“Exceedingly bright and fascinating are these chapters out of the
life of a lovely woman who made the study of these people her
avocation, if not her actual vocation.” E. J. C.

In writing his story it was the hope of the author “that the telling of
it would serve a useful purpose, especially at this time, in helping to a
clearer understanding of the hopes and aspirations of my own people
and the difficulties which they have overcome in making the progress
of the last fifty years which has been so frequently described as ‘the
most remarkable of any race in so short a time.’” (Preface) Contents:
Out of Africa; On a Virginia plantation; Through reconstruction;
Doing and learning; A touch of real life; Ending student days; Black,
white, and red; With north and south; From Hampton to Tuskegee;
At Tuskegee; War activities; Forward movements in the south;
Index. The author succeeded Booker T. Washington as head of
Tuskegee institute.
“This autobiography not only impresses one with the worth and
dignity of its writer but charms and amuses the reader with the sense
of humor and the sweetness which the author has carried with him.”

“We wish that this volume might find its way into every public
library in the United States and into every school and church library
in the South.”
“His book deserves to be read on his own account, and also for the
side lights that it throws upon negro conditions and problems.”

“On the whole the book seems admirably adapted to the purpose
intended—to provide a text of the New Testament with explanations
adequate and truthful yet thoroughly adapted virginibus puerisque.”

“Mr Mowat has written a good book, which should be widely read.
He has very rightly relied in the main upon the chief French and
English chronicles and biographies, and has avoided the tendency,
rather too common just now, to pick out erudite and often irrelevant
detail from half-read sources.”

The volume is the fourth in the series of Free lance books, edited
with introductions by H. L. Mencken. It is a book of aphorisms after
the manner of Nietzsche and inspired by the philosophy of Nietzsche.
They are animadversions on life and all the modern aspects of life as
revealed in our art, literature, science, and religion; and are grouped
under the headings: The old age; Original sin; What is modern? Art
and literature; Creative love; The tragic view.
“He is, on the evidence of this little volume, a thinker not lightly to
be passed by.”

“Those who followed the fortunes of the four friends who traveled
‘The ivory trail’ will rejoice at the opportunity here afforded of
meeting them once again and sharing the thrilling adventures which
befell them because of ‘The eye of Zeitoon.’ This same ‘Eye of
Zeitoon’ was not a precious stone of any kind, but a man named
Kagig, an Armenian and a patriot, doing his best to save his
countrymen from the Turks. Two women play important parts in the
story—Gloria Vanderman, an American girl, resolute, strong-willed
and fearless, able to handle a pistol or even a rifle in a moment of
danger, and that effectively, and the mysterious Maga Jhaere, the
wild, pagan, primitive half-gypsy, a veritable fiend at times, yet
almost a child in her naïveté. She is interesting, but not so interesting
as Kagig himself.”—N Y Times
“‘The eye of Zeitoon’ has most of the Kipling tricks and some of the
Kipling virtues. As a yarn, it drags at times, its briskness of style
being in odd contrast with the sluggish action.” H. W. Boynton

MUNDY, TALBOT. Told in the East. *$2 Bobbs
20–21184
“Two of the three stories in Talbot Mundy’s ‘Told in the East’ are of
the proportions of novelets. They are based on dramatic incidents in
the Indian mutiny. The third has a humorous trend but is withal a
typical Mundy tale. The first of the trio, ‘Hookum, Hai’ has for its
central figure Bill Brown, a stoical British sergeant, who, while
assigned to an isolated outpost in command of a dozen men, is
caught in the maelstrom of the initial uprising. A typical Mundy
character—a loyal, aristocratic Rajput officer—is the hero of ‘For the
salt he had eaten,’ the second story. ‘Machassan Ah,’ the final tale,
relates the humorous experiences of two British bluejackets who go
ashore at an Arabian port in pursuit of a native who proclaims
himself an Englishman.”—Springf’d Republican

“The book which comes from England with this title, ‘The child
under eight,’ is a discussion of the kindergarten after the fashion that
might have been found in an American book fifteen or twenty years
ago. The titles of the various chapters indicate the temper of the
writers. There are chapters entitled The world’s mine oyster, All the
world’s a stage, Joy in making, In grassy places, etc. The book is not
without some practical suggestions for work in the kindergarten, but
in the main it is a defense of the kindergarten with some reference to
modern movements in the treatment of little children.”—El School J

“John Murray III was the grandson of the John Murray (1745–93,
originally MacMurray!) who founded the famous publishing house in
November, 1768, and the son of John Murray, jr. (1778–1843), who
is perhaps best remembered now as friend and publisher of Byron
and as publisher of the Quarterly Review. Of John Murray III (1808–
92) there was no account adequate at all, except mere facts in the
Dictionary of national biography, until his son’s interesting article
appeared in the Quarterly Review for January, 1919. The present
little book consists of that article, revised and enlarged, followed by
the father’s paper on the ‘Origin and history of Murray’s handbooks
for travellers,’ and by some new letters to his family (1830–91),
mainly describing vividly various travels abroad and at home.”—N Y
Evening Post
“The letters are excellent reading, and we venture to ask for more,
if more are to be had.”
“The memoir has the unusual fault of being too brief, but it does
justice to its subject and adds a new and interesting chapter to the
history of English publishing.”
