Robert Herrick's New Novel

CLARK'S FIELD

"In this virile book, Mr. Herrick studies the part played by 'unearned increment' in the life of a girl. A notable contribution to American realistic fiction."

"Mr. Herrick's fiction is a force for the higher civilization which to be widely felt needs only to be widely known."--William Dean Howells.

"To define him is, in a way, to define the American people itself. For among writers of recent times, living or dead, there is hardly any one who, in my opinion, has come nearer deserving the epithet 'national.'"--Edwin Bjorkman.

THE ART OF SPIRITUAL HARMONY

By Wassili Kandinsky

Translated from the German, with an introduction by M. T. H. Sadler. Kandinsky gives a critical sketch of the growth of the abstract ideal in art, forecasts the future of the movement, and says in what way he considers Cubism to have failed in its object. The fairness and generosity of his argument, together with the interest of his own daring theories, will certainly attract the English as it has attracted the German public, who called for three editions of the book within a year of publication.
