ADDITIONS—OCTOBER 1913 421
McCormick, Frederick. 951 M14
The flowery republic [China]. 1913. Appleton.
"Diary of the revolutionary rebellion," p.431-447.
"Mr. McCormick's work on the revolution in China, its causes, its leaders, its
failures and its successes, is a valuable contribution to the literature of the subject.
He deals with the rebellion from its inception and in a spirit of sympathy with the inarticulate
masses of the people, whose woes are the justification of the rising. The
descriptions of the leaders of the revolutions, their motives and methods, are most useful,
and there can be little doubt that this is the most thorough account of the 'politics'
of new China that has yet been given to the world." Outlook (London), 1913.
Wellcome, Henry S. 970.3 W48
The story of Metlakahtla. 1887. Saxon.
Account of an old and successful mission settlement among the Tsimshian Indians
of British Columbia. It was founded in 1857 by William Duncan, who developed a
model community from a tribe of the lowest cannibals. This book was written at the
time of the threatened dissolution of the settlement and is in part a plea for protection
by the United States.
