By far the most artistic OF the calendars
for the new year that come to us from
Dufield and Company is the Watts Calen-
dar,' seven very good Photographic re-
productions Of well known paintings by
George Frederick Watts, with admirable
decorative borders. Original and striking
are the seven colored pictures for the Jock
and Joan" calendar by Charl otte Harding
Brown. Echoes OF former years appear in
the pretty colored pictures OF the "Canter-
bury" calendar and the Babes in Toyland"
calendar, both in extremely good taste.
A dozen amusing colored pictures brighten
I'D the Happy Heart Family calendar.
"A Sailors Calendar designed by MarionC
Bridgman, depends on conventional ships
and borders in blue and gold for its attrac-
ton. The same designer repeats a "Wag-
ner" and a "St. Francis" calendar from
last year. Further repetitions depending
on typography and decorative borders are
the ~Omar Khayyam" and the Poets"
calendar. All these are issued by Dufield
and Company.

The need OF a new life of Hawthorne may
not seem as obvious to the public az 1t does
TO Mr.. Frank Preston Stearns, who writes
THE Life and Genius Of Nathaniel Haw-
thorne' u. b. Lippincott and Company.
The author feels that his appropriations
of H~awthorne's works we're lacking. He
has spent much time in Concord In pursuit
OF traces OF the great Concordians, and
writes with much familiarity about what
was likely TO be the las in H~awthorne's
early life. He is rather combative on later
matters. There is a good deal Of Mr..
Stearns, his personal views of life and his
opinions Of writers and men, but he has put
the story Of Hawthorne's life in readable
shape. The appendix containing the long
lists of authors whom Mr.. Stearns deems
superior and equal to Hawthorne il a liter
ary alteration that does injustice to Mr..
Stearns's real merits.
There may be nothing OF great impor-
lance in the "Recollections of a Lucknow
Veteran" by Major-Gen. J. Ruggles Long
mans, Green and Company, but the book
makes very pleasant reading. The author,
now nearly eighty years Of age, was a sub
altern at the time and writes from memory.
The things he recalls are pleasant and make
the reader like the narrator. When it comes
10 the mutiny and the siege he has many
exciting incidents to tell. and tails them with

We cannot see that Mr.. Allan Fea in Some

much to the information about these ladies
that a whole library Of volumes has supplied
in the last year or so, though it must be
admitted that his list Is longer than most.
His object seems TO be the correct identif-
cation of portraits. IL would be unfair to
form any opinion as to the beauty Of the
originals from the generally mediocre
reproductions in this volume, but it is hard
to understand how beauty OF face or form
could have had any part in the triumphs of
some OF these famous frail ones. Some Of
the faces are pretty though even according to
modern taste, and the photogravure Of
Sir Peter Lely's undressed Duchess OF

Legal.

In view Of the present public interest in
the question Professors Joseph Henry
Beale, Jr., and Bruce Wyman Of the Harvard
law school have hurried into print their
studies on the railroad question in The
Law Of Railroad Rate Regulation William
J. Nagel, Boston,. There is some danger
in historical introductions' that must
lead UP to modern conditions. but here the
introduction is short. In look I. the authors
give an excellent summary Of the law relat-
ing to common carriers. the proper intro
duction TO the whole subject; in Book ii.
they take up the more debatable topic OF
the regulation Of rates according TO common
law principles, and in Book III. they tackle
the burning question, the regulation OF
rates by legislation, winding up with the
act Of 1909. The rules of practice and pro-
cedure before the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the statutes OF the several
States on the subject are all given. The
book Will be found helpful In the present
chaotic state of affairs.

Covering tbs same period, but less
didactically and more specifically, is Mr.
Felix weingartner,s Symphony Writer'S

with the familiarity OF one accustomed

rrovel before his art. He emits many
independent judgments which have point
and intelligence, whether the reader agrees
With them or not. The chief fault of the
book, perhaps an inevitable one, is the
stress put on the newer German composers
and the comparative neglect OF the new
atars of other nations. But then Mr.. Vein
gartner does not profess to hold opinions
about music that he has not heard himself.
