[*] Mills, Weyman Jay. Caroline of Courtlandt street. [**]$2. Harper.
“A highly idealized story of New York life when the eighteenth century was young. Caroline of Courtlandt street, the daughter of an actress, yearns for her mother’s profession and by way of proving her right to enter it plays a pretty little comedy in which her father’s aristocratic and snobbish relatives take unconscious but highly important parts. The stage fails to gain her in the end, but in the meanwhile she has furnished us with a diverting little drama.”—Pub. Opin.
[*] “A slight but spirited novelette.”

Milyoukov, Paul. Russia and its crisis. [*]$3. Univ. of Chicago press.
In interpreting the Russian present by the Russian past, the author produces the results of long years of study. Professor Milyoukov is a representative of the branch of the liberal party known as the “Intellectuals,” and his work for freedom has already brought him calumny, imprisonment and exile. The aim of his discussion is to reveal the internal crisis in Russia as an outgrowth of the historical circumstances under which Russian civilization has developed. The author has explained the permanent and lasting elements in the political, social and religious life of a great world-power.
