Prof. William James's new book on
'Pragmatism; A New Name for Some Old
Ways OF Thinking, :" will be published this
week. Philosophic journals and students
Of philosophy are discussing Prof. James'e
theory the world over, "Pragmatism,"
according 10 the authorj "unstiffens our
opposition everywhere and should help rec
oncile thinkers" He shows how what we
call common sense may have resulted from a
series Of discoveries by prehistoric thinkers.
He follows this by an explanation OF what
men mean by truth and demonstrates that
all our truths contain human contributions,
which at this date It is impossible to dis
entangle from the pur ely objective ele-
nnents in them. He compares the pan
theistio with the theiatic type of religion
and concludes that the latter is more prae-
matistic. The book ia said to be free from
technical terms and expressions which
would make II incomprehensible 10 those
who have not made a study Of philosophy.
The fact that this year is the centenary
Of Garibaldi's birth lends interest to George
Macauley T~revelyan's "Garihaldi's Defence
Of the Roman Republic" The book Ia
based upon a study Of the manuscripts and
printed authorities made available by
Italian professors and librarians and upon
visits paid 10 the scenes Of the events de-
scribed. The poetical and romantic aspects
Of Garibaldi's life, the origin OF the red
shirt tradition, the death OF Garibaldi's wife,
the Amazon Anita, hunted with her husband
by the Austrians in the marshes near the
Ravenna pine forests, and the escape Of
the hero in disguise, are all narrated at
length in this history Of the political and
military events which caused the break
between the Papacy and the Italian king
