Garcia Calderon, Francisco—continued. 980 G17
a comprehensive and carefully documented history of the evolution of Latin America
and a searching study of current problems. He is specially concerned with Latin-
American psychology in its broadest sense, including its literary as well as its political
expression, and deals at length with racial qualities. He is less convincing in his unrestrained
discussion of the peril of United States influence and the feeling of South
America on the subject, and in his chapters on the Japanese and German peril." A. L. A.

James, Henry, b. 1843. 92 J164J
A small boy and others. 1913. Scribner.
Starting avowedly with the purpose of placing together some particulars of the early
life of William James, the writer soon found his own boyish figure so unavoidably in
the foreground that he gave up the attempt to sketch his brother's life and confines
himself chiefly to the memories and impressions of his own boyhood viewed through an
intervening medium of 50 years and more. The most vital part of the world he reconstructs
is a New York now vanished, a place of wonderful shops and schools and
museums and still more wonderful theatres. Later the background is changed to London
and then to France, which he sees with the glamor of childhood. The book is
written in his best and most characteristic manner.
