GLORIA DEC.

An explanatory addition to the Latin
title of this book designates 1t as "a COL
lection of hymns and tunes for public wor-
ship in all departments of the church" 1t
is, in fact, a practical hymnal for all
church services and has the merit of being
convenient in form, nondenominational,
and containing the best hymns in use, with
tunes that are strong in melody and well
harmonized. The leading aim of the COM
pilation is to attain good congregational
singing, whether it be in the regular serv-
ice of the morning and evening, the prayer
meeting, the service of the young peoples
society or of the Sunday school. The ia
miliar tunes of the old masters are numer-
Gus, as well as those of modern hymn
writer's. both American and English, and
the tunes include both old and new ones
by the best composers. Gloria Deo' is
probably the most c~ompendious collection
Of sacred hymns and tunes ever made. 1t
contains 767 numbers, including chants. all
carefully and judiciously selected with
reference to merit. 1t also has a psalter of
sixty-nine pages, an index of subjects, an
index Of first lines, an index of tunes and
an index of anthems and chants. A feature
that will interest choirs is the unusual
number of metrical glorias, responses and
vesper hymns. The book seems to cover the
whole ground and meet every demand of a
hymnal for every kind of religious service
in all orthodox churches. New York: Funk

THE LAW OF NOVELISTS.
Some of Them Arc Wise Enough To
Seek Legal Guidance.

Albany Law Journal.
Just as in later times Robert Louis Stew
enson consulted Mr.. Graham Murray, the
present lord advocate of Scotland. with
reference TO legal matters touched upon In
his novels so George Eliot sought to avoid
mistakes of law i'm her writings by seek
ing the guidance of Lord Bowen. In addi-
ton to valuable ADVICE for the latter on a
legality arising in Daniel DerOda," she is
said to have been guided through the legal
labyrinth in Felix Holt" by the threads
supplied 10 her by the late Lord Herschell
and Mr.; Frederick Harrison himself. who
wrote the opinion of the attorney gen.
eral printed in italics in that work.
In the September Harper's Mr.. Harrison
says:
Il was at first inclined to think the case
to be impossible, as contrary to the then
existing statutes of limitations. But l
presently fell back on the rare. but not
impossible, case of the Base Fee, under

ment OF the Transome estates not only for
forty years, but for more than a century.
An attempt was made in a review to throw
doubt upon the correctness of the law on
which Felix Holt was based, but an emf
nent c~onveyancer of Lincoln's Inn disposed
of this criticism in a conclusive answer in
the press"
Mr.. Harrison told George Eliot that he
should always boast of having written one
sentence that was embodied in English lit
erature. An English contemporary naively
remarks that lit is not perhaps to be re-
GREETED that certain other novelists did
not avail themselves of the services of
their legal friends, for the correction of
their legal errors would have deprived
their legal readers of the only element of
humor to be found in them" 1t is recalled
that among the novelists of the last CEN
fury who were lawyers. were Sir Walter
Scott, Charles Reade, Wilkie Collins, X. l..
Stevenson and r. ID. Blackmore, and that
the leading writer's of fiction now living
who belong to the bar are Mr.. Rider Hag-
gard, Mr.. Anthony Hope, Mr.. w. +. Nor
ris, Mr.. Stanley Weyman and Mr.. Anstey.
What seems somewhat strange is the fact
which our London nameSake points out,
that the nOvelists who have received a
legal training are far less ready to intro
duce legal details into their stories than
are the writer's who prove their utter ig-
norance of the law.

dealt with. The conclusion reached by the
professional penologist Is that the STRAIT
egy Of social defense against crime is that
every developed case Of the disease OF
criiminality must be cured before society is
again exposed TO its attack" To deal with
the criminal from the standpoint of the
safety Of society. the element Of expiation
must be excluded from the punishment i'm
posed by human law. Therefore. the pun
ishment must be fitted 10 the criminal
rather than TO the crime. When scientific
penology shall be applied TO the manage
ment of criminals. crime will be treated as
a disease and will be determined by dag
nosis. and the remedy applied will be suited
TO the case.
One of the most interesting chapters in
the book Is that devoted TO the indetermi-
nate sentence. which is defined as "a SEN
tence which commits the convict TO con-
hnement in a scientific reformatory until
he is pronounced mt to be restored to social
freedom by a competent tribunal, with the
condition that when this tribunal shall pro-
nounce the convict incurable or incorrigible
he shall be transferred to a prison where
secure seclusion and the cheapest mainte-
nance are the chief objects. for continu-
Gus confinement. No matter how exemplary
the record of the convict in prison, If the
intelligent warden and tribunal discover in
dications that the disease of committing
crime is not eradicated. he must not be
liberated"
The Science of Penology" is a valuable
contribution to the information incident to
the development of one of the most i'm
p~ortant departments of sociology. AS 1t is
important that the subject should receive
wider attention than it has, Mr.. Boies's
book can be unhesitatingly commended to
those who desire the latest conclusions
upon the subject.

A DAY WIFE A TRAMP, AND OTHER
DAYS

Students Of sociology will find much of
interest in the writings of Walter a.
Wyckoff, one Of the professors of political
economy in Princeton University. His first
book. The Workers." attracted a great
deal of attention, especially in labor circles.
His second is not so pretentious as the first,
but it is just as entertaining. Professor
Wyckoff says his narratives are drawn
from notes taken from an expedition made
ten years ago. In the summer of 1891 he be-
gan an experiment of earning his living as
a day laborer and continued it until, in the
course of eighteen months, he had worked
his way from Connecticut to California.
I'm justice to the narratives" he says, 1T
should be explained that they are SUBJ
mitted simply for what they are-the casu-
al observations Of a student fresh from
college whose interest in life led him to
undertake a work for which he had no
scientific training" In his story, "a Day
with a Tramp Professor Wyckoff tells of
his walk with Farrell, a hobo who had
som redeeming features, and whose career
was temporarily changed when he fell in
love with a grocer's daughter. A vein of
pathos runs through the narrative. with

MUSIC AND ITS MASTERS.

The masters of music acknowledged by
o. b. Boise, the author of the above-named
book, are Wagner Palestrina, Bach.
Beethoven, Schubert and Schumann. Their
portraits appear as Illustrations. Accord
ing TO the author, music has significance
only when fraught with messages from the
composer to the nearer. The origin of
music is accounted for by the fact that in
tellect took in hand spontaneous, isolated
shouts, cries and means, and gradually
endowed them with continuity, rhythm and
form" The intellect has also made these
shouts, cries and means express sentiments
surcharged with emotion, creating a def
nitely Significant atmosphere" The prog
ress of music Is said not to AVE been uni
form, owing TO its sensitiveness to I'M
favorable conditions. The conditions ia
vorable to it's progress seem to have been
the movement of the masses towards re-
hnement and fine sensibility, or, as might
more plainly be interpreted, the continued
prosperity and greater leisure of the
masses. The authors idea is
different from that prevailing in many
places as TO the low estimation placed on
dance music. He writes; The world re-
quires that music shall suit its varying
moods. Some OF Johann strauss waltzes
are quite as genuine music as are
Beethoven's symphonies, and each, in its
way, contributes to the pleasure and benefit
of mankind. . The artists ideals
should embrace the whole gamut of human
feeling. and music that strikes our sensi-
bilities at any point I'm this line is genuine,
