“A work that can be easily consulted for phrases and sentiments, as the quotations are arranged under subjects. A general index gives the usual reference for every important word in every quotation, making it available for fugitive line or passage. The author index, with its long list of mere page references to authors, is of little value. An effort has been made to include quotations by modern authors, Kipling, Hay, Roosevelt, Stedman, Henry Van Dyke, and others.”—A. L. A. Bkl.

7–21750.

“This volume has to do with Mazzini’s short-lived Roman republic in 1849.... The volume is divided into three parts, the first ... tells the story of Garibaldi’s childhood at Nice, of his adventurous life in South America, and his romantic marriage ... of the condition of the Roman states from 1815 to 1846, and of the reform movements and democratic protests. This prepares the way for part second, which describes the defense of Rome, and part third, which treats of Garibaldi’s retreat and escape.”—N. Y. Times.

The subjects are as follows: With the people: a revelation; The conditions that hold among us; As time deals with nations; As to government; A great people’s movement; Public utilities for the public good; Labor and its uniting power; Agencies whereby we shall secure the people’s greatest good; The great nation; and The life of the higher beauty and power.

Tucker, T. G. Life in ancient Athens: the social and public life of a classical Athenian from day to day. *$1.25. Macmillan.

7–4807.

Athens during the hey-day of its classical period is portrayed, the time when Athenian life stood for vigorous vitality and unblemished character. It is mainly of the things that have been too well preserved in antiquities for time to efface that Mr. Tucker writes; actual events, actual buildings; knowledge of manners, customs, ideals; of Attic virtues, vices, weaknesses, humors, drolleries; and knowledge of what law and society allowed.

“If we must criticise, we would cast a doubt upon the statement that the Athenians were a mixed race. We can find no evidence of an Achaean strain in their ancestry. Nor do we hold that the Greek tongue was a Homeric importation. And to speak of the Propylæa as a ‘triumphal arch’ is surely misleading to the novice in these matters. Apart from these points, our only quarrel with Professor Tucker is the complete absence of all references.”

+ + − Ind. 62: 1414. Je. 13, ’07. 480w.

“It is no easy matter with a book to make an ancient people live again. For either the writer’s learning clouds his sense of style to the dusty detriment of the reader’s interest, or love of style, dangerously liable to profit by lack of industry, is indulged in at the expense of solid learning.

Tuker, M. A. R. Cambridge; painted by William Matthison. *$6. Macmillan.

A “businesslike” volume which in addition to descriptive information which one desires is the “inspiration which we expect in one who writes about an ancient home of learning, haunted by the associations of great names.” (Spec.) “The origin and history of the schools of Cambridge, an account of their social and intellectual life, and of their distinguished graduates, together with seventy-seven full-page illustrations in color of the colleges and grounds, painted by William Matthison are the principal features of the work.” (N.

“Miss Tuker has put a quart of solid information into her pint pot, but her text is as a whole much above the standard hitherto reached in these ‘colour’ books.”

446Tunison, Joseph Salathiel. Dramatic traditions of the dark ages. *$1.25. Univ. of Chicago press.

7–18809.

Mr. Tunison’s aim is “to popularize the investigations of the learned, cumbrous, and eccentric Sathas, who sought to show that whatever dramatic tendencies appeared in western Europe during the middle ages were directly inspired by Byzantium.” (Nation.) “The book is a mine of interesting facts about social, religious, and literary life, as connected with or influencing the stage, during the centuries of the Christian era.” (N. Y. Times.)

“It is obvious, then, that Mr. Tunison’s evidence cannot always be accepted without examination. But the book is ... distinctly interesting and valuable. It is the work of a scholarly and independent mind; but unfortunately the lack of sound methods produces as strange results in literary history as it used to produce in etymology.” John Matthews Manly.

+ − Am. Hist. R. 13: 124. O. ’07. 1200w.

“The author commands plain facts enough to make up a useful popular history of dramatic tendencies in Byzantium and the Western empire, but owing to his vitiated method, he merely gives the impression of being widely misinformed.”
