“A treatise on the new American methods in psychology known as

behaviourism. The essential feature of this school is that it regards
man purely as a ‘reacting mass,’ and endeavours to determine his
reactions without importing into the observation preconceived ideas,
affecting interpretation. The present author, indeed, does not find it
necessary to use such terms as ‘sensation,’ ‘perception,’ ‘attention,’
‘will,’ ‘image,’ and the like. He states that he does not know what they

consistently.”—Ath

WATSON, ROBERT. Stronger than his sea.
*$1.90 (2c) Doran
20–18387

Much of the charm of the story lies in the quaint Scotch dialect of
its characters and much of Sandy Porter’s winsomeness in his Scotch
sturdiness. Five when his father died, he began to help his mother
support the family when he was six. He carried milk to the customers
of a dairy night and morning throughout his school years and still
found time for boyish mischief. How he led his schoolmates in a
strike against a superannuated tyrannical master, and other
escapades is amusingly told. In old Doctor Telford he had a wise
friend who kept an eye on him and made things possible without
making them too easy for him. So it was that the penniless boy
reached his goal and became a veterinary surgeon. He also won the
old doctor’s daughter, Doreen, altho there was a rival and Sandy
blundered in his impulsiveness. But his poetry helped.

WATTS, MRS MARY STANBERY. Noon

“It is emphatically an American story, full of the flavor of American

life—American life, that is to say, as it is lived in such a small middle-
western city as that one in which the scene of ‘The noon mark’ is laid.
As this story progresses, the dominant figure is discovered to be that
of Nettie Stieffel, whose father was in the accounting department of
the Travelers and Traders’ bank. Clean-minded and clean-hearted,
generous, brave, efficient, unimaginative and consequently a little
hard, without an ounce of romance in her composition, honest and
loyal to the core, and incidentally very good looking, she develops
into an easily recognized type of American business woman, capable,
hard-working, intelligent and dependable. When we leave her she is
a married woman who has, as she herself says, ‘everything anybody
could want,’ including a motor car—and happiness.”—N Y Times

“It is a story to be placed, by those who respond to this story-

‘The rise of Jennie Cushing,’—not a great novel but a real and solid
one.” H. W. Boynton

 WAUGH, ALEC. Loom of youth; with a preface
by Thomas Seccombe. *$1.90 (1½c) Doran
20–8276

This novel of English school life was written some three years ago
when the author was barely past seventeen. It is a boy’s criticism of
the English public school, its emphasis on sports at the expense of
scholarship, its lack of mental discipline, its low standard of morals,
and the dull formalism of its teaching, written while these matters
were fresh in mind. Midway in his school course Gordon Caruthers
accidentally discovers the delights of English poetry and Byron,
Swinburne and Rossetti influence his development. The story is
carried into the first years of the war and the author shows how
school life was affected by outward events. For one thing, the glamor
was stripped from athleticism and school sports.

“He has not ranted. He has not preached. But he has spoken the
truth as it appeared to him, swiftly, unalterably. It must remain, I
think, for a long time, as one of the few remarkable records of school
life which this generation or any generation has furnished.” D. L. M.

Shrewdness, courage, loyalty, honesty and resourcefulness are this

remarkable Chinese boy’s equipment. Of the poorest peasantry, he is
early an orphan, and in shifting for himself he comes to be a groom
in the household of one of the “foreign devils.” During the Boxer
rebellion he remains with his master, partly from ignorance of what
it is all about, partly from self-interest and an instinct of loyalty. He
is sent on a dangerous mission to the allied army, bearing the
message rolled up in his ear. Reaching the army after a perilous
journey he is given a return message. This is too bulky for his ear, so
in a moment of panic of discovery, he swallows it. Of this he calmly
informs his master, when at last, spent and exhausted, he returns to
him, adding, “and by your blessing I shall now die a natural death.”

“Mrs Bonham takes her engaged daughter for a trip on the

French maid to Professor Reisen, a famous clinician with whom Mrs
Bonham has become acquainted. Instead of taking the girl to the
doctor’s private office, the blundering maid takes her to a clinic

a suspicious sore appears on Dorrie’s arm, followed by a similar one
on her lip. Alarmed by the sores, Mrs Bonham takes her daughter to
a specialist in Paris, and is filled with horror when she learns the
name of the disease with which Dorrie was inoculated in Dr Reisen’s
clinic. Back in England Mrs Bonham tells Dorrie’s fiancé what has
happened. The young man promptly ends the engagement. Dorrie
does not learn of her lover’s defection and is kept ignorant of her

WEBB, CLEMENT CHARLES JULIAN.

Divine personality and human life. (Library of
philosophy) *$4 (*10s 6d) Macmillan 231
20–12837

“This volume contains the second part of the Gifford lectures,

delivered in the University of Aberdeen in 1918–1919.” (Nation) “In
the first series of these lectures, ‘God and personality,’ it was argued
that by a ‘personal God’ is meant a God with whom a personal
relationship is possible for his worshippers; that such a relationship
is associated with the higher forms of religious experience; that in
Christianity certain difficulties which attach to the conception of the
personality of God are avoided by the assertion that God is not a
single person; and it was claimed, not indeed that this position was
free from difficulties, but that it was attended by fewer and less
serious difficulties than its rivals. In the present course personality in
man is examined in the light of these conclusions; the various
activities in which this human personality expresses itself—
economic, scientific, aesthetic, moral, political, and religious—being
viewed in relation to the supreme spiritual reality revealed to us in
the experience given in religion. The three concluding lectures
consider the rank to be assigned in the kingdom of reality to the
finite individual person.” (Spec)

“A careful reader will very seldom even suspect him of confusion in

ideas; there is hardly a word and—once the sentences have been
construed—hardly an argument to baffle an intelligent schoolboy.
Yet, with all these pitfalls avoided, we are defrauded of a good
philosophical style, the worthy yet popular expression of a valuable
thought, by the elementary failure to construct an unambiguous and
balanced sentence.”

(Library of philosophy) *$3 Macmillan 231
19–14097

“All students of the philosophy of religion know that Mr C. C. J.

Webb, fellow of Magdalen college, Oxford, has, within the last few
years, won for himself a position in the front rank among
philosophical critics and defenders of religion. Mr Webb’s argument
[in this book] amounts to a philosophical defense of the Christian
conception of and belief in God. Mr Webb’s emphasis falls wholly on
the value of ‘religious experience’ as affording the profoundest clues
to the nature of the world we live in. He holds that religious
experience testifies to the reality of God and of the worshipper’s
personal intercourse with God. More than this, he holds that the
doctrine of the trinity, with its distinction of three persons within the
Godhead, renders in language admittedly metaphorical, a
differentiation within the all-enfolding divine life which is required
for an adequate interpretation of religious experience in its highest,
i.e., Christian form.”—New Repub

“The volume falls into three parts. The first is a survey of the
existing signs and agencies of collectivism: the democracies of
consumers (cooperative societies, friendly societies, municipalities,
and national services); the democracies of producers (trade unions,
copartnership concerns, and professional associations); and finally
the political democracy of king, lords, and commons. The second
part of the volume deals with the national structure that is to be set
up in the socialist commonwealth. The lords are to be swept away
and there are to be two parliaments—one political and the other

frankly, as an avowed political partisan, as a statesman of the Labor

political conditions in Great Britain is invaluable. It is not difficult,
after his bias is once known, to allow for his prejudices.” W: E.

WEBSTER, HENRY KITCHELL. Mary

Wollaston. *$2 (1½c) Bobbs
20–18250
 Two emotional situations complicate this novel. One is the
triangular relationship involving Mary, her father, and Paula, her
beautiful stepmother. The other grows out of the fact that Mary,
while engaged in war work in New York, has had a casual love affair
with a young soldier bound for overseas. Once she tries to tell her
brother, but he will not listen. Again she tries to tell her father, but
he refuses to believe, thinking that Mary in her innocence doesn’t
know what she is talking about. Finally she flings the truth in the face
of young Graham Stannard, who in asking her to marry him, persists
in treating her as a whited saint. The situation is saved by Anthony
March, who listens to Mary’s story, understands it and loves her
none the less for it. Anthony also resolves the difficulty in the other
situation. Anthony is a composer of genius and Paula is an opera
singer, and there is much musical talk in the story.

“This will be pronounced immoral by some readers. The analysis

of women’s thoughts and emotions is illuminating; a book that
women rather than men will read.”

“Mary Wollaston and her Anthony March have discovered that

‘sentimentality is the most cruel thing in the world’; but it would be
difficult to find another word for the atmosphere with which this
story invests its realism of fact. That is why I for one find little health

“This novel has both the faults and the merits of its subject-matter,
which is a representative cross-section of American metropolitan life
in the immediate wake of the great war. It has neither faults nor
merits of its own. To apply to it the canons of literary criticism would
be an empty futility, for it has nothing to do with literature. It is, in
three words, a competent realistic novel.” Wilson Follett

“The most interesting thing about ‘Mary Wollaston’ and the chief
reason for reading it is that it is so accurately contemporary. The

 WEBSTER, NESTA H. French revolution; a
study in democracy. *$8 Dutton 944.04

“‘The siege of the Bastille—the march on Versailles—the two

invasions of the Tuileries—the massacres of September—and finally
the reign of terror—these form the history of the French people
throughout the revolution. The object of this book is, therefore, to
relate as accurately as conflicting evidence permits, the true facts
about each great crisis, to explain the motives that inspired the
crowds, the means employed to rouse their passions; and thereby to
throw a truer light on the role of the people, and ultimately on the
revolution as the great experiment in democracy.’”—The Times

“The method of the book is as unscientific as the conception of the

problem. It was a pure waste of time to write such a book, and it is
unfortunate that it was ever published, for it is attractively written,
has all the earmarks of a scientific work, and may do much harm, if it
finds its way into public libraries and into the hands of readers
incapable of forming a correct estimate of its value.” F. M. Fling

“That there is a kernel of truth in each of these factors which

fomented trouble and disorder in France, as there is at the bottom of
every caricature, none will deny; but to magnify them a hundred-fold
as the great cause of the revolution is to caricature, not correct,
history. Mrs Webster’s volume is exceedingly interesting: it may lead
historians to pay more attention to these new factors which she
emphasizes.” S. B. Fay

“It overstates its case in an endeavor to emphasize the dangers and

the downright wickedness of revolutions and revolutionaries. It is,
perhaps, too long. Certainly it is prejudiced. But it is a good piece of
work, and good reading, for all that, and any account of the French
revolution must reckon with it and the material on which it is based.”

“The style is fascinating, the temper sincere, and the argument

(granting the hypotheses) convincing. But there are faults of method,
prejudices of standpoint, and manipulations of material, which make
the book not only a most biased interpretation of the French
revolution but one of the most mischievous and malicious attacks on
democracy that have come to our notice. The book is called ‘a study
in democracy’; it is a studied insult to democracy from cover to
cover.” D. S. Muzzey

“Allowing for Mrs Webster’s tenderness for that old régime, to

which in other respects she is only just, she deserves our devout

“Is there anything left to be said on the subject? Frankly, we

thought not, and the first glance at Mrs Webster’s book seemed to
confirm this opinion. Yet Mrs Webster makes good. The style of the
book has no particular individuality: it is plain, straightforward and
devoid of ornament. But the author is scrupulous in affording ample
data for every statement made.”

“Mrs Webster’s book is full of vivacious interest, and the lines of

her argument are followed through the mass of detail with an artistic
skill. Her ardour communicates to the reader a desire to get close to
facts. But the facts may not be the same as Mrs Webster’s, for though
she has read extensively and marshalled her authorities, her use, and
often her choice, of them shows how strongly she is bent on proving
a case. So she does not convince us that her book is the one true
history of the revolution.”

WEIGALL, ARTHUR EDWARD PEARSE

BROME. Madeline of the desert. *$2 (1½c) Dodd
20–20189

Madeline had been born beyond the pale of respectable society at

Port Said in Egypt; had grown up in ignorance of conventional
morality and lived in open defiance of it until she was twenty-three.
But there had been growing pains and a crisis came when she must
either die or be reborn. Father Gregory—retired from ecclesiastical
honors in England to a hermitage in the desert—and his nephew,
Robin Beechcroft, the young explorer, help her to a rebirth. The
former points her to her supreme need, Christ, the latter loves and
makes her his wife. The story traces Madeline’s unfoldment as a
woman, a thinker and a seer. She and Robin pass through trials, even
tragedies, but it is Madeline’s fineness and clear-sightedness that at
last saves the day for them both.

“Under its appearance of superficiality there is a quite unusual and

remarkable understanding of the character of Madeline.” K. M.

“Mr Weigall’s novel grows weaker with the turning of pages, and
there is no marvelous rising above climax after climax. Madeline,
vivid at first, becomes more and more pallid as the tale progresses.”

“It is impossible to withhold from Mr Weigall a tribute of

admiration for the amazing fluency and fertility of imagination which
enable him to make a long story out of very scant material. Whether
the story was worth making is another question.”

“The author’s vivid pictures of Egyptian life are explained by the

fact that he has lived in Egypt a great deal, and has the faculty of
presenting pleasingly and convincingly that which he sees. On the
whole, he has presented to the world a very readable, as well as
clever, book.”

“While much of the subject matter is in essence that contained in

‘The pupil and the teacher,’ it is given here in the form of delightful
chatty chapters, supplementing the previous work. The book brings
the same pleasure and information that often comes from the
question period following a lecture. The first chapters deal with the
pupil and seem to be repetition of much that has already appeared
for the use of the teacher of religious education, though special
mention should be made of chapter 12, ‘How religion grows.’ The last
chapters are most suggestive, especially ‘Learning by doing’ and the
‘Dramatic method of teaching.’”—Springf’d Republican
