Admirers of Cromwell and the
Roundheads may enjoy Miss McChes-
ney's art, but they cannot be expected
to like her treatment of those WORTHLESS,
in whom she sees occasional whimper
ings and even rascality. viii Fortes-
cue, the hero, is a royalist, but his
heart is with Rupert, and he is drawn
into a plot for putting the prince on
the throne. The nature of this con-
spiracy is not very clear; no wonder
Rupert's enemies were puzzled since
even the reader, to whom it is all eX-
planned, is puzzled. The action is con-
fused and broken There are too many
words and sometimes the author drops
into bombast. But the story is invest
ed with romantic charm, and the char
acters are more than conventional
types. Will Fortescue is a figure finely
conceived and drawn; Rupert is pic
turesque and dashing; the old Bohe-
milan magician and his gypsy daughter
are theatrical but effective.

OUTLINES OF SOCIOLOGY.

lished some of his sociological inves-
legations, offering them diffidently as
the first lispings of a great science Of
the future, sociology" In the present
work he has striven to project com
iplete and unity a plan of the science,
to show the distinction between it and
other sciences, and to call attention to
the most important questions which
must hereafter be subjected to socio-
logical investigation. Differing from
other writer's, the author denies that
society is simply an organism analo-
gous to but as high above man as man
is above other organisms in nature. In
his conception, society is an organism
or organization entirely different from
any other. His system, therefore, be-
gins with %. social elements (swarms
hordes, groups, etc.), and logically pro-
ceeds to the consideration Of man, their
product both in mind and body; the So
cial process and its products; and fin,

Mr.. Garland has unconsciously written
a political tract, which ought to help
the present generation, and will un-
doubtedly help the future historian to
understand in part that uprising of the
farmers of the west, which in his intro
duction Mr.. Howels terms "the transla-
ton of the peasants war into modern
and republican terms"
The Marketplace. BY Harold Fred
erick. f. A. Stokes & Co.
To say that neither Gloria Mundi"
nor The Marketplace", is comparable
to Mr.. Fredericks best work "The
Damnation of Theron Ware" is not to
IMPLY that 1t is not successful novel
That it will live long appears doubtful,
but that it makes very agreeable writ
ing and is extremely clever and fin
lshed in spots none viii deny Besides
being Mr.. Frederick's posthumous
novel, it should be regarded as an an
tithesis, or complement, rather, to
Gloria Mundi," the authors first Sc
rious attempt to depict aristocratic and
social England. Appearing as it did
shortly after the Hooley smash, the
book has been construed into a com
ment upon that episode, and Thorpe
the rubber king, has been mistaken for
a portrait of Hooley himself. but in
fact the novel was projected from Mr..
Frederiek's brain months before Mr.
Hooley became a byword and a jest
and was not completed until months
afterward.
Thorpe is a masterpiece His colos-
sal rascality, his brutality, his super
stitions, his childishness are splendidly
hmned, and he remains to the end
likeable. AS usual in Mr.. Frederick s
stories, the women are secondary and
somewhat dim, but it is a pleasure to
find Miss Celia Madden, the orange
haired Irish beauty of "The Damna-
ton of Theron Ware" turning again,
this time in Europe. OF course the
heroine, whom it is one of the rubber
kings triumphs to marry, is a beauty,
too, in fact, the most beautiful woman
In England she is reputed to be- 1t is
she who, after Thorpe has retired from
business and grown uninteresting,
points him back to his old paths of sue
cess and activity. The ending is weak
and tame, but it leaves Thorpe gath
ering his forces for another plunge into
finance, like a tiger preparing for a
second spring upon his defenseless VIC
tim.

Boys Adventures in the Rockies. BY
George Bird Grinnell. Frederick A.
Stokes Co.
Here are over 800 pages the liveliest
adventure, in which cow-punchers, cay
otes, Indians, golden eagles, roundups,
hunting. rusting bronchos, antelope and
elk play prominent part. Jack is a
New York lad of Is years, who is so
fortunate as to have an uncle who owns
a ranch out west. All the delightful
things in the book follow The author
says of them that the adventures of
Jack are actual "reminiscences in the
life of a young relative of his, who in
1879 visited the farther west, and surely
this adds to the interest of the pages.
There are a number of good pictures
and the cover Is fascinating, with its
reindeer and broncho.
