“Further studies in the science of beauty, being supplemental to those set forth in ‘Nature’s harmonic unity.’” (Sub-title) “Nature’s harmonic unity,” published in 1912, was based on the thesis that in nature “a few fundamental and major rules work in concert for the government of the whole scheme,” and on the relation between this universal harmony and art. The present work represents a continuation of studies in the same field presented in a simpler form. Certain fundamental principles have been repeated in order to obviate constant reference to the first book. The volume has 156 drawings and designs and is indexed. A note on the title page states “The drawings and correlating descriptions are by Mr Colman. The text and mathematics are by Capt. Coan.”

COLUM, PADRAIC. Boy apprenticed to an enchanter. il *$2.50 (8½c) Macmillan
20–21991
Mr Colum has written a new fairy story for children, the story of Eean the fisherman’s son who was caught stealing the horses of King Manus. He was brought bound into the king’s hall doomed to die at sunrise. But first the king asked him to tell how it came about that he had risked his life in attempting so dangerous a thing. “And I declare,” said the king, “if he shows us that he was ever in greater danger than he is in this night I shall give him his life.” So Eean the fisherman’s son tells the story of his apprenticeship to Zabulun the enchanter.
“With the Celt’s instinct for magician’s tricks Colum has taken Greek, Egyptian, Biblical, and Arthurian tales, and made a simply-constructed patch-work of enchantment.”
