The human note in Jim Hands, the reality of its people and the universal appeal of its story were much commended by the critics upon the publication of that novel last year. These same characteristics distinguish the new book. Some of the incidents described are full of the well-turned humor for which Mr. Child is so well known; others where life is looked at seriously, are grave, but all are human to the core.

“Of all the masters of fiction, both in Russia and elsewhere, Dostoevski is the most truly spiritual,” William Lyon Phelps says in his recently published Essays on Russian Novelists. The publication of this new translation of Dostoevski’s five great works, introducing the author as it undoubtedly will to many American readers, is a notable event in the world of letters.
