This company was formed in 1667 and had its charter be- stowed upon it by King Charles II. Among its shareholders were many of the most prominent men in England, including the celebrated Prince Rupert and the Duke of York. Charles granted the company imperial rights to the Jarge teritory known as Prince Ruperts Land and all the region drained by the waters running into Hudson Bay, the Arctic and the North Pacific slopes. It was to enjoy the “whole, entire and only liberty and trade and traffic,” as their charter said, and to possess the right to seize upon the property and persons of all competitors, British or foreign; make and enforce law, admin- ister justice, build and garrison forts, maintain ships of war and exercise mil- flight toward the sacred city, Damas- cus. Then with his faithful drudge of a wife Hasneh loaded with the house- hold belongings and he himself com- fortably disposed upon the back of a mule, Said launches himself into the hazardous world with “‘all to gain and nothing to lose.’ How Said finds his wife a useless burden and leaves her upon the hospi- tality of some of his new-found friends, how he suddenly finds himself great in the eyes of his fellows thro._h ghe virtue of a braid-embroidered dressing gown stolen from a Christian missionary, and how he finally arrives at Damascus richer than before is then chronicled by the author. By his su- preme power of telling the most won- derful lies and by the adroit .assump- tion of a dignity commensurate with self that the author cannot fool HIM about such things; result, mutual satls- faction. So then, there will be many who will sit up of nights to read “Sylvia’s Husband,” by Mrs. Burton Harrison. Sounds like “The Douk Decides” or “Lady Trevelyan's Blunder'"—that title, “Sylvia’s Husband.” Far be it from saying that Mrs. Burton Harri- son’s latest novel should be thought to be of the “Happy Hour" series or that it is purchasable in paper at any news stand. It was run in Smart Jet, if one mistakes not, and of course that gives it caste. ‘“‘Sylvia’s Husband” is one of those delightfully demure novels of marriage, intrigue, scandal and di- vorce, where ‘“certain situations are handled with exquisite delicacy,” Ballyrig Castle, the Irish summer valuable reference to writers and users of polished language. For, as Professor Billaudeau says in his foreword, ““Our experience professor and our personal tions have long since taught us that the great difficulty in the study of lan- found alone i knowledge of the vocabulary or the grammar, but, more than.that besides, in the judicious use of forms of speech and the special turn of the phrase in each idiom.” (Buyveau & Chevillet, editors.

The fortbecoming volume is to be illustrated from original photo- graphs. It is seldom that a novel has begun its serial appearance with such bril- liancy as that which attends Robert Herrick’s “The Common Lot,” now running in the Atlantic Monthly. Many of the periodicals and reviews have already taken occasion to comment upon the significant fact that ail the four important serials now beginning in American magazines are serious and telling studies of American life as it is; and they agree in finding Mr. Herrick's story - the young architect with ideals practicing his profession with a ‘“‘commercial” firm in Chicago not the least powerful of them. The editors of the Atlantic have intimated that Mr. Herrick’s plot has a singular- ly fatalistic foreshadowing in the re- cent terrible catastrophe at the Imu- humed and renublished. e NewBooks Received THE DELIVERANCE, Ellen Glas- gow; Doubleday, Page & Co., New York; illustrated: ice $1 30.
