“M. Hanotaux, shines more by his pen than by his philosophy. We do not feel that he has got to the bottom of the question he discusses. Nevertheless the book is most interesting—as interesting a piece of contemporary history as has appeared for many a year.”

“M. Hanotaux shows here to more advantage than in his first volume. On the whole the translation is satisfactory. M. Hanotaux must study compression.”

Harben, William Nathaniel (Will N., pseud.). [Ann Boyd.] $1.50. Harper.
Ann Boyd had been unfairly dealt with by her fellow-villagers, her reputation sullied, her finer sensibilities crushed. Yet, single-handed she ran her farm, made money, invested it and became the envy of all her maligners. The two forces fighting for mastery in Ann are hatred born of resentment and the power of love which is awakened thru the one soul which she considers white—that of her protégé, Luke King. The love interest centers about Luke and the daughter of Ann’s bitter enemy. The tangle finally straightens and Ann forgives and is at peace with the world.
“In some portions of the book the writer has succeeded in imparting a suggestion of the rude pathos and unaffected sentiment that we associate with the peasant pictures of Millet.”
