| Songs from the Dramatists. Edited by Rob
ert Bell New York: Dodd, Mead & Co.;
| Portland: Loring, Short & Harmony In COM
| piling this work Mr.. Bell has shown renarka-
| BILE tact 1t is by no means formidable vol
ume, yet between its covers is contained very
good epitome of English drama from the time
of Nicholas Udall whose comedy, Ralph Rois-
ter Doister, was the first real play written in
England. The Oldest copy of it extant was
printed in 1866, but the date of its writing and
first performance are unknown. Among the
songs which Mr.. Bell selects as samples of
Udall's writing are a charming Work-girl's
Song, and 81 nun be married Sunday"
of which the refrain is SO gaily surg by Petru-
chic in The Tanning of the Shrew. Mr.. Bell
has shown an excellent instinct in choosing to
represent the old dramatists by the songs rath-
or than the speeches of their plays. The IL
,ades of early drama were, for the most, curl
ously compounded, sometimes rising to the
grace and dignity of Jonson, the appalling pas
sion of Webster or the harmonious phrases OF
Beaumont and Fletcher-no need to speak OF
Shakespeare-but usually containing vast
deal of dryness, here and there enlivened by
practical jests or murder, according as the play
were comic or tragic. But in many of their
songs which were usually written with very
intelligent reference to music, the early drama
lists distilled clear and liquid beauty. So that
to-day a collection of these songs is like chain
of amber beads. The range of authors consult
ed in the search for the songs is very great;
some of them, Mr.. Bell tells US, scarcely con-
tributing anything lyric in the course OF many
plays. while again an exquisite song would
shine out Of the dust of worthless and forgot
ten drama. To the student of music, these
songs will throw much light upon the CORE
spondenee of verse and counterpoint; and are
greatly to be commended as studies OF the
grace of accent and rhythm to the student OF
literature. In "foot'' or burden quoted from
a play by William Wager, who fourished IN
the early part of Elizabeth's reign, is found the
oldtime melody of which Mr.. Swinburne gives
an echo in Queen Mary's sigh for
"The gentle broom on HILL"
"Come over the broome, Besse, to nae, one of
the snatches of ballad which Edgar sings in
King Lear was from one of the ballads or dia-
logues between the Queen and England, in
which the latter invites "Besse" to the throne.
The richness Of this treasury of English song
is indescribable Widely differing in merit, in
refinement and beauty, there are very few
songs in Mr.. Bells collection that have not
some notable trait of harmony, power or char
acteristic humor to commend them. The vol
ume will be most acceptable holiday gift for
lovers of English letters and song.

DEVELOPMENT of English Literature and Lam
ruage. Bv Alfred FL. Welsh, A. NJ. Member
of Victoria Institute, The Philosophical Socie-
ty of Great Britain. (Chicago S. c. Griggs &
Co.. Portland Hoyt, Fogg & Donhaml
The industry of Mr.. Welsh, displayed in the
preparation Of these two volumes, merits praise.
He is possessed of great enthusiasm and energy
in following out his theories of the growth OF
English literature: and the table of authorities
consulted shows a wide and judicious range Of
preparatory reading. There is much that is
good in the work; and its faults are due some
times to one, again to the other, of two causes
the too great scope and somewhat indefinite di-
rection of the task which the author proposed
to himself; and the want of proportion and sim
plicity in his style. He dilates with unneces-
sary citations and with forid rhetoric over the
work Of one author; and to another, not less
important or representative, he gives a short
paragraph. William Morris, for instance, is
not mentioned at all; and Dante Rossetti and
Browning are classed together as founders Of
the New Romantic School. The impression
left by Mr.. Welsh's book is that he has taken
his ideas too much at second-hand-often re-
peating the very words of his authorities; that
his style is dense with superfuous ornament;
and that his preparation for his work has
been too sudden and superficial, a squirt of men-
tai effort rather than the wholesome gradual
growth Of knowledge.

Sketching in Water Colors BY Thomas
Hatton. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons;
Portland; Loring, Short & Harmony One of
the useful series OF Art Handbooks, edited by
Mrs. Susan N. Carter, principal of the Wo-
mems Art School at Cooper Union. 1t win be
found an invaluable aid to young artists who
desire 10 sketch from nature. Mr.. Hatton's
suggestions upon color are remarkably practi-
cal as well as subtle. His theories of light and
shade as affecting color are sound and interest
ing; and the general instruction upon sketch
Ing will be found of great benefit.

Severe Accident.

Saturday evening last, engine
No. 4, with one car attached, was
backing up to fix a culvert bet Nv cen
San Luis Rey and Ysadors, where
the telegraph line crosses the
wagon road, when the rails sud-
denly doubled up and the engine
and tender were brought into col
lision, severely crushing Mr.. Davis,
the conductor, late of the firm OF
Davis & Beach, OF this city. 1t
seems that the ties had been re-
moved for considerable distance
under the rails, thereby leaving
them without any support what
ever. Mr.. Davis was standing at
the brake Of the engine at the
time, and was caught between the
engine and tender and squeezed
until nearly dead, when he fell into
the culvert In an exhausted condi.
ton. He has been at u house in
the vicinity ever since and only
reached this city yesterday. Mr..
