Part 8

I have just finished reading THE LITTLE REVIEW from cover to cover, and much of it twice over.

Thank you for loving the things I love, and thank you for being young and not being afraid to be young! This is such a good day to be young in!

With all good wishes for the success of THE LITTLE REVIEW (though it needs no good wishes, for it cannot help succeeding).

P. H. W., Chicago:

The article on Mrs. Meynell in your April issue sounded a little curious in its surroundings, as it was a piece of pure criticism and THE LITTLE REVIEW is the official organ of exuberance. It is the only one, in fact, and it is a good thing to have such an organ.

My First Years as a Frenchwoman 1876-1879

BY MARY KING WADDINGTON, author of "Letters of a Diplomat's Wife," "Italian Letters of a Diplomat's Wife," etc.

$2.50 net; postage extra.

The years this volume embraces were three of the most critical in the life of the French Republic. Their principal events and conspicuous characters are vividly described by an expert writer who was within the inmost circles of society and diplomacy--she was the daughter of President King of Columbia, and had just married M. William Waddington, one of the leading French diplomats and statesmen of the time.

Notes of a Son and Brother

BY HENRY JAMES.

Illustrated. With drawings by WILLIAM JAMES.

$2.50 net; postage extra.

Harvard, as it was in the days when, first William, and then Henry, James were undergraduates, is pictured and commented upon by these two famous brothers--by William James through a series of letters written at the time. The book carries forward the early lives of William and Henry, which was begun in "A Small Boy and Others," published a year ago. Among the distinguished men pictured in its pages are John LaFarge, Hunt, Professor Norton, Professor Childs, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, who was a close friend of Henry James, Senior.

The American Japanese Problem

BY SIDNEY L. GULICK.

Illustrated. $1.75 net; postage extra.

The writer believes that "The Yellow Peril may be transformed into golden advantage for us, even as the White Peril in the Orient is bringing unexpected benefits to those lands." The statement of this idea forms a part of a comprehensive and authoritative discussion of the entire subject as set forth in the title. The author has had a lifetime of intimacy with both nations, and is trusted and consulted by the governments of each.

The Influence of the Bible upon Civilisation

BY ERNEST VON DOBSCHUTZ, Professor of the New Testament at the University of Halle-Wittenberg, and now lecturing at Harvard as exchange professor of the year

$1.25 net; postage extra.

This is an attempt to answer by the historical method the great question of the day: "How can Christianity and civilisation advance in harmony?" The writer simply follows the traces of the Bible through the different periods of Christian history--a task which, singularly enough, has hardly ever before even been attempted, and never before successfully or even thoroughly done.

Hebrew and Babylonian Traditions

BY MORRIS JASTROW, JR., PH.D. Professor of Semitic Languages in the University of Pennsylvania

8vo $2.50 net; postage extra.

An important and extraordinarily interesting study of the relationship between the Hebrews and the Babylonians, devoted primarily to pointing out the differences between Babylonian myths, beliefs, and practices, and the final form assumed by corresponding Hebrew traditions, despite the fact that both are to be traced back to the same source.

New Guides to Old Masters

BY JOHN C. VAN DYKE

Professor of the History of Art at Rutgers College and author of "The Meaning of Pictures," "What is Art?" etc.

12 Volumes Each with frontispiece

A series of art guides, whose little volumes, unique in conception and execution, should be as natural and essential a part of every man's traveling equipment as the Baedeker guide-books are now.

They are the only descriptive and critical art guides in existence. They are written by the high authority on art, who is probably better acquainted than any other writer living with the European galleries.

They are composed of clear, pointed critical notes upon individual pictures, written before those pictures by the author.

These notes deal comprehensively with practically all of the European galleries; and therefore discuss and explain practically all the important paintings that hang in those galleries.

The volumes are so manufactured as to be easily carried, and they combine perfectly the qualities of beauty and durability.
