F. Statham's "The New Kingdom" (Sonnenschein, 2s. 6d.) begins with a consideration of the "existing situation," and deals with such subjects as the Family and the State as units of society, the position of women, the State at work, and the place of religion. Mr. G. F. Emery's "Handbook for Parish Councils" and his "Handbook for Parish Meetings "(Low, 2s. each), both containing "a form of standing orders for regulating procedure," you are likely to find of considerable practical use; and Dr. J. G. Bourinot's "How Canada is Governed: a Short Account of its Executive, Legislature, Judicial, and Municipal Institutions, with an Historical Outline of their Origin and Development" (Arnold, 4s. 6d.), should interest you. Here, too, I may mention that I send a new and revised edition of Mr. William Tallack's "Penological and Preventive Principles, with Special Reference to England and America" (Wertheimer, 8s.).

66

I have some dozen new novels to send you, and all of them worth reading. Mr. George Meredith's "The Amazing Marriage" (Constable, 12s.) must have, of course, the first place. Certainly it contains in the first few chapters some of the best work that the author of "The Egoist" has ever done. But the high comedy of the story of Captain Kirby, the Old Buccaneer, and the Countess of Cressett, gives place after the first three chapters to the lives of a younger generation, and Mr. Meredith's manner changes to that to which his more recent novels have accustomed us. In truth, however, the whole book is the most delightful of reading: Mr. Meredith has already given us several masterpieces, The Amazing Marriage" is yet another to add to the shelf. Next, certainly, I must draw your attention to Mrs. W. K. Clifford's " A Flash of Summer" (Methuen, 6s.), must draw it the more particularly because the very qualities of its excellence forbid its wide popularity. "The Story of a Simple Woman's Life" the sub-title runs; it is rather her tragedy-the tragedy of the marriage of a young girl to a man old enough to be her father, who does not conceal from her that her money, not herself, was his attraction, and who spares her no cruelty and no indignity when he finds he is to be baulked of her promised fortune. But "A Flash of Summer" is not yet another story called forth by what Mrs. Clifford calls "resent controversial discussion." Its plot occurred to her, she says, "eight years ago, before marriage problems and questions had attained their present importance in fiction." It is "a story, and nothing else." Eight years ago, perhaps, we were not ripe in England for such a novel as is this a novel commencing with a miserable marriage, showing with infinite charm the effect of one half-year of happiness, one flash of summer, on an unhappy woman's nature, and ending with a suicide. But I am not sure that in the death of her heroine, paradoxical though it may appear, Mrs. Clifford is not restrained from the best possible conclusion by a fear of her public, some lingering respect for the old traditions of happy endings. Surely true art and a true tragedy would have made Katharine return to her husband. But the book, written with the greatest delicacy and refinement, has enough of anguish. Its dominant note is one of pity. But if "A Flash of Summer" is "a story, and nothing else," the same cannot be claimed for "The British Barbarians: a Hill-Top Novel” (Lane, 3s. 6d. net.), by Mr. Grant Allen. It is the successor to "The Woman who Did," carrying on that crusade to " a perverse generation"-the phrase is Mr. Allen's--which that famous novel was supposed to inaugurate. By the way, all Mr. Allen's talk about ideals and fresh air and decadent civilisation seems rather

absurd when one comes to notice that his "hill-tip novel " appears in the Key-Note Series; and has for cover and titlepage a design by Mr. Aubrey Beardsley of a housemaid of a type distinctly strumous. Another book Mr. Beardsley assists in producing is Mr. Walt Ruding's "An Evil Motherhood: an Impressionist Novel" (Mathews, 3s. 6d. net), the work evidently of a young man who takes himself very seriously indeed, and who has very decided and possibly original ideas about the true function and conduct of fiction. But this very fact it is that gives this curious, inexplicit story its interest. In the madhouse scenes I was reminded of Charles Reade, but the impressionist style in which the whole is written is reminiscent rather of certain of the more experimental of the younger Frenchmen. Impressionism would seem to be "the new thing" in fiction, for I have also to send you "An Impressicnist Diary" (Constable, 1s.), a very clever and bright little sketch, almost a short story, by Mr. Helmuth Schwartze, whose name is new to me. It has a depressing conclusion-another sign of modernity!—but it contains one scene, a proposal, of most excellent comedy. I don't remember a more unhackneyed and amusing scene of the kind in any recent novel. "Woman's Folly' " is the

title of the latest addition to the International Series (Heinemann, 2s. 6d.). It is translated by Miss Helen Zimmern from the Italian of Gemma Farrugia, and introduced by Mr. Edmund Gosse, who claims that "in the class of the emancipated New Woman it takes a foremost place, leaving "George Egerton' and Madame Sarah Grand panting far behind." You are not likely to agree with him there, but you will not be able to deny the almost ferocious strength and frankness of some of the chapters of the book, and the great power in the drawing of the three women, its heroines. Do you remember "The Great God Pan?" Its author, Mr. Arthur Machen, has just produced (again in the Key-Note Series) a new essay in the horrible-" The Three Impostors; or, The Transmutations" (Lane, 3s. 6d. net). It is a better book of its class than its predecessor, and more gruesome-perhaps indeed the best attempt at "unutterable horror" since "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde." Indeed Stevenson is obviously Mr. Machen's master: his method is quite frankly the method of "The New Arabian Nights." For the rest you must certainly read Max Nordau's novel, "A Comedy of Sentiment" (Heinemann, 6s.); Mr. Joseph Hatton's "When Greek Meets Greek (Hutchinson, 6s.); Mr. Frankfort Moore's "Phyllis of Philistia" (Hutchinson, 6s.); Mr. Tighe Hopkins's "Lady Bonnie's Experiment" (Cassell, 1s. 4d.), a short story spirited in the extreme, and with a pleasant vein of extravagant invention; Mr. J. Maclaren Cobban's "The King of Andaman : a Saviour of Society" (Methuen, 6s.), of a quality so much after the heart of the Pall Mall Gazette, that, for a wonder, it worked itself into quite a fervour of eulogy; and Mr. G. B. Burgin's "Tuxter's Little Maid" (Cassell, 6s.), a Dickensesque story of the London poor. And you must dip into Dean Farrar's "Gathering Clouds: a Tale of the Days of St. Chrysostom" (Longmans, 28s.), a successor and almost necessary complement to his "Darkness and Dawn." But one of the most interesting of the novels in your parcel is a new edition of Mr. George Gissing's "The Unclassed" (Lawrence, 6s.), the first book he ever wrote. It dealt in part with a side of life thatcaused it on its first appearance (in 1884) to be looked on askance by a world of critics and readers who were less used than they are now to a frank, if somewhat romantic, treatment of characters and scenes then considered almost taboo.
