 Few forthcoming books this year will equal in fine literary quality "The Whirlwind," published by Mcclure, Phillips & Co. The name of the author Eden Phillpotts, is sufficient guaran- tee of this, his reputation for success ful work being so well established. "The Whirlwind" is a romance of the Dartmoor country and in marking back to his native and favorite setting, MT Phillpotts reverts to the scene of his most successful novels.
 'The Whirlwind' is drama of the country people, brilliant picture of the elemental, foreeful and at times al- most grotesque characters that the mar row life in that rugged, bleak country
 
 that appeals because of it's simplicity and directness. The heroine, Sarah. a fair, sturdy Saxon daughter of the soil, wins the immediate sympathy of the reader.
 Of 1.-The Whirlwind" the New York Tribune says: "The heroine is another type of Dartmoor womanhood. It is true that she discloses, like some other heroines' in books by MT. Phillpotts, in tellectual qualities difficult to reconcile with her rusticity, and accordingly she threatens from time to time, to move a little out of the picture. Fortunately, her genuine traits bring her back again and again, so that in the long run she is sufficiently plausible. Especially natural does she seem in her relations to the three men whose hearts she en- gages. She is married to one of these lovers so early in the narrative that tragic developments are expected as a matter of course There would be little sense from the point of view of the story teller, in uniting Sara Jane Friend and Daniel Brendon so soon, if the two men who are left to look on at the swift continuation of her romance were not destined to hover around her and intrude upon her peace of mind.
 MT. Phillpotts carries his heroine to- ward the crisis at steady pace, and yet with something of the deliberation that is fitting to drama enacted so close to nature in one of the most pas toral parts of Englard. H. Is not the aA nYetr n move in their accustomed paths with excessive celerity. Life goes forward slowly even under the stress of enlo- tion and the minds of liien and Wom- en adapt themselves to changed condi- tions reluctantly and even painfully. Hence. the disturbance of Brendon's happiness is brought about by events having the gravest significance vet never developed into turbulence until the moment of catastrophe inexorably arrives Every step in the movement is natural and human. Mir Phillpotts has never written novel better In con- struction or more sincere, and, we may add, his principal personages have never been more interesting upon this occasion. The subsidiary figures, on the other hand, have less than their usual charm. His garrulous peasants, who have often been original and amusing, are now grown somewhat conventional, and their talk is pretty dull.

 q. Loves Dickinson's new book, which Mcclure, Phillips & Co. have just published with the title From King to King" tells the tragedy of the Puritan revolution in a series of dramatic sketches in prose and verse. It is the object of the author as set forth in the preface "to delineate viv- idly the characters of leading actors in the struggle, their ideals and the dis tfnction of these as reflected in the cur rent of events" The sequence of dialogue, essays and comments in which the action proceeds begins with Eliot and Hampden in the Tower, pre- sents Milton and his former tutor Young Laud, the King and Crom- well, and concludes with Vane on the scaffold and MT Pepys (from a bal cony) saying Lord, what a crowd! Come, dinner, dinner, dinner!
 Miss Ida M. Tarbelrs "Ie Knew Lincoln" which appeared in the Feb ruary number of "The American Mag azine," will be issued in book form shortly by Mcclure, Phillips x Co. It is practically composed in it's entirety of anecdotes bringing out personal traits of Lincoln These anecdotes are mt into the mouth of Billy Brown, who is supposed to have kept drug store in Springfield, H., and had daily dealings with Lincoln in the days when he was struggling lawyer there Miss Tarbell, who has been collecting these anecdotes for long time, decided that the presentation of them in short story form would be more effective than en- bodying them in an essay.
