory, (IIL.) ILoulsiana, (IV.) Florida, (V.) Texas and New Mexico, (VI.) California, (VIL) Oregon, (VIIL) Alaska, (IX.) Ha- wali,” (X.)' Porta Rico, (XI.) the Philip- pine Islands: (XIL) conclusion. ‘Wkile the book is tersely written it con- tains a‘vast deal of information on the course of events which led up to the an- nexation of each separate addition to the national territory. The story.in many in. stances shows a marvelous fortune on the side of the republic; ‘or; as Mr. Mow- ry puts itz “The special favor of Divine Providencée toward this country appears uagain and agaln in the course of our his- tory, particularly irf the results of the old French and Indian wars,.the purchase of Leuisiana, -the ‘acquisition of New Mex- ico and California and the saving of Ore- gon from the grasp of Engtand.” One of the interesting fedtures of th> story is the showing made of the extent of oppesition to each step in expansion. Some of the strongest men in.our own country opposed the Loufsiana purchase and the annexation’of Texds.” Even Ore- gen did not escape without antagonism. Mr. Mowry quotes a leading mewspaper cf 1842 saying: *“Of all countries on the face of the earth, Oregon is one of the least favored by heaven. It is the mere riddlings of creation. It is almost as barren as Sahara and quite as unhealthy as the Campagna in Italy. Russia bas her Stberia and England her Botany Bay, and if the United States should ever need a courtry to which to banish her rogues and scoundrels, the utility of such a re- gion would be demonstrated.” The book is enriched with many maps, which give a picture of the Unlan at each new stage of its development. Al- together the work is a valuable contribu- tion to our historical literature and will enable theé:redder without much study .o master the various causes which have at once impelléd and led us onward in the path of empire. 4 “The Territorial Growth of the United States,” “William A. Mowry. Published by Silver, Price §13 The Girl Proposition. Somebody seriously proposed the other day that a chalr of American slang be founded in our principal colleges, on ac- count of the popularity of George Ade. But the people understand George Ade very well without any help from the col- lcges, because he writes in a language which everybody understands. “The Girl Proposition; a Bunch of He and She Fa- bles” is the title of his latest book most attractively published by R. H. Russell, New York, and it proves that Mr. Ade's veln is very far from being exhausted. The present volume is, as its title indi- cates, a series of extraordinarily clever sketches on a theme that is very dear to the author’s heart and which is vastly in- teresting to most people. “The Girl Propo- sition” is packed with sense and wit and ertertainment, all in the inimitable Ade vein, and is the best work this popular writer has yet done.
