"AnarchEm''

BY DR.. PanI Eltzbacher. Translated By Ste
ven T. Byineton- Published by Benjamin
don.
With the premise that anarchism is
misunderstood by scholars and states
men as well as the masses DR. Paul
Eltzbacher has written an exhaustive
treatise on the subject and Steven T.
Byington has translated il for the
English reading public. The volume
has already been done into French.
Spanish and Russian The English trans
iator contends that II would not be
possible to get more just analysis Of
the subject, because the writer sets
aside his bias. giving only a hint of It
In the concluding paragraphs
In an introduction, DR.. E1tzbachsr
sets forth all the current conventions
OF the meaning OF anarchism and adds
that two demands must be made Of
everybody who undertakes to produce
q scientific work on anarchism. First
he must be familiar with the most i'm
portant anarchistic writings and, Sec
ond, he must be equally at home In
Jurisprudence, in economics and In
philosophy. To that end the work
is largely made up of excerpts, care
fully taken from the writings OF ia
nous anarchists and then analysed.
William Goodwin, the English anarch-
the supreme law, which he held to be
general welfare. In turn the author
takes up Pierre-Joseph Proudhon. who
said that the supreme law was Justice:
Stirner. who differed in that he claimed
that the supreme law for each one of
US was his own welfare. Bakunin. who
said I'm word we reject all legisla-
ton, all authority. all privileges. char
tered Official and legal infiuence-even
II 1t were created for universal suf-
frage;" and so on through a long list
of mon whose writings are serious
enough for consideration. A long
chapter on Tolstoi Is exceptionally in
terestfng. Following there is classi-
ncation OF the work OF these men with
relation to each other and finally the
personal word at the conclusion
The book has interesting pictures of
the scientific anarchists" and on the
whole is valuable contribution to

ferently by women that these two
critics deserve especial notice.
Among the books reviewed by Miss
Hawthorne are Professor Donaldson's
book on Woman in All Ages; Sex
and Society" by Professor William /.
Thomas of Chicago. a book which
created endless discussion; THE Letters
of Lady Mary Wortley Montagu"
England and the English" by Ford
Maddox Hueffer; Mother" by Maxim
Gorky; Ancestors" by Gertrude Ather-
ton; The Fruit of the Tree" by Edith
Wharton; Mrs. Burnett's "The Shuttle -
and several others. Those last four
are most interestingly grouped in one
essay called The Burning Bush" In
this Miss Hawthorne pits these three
women writers against each other, and
with an unerring pen points out the
faults of each. She is no niggard If
praise is deserved, as is proved by the
glowing words she gives to Gorky and
his great work. Gorky's book Is no
longer new and most people have read
it so that a bit from Miss Hawthorne's s
criticism of his work will be read with
interest:
1T is the story of a peasant woman,
handful OF rough Russian working
men. the dreary background of fac
tory town. the hopeless struggle of q
little band of seeming visionaries
against overpowering odds. Yet by
cf, oexto
this simple story the soul of humanity
with all its elements Of beauty and
ugliness, and the ugliness is so IL
lumined by the immense comprehension
Of genius that before even the most
brutal acts we are filled with q terrible
pity. new understanding of the
secrets OF life. In the acts
and words of these few poor persons
we realize the tragedy and triumph Of
man. And though the story is one of
suffering. of pitiful outrages and death,
yet somewhow and despite the cry for
help that rings in the heart it Is a joy
full. glorious story"
In speaking of Arthur c. Benson she
says:
His books do not impress one with
any dominant beauty or soul piercing
passion, but they get themselves loved.
You read them with an ever-increasing
admiration. They do not, it may be, tell
you anything you do not already know,
but they remind you of many things
which you are glad of knowing and
which you need to remember"
Miss Hawthornes grasp of Benson is
a real insight. / cannot remember
having read any other analysis that so
exactly pictures him as do those few
short sentences. Among the essays
that dwell particularly on women is one
about Nine. ALA Nazimova. >the famous
Russian artist who has done such won
ders interpreting Ibsen. It is q critical
study of the woman and most sane and
interesting.
That there is no affectation about Miss
Hawthorne's attitude toward women is
evidenced in the following quotation
from an essay entitled THE Arrival OF
Woman:
One Of womans drst discoveries On
The San Francisco call., 1908-03-29

her own hook was that she was
human being: neither fiend nor angel.
chattel nor toy, but a human being.
This discovery was so simple and SO
true that 1t is even now very largely
doubted. We can, many OF us, put up
with good deal. but to ask us to be-
lieve that woman has about the Same
struggle with the world, with her pas
sions and ideals as man IL too muoh.s
The straightforward American way Of
putting her facts has charm all its
own In Miss Hawthorne's essays. It is
difficult to know where to stop in quot
ing odd sentences from the 23 little es-
says in this volume. All are so inter
esting one can scarcely lay aside tho
book after beginning it. But a few
lines from The Sense of Duty" and we
will close the book:
This sense of duty Is not without
value. 1t Is a negative. resisting force
really fine. But we must keep it in
its place. It now moves, sick with
pride, among the loveliest attributes we
possess. certain that of them all it is
the most to be desired and the finest
to attain. 1t Is 9 and the beds are not
made, it observes sternly. Terrible

Schopenhauer. Swift, Poe. De Quincey.
Coleridge. Newton. Watt. Cromwell.
Goethe. Frederick II. Schiller. Byron.
Swedenborg, Darwin. Schumann, Chop
in. Wagner. Mozart. Beethoven and Ros-

The author tells why he puts these
names on the list. but one must confess
the reasons in most eases seem made
ouate. They are in 3most every case
symptoms which we have called up to
now diosyncrasies-surely nothing so
extreme as semi-insanity.
The author says that: scientifically
only one thing Is demonstrated-that
is. the, frequent coexistence of intel
iectual superiority and a neurosis in
the same individual. When a man Is
both neurotic and superior he is neu-
rotic by virtue OF one zone of his nerv-
Gus system and superior because of an
other. The common trunk which unites
superiority and neurosis is a tempera-
ment, but is not disease. Genius is
not neurosis, but neurosis is more
often the penalty of genius
1t would seem that the professor must
mean from this that semi-insanity is a
state OF mind in which true insanity
crops out at times without permanently
or seriously disturbing the general bal
ance of the individual.
The author quotes other specialists
and alienists by the dozen; some he
agrees with and some he takes an op-
posite view from. but he is not quite
clear enough to make the book easy or
interesting reading. 1t is a serious work
and has been written and translated
with much care. but should be simpli-
fed and much condensed for the lay
reader. One lays the book aside with
the old Quaker saying in mind. Every
one is queer but thee and me, and even
thou TT little queer"

Many books on mental disturbances,
hypnotism and the allied sciences have
been written in the last decade, some
purely scientific and others interesting
to student and layman alike, but very
few can read this book, '-The Semi-In-
Sane and the Semi Responsible. and
not lay it aside wondering to which
class he or she belongs The book
Is crowded with medical facts and con-
tains besides most intricate and in
volved technical vocabulary, which is,
to say the least. difficult for the lay
reader.
DR.. Grasset in dividing humanity into
classes makes distinction which other
scientists have not as yet touched upon.
He introduces between the absolutely
sane and the absolutely insane third
class, which he calls the semi-insane
Now, as he himself admits. few people
really belong to either of the first two
classes. therefore the majority of human
beings belong to this new division-the
semi-insane. The author does not con-
denim all these people to treatment of
one kind or another. He says in one
place: The semi insane man is often
eminently useful. sometimes even a
'superman.' Many intellectually supe-
rtor people present psychic defects
which make them semi-insane."
