A New Anthology.

Songs Of Nature" is the title given TO a
collection Of nature verse collected and
edited byJohn Burroughs. It is to be feared
that the collection VIII prove somewhat
disappointing to many readers. In the first
place. Mr.. Burroughs has ranged over the
whole field Of English and American
verse. instead OF confnlng himself as he
might very well have done, to the poets
OF America alone; and he has thus at
tempted a task too great for the amount
Of space at his disposal. II really seems
as if It would have been better to leave
out the English poets and put in more
Americans In the list Of Americans.
moreover, there are some omissions which
seem unaccountable. Nr Burroughs him
self has written some things which are
superior TO many which he has included
in his collection. One poet who is not
represented here at all is Mrs. Adeline
y. 7. Whitney, whose Bird Talk is one
OF the most exquisite bits Of mlmicry in
American verse. and real poetry at that.
Also. If the editor was going to take i'm
English poets. he might have included
Kipllng. whose song Buy My English
Posies' Is as dainty a piece Of nature
rhyming as could be wished On the
whole. this collection Is rather more re-
markable for what is not IN It than for
what is. (New York. Mcclure, Phlllips

Mr.. ". E. Henley has been making him
self conspicuous of late by the assertion
that he, and not Stevenson. wrote the
books on which the fame OF the latter
rests. If he intended this performance as
an advertisement for his new book OF
poems, Hawthorne and Lavender" 1t is
unlikely that II has done him any good
If he intended the poems as a proof of
his assertion, the proof is the wrong way
They are made up OF few phrases and
some pseudo ifess.
Mr.. Henley has written two or three
really fine lyrics, exquisite in form and
potent in thought, but that is not a sign
that he can do anything more. in this
book be certainly has not. One Of the
most coherent Of these poems is about a
bowl Of roses, and the last verse runs in
this way:
And the soul Of them rose like a pres
ence,
Into me crept and grew.
And filled me with something-someone-
o, was 1t you?"
II may be that this IS poetry, but II has
strong odor OF bathos about it, The
idea of a gentlemsn's being filled with
someone and not knowing exactly who 1t
is, is rather too esoterlc for the average
mind. (New York: Harper & Bros)

A Striking Book

The Real World" is a new novel by
Robert Hcrrick. whose romance entitled.
THE Web Of Life. made something OF an
impression on the reading world a year
or SO ago This book is in some ways
stronger one. and certainly less contra
dictory and more idoalistic. The hero
is a dreamer, boy TO whom the squalid,
everyday world OF his childhood seems
unreal and fantastic He is convinced that
somewhere there is a real world, where
people will act as do his ideals. and in
the course of his search for this the plot
Of the story is developed. The concep-
tion is thoughtful. the character drawing
mastery at times. and always intelligent
and careful. while toward the end the
emotional interest becomes absorbing.
The most striking tl.ing about Mr.. Her
rick is perhaps the absolute unconvcn-
tionality of his notions. His characters
are not types: they are people; and he
is not so much studying n problem as re-
cording facts. The consequence is that
the course of his stories is usually about
as original as real life. Another strong
characteristics Of his is a subtle, almost
feminine knowledge of character He
seems TO reach his conclusions by in
tuition rather than logic. and this. again.

in this book 1t is the case with which
the hero attains his material ends. AZ
