''Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley by Helen
| Moore, is a life of Mary Shelley written
critically and with special attention to her
influence upon the life and thoughts of her
husband, the poet. The intimate and gentle
blending of those influences which awakened
the mind and formed the character of Mrs
Shelley makes study of her life peculiarly
difficult. She owned and welded a far
greater influence over those about her and
gave to them richer promise and affection
than can be determined; yet that power
nent literary yield. 1t is in her private life
and its reflected lights that we find her quail
tiles of force and power. Thus the study of
her life brings us into intimacy with the
blest minds, like those of William Goodwin,
Mary Wollstonecraft aad Percy Bysshe Shell
ley. From these learn the influences
which shaped ard reappeared in the life of
Mrs. Shelley. We can learn only too little
of her life and it's source of power. The
book is grand one and is well worth more
than is asked for it. J. B. Lippincott & Co.,
