“One can only wish that more of such volumes might be issued, for many of our American writers are at their best in the short story. The ‘O. Henry memorial award’ volume of 1919 is a book well worth reading.”

OAKESMITH, JOHN. Race and nationality; an inquiry into the origin and growth of patriotism. *$4 Stokes 320.1
19–16466
“As the result of an attempt to arrive at a lucid conception and precise definition of ‘a nationality,’ the author thinks that he has discovered the explanation of nationality ‘in what may be formally called the principle of “organic continuity of common interest”‘; and the constructive part of the book is devoted to the elucidation of this principle. The author considers that universal and lasting peace will be secured, not by ‘the sudden imposition of hastily manufactured machinery,’ but by the gradual extension of the above principle from national to international life.”—Ath
