CLARK'S
FIELD
BY ROBERT HERRICK

"Mr. Herrick'S fiction is force
for the higher civilization which
to be widely felt needs only to be
widely known" w. D. Howells.
"To define him is, in way, TO de
fine the American people itself. For
among writer's of recent times, living
or dead, there is hardly any one who
in my opinion, has come nearer de-
serving the epithet national.
Edwin Bjorkman.
"Mr. Herrick's strength lies, not
in the probing analysis of individual
lives. but in the broad, compre-
hensive Interpretation of human mo-
tiveS and tendencies in the mass;
and this gift of generalization, this
rare ability TO treat life on an epic
scale with a bold sweep of brush
strokes, an imposing breadth of can
vas. has developed and progressed
steadily with each successive vol.
ume." Frederic Taber Cooper.
GAS an artist he has all the re-
sources OF talent, and in rich meas
ure. Even to stranger his style is
remarkable for clearneSS and eu-
phony." --Harald Nelson.

spectablity that is Of the French prov

ical siesta hour. Thither drifted minor

The Hotel Griffou is only memory
now, one Of many preserved in Mr.
Janvier's stories. There are five OF

more appealing than their atmosphere

of the personages, foreign and native,
who in them play their parts. Janvier

best: he knew how to make it tell the
better through alien turns of speech
and exuberance of manner. His hui
NOR was always kindly, as he always
made us love the world and our fell
lowmen a little better by allowing us
to see them through his eyes. Best of
all, perhaps, there is here the Episode

The curious, irresponsible memoirs

this volume will rank with Mr. Moore's
hest books-and his worst. There was
the promise Of some such mixed de-
velopment i'm the work when it was
first announced two or three years ago
Mr.. Moore was to tell us why he had

TORS From a man Of his brains and
aptitudes a brilliant report was TO be
expected as a matter OF course. We
have il. In the mere exercise OF his
craft Mr.. Moore has never been more
brilliant than in the three volumes OF
his Hail and Farewell" But even
amid the early delightful anticipations
Of the book which he was bound 10

too. that he would permit himself all
manner of doubtful passages. The
Memoirs Of My Dead Life" were there

mood this mastery writer is not pre-
cjselv to be trusted. Though he has
lived so much in France and has alb
sorbcd into his system so many OF the
PRINCIPLES Of French literary practice
he has missed the most characteristic
Of them all. the principle Of tact, He
misses it. at all events, when dealing
with personalities, and this large RENT
niscential fragment is, naturally, moth
ing II not personal. 1t is odd and a
little amusing that Mr.. Moore, of all
people in the world, should have fallen
into the error which we associate az a
rule only with the very young man
who. as the witty saying goes, has
never got back from Paris. Fearful OF
being mistaken for a prude, he hugs
the delusion that reticence is in some
sort moral quality and hence Is to
be fiouted. whereas for the purposes OF
a book like the one before us 1t should
be treasured first and last as purely
artistic resource.
AS Whistler must have told him LONG
ago. the artist is known by what ht
omits. and il is the harder to under
stand the frequency with which Mr.
Moore disigures his pages with stun
which is irrelevant, to say the least
when you consider that at bottom th'
book is essentially a work Of art. W.

JAMES OF MON MOUTH.
A Romantic Study of the Pre-.
tender.

ON THE LEFT OF A THRONE. A Per-
sOnal Study of James, Duke of Mon
mouth. BY Mrs. Evan Nepean. With
36 illustrations. Svo, PIP. 90 The John
Lane Company.
! If James. Duke Of Monmouth, was
not the son Of Charles ii he ought to
have been. If he was not, as he prob
ably was not, he at least received
through his light O. love mother an in
delible and overmastering impress
from that royal lover OF hers. If thus
he was not Stuart. but a Sidney. he
was at any rate more characteristically
Stuart than any Stuart Of them ALL
There was not one bad trait in any of
the four generations of his putative
predecessors-and they all had plenty
of them-that he did not possess: nor
was any of their few good traits alto
gether absent. He had the personal
beauty of Mary; in action he was the
nervous, dwelling idiot" that Macau-
lay describes James | to have been; he
was as tactless and inept as James II;
he rivalled Charles III himself in lib
ertinism, and at the end he bore him
self upon the scaffold with the spirit of
Charles |, who Nothing common did
or mean Upon that memorable scene"
lie was vital epitome of them all.
Mrs. Nepean's personal study" Of
him is readable and welcome, but we
must regard it as far more personal
than studious. No new facts are dis
closed, but all the we'll known records
of King Monmouth" are rehearsed,
vivaciously and with the authors own
CLOSES and interpretations. These lat
ter are often interesting and sug-
gestive; but they are too often based
upon sentiment and fancy rather than
cold logic. Indeed, sentiment and ro-
nance are dominant notes throughout
the book. The irresistible fascination
Of Monmouth's physical beauty, his
pitiable and tragic lot as a kings bast-
ard, the passionate but quite unmerited
love which Charles III showed for him
and for his wretched mother-these
and other like circumstances appeal
strongly TO the authors sympathy. Or
perhaps we should say TO her attention,
for II is difficult to imagine their really
appealing to sympathy. unless the lat
ter were Of kind resembling divine
pity. For fool. knave. pronigate.
craven. pretender. rebel-he was all
these; and such character does not
enlist champion.
Really. does such character deserve
a study; or any. at least, more seri-
Gus than this one? We should say not.
There was nothing in the man himself
Of substantial import; nor was there
anything in his deeds that materially
affected the progress OF affairs-unless
that he gave Jeffreys opportunity for
everlasting infamy in the Bloody AS
size. There are so many real men and
women in history, the study OF whom
is profitable and Instructive, that il
would be "a waste Of time TO give to the
poor flibbertigibbet OF the Merry Mon
archs court more studious attention
than Mrs. Nepean's discursive, emo
tional but entertaining pages afford.
We should add, however. word OF ad :
miring appreciation OF the manner In
which the volume is illustrated. The
