Rose, Arthur Richard. Common sense hell. **$1. Dillingham.
Mr. Rose, a practical business man, proves that hell fire is an absolute absurdity, and then reveals the reasonable, logical, sane and adequate hell which awaits each person who dies in his sins.
Rose, John Holland. Development of the European nations, 1870–1900. 2v. ea. **$2.50. Putnam.
A two-volume work by the historian of the Napoleonic period. The author says: “After working at my subject for some time, I found it desirable to limit it to events which had a distinctly formative influence on the development of European states.” The two great impulses of the world—Democracy and Nationality as developed in the nations of Europe during the past four decades—are fully discussed and criticised from the vantage point of a twentieth century observer.

“Though Mr. Rose’s essays have considerable value, they are very far from justifying his title or constituting a history of the period.” Victor Coffin.

“Dr. Rose has a sound judgment and a clear lucid style. Our only doubt is whether in every case he can have obtained certain data on which to found his conclusions.”
