Collier, Price—continued. 9*4-3 C69
comments on party government and the ever-present hand of the police and the bureaucracy...
A jaunty cocksureness in many of the author's assertions, while not without a
certain piquancy, detracts seriously from the value of the work as a whole." Nation,
Eyre, Alan Montgomery. 914.21 E99

sketches.—In the Crimea.—Postscript: The Balkan war.
"We know of no other writer on Russia who can give us such intimate glimpses
of the life of the people as those revealed in Mr. Graham's pages. For in his search
after elemental truth the author has undergone experiences which few men would care
to face...As a result of all that he saw and heard on his long tramps in Russia the
author formed some positive opinions as to the condition of modern Russia, and these
he sets forth at length and with considerable vigour." Academy, 1913.
Higinbotham, John U. 9*4*4 H53

The French and the English. 1913. Chapman.
Contents: The English.—The French.—London.—Paris.—Politics.—Politicians.—
Press.—Averages.—Cranks.-—Poets.—Poetry.—Prose.—Children.—"Men."
"In a series of brilliant essays Mr. Jerrold has analyzed with much acuteness the
prevailing characters of the French and English people, with results that will prove
surprising to those who have hitherto accepted without criticism the baseless generalisations
which have passed into circulation as self-evident truths. The view that Frenchmen
are feather-brained and fantastic and that Englishmen are remarkable for their
logic and common-sense is demonstrated. . .to be not only false but an actual inversion
of the facts, the English being the romantics, the French the realists of the modern
world." Outlook (London), 1913.

Rappoport, Angelo S. 914-7 R21
Home life in Russia. [1913-] Methuen.
"To say that it reconstructs for us life as lived in Russia would be to overpraise it;
it gives us however a mass of facts which enable us to understand something of the
problems which the would-be regenerators of the country will have to solve." Outlook
(London), 1913.
