EPUB

which was in type before its author's death, deals specially with those Post-Darwinian theories which involve fundamental questions of heredity and utility. An admirable photogravure portrait of Romanes is the frontispiece to this volume. Then you will be glad to add to your other volumes of the Social Science Series, Dr. Giles's "Moral Pathology" (Sonnenschein, 2s. 6d.). It deals with its subject in rather too sentimental a manner, I think. The first part of Dr. Jane Walker's "A Book for Every Woman" (Longmans, 2s. 6d.), dealing with "the management of children in health and out of health," is a volume which you are sure to find a use for.

In theology I have very little to send you besides Mr. Horton's "The Teaching of Jesus," to which I have already referred. You will be interested, though, in Dr. MacKennal's "The Seven Churches in Asia considered as Types of the Religious Life of To-day" (Stock, 3s. 6d.), seven chapters whose subjects and method are suggested by their titles-"Ephesus, the Strenuous Church," "Laodicea, the Self-Complacent Church," "Philadelphia, the Patent Church," etc. Dr. Stewart's Handbook of Christian Evidences" (Black, 1s. 6d) has appeared in a new and more convenient form as a volume of the Guild Library.

In books of geographical interest your parcel is this month unusually rich. First I must notice the largest and most permanently useful, "Longmans' Gazetteer of the World" (Longmans, 42s.), which, edited by Mr. George Chisholm, is certainly the most exhaustive and the most reliable work of its kind that has appeared. It is astonishing how complete and how numerous its entries are; and it is an advantage that each has a separate paragraph. It is a huge book and an expensive one, out it is well worth the money it costs. Then there is Lord Cavan's "With Yacht, Camera, and Cycle in the Mediterranean" (Low, 12-. 6.1.), a volume useful alike to the ordinary tourist, the yachtsman, and the cyclist, for its author has carefully culled information for each. But its pictures give the work its chief value-nearly a hundred excellent full-page photogravures from prints taken under the direct supervision of the Earl, and giving a splendid idea of the many ports and places which his party visited. "Algerian Memories: a Bicycle Tour over the Atlas to the Sahara" (Unwin, 6s.), by Mr. and Mrs. Workman, may suggest new fields for you and your children to conquer on your cycles. After all, Algeria is easily accessible. Dr. William Wright's "An Account of Palmyra and Zenobia, with Travels and Adventures in Bashan and the Desert" (Nelson, 7s. 6d.), is a very interesting chapter of Eastern life and travel, of the explorations and events of the nine years during which its author lived in Syria. The many illustrations and the maps add to its value and interest. Another book dealing with the East is purely a guidebook-" A Guide to Constantinople " (Black, 2s. 6d.), by Demetrius Coufopoulos, a dragoman of many years' experience. It is a book you may easily find useful. A guide-book that is, in its way, a real piece of literature is Mr. Cunninghame Graham's "Notes on the District of Mentieth for Tourists and Others " (Black, 1s.); and you should be especially interested in "The New Forest, its Traditions, Inhabitants, and Customs" (Murray, 7s. 6d.), by Miss Rose C. de Crespigny and Mr. Horace Hutchinson, a comely volume fully illustrated and with a good map. Picturesque New Zealand" (Cassell, 6s.) is a book crammed full of pictures and descriptive letterpress, and it has the advantage of a commendatory introduction by Sir W. B.

Perceval, the Colony's Agent-General; and the series of Lord Brassey's writings has had added to it his "Voyages and Travels," two volumes (Longmans, 5s. each), edited by Captain Eardley-Wilmot. They are made up of lectures, magazine articles and pamphlets, and deal with Algeria, the Suez, Canal, the West Indies, the United States, India, Australia and a voyage round the world; and they contain the necessary maps. Talking about maps, I send you a couple of good atlases which Messrs. Philip have just published, both being from the hand of Mr. Ravenstein. "The Handy-Volume Atlas of the World" (5s.) is really a new edition, but as it contains seventy-two new and specially engraved plates, you will be glad of it, even if you have the old edition already on your shelves. It is of a convenient pocket size, and the statistical notes and the index are well compiled. The other is "The School Edition of the Systematic Atlas, Physical and Political" (10s. 6d.), and is a smaller edition of the larger "Systematic Atlas," specially designed "to meet the requirements of pupils in higher schools, of teachers, and of other students of geography, for whom neither the ordinary school atlas nor the general reference atlas is entirely adequate." Its index includes twelve thousand names. Another volume which may be useful, if you are ever inclined on your holidays to cast your eyes Hiberniawards, is Mr. Edgar Flinn's "Ireland: its Health Resorts. and Watering Places" (Baillière, 2s. 6d. net), which has a map and a few illustrations.

Among essays and books of distinctive literary interest, the first place belongs, of course, to “ Anima Poetæ, from the Unpublished Note-book of Samuel Taylor Coleridge" (Heinemann, 17s. 6d.), edited by his grandson, Mr. Ernest Hartley Coleridge. It is a volume of considerable size, made up of aphorisms, reflections, confessions and soliloquies from the many "pocket-books, note-books and copy-books, of all shapes, sizes and bindings" which the poet left behind him when he died, and which while he lived he made his constant companions. "Hints and first thoughts," Coleridge considered these notes and reflections, and certainly the majority are suggestive, thoughtful, and luminous in the extreme, and there is hardly one but is worth reading and considering. They will give valuable aid to the reader of Coleridge's poetry in forming an estimate, to quote from their editor, "of those strange self-communings to which Coleridge devoted so much of his intellectual energies, and by means of which he hoped to pass through the mists and shadows of words and thoughts to a steadier contemplation, to the apprehension, if not the comprehension, of the mysteries of truth and being." Next, I should mention Professor Dowden's "New Studies in Literature" (Paul, 12s.), a collection of nine papers absolutely lacking in connection, but well worth reprinting, with a lengthy introduction expressing "certain hopes and fears for literature at the present day, especially as those hopes and fears are connected with the democratic tendencies and scientific movement of our century." The most notable of the papers forming the bulk of the book are those on "Mr. Meredith in his Poems," "The Poetry of Robert Bridges," "The Poetry of John Donne," "Goethe," Coleridge as a Poet," "Literary Criticism in France," and "The Teaching of English Literature." We are likely to wait long until we can know with any approach to definiteness what kind of permanent place Stevenson is to hold in English literature, but in the meantime such an essay as Professor Raleigh's "Robert Louis Stevenson" (Arnold, 2s. 6d.) will help you in forming your own conclusion. Its author you already know as the

[ocr errors]

writer of the manual on "The English Novel," which gained such golden opinions from competent critics last year. The present essay is an expansion of a lecture delivered at the Royal Institution last May. For the same series that contained "The English Novel," Mr. J. W. Mackail has written a volume with similar aim on "Latin Literature" (Murray, 3s. 6d.), a careful and as adequate a survey as could be expected in the space. Mr. Swinburne's "A Study of Shakespeare" (Chatto, 8s.) is really a new edition, but its importance warrants me in mentioning it here.

Poetry is still rather a drug: the boom worked itself out months ago, and booksellers tell me that only one or two of the younger men have any permanent sale: Perhaps this is only a temporary reaction, and anyhow I make no apology for sending you Mrs. Marriott Watson's "Vespertilia and Other Verses" (Lane, 4s. 6d. net). Turn to "A Song of London" and then write and tell me if you do not consider it one of the most fascinating of the many lyrics our city has evoked. Here are two stanzas:

"O fair shines the gold moon

On blossom clustered eaves,
But bright blinks the gas-lamp
Between the linden leaves.
And the green country meadows
Are fresh and fine to see,
But the grey streets of London
They're all the world to me."

There are other good things in the volume, but that, I think, is the best. The title-poem itself is picturesque, but it is reasonless and unconvincing. "A Pomander of Verse" (Lane, 5s. net) is another collection of poems by a lady-a lady who prefers to be known, and has already a considerable reputation, as " E. Nesbit." It is a volume well worth your attention, for it contains lyrics and short pieces of beauty and extreme delicacy, verses which stand the test of being read aloud again and again. Mr. Lawrence Housman has designed a charming cover, a title-page, and decorations for the pages. We have women poets certainly when, in one month, I can send you two volumes so full of merit as are these. Original verse of another kind, a far different kind, is represented by Mr. Owen Seaman's "Tillers of the Sand" (Smith and Elder, 3s. 6d.), described as "a fitful record of the Rosebery Administration from the triumph of Ladas to the decline and fall off." Not Mr. Traill himself has written more amusing or more legitimately sarcastic pasquinades than these verses on the policy of Lord Rosebery and the Liberal party. The late Mr. Henry Thornton Wharton's "Sappho: Memoir, Text, Selected Renderings, and a Literal Translation" (Lane, 7s. 6d. net) has received so many additions and is so much improved since the appearance of the last edition, now long out of print, that it almost ranks as a new book. It contains a life of the poet, every line of her writing that has been discovered, with selected English renderings and a literal translation, and photogravure reproductiors of Mr. Alma Tadema's portrait, Clarkson Stanfield's picture of Mitylene, and two fragments of the Fayum manuscripts. It is impossible to imagine a more beautiful book, or a work for which lovers of poetry could be more grateful.

Among books of a miscellaneous kind Mr. Karl Károly's "A Guide to the Paintings of Venice" (Bell, 5s.), an historical and critical account of all the pictures in Venice, is perhaps the most useful. I must also mention Mr. R. W. Sindall's " Eye-Teaching in the SundaySchool" (S. S. U., 1s. 6d.), an illustrated handbook; Mr.

J. S. Shedlock's "The Pianoforte Sonata: its Origin and Development" (Methuen, 63.); Mr. J. H. Ellis's "Chess Sparks; or, Short and Bright Games of Chess" (Longmans, 4s. 6d.); Mr. H. E. Bird's "Chess Novelties and their Latest Developments" (Warne, 3s. 6d.); and the Rev. J. R. Miller's "Home-Making; or, The Ideal Family Life" (S. S. U., 3s. 6d.).

To turn to fiction-in addition to the two or three books I have already mentioned, the most important volumes I have to send are Miss Violet Hunt's "A Hard Woman: a Story in Scenes" (Chapman, 6s.), Mr. Walter Raymond's "In the Smoke of War: a Story of Civil Strife" (Arrowsmith, Bristol, 1s.), and, a new book by a new author, Mr. T. Inglis's " Dr. Quantrill's Experiment: the Chronicle of a Second Marriage" (Black, 3s. 6d.). Miss Hunt's "A Hard Woman" is a worthy successor to "The Maiden's Progress," but she has, I was glad to find, mitigated somewhat her habit of telling her story solely in dialogue. Here there is a maximum of dialogue to a minimum of description; but still the reader gets some relief from the continual flood of brilliant conversation, which is one of the chief attractions of the book. The heroine of "The Maiden's Progress" was not altogether a pleasant type; the heroine of this new story, the "hard woman "of the title, has no redeeming feature: she is selfish, ill-behaved in a fashionable way, heartless; and her whole nature is laid bare, plain for the reader to see. The pictures of smart society are well done, and were worth doing; but still the book, with all its extreme cleverness, its French qualities of wit and lightness, is not altogether amiable reading. But as I say, it is worth reading as it was worth writing, and is immensely clever. In Miss Hunt we have our English "Gyp." Mr. Raymond's "In the Smoke of War" is its author's first attempt at a novel dealing with an historical episode. History, however, is kept in the background; the prominent figures suffer from it, but are not actors; and we are allowed but a glimpse of Cromwell's figure as he surveys the progress of the battle of Langport. It is of course a Somersetshire story, and the atmosphere and dialect are reproduced in a way that is all Mr. Raymond's own. For the first work of a new writer "Dr. Quantrill's Experiment" is immensely promising. It begins brightly and briskly, and if towards the end, as comedy gives place to tragedy, the action drags rather and is confused, it is a fault natural enough in a writer who has yet to learn the completely happy manipulation of the incidents of his plot. A middle-aged bachelor marries his pretty housemaid, a girl in appearance and bearing far above her station. The result of this experiment in matrimony it would be unfair to divulge. It is the intrusion of coincidence and accident in the last scenes that mar the complete success of one of the most interesting and most original stories we have read this season. What Mr. Inglis has to guard against in future work is the involved plot built on fortuitous circumstance. But, anyhow, we shall look forward to his next book.

A couple of months ago I sent you a volume of short stories, "The King in Yellow," by Mr. Robert W. Chambers, an American writer whose work has only just secured a publisher over here. To-day I send his earlier book, a short novel, "In the Quarter" (Chatto, 2s. 6d.). It has the same characters, and deals with American student life in the Latin Quarter in just the same way as the latter stories did in "The King in Yellow." But the workmanship is not so fine, and although there is tenderness and humanity in the story, there is a touch or two of coarseness here and there of

which I am sure the Mr. Chambers who has written "The Street of Our Lady of the Fields" would not now be capable. And the hand of the novice, too, is shown by the constant intrusion of the long arm of coincidence. But all the same, it is a well-written little book, with many vivid pictures of the young artist's life in Paris. That it is reminiscent, in more ways than one, of "Trilby "should at the present time be a further recommendation. "A Japanese Marriage" (Black, 6s.), by Mr. Douglas Sladen, I ought by rights to have sent you weeks ago. It is put forth with the strongly avowed purpose of forwarding the cause of the Deceased Wife's Sister Bill, and it would be well if every novel with a purpose were so readable and so well written. And, knowing his Japan as few other writers of books know it, Mr. Sladen gives us in the course of his story descriptions of the country and the people, intimate and convincing.

Then, to the Zeit-Geist Library has been added Miss Nora Vynne's "A Man and his Womankind” (Hutchinson, 1s. 6d.), a clever, restrained little story, notable for the excellence of its character-drawing rather than for its somewhat uneventful plot; and Miss Helen Mathers has produced another novel, with the promising title of "The Lovely Malincourt" (Jarrold, 3s. 6d.). Both these I send, together with Mr. Joseph Hocking's "All Men are Liars" (Ward and Lock, 3s. 6d.), a rather long story of the old-fashioned sort, but better written. It is the kind of novel that runs with success as a serial in a religious weekly. A book of similar type is "The Heart of Man" (Warne, 3s. 6d.), by this author's better known brother, Mr. Silas K. Hocking. You will also find two new volumes of the collected translation of Ivan Turgenev's novels and short stories, containing "A Sportman's Sketches" (Heinemann, 3s. each, net).

CHILDREN WANTED AND UNWANTED.

L
AST month we succeeded in settling four children in
homes where there is every prospect of their being
happy and well taken care of. Everyday's experience
proves that the right way to approach this question of baby
exchange, is not from the point of view of the relatives of
the children who are to be placed, but from the point of
view of those who wish to adopt. This obviates a great
difficulty which has always oppressed me in handling
the matter. Most of the unwanted children who are, so to
speak, in the market for disposal, are illegitimate. Any
system of exchange or settlement which offered to find
homes for illegitimate children would tend directly and
inevitably to increase the supply of illegitimate children.
This has been proved over and over again by the experi-
ence of foundling hospitals. It is, therefore, necessary to
approach it from the other end, viz., to deal with the
needs of those who want children and have either lost
their own little ones or have made childless marriages,
or have never been married at all. The instinct of
parentage is very strong in many who have never been
in a position to undertake the responsibility of mother-
hood or fatherhood. The needs of such persons may be
met as I am trying to do it. I therefore publish a list of
the children that are practically on hand. I do not pub-
lish the list of applications I have received. Those who
wish to adopt these children can communicate with me.
There is a great deal of trouble entailed in adjusting the
supply to the demand, but it is at least a consolation to
know that in several cases childless homes have been
blessed by the welcome presence of a child.

LIST OF CHILDREN WHO MAY BE ADOPTED.

1. A little boy, 1 year and 9 months old. Fair, with flaxen hair; a nice healthy little fellow. Illegitimate.

2. A little boy, born July 28th last; more particulars not given, but correspondence with any one wishing to adopt a child offered.

3. A little boy. His mother died when he was one month old. No relatives able to help. Father alive, but in very poor circumstances, yet wishes to keep out of the workhouse.

4. A little boy. His mother would give up all claims on him if she found foster-parents willing to adopt him, as her husband is abroad, and she wishes to join him, and cannot take the baby with her. Will give all particulars if necessary.

5. A little girl, "quite a lovely child," and very healthy. Illegitimate. Born in the beginning of July.

6. A baby girl three and a half years of age. A pretty child. Very healthy and well grown. Brown hair, dark eyes, and pretty fair complexion. She is very sweet-tempered. She is illegitimate.

7. A baby boy. A year old. Of gentle birth. Deserted by its father.

8. A baby boy. Born October, 1894. Illegitimate.

9. A baby girl. A twin child of a soldier and his wife. The mother having to do laundry work, two babies to look after is too much for her.

10. A little girl, three and a half years of age. She is a bright healthy child, with dark hair and rosy cheeks.

11. A baby boy, rather fair. Illegitimate. About a month old. 12. A grandmother wants her grand-daughter to be adopted. She is eleven years of age, and a nice girl.

13. A baby boy. Illegitimate. About a month old. Fair child. Its mother is a lady.

14. A baby boy. Illegitimate.

15. A father, whose profession obliges him to move about constantly, would like both or one of his motherless girls adopted. Ages cleven and seven.

16. A married woman, whose husband has deserted her and her children, would be thankful to have her baby adopted. 17. A little girl, five and a half years old, of good family. Particulars to be given, when necessary.

The fame of the Baby Exchange seems to have gone far and wide. Punch satirised it in its pleasant genial fashion, and the French papers in particular have paid a great deal of attention to its development. As a result of this last phase of its popularity, I received a letter the other day from the camp of Chalon, addressed "W. T. Stead, Philanthrope, Bureau de Placement, London." The letter was from an officer who had been compelled to divorce his first wife and had married a second. He was still legally responsible for the maintenance of his only son by the first marriage. The lad is now nine and a half years old, and he is very anxious to find him a home away from the influence of his mother, and in some place where his presence would not irritate the second wife. I am afraid nine and a half years is rather old; but at the same time if any persons in this country wish to adopt a little French lad whose home lie is blighted, owing to these circumstances, I shall be very glad to put them into communication with the officer in question. I cannot undertake the responsibility that would be involved in bringing the boy over; that must be undertaken by the person who wants him.

I have received some touching letters from persons who have written to expostulate and protest concerning my refusal to proceed with the Marriage Bureau. Their letters, although they confirm me in my judgment that the need for such a Bureau is a felt want of modern civilisation, do not in any way remove the objection that has compelled me to abandon the proposal.
