“Most distinct as an individual, Mr Arthur James Balfour belongs


to an easily recognisable type, represented both in England and
France by a number of statesmen who owe their fame less to any
specific performance than to the impression created by their
intellectual brilliance.... He has always been credited with an
indefinable superiority over his performances. They have been
notable; but it is vaguely felt that the man is more notable still; in the
midst of his greatest failures he was more interesting than other men
in their most triumphant success. With others the “might-have-been”
is a reproach: with men like Mr Balfour it is a tribute: they please in
disappointing.” (Chapter I) The book is indexed.

“Wit, irony, detachment—these a writer must have if he is to ‘do’

READE, WILLIAM HENRY VINCENT. Revolt


of labour against civilization. *$1 (*3s) Longmans 331

(Eng ed 20–9138)

“The author’s main thesis we shall best summarize in his own


words:—‘Progress in civilization does always and everywhere
manifest the working of a single and fundamental law—the greater
the necessity of things, the smaller their importance.’ To pass on to
the application of his thesis to the present situation, we find him in
whole-hearted opposition to the ideal, as he conceives it, of
Bolshevism, and the labour movement in general. In this he detects
the main and imminent danger to civilization. The conflict between
the Allies and the Germans was, he holds, of comparatively minor
importance, not because he defends or justifies our enemies, but
because he discovers no plain or clear-cut conflict of principle. The
real danger he descries in the attempt, on the part of the so-called
working-class, to evade or reverse his fundamental law of
civilization, to make the satisfaction of the most primitive needs the
only social activity of any value or deserving of any reward.”—The

READE, WINWOOD. Martyrdom of man; with


an introd. by F. Legge. *$2.50 Dutton 909

“This book was published in 1872. Its author’s first intention was
to write on the part which Africa had played in the world’s story. But
the conception grew under his hands until it became a full-fledged
philosophy of history. His guiding principle of explanation is given in
the last pages of the book. ‘I give to universal history a strange but
true title—“The martyrdom of man.” In each generation the human
race has been tortured that their children might profit by their woes.’
The successive stages in this painful upward struggle he designates
as war, religion, liberty, and intellect, and to each of them he devotes
a section of his book. But another stage is yet to be traversed: we
must in the interests of right thinking rid ourselves forever of
anthropomorphic religion. It was mainly owing to Reade’s attack on
Christianity that his book was passed over in disdainful silence by so
many. ‘The martyrdom of man’ has now reached its twenty-first
edition.”—Review

“Everything is made simple and clear with a few bold strokes, and
the multiplicity of the trees never obscures the woods. The lively style
is an added stimulus to the reader, for the author possessed an
undeniable talent for direct and forcible statement. When he
becomes enthusiastic in his narrative he can revivify the past as
tellingly as Macaulay, whom he resembles also in the crispness of his
sentences.” W. K. Stewart

RECOULY, RAYMOND. Foch: the winner of the


war. *$3 (4½c) Scribner

20–3252

This volume has been translated from the French by Mary


Cadwalader Jones. The author has been closely associated with
Marshal Foch as a brother-in-arms and in his estimation the co-
ordinated military talent in the Allied leaders found its highest
expression “in the keen intelligence and strategic genius of their
generalissimo—Foch.” The account of Foch’s career in the great war
is preceded by a short description of his family and earlier life.
Contents: Some glimpses of Foch; His family and his career; His
lectures at the Ecole de guerre; In command of the twentieth army
corps; At the head of the ninth army; The pursuit and the check; The
battle of Flanders; The French offensive of 1915; Verdun; The
Somme; A visit to Foch; The change of command; Foch,
generalissimo; The widening battle; Illustrations, maps, index.

“While Captain Recouly’s is not a very inspiring study of one of the


few men of undoubted military genius in the late war, it does help the
reader to some understanding of the man and to make clearer to him
the battles fought by Foch.”

REED, EARL H. Tales of a vanishing river. il
*$3 (5c) Lane

20–22228

The river was the Kankakee, near the southern end of Lake
Michigan, and once the main confluent of the Illinois. Once it lapped
its leisurely course with many ramifications through low marsh
lands, teeming with natural beauty and bird life, the home of the
Miami and Pottowattomie Indians. Now the Indians and the beauty
and the birds are gone and a mighty ditch of straight-channelled
course has drained away the marshes. The book is an attempt at the
interpretation of the life along the river that has vanished and is
illustrated with sketches by the author. The contents are: The
vanishing river; The silver arrow; The brass bound box; The “Wether
book” of Buck Granger’s grandfather; Tipton Posey’s store; Muskrat
Hyatt’s redemption; The turkey club; The predicaments of Colonel
Peets; His unlucky star.

20–13345

A house party at an English country home is going on. The guests


are at dinner when they are startled by a woman’s shriek of horror,
followed by the report of a pistol. They flock upstairs, to find Mrs
Heredith, a bride of three months, the victim of murder. The police
start investigations which result in the arrest of Hazel Rath, the
daughter of the housekeeper. Altho she pleads innocence there are
many suspicious things in her conduct which she refuses to explain.
Philip Heredith, husband of the murdered girl, does not believe her
guilty, and hires a private detective, who suspects Captain Nepcote, a
house guest at the time of the murder. Then, from an unexpected
quarter, comes a clue to the actual criminal, who had planned his
crime with such diabolical skill and cunning, aided by chance, that it
was only by as strange a chance that he was ever discovered.

The story is of a boy, Beach Traill, not clever at books, but of


unusual integrity of character, and of his friends. They are all at the
same school, three of them, and a fourth has recently been added as a
sort of disturbing element. This fourth is Evans, a handsome,
intellectual, timid lad, a bit off-caste socially, and somewhat lacking
in manly spirit and upstanding courage. Troubles come, partly
through bad influence, partly through irrepressible animal spirits,
but the boys’ uprightness finds a way out. Beach wins out with his
widowed mother and against a suitor of hers whom he detests. Beach
and Miles fight it out in fierce battle which rivets their friendship.
Palmer, the most clever, subtle and daring of the three, holds his own
through his strong sense of justice, and it is in him that Beach
eventually discovers, with an exuberant sense of happiness, his real
friend.

are a ‘contribution towards the elucidation of the truth so far as I was
