NEW BOOKS.

A Work On <he People of Israel. The second volume of James Frederick McCurdy’s "History, Prophecy and the Monuments; or Israel and the Nations,” has been Issued by the Macmillan Com pany (New York). We have heretofore described the first volume of this admirable work. The second is not less worthy of commendation, showing again the scholarthlp and the capacity for analysis and criticism so clearly indicated in the earlier volume. A great pleasure 1* In store for students of the Bible and of the literature pertaining to the sacred records who follow Professor McCurdy In his illuminative and instructive comments. The earlier volume described the history of Israel, from whatever sources derived, and the present volume traces the rise, direction and Issue of the hidden currents of the national life. It is the author's purpose to gain, by the aid of historical insight and perspective, a view of the career of the Hebrew people, based upon a living principle of growth and devel-

opment.

The following extract from the preface to the new volume Indicates the personal attitude of the writer and the purpose that

underlies his whole wofk:

It will be a blessed day for Biblical study when the way has been made clear for every inquirer to become a competent critic. Meanwhile, the average student is In need of practical direction. I venture to suggest that, first of all, hs gain clear conception of the several stages of

t-’na 1 a nH in

the

stages

the political and social, intellectual and

oughly .»•«»• ....... — ^ thought and expression, their conceptions of the world and human life, their views and estimates of national and individual history, and, above all, of moral and religious duty and obligation. Finally, let him, on the basis of his own Inquiries, take note how the various species and sections of the Hebrew literature fit into the external conditions, and illustrate the internal qualities and attributes, thus observed to be a characteristic of Israel as a race, a nation and a social organism. Professor McCurdy’s work Is the bapplest imaginable combination of narrative and exegesis. The weak points In the established narratives he strengthens and the misty places he make* clear. A chapter like the second In this volume, on •The Elements and Character of Hebrew Society," Is mot only Instructive but wholly entertaining. He traces here the earlier conditions of Hebrew society*; and fofllows the development of the race through the various periods of its greatest activity. The readiness and aptitude with which we appreciate the life and genius of any ancient community depend upon several oondtttkmB, not only in ourselves, but also in the people with which we may be dealing. There is, says Professor McCurdy, among all ancient literatures, none so human ard to universal as that if the ancient Hebrews, Including, of course, the New Testament aa well aa the Old. The experiences recorded In ft seem more like what la habitual or possible to ourselvee than those embodied In any other ancient record or memoir The ideas with which the literature of the Hebrews Is conversant are not foreign to those of modern life, nor are they so complex as those which are the product of other civtMxatloms. The Institutions, of a H sorts—domestic, civil and rellglous-ane simple to a degree quite unique. Otherwise, It Is plain to any one who considers the matter. It would never have been possible for the Bible to have bean so generally adopted by the modem world. The language of a people Is, naturally, the reflex of its religious, political, social and domestic life. The habitual mode of thinking and acting, peculiar to a people, is always reflected in its language. There are characteristic Bible terms, like covenant, sacrifice, sanctuary, taibamacle, prophet priest, father, mother and disciple, that suggest immediately the religious and social Ufa of Israel. Each of these terms, has a special history of its own* involved? In the larger history of Israel Itself. “Words are.” says Professor McCurdy, “a kind of spiritual photograph." And he continues, that while the Bible is the richest repository of moral and religious experience, the distinctive phrases which give color and character of Its diction were based upon the inner life of the people, and became even more imbued with its spirit acid flavor as the community changed and developed in its checkered history. “And," says the author, “It is the high function of linguistic and archaeological research, as It turns the sacred roll,,to make those long silent voices live again, to re-awaken and bring once more to human ears these shnubering ‘accents of the Holy Ghost.’ ” The history of the domestic and civil organisation among the Romans and Saxons is a subject of fascinating interest, but under the brightening touch of Prof, McCurdy the development of the Hebrews along the same lines becomes equally attractive. There is a surprising likeness throughout the world in the general features of tribal life, especially among nomadic peoples, and also among communities that are passing the earlier years of their fixed settlement In towns and villages. The differences shown by the Israelites are interestingly presented

In this wortc.

The military life of the Israelites affords a most interesting text to the commentator. In the tribal state of any people there Is little fixed property to defend, and there is. In consequence, no military profession. On occasion every man takes up arms, and becomes a warrior just as he has been a hunter or tentmaker. When an attack or repulse is undertaken, the whole of the fighting force is called out at once, the women and children and movable property being left In the rear or In a place of concealment, single decisive defeat may cause the laperslon of the tribe. The survival of Israel between Egypt and Canaan is a proof not simply of the Individual courage of the tribesmen, but It also marks its advance beyond rudimentary tribalism. When such a primitive people acquire or control land, the conditions change essentially. Whereas, in the desert every warrior was slinger, archer or spearman, as citizens of Canaan the several rales were separated In the interest of good service and effective fighting. Special schooling became necessary In the different arms of the service. Swords, that had not been generally used In the nomadic period, became a regular arm, and by a gradual process the full-armed warrior appeared at the head of his troop. The second period ot the military history of Israel began when at length Saul was made King over Israel. In Order to combat the Philistines he selected

though every man capable of bearing arms could be called On In times of peril. The third stage In this growth came when David chose for himseff a body guard of six hundred men. This body of household troops usually turned the scale thereafter in disputes about the royal succes-

slon.

The burden of maintaining an army was felt by Israel In th.s early period as keenly as it has been felt by many other peoples since. Horses and chariots, which were indispenaable In an Oriental army, were but meagerly represented in the

m army of Israel. Solomon was not a be-

liever in foreign wars, but he expected to assure the integrity of the kingdom of David by the establishment of a cavalry and chariot service. This, however, it was most difficult to do, and the loss of this part of his military establishment is thought to account for the loss of the dependent States. " The schism thus caused limited forever the military possibilities of either kingdom. From all testimony It Is clear that it was only In of greatest need that any consideraforca of cavalry could be put in the The system of regular commissariat fixed wages began with the royal guard.

it was likely to lead to insurrections. Furthermore, It depreciated the patriotic fcpirit of the people. In the heroic times every Israelite was a volunteer soldier, ready with spear and bow or any‘handy weapon for the defense of Jehova’s land; and prestige gained through the valor of hirelings was a cheapening of loyalty of the rankest kind and the beginning of national degradation. It Is a happy day for students of the Bible that brings to their aid a writer so enlightened and so well-poised as Professor McCurdy. We have endeavored to Indicate In the preceding paragraphs something of the spirit and the manner of his work. He takes up succeeding branches of his subject In the same fashion. Such a work can not fail to prove an incentive to something more than the superficial study of the Scriptures which Is common among those who do not go deeply into this, one of the most fascinating departments of knowledge. We are glad to know that Professor McCurdy has found it expedient to extend his work beyond the limitations originally aet, and that another volume Is forthcoming. If will be devoted to the development of the ancient Hebrew literature, and will, we are sure, be awaited with interest by all who have, in these earlier volumes, learned the quality of Professor McCurdy’s work. It Is a pleasure to hear that the first volume Is now in its third edition. (Indianapolis^ Bowen-Merrill Company.)

C^T^taln- 3 short

of the volumes in this aeries are made up of short stories. Most of the stories in the book under consideration are by Florence Hannlker—Indeed all of them are except the last. “The Specter of the Real,” which is by Mrs. Henniker in collaboration with Thomas Hardy. The stories In this volume are of remarkable power and vitality,

mental processes rather than startling incident or novel situations. Indeed, the main theme of each of these stories might seem hackneyed were it not for the originality and boldness with which they are treated. In all the reader is made to feel that Mrs. Henniker Is drawing a faithful character portrait, not superficially, but with a subtelty of analysis that makes her strokes wonderfully effective. The two first stories In the book, “Thia Heart of the Color-Sergeant,” and “Bad and Worthless,”/have the private soldier for their leading motive, but unlike most writers of soldier stories, Mrs. Henniker lifts Tommy Atkins out of his usual environment and contrasts him with society people. The results seems to be entirely successful. Tbe volume contains seven stories, all original, well-written and lnter«ting. “Day-Books,” by Mabel E. Wotton, is also a recent Issue in the Keystone series. It contains four short stories: “Morrison’s Heir," “An Acquaintance Renewed,” “The Hour of Her Life,” and “The Fifth ^Edltlon." Of these “Morrison’s Heir’’ is by far the most striking. It is a story of sex relations, sad, pathetic, pessimistic; and yet the atory is, in its way, a powerful sermon. A young girl married to a man whom she only half loves, finds that he has a wife already living. With her child she leaves him, but Instead of returning to her home she goes to the home of a former lover, whom she had rejected. When he learns what Is the nature of her trouble he marries her at onoe, acknowledging her child as his own. In spite of his love and unselfishness the new life is a constant bore to her, and when the first man comes to her and tells her that his wffe is dead, she casts the world behind her and leaves her child with her husband. The remaining stories in the hook are equally Interesting. The Keynote series Is artistically printed. Each volume has a title page, and cover design by Aubrey Beardsley. (London: John Lane.

striking story Is "A Firs: Fleet Famby Louts -Beeke and Walter Jeffery. (New York: The Macmillan Company.) While In the form of a novel, the book Is In reality a compilation of very Interesting fact from the historical records of New South Wales. The story is told by WdlMam Dew, cf Soloombe, Isle of Wight, to whom, being caught with a gang of smugglers, is given the choice of standing trial with them or enlisting in the regiment of marines which is to escort the first transport of convicts to Botany bay. The story tells graphically of the sufferings of the first white settlers In what is now Sydney, one of the wealthiest seaports In Australia. In describing the' fearful lack of adequate provisions and stores on the transport ships to Botany bay, the writer says: “At this time the trial of Lord George Gordon, the Impeachment of,Warren Hastings and other great state affairs so disturbed the government, etc.,’* showing to what an Interesting period of England’s history the narrative carries the reader. Incidentally the story touches on the famous mutiny of BUgh and his followers on the bounty, one of the most dramatic episodes in the tragic theater of the sea. The story of the Bryants and their escape from the penal settlement in New South Wales is a record of suffering scarcely surpassed by the horrors undergone by the crew of the Ill-fated Bounty. A charming love story that runs through the narrative lightens the tale and relieves the reader from the gloom inseparable from a record of the sufferings of convict setUers, struggling in an untried land. 'The story is far above the average of the modem novel. (Indianapolis: Bowen-Merrill Company.) A Book Oa the Money Question. We heartily commend a small book on “The Monetary and Banking Problem," by Logan G. McPherson. (New York: D. Appleton A Co.) It presents Jn compact form a statement of various phases of the financial question, which is Just now a burning issue in our politics. The summer’s agitation has demonstrated clearly the Importance of public education on financial questions. This simple, fair treatise Is admirably adapted to the needs of those who are/ only beginning to take an Interest in such matters. Ths historical portions of Mr. McPherson’s work are fair and trustworthy. On the problems presented to-day In American finance he is moderate and just In his statements. He begins with a chapter on “The Development of the Mone,tary System,” and his other chapters are headed: “The Monetary Problem,” “Concerning Bimetallism,” "On Our Banking System," and

least six centuries.” TO quote further: niaced It was long claimed, by radical advo- thence cates of silver, that if the mints were r — x

open to the unrestricted co.nage of that metal, as they are to the unrestricted coinage of gold, coins of the two metals would circulate together, and a double standard be thereby established. But it clear that the silver coins would in-

evitably be accepted at their bullion value only. The effort of the national administration to maintain a parity between the two metals which has been strained even under a considerably restricted use of s-1-ver, would be broken by the deluge that its unrestricted use would bring. The 412)4 grains of silver that were worth tl in gold a generation ago would be worth but 50 cents in gold to-day. If 412% grains of silver were still molded and stamped as one dollar, gold dollars would be worth twice as much as sllvir dollars; there would be two separate and distinct standards of value. If, notwithstanding this. It should be the edict of Congress that dollars of the two metals should circulate side by side, it is evident that gold dollars would

be hoarded, sent out of this country, or melted, for no one would pay a gold dollar for an article that could be purchased with a silver 4ollar worth but half as much. The currency of the country would

fall to tho silver basis.

Mr. McPherson believes, as does every other economist of any repute, that the free coinage of both silver and gold would send the country at once to a silver basis. Those who believe In the unlimited and unrestricted coinage of both metals are in reality silver monomatalllsts. (Indiana-

polis: Bowen-Merrill Company.) Tl»e Town and Country Library.

We have frequently commended the Town and Country Library of D. Appleton & Co. In this series of paper novels some of the best of contemporary fiction appears. The form Is compact and the type good. Among the. recent Issues have been novels by Mrs. Alexander, Justin McCarthy, L. Dougall. Christian Reid and W. E. Norris. One of the latest novels in the series Is “Denounced,” by J. Bloun-dell-Burton—a capital tale. Over 200 noves have been issued hi this library, and It commends Itself to novel readers for convenient form and the uniform excellence of the series. It is s^fe to carry one of these novels on a Journey, for we have yet to hear of a dull* story appearing In iLc familiar covers of this library. (Indi-

About Literary People. Recently a subscriber asked for an account of the life of Lafoodio Hearn, the writer on Japanese subjects. We answered the question briefly and without the Interesting detail that is supplied below by the kindness of Messrs. Houghton, Mifflin A Co., his publishers. Mr. Hearn waa bom In the Ionian islands. His mother was a Greek said his father an Irish officer in the English army. As a child he spoke only Greek and Italian; and after his adoption by a grand aunt, was brought up as a Roman Catholic. The name Lafoadio Is said to have come from the name of the town, Leucadia, where he was born. At the age of sixteen yeans he was sent to France to be educated. Left alone In the world by the death of his father and mother, at the age of nineteen years he came to this country, without means, to make his own way. Extremely ignorant of all practical matters, and greatly troubled by defective eye-sight, he drifted to Cincinnati, where he took up proofreading and editorial work on newspapers. Not long after this he went South, and there did editorial work for a number of years.' Leaving New Orleans In 1587, he went for rest and recuperation to the West Indira. The tropics and the old French colonial,, life proved Irresistible, and he remained there two years before returning to New York. He never abandoned the dream of going back to some part of the tropics again. A curious chance took him to Japan. There, after many wanderings, he seemed to And the country and life for which he was made, and he chose this country as his home, devoting his time to study and literary work. He accepted a professorship at the Imperial University, Toklo, became a Japanese citizen and married a Japanese wife. Thus by various chances the American citizen of Greek and Irish descent becomes Y. Koizumi, the Japanese. Since Ills residence in Japan Mr. Hearn has written extensively for the Atlantic Monthly, and has done more than any wr.ter of the day to familiarize the world with this marvelous people. Their art, literature and religioA are familiar subjects to Mr. Hearn, and be brings to the task of writing upon them the result of European training and education. His last published volume—“Kokoro, Studies of Japanese Life and Character”—ie said by competent critics to be the most remarkable interpretation of Japan ever given to the reading world. ^ His Is a mind in sympathy w.th Buddhist philosophy, and bis writings be tray'a rare Insight into Japanese life and thought. Practically, all his essays have appeared from time to t-me in the Atlantic Monthly. The November issue contains ‘Dust, a contribution from his pen, wmch is in some ways the most unusual magazine article of the year. Covering less than half a dozen pa£es, it explains the Eastern conception of death, in language at once so clear and beautiful that aside from Its philosophic qualities the article is of rare literary excellence. The unusual circumstances of a European matured and educated under Western conditions, transplanted to Japan, has made It possible for Western readers to understand the life and . philosophy of that country as never before: and Mr. Hearn is Interpreting it in a most delightful

fashion.

Charles Warren Stoddard, whose charming paper qT reminiscences of Bret Harte Is one of the features of the current Atlantic is‘professor of English literature at the Catholic University of America. Mr. Stoddard has visited many of the ourt-of-the-way places of the world, and recently his book, “South Sea Idylls,” after having been out of print for years, was republished, both In this country and in England. Mr. Stoddard has been actor and journalist, biit he wears the robes of his professorship with dignity, and is one of the ornaments of hA university. For several years Mr. Stoddard held a like Doaition at Notre Dame. Id his ea^y manhood Mr. Stoddard published e £ok of poems In San Francisco, where Bret Harte Mark Twain and he were the literary lights. The writer has a copy of this book* which has long been out of print and hard to get. Mr. Stoddard is also the author of a charming book about Egypt. His duties at the university limit the general literary work of Mr. Stoddard. He commands a prose style of un-

usual grace and beauty.

Mr. Du Maurier leaves a whole generation the poorer of a weekly enjoyment. The phenomenal success of his novel “Trilby” has always seemed to us more or less of a craze, but no better Illustrator of English society In Its ordinary mood has ever lived. He was not a caricaturist, bur a man who revealed to ourselves our sHghtly ridiculous side. He had satire in him, oorrected by a preference for sketching handsome men and pretty women, whom he observed with a keenness whlcn had in It something of the spirit of the naturalist. "The most marked change of my time.” he remarked one day to the present writer, “is the improvement In the general look of men. and more particularly of women.” “That Is quite true,” observed Mr. Oliver Wendell Holmes, who

have all fined down, while improving in health and bight.” Mr. Du Maurier wa« the very antithesis of Charles Keene. He could hardly draw an ugly man or woman, and even when trying to caricature, he often reflntd commonness away. The conductors of Punch are, we doubt not, doing their best, but they will hardly replace the old group, and have certainly not done It yet.—London Spectator. The London Spectator says of Sir George Tressady : "There are passages of very great power in this book, but on the whole it is less matured, less completely worked into an imaginative whole, and less fascinating than any of Mrs. Humphry Ward’s other books—'Bessie Costrell,’ that powerful little tragedy of village life, not excepted. There Is a portion of the book-dhe part which concerns Mrs. Allison and her clumsy, boorlaluhearted son Lord Ancoats—which reads like a foreign element In the story, Introduced almost for the sake of artificially prolonging It, without any substantial relevance to the rest of the book, a portion of It that is very inferior in worxmonship and, very much less interesting. And, again, in many parts the pol.tical discussions are so protraded and elaborate that we begin to think that these parts of the book were conceived as a new installment of Mrs. Mareet's dialogues on scientific subjects— the special science being social politics. But the greatest fault we have to find wlfh it Is that the new characters are far more attractive, while the old ones have not Improved, but on the contrary have deteriorated since they were formerly Introduced to us. Marcella herself is not nearly so fresh end natural as she was in the story which took Its name from her, and the reader tires of Mrs. Humphry Ward’s Incessant panegyrics on her beauty and sweetness, which amounts almost to a kind of idolatry. Even Betty Leven, who reappears in this tale, is somewq^t overdone, her liveliness bordering occasionally on deadly liveliness. The nio?* vigorous of the new sketches, that of s.r George Treasody’s bride. Is for the most part repulsive, though very powerfully drawn, and though after the better side of her nature begins to be drawn out, even if she does not make too rapid progress In her conversion to a higher range of motives, at least there is too much hurry in the delineation of the change to leave room for an adequate picture of the struggle between the old and the new Impulses. The main defect of the book is, however, that Marcella, whose figure is the pivot on which the whole interest turns, Is no longer alive. The freshness Is gone out of her, and the author has to make up by constant panegyric for the charm which, In the previous story, she exerted over the reader. She is represented as more full than ever of radiant life, but when She comes to speak and act she Is not what we are told that she is. Indeed, sometimes she is the Insipid sweet creature of a London drawing-room.

Magurlne Notes.

Other contributors to this Interesting number are LeRoy Armstrong and Charles G. D. Roo-

erts.

The Critic has from the beginning of Its history been a Uterary news Journal of interest and value. The object of Its criticism Is to tell the truth about new books. It is a safe guide for book buyers. The current Issue contains an interesting article on “Princeton Traditions and Tendencies.” Professor Taussig leads off in the latest Issue of the Quarterly Journal of Economics with a paper on “The International Silver Situation.” This Is one of the few periodicals In this country that are seriously addressed to the discussion of economic questions. It is published for Harvard University by George H. Ellis, 141 Franklin street, Boston. “Women Bachelors in New York” is the subject of a paper In the November Scribner's. It Is written by Miss Mary Gay Humphreys and is fully illustrated. Julian Ralph writes a paper about the aborigines called "My Indian Plunder.

in which bankers are Interested.” (78 Williams street. New York.) The latest number of Modern Art (the summer number dated July) contains a most Interesting account of the life and work of William Morris, who has died since the article was printed. It Is by W. Irving Way, of Chicago, and is a capital bit of work. Modern Art is steadily Improving. The qualities that first gave it prominence were admirable, and the magazine has deserved its success. Mr. Joseph M. Bowles, formerly of this city, continues at the head of the periodical, which Is now published by L. Prang A Co., Boston. Prof. J. Laurence Laughlln contributes to the November Atlantic a timely paper on "Causes of Agricultural Unrest.” Col. Higginson writes the first of a series of papers on “Cheerful Yesterdays." Colonel Higginson is one of the most distinguished literaiy men now living in this country. He has had a dong and Intimate acquaintance with many of the foremost

men of letters of his time, and in these papers he writes in his characteristically engaging manner of old friends, and of the formative period of hie life. A new novel by Charles Egbert Craddock Is begun.
