Niemann, August. [The conquest of England]; tr. by J. H. Freese. $1.50. Putnam.

A translation of “Der weltkrieg-deutsch traume,” which is graphically based upon the supposition of war between Germany and England. “For the dreams of the German, in the view of this author, are of overthrowing the English power, and of an imperial army taking triumphant possession of London.... The story, considered as a historical romance, is of a type familiar enough.... Throughout it is taken for granted that England is the arch-enemy of civilization, that its foreign policy is a complex network of rapacity and hypocrisy, and that it is deaf to the voice of the higher idealism.” (Dial). “Is related in a workmanlike manner. It is a fairly good story, and is curiously interesting from the way in which it represents, upon every possible occasion, the point of view of the German anglophobe.” W. M. Payne.

Nitobe, Inazo. [Bushido: the soul of Japan.] [*]$1.25. Putnam.

Nine editions of this book have appeared in Japan. Bushido is the Japanese feudal equivalent for chivalry, and signifies “the code of moral principles which the knights were required or instructed to observe.” “It embodies the maxims of educational training brought to bear on the Samurai, or warrior class of Japan, the class that throughout the feudal age, which ended only fifty years ago, set the standard to the whole people in manners, ideals of character, and mental and moral codes of obligation.”

“Is a misleading piece of special pleading. He makes out his case by partial statement and wholesale suppression.”

“Professor Nitobe’s work is not exhaustive. It is the only work, however, on the subject given in a language of the West.” Adachi Kinnosuke.
