Wale Studies in English.
Under the title of Yale Studies in
English, and with Professor Albert S.
Cook as editor, Messrs. Lamson,
Wolffe & Co., of Boston and New
York, have begun the publication of a
series of monographs on various sub-
jects of English scholarship, consisting
largely of work done by instructors
and students in the English Depart-
ments of the University.
The first two issues in the series have
appeared during the past Summer, and
several more are announced. No. I
is Professor Charlton M. Lewis’ doc-
toral thesis on “The Foreign Sources
of Modern English Versification,” in
which he traces the development of the
two principal types of English verse
from Latin originals, modified by
French influence; the work is a distinct
contribution to English metrical science.
No. II, also a doctoral thesis, is Miss
Caroline Louisa White’s “AElfric, a
New Study of his Life and Writings.”
This work, based on Dietrich’s study
of forty years ago, is broadly conceived,
and carried out with great care and com-
pleteness and it has already taken its
place as authoritative in its field. The
future, numbers of the series will deal
with a wide variety of topics, and will,
it is believed, do much to strengthen
Yale’s position in the field of English
scholarship.
NEW BOOKS
he Battle of the Strong.
By GILBERT PARKER, author of
“ The Seats of the Mighty,” etc. 12mo, $1.50.
The Battle of the Strong opens on the Isle
of Jersey in 1781, crosses to France, follows
the march of soldiers and the course of true
love; echoes the cries of the French Revolu-
tion and gleams with the swords of La
Vendée. It is the most important novel yet
written by Mr. Parker, and one of the most
interesting of the current year.
risoners of Hope.
By MARY JOHNSTON. With a Fron-
tispiece Illustration. Crown 8vo, $1.50.
A capital story of Colonial Virginia in 1663,
when Berkeley was governor. The hero is
an innocent convict from England, who leads
the famous Oliverian conspiracy, and has
thrilling adventures by flood and field with
ruffians, gentlemen, and Indians who stole
the young woman whom he loved.
fete ‘Tides and Kindred
Phenomena in the So-
lar System.
By GEORGE HOWARD DARWIN, Plumian
Professor and Fellow, Trinity College, Uni-
versity of Cambridge. With TIlustrations.
and Diagrams. 12mo, $2.00.
This book embodies the results of many
years of observation and study, and is the
most authoritative volume yet written on the
causes, origin, movements, and diversity of
tides. Its interest is greatly increased by its
treatment of similar phenomena in the vast
system of which our earth is so smalla part.
he Black Curtain.
A Novel. By FLORA HAINES
LOUGHEAD, author of “The Man who was
Guilty,” and “The Abandoned Claim.”
12mo, $1.50. |
A thoroughly interesting story of Califor-
nia, which in plot and narrative skill well sus-
tains the high reputation Mrs. Loughead won
by her two previous stories.
World of Green Hills.
By BRADFORD TORREY, author of
“Birds in the Bush,” “ The Foot-path Way,”
etc. 16mo, gilt top, $1.25.
The “Green Hills’? are the mountain re-
gion of Virginia and North Carolina, where
Mr. Torrey finds many birds which are old
New England acquaintances. His genius for
observation and his art in description are as
fresh and delightful as ever.
“The Blindman’s World,
And Other Stories. By EDWARD
BELLAMY. With a Prefatory Chapter by
Mr. HOWELLS. 12mo, $1.50.
The fifteen stories in this book are thor-
oughly interesting, and have in large measure
the humane imagination and the eager pur-
pose of improving social conditions which
distinguish all of Mr. Bellamy’s writings. —
+ uman Immortality.
Two Supposed Objections to the
Doctrine. By WILLIAM JAMES, Professor of
io at Harvard University. 16mo,
00.
Dr. James considers two points supposed
by some persons to militate against the doc-
trine of human immortality,—physical death,
and the innumerable host of human beings.
His treatment of the subject is original and
of profound interest.
tories of the Cherokee Hills.
By MAURICE THOMPSON, author of “A
Tallahassee Girl,’’ etc. With eight full-page
illustrations by E. W. KEMBLE. 12mo, $1.50.
These stories belong to the same general
place and time with Mr. Joel Chandler Har-
ris’s “Home Tales.’ They are mostly sto-
ries of masters and slaves, whose relations
are uSually friendly, with some fantastic or
humorous element; and the stories, with
Mr. Kemble’s illustrations, make a very
attractive book.
"T be Bibliotaph and Other
People.

Thoughtfnl essays on an eccentric book-
collector, Thomas Hardy, The Letters of
Keats, An Elizabethan Novelist (John Lyly),

tions of a hundred epigrams, meditations.
and precepts, treating of love, worldly wis-
dom, and the Hindu religion and philosophy.
