A Memorx of Edwin Booth.

My season with Edwin Booth was
delightful. found him one OF the
kindest and pleasantest men OF the
profession. He also possessed what !
consider great quality-simplicity OF
manner. Some stars have the idea
that it is necessary to be naughty and
inaccessible with the members Of their
companies. They put on airs. They
like to crush their fellow actors and
pose as kind of divinity before them.

"From Irish Castle to
French Chateaux"

By Norma Bright Carson. Published by Small
Maynard & Co., Boston.
Norma Bright Carson, the editor of
the Book News Monthly OF Philadel-
pilia, has gathered a number of her arr
ticles which first appeared in that
paper and made them into a book,
From Irish Castle to French Cha
teaux." The book is not a gu!debook
in any sense of the word. We simply
travel with Mrs. Carson to the homes
and haunts of great writers and see
things with her clever literary and ap-
preciative eye. Each to his taste, of
course, but London, a Historic and Lit
erary Ghostland," was a particularly
delightful chapter to the reviewer, and
the chapter devoted to Milton was a
surprise and a delight. new and
very human aspect of this strange and
shy poet is exhibited to us.
The chapter on Stratford- on Avon Is
the finest from a literary point of view
and is really more Sof an appreciation
of the great master and study OF his
environment than a personally con-
Quoted visit to his abiding place
The book makes popular appeal and
will please readers who are interested
in the homes of their favorite authors
The illustrations are done from photo
graphs by Mrs. Carson's husband, N. B.
Carson, and w. j. Roberts, and are par
ticularly well done.

q. The greatest book from the pen OF
the. brilliant Arnold Bennett has just
reached its American readers. It is en-
titIed Buried Alive" and is a part Of
the life story Of one Priam Farll, a
great English painter. The story is
at one and the some time a picture OF
English life and satire upon it. The
bpok Is filled with a quaint humor
.which makes its reading JOY and will
convince Mr.. Benefits audience. If

= Prism Farll Is given no time TO decide
the great question when 1t comes TO
him. His valet. Henry Leek, suddenly
dies, and Fsrll without thought allows
the misunderstanding of the doctor and
attendants to be carried so far that
tire body Of the humble Henry is mis-

a remarkable valet. He stood between
his master and the world and accom-

"Marcus Aurelius and the
Later St0icS"

By Vice Principal F. W. Busseu. D. D. Pub
nshed by Charles Scrbner's Sons, New York.
Price S1.25.
This book by Vice Principal Bussell
is written for the student and the
scholar and not for the average reader
at all. Only the booklover. who is a
thorough master of Greek and Latin
and knows his classics well, can read
this book intelligently- or get any en-
Joyment from it. The professors treat
ment of his subject is pretty bold any
way, for.~he has filed his pages with
Latin and Greek quotations, which are
awesome to the prospective reader who
ruff1es the leaves
AS for the subject matter itself. the
author has plainly appealed to readers
who have thought much and studied
along the same lines. He goes into a
long and dreary resume of the imme-
dfate predecessors of Marcus Aurelius
particularly Epictetus; but the conclu
Sjons he comes to are apparently for
gotten in his later analysis.
One is impressed with the feeling
that Doctor Bussell Is trying through
out TO be very just in his translations
for though careful they are unbeautiful
and at the same time he shows us
plainly the inconsistencies of AureIius
philosophy.
In the limits of a newspaper review
we can not do justice to book of this
character; 1t is a brave attempt and
written by a student and a scholar, but
1t is a work which will make no new
friends for the master stole. 1t forms
one of the fine series of The Worlds
Epoch Makers" which are edited by
Duphant Smeaton and ranks with the
best of them.

"The Soul of a Serf"
By j. Breckenridge Ellis. Publis
& Lee. Chicago. Price 81.

By j. Breckenridge Ellis. Published by Laird
Lee Chicago. Price ST.
"The Soul of Serf" is romance of
love and yalor among the Angles and
the Saxons. It tells OF the yaiorous
deeds and impassionsd love of Usfrey,
a stalwart young Saxon hero. who.
though but serf. has dreams of fame
and fortune. He is secretly In love
with cuthberta, a beautiful ward Of
Lord Lila. cmeftain of his tribe. At
q great feast given to visiting Angle.
Lord Eumer. It is found that Eumer
loves Cuthberga and would win her;
so he proposes game Of dice in which
he stakes himself to be Lilla's slave
forever IL he throw the lowest dice,
but demands in return that Lila stake
'Cuthberga. Lila consents and this so
enrages Cuthberga, who loves him Sc
cretly, not as ward and guardian, that
she sends the high priest out to- find
the first serf in the village, whom she
will wed rather than either Of these
men. The priest returns with Usfrey,
already journeying toward the feast,
hoping to obtain service. They are
married at once and the remainder of
the book is devoted to the working
out of the problem. Cuthberga treats
her serf husband like the dirt under
her feet, and it is only by superhuman
endeavors that he at last wins the love
and respect of his wife.
The book is OF a certain interest, but
poorly and cheaply written. It con-
tains some fair illustrations and is
well printed and bound.
