it has been freely predicted that the . . tiling season in the publishing business would be the largest that has been known for years, but the advance announcements of the publishers do not bear out the prediction. Many new books era to be published, of course, but few of the first importance, and few by the most popular < f American writers. Never before have so many new editions of the standard novelists been on the market. New and handsome editions are announced of 1 dekens, Thackeray, Charles Keadc, Wilkie Collins, Duudet, Balzac, Scott, 1'umas, Meredith and others. The five beat selling books of the moment as reported by book sellers from various parts of the country are "The Virginian," "Hearts Courageous," "The Spenders," "Tho Mississippi Bubble" and "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall"; of this last named book, by Charles Major. It Is reported that over 12S.0U0 copies have been sold. A new publishing firm makes Its appearance this month. It Is Messrs. Snow A Fumhum, of Providence. R.

The Unspeakable Scot.

"The Unspeakable Scot" Is a halfhumorous. half-serious and wholly Ironical Indictment of the Scottish character and temperament, by T. W. H. Crosland. It Is a volume designed to prove that the vogue of the Scot In England and America Is the outcome of Saxon indifference, and not of Scottish capacity; that It Is on the wane, and that It was achieved by the practice of cheap virtues. It alms to prove that In politics, art, letters, Journalism and sundry other departments of activity, the Scot haa never accomplished anything that really matters. It deals very strictly with the Scottish powwow men. and tha whole of the literary and Journalistic "hoot-awa-mon” set, and the persons who boom them. At the ending of his book. Mr. Crosland says that he hopes his book will give the Scot a little much-needed help. To his "dear young Scottish friends, he writes: "If I have beaten you with clubs, be assured It Is

unjust.

The book Is amusing reading. Its generalities are too guttering, perhaps, its Indictment too broad. But It must not be forgotten that this Is the prosecuting attorney who Is speaking; the counsel tor the defense Is nowhere represented. (New

[Special Correspondence Indianapolis News.] AMKSBURY. Mass., September 4—One afternoon, Just a decade ago, exactly ten yeans next Sunday, there gathered about the death-bed of a dying man a few friends, sad, but resigned, weeping, but In a room hallowed with glory, for the life of a great poet was slowly and as certainly ebbing away. It was the end of a long summer that had made mighty drafts on thq already frail nature, and John Greenleaf Whittier knew as well ss the watchers there that the time of the passing wds at hand. Joseph and Gertrude Carlland were near, of course, for the three had been like one happy family every summer In the lake and mountain section of New Hampshire, or at the Cartland home tn Newburyport-by-

the-Sea.

I sat the other night while a sense of reverence stole over me. as Gertrude spoke of Greenleaf and of the beautiful life he had lived among the villages along the Merrlmac, his "river of song.” And to-day, as I gazed on Its sca-brlght surface, I seemed to hear him again apostrophize: "O child of that white-crested mountain whose

It was again across that river and over to Amesbury that the poet was borne to his last home to rest with the other members of the "Snow-bound family"—father, mother, sisters Elizabeth and Mary, brother Matthew Franklin, "Aunt Mercy" and “Uncle Moses"—.n Union cemetery. The funeral procedure was different from the usual kind only in He simplicity and lack of display. The friends came from far and near. K. C. Btcdman was out

Still a Rising Star.

Ten years are gone, and oblivion’s cruelest tests have been made, only to reveal Whittier's fame still a rising star.

The house of the poet's birth stands faring the southeast, on a slight eminence. but yet far adown from hills that frown from two sides along which wagon roads thread the way.

Here In a house that has weathered the nrrtheast gales for two hundred years, where not a single neighbor's roof wan in sight, here have the Whittier generations "wrought out their characters from granite and from pine In a self-appointed solitude' —until the songs of one of the sons gave to the world the music of these

Books Reviewed Briefly.

‘Monsieur Martin," by Wymond Carey, Is a romance of the great Swedish war. The scene of the story ts laid for tho most part In the city of Dresden, the hotbed of plot and counter-plot, whither a young English tutor. Monsieur Martin, had been sent on a perilous mission. The pages are filled with Intrigue, adventure, violence and ths love of woman. Certain historical personages figure In the book, the story presents a dramatic picture of the troublous reign of Charles XII of Sweden, “The Madman of the North." It Is evident that the author of this story Is not skilled In authorship. The tale la loosely constructed, faulty In style and suffers from too great a wealth of incident. (New

“Among the Waterfowl" by Herbert K. Job Is a book made up of observation, photography and adventure. Mr. Job has for years made a special study of the gulls and waterfowl whose life histories are the least known of our wild birds. His photographs (generally made with a string over a hundred yards long attached to the camera) are marvels of Intimate bird picturing. Many prominent members of the American Ornithological Union testify to Mr. Job's skill. At sea, In the far north and In the swamps of Dakota, where they breed, he has studied these gulls, ducks and geese to such good purpose that hts entertaining narrative contains much Information. The pictures In this volume ure particularly Interesting iNew York: Doubleday, Page & Co.) "Commercial Trusts” by John R. Dos Passos a member of the New York bar Is an argument on the subject of the

& "The Great White Way,” by Albert Mlgrlow Paine, Is a strange novel dealing with life in the antarctic sone. It is n fanciful anil improbable tale, by no means up to the mark of this author's previous novels. It deals with the fortunes of a strange genius who has a theory that at the south pole there will be found a warm land Inhabited by a strange race of people. He gets a millionaire Interested In hts theory and a trip Is made to the south pole. When the vessel can get no farther south because of the Ice. a flying machine la Invented, and then, so that communication with the ship may be kept up. a wireless telephoning Is evolved. The whole story Is so extravagant that It impresses one In the nature of a burlesque. (New York: J. F. Taylor & Co.) "Home Thoughts.” by Mrs. James Farley Cox. Is the second volume of a series of essays, the first volume of which was published last year. They are garnered from the columns of the New York Evening Post. They deal with the relations between parents and children, husbands and wives, nature and Its lessons, and so on. As the essays in the first volume dealt largely with childhood, those In the present book are concerned with bringing the heads of the house Into contact with the vital questions of the children's education and training. They discuss many of the difficult problems of thinking and living In a helpful way. (New York: A. S. Barnes & Co.)
