{ The Presumption of Sex, by oscar Fay
Adams cloth, PIP, ! -; Boston: bee Il
Shepard. Price SlV0.
No ESSAYS of recent date have attached
more general attention than those on The
Mannerless Sex" The Ruthless Sex" and
The Brutal sex contributed to the North
American Review by oscar Fay Adams. Mr..
ADAMS is the thorough master of a wonder
fully pure and crisp English style. and the
ESSAYS above mentioned displayed his easy di-
rcetness and fuency of Expression to conspc-
nous advantage. They were characterized
by utter frankuess. The shortcomings Of
both sexes as shown in our social life were
shown with fearless impartialty. The
first article of this series to make its
appearance was The Manneress Sex. =
which was at once the object of much dis
cussion anil criticism. Some of the more
broad-miudcd of the sex" acknowledged
that the criticisms were just, bat the major
ity of the critics busted themselves with the
personality of the author and the nature of
hi. motives in writing such caustic articles :;
but the truth of the articles could not he
denied. The second paper. called The
Ruthless Sex" called forth an euual amount
of comment. but the ,.ManncrlrSs Sex"
were. somewhat paeiti.l bv the structures of
the, author ON his own sex in the next nrti
rIr which h.. called .'rh, Brutal Soy 1
The series is continued bv the addition of
..Tbr Eul,rar Sex" and The prcsumption
of Sex. while the author rives his reasons
for writing the articles and answers some of
his critics in an intrpduction To the volume
We think that candid readers cannot fail
In admit thc force and truthfuIncss of these
,ssnvs. whirh in their prpsent charming
form will make a very worthy addition to
any library.
