SKETCHES IN DUNELAND. BY Earl H. Reed.
Illustrated by the author. Alto. pp. PSI The
John Lane Company.
With both pencil and pen Mr.. Reed
has entered into the very spirit of the
dunes, and thus has achieved a task
Of more than ordinary difficulty. For
there is probably no spot on the earth
more subtle and more complex in its
suggestions and more battling to COM
prehension than the duneland above
all, perhaps. the duneland of the inland
seas. That mysterious region has
something Of the sea and something of
the shore, something of the mountains
and something of the plains, and a very
great something of none of these, but
exclusively of its own. Mr. Reed has
perceived ali these varied elements and
has written under the influence of
them, giving voice to them chiefly in
the words and acts of the people of the
dunelands, who are themselves as
unique and interesting as their habi-
tat. The illustrations, both portraits
and landscapes, are also in perfect SYM
rathy with the theme and are among
the best that we have ever seen.

Company 49, iAe''A'
The time is not yet for the writing
OF the life history of Ferdinand Foch
any more than for writing the defnitive
story Of the world war in which he
has been the worlds victor. Never
theless, he is a figure of such tran
scendent interest. and it is so desirable
that the world should know all it can
about him, that every earnest and SYM
pathetic effort to make him known is
to be welcomed
The author of this volume makes no
pretence at exhaustive personal re-
search at original sources. She simply
retells in her own lucid manner, and
with such personal comments as ap-
propriately occur to her. the story of
the great soldier as it has been told
to her and as she has read it in a null
tiplicity Of places. In this she renders
useful, timely and important service
which a multitude of readers will
gratefully appreciate. However simply
told, it is marvellous tale, and even
without expert comment or elucidation
its incidents disclose to the observant
mind the secret of his marvellous sue
New-York tribune., 1918-11-23

the Emperess Dowager is something
more than mere bit of marvellous re-
porting: it has about it the fine flavor
of letters. AS for Mr.. Clarke's pre-
sentation of one Of the most popular
legends in Japan, which he gives under
the title Of "The Soul of Nippon" it is
literature without apology Of any sort.
His chapter on Japanese newspapers,
as one would naturally expect from a
man of Mr.. Clarke's long experiences,
is the most complete and correct pre-
that we have seen. Therefore, even a
slight error, such as "there is no Jap
anese alphabet" which he makes on
page 249. jars one like real shock
Japan had her alphabets before the
time of Kobodaishi, the famous Bud
dhist divine, the founder. of the Shingon
sect, although popular tradition makes
him the author of Hira-kana. And the
famous priest lived and toiled in TIA
S35 A. D. Therefore Japan had let
ters more than six centuries before
America. 1t is true though that the
modern written and printed Japanese
IS not altogether spelled out with Jap
anese letters. 1t is a terrific mixture of
the Japanese letters. with the Chinese
ideographs. 1t is this which makes the
composing room of a Toxic daily
wonderland Of unutterable confusion
And it is this which explains why men
like Lafcadio Hearn and many other
lesser authorities on things Japanese
could not and can not real single line
OF japanese newspapers, let alone her
classics.
But a few little flaws of this type will
doubtless be corrected in the second
edition of Mr.. Clarke's book, for it is
work Of permanent value and should
never be shelved with books of travel
lers' impressions which are choking the
book stalls of this country.

BY Rafael Sabatini 12mo. pp. 342. j. B.
Lppdncott Company.
There is not one of the thirteen his.
toric episodes of which Mr. Sabatin
has here written that is not we'll worthy
Of almost any exploitation that can be
given to it. Some of them are, OF
course, familiar to the world, and have
been the theme of innumerable writer's
in prose and verse, in history and in
fiction. Others are less known-to
many not known at all-and yet no less
devoid of interest. The result of Mr.
Sabatini's treatment is a gallery OF
great historic scenes, painted with
words, every one of absorbing atten-
tion, and of much technical merit as a
work of art.
That is not, however, the sole result
Another is the presentation of the
truth of history, in cases in which often
the truth has been obscured or dis
torted. We do not know to what eX-
tent Mr.. Sabatini had it in mind to cor
rect errors, but we feel certain that in
some of these chapters he has done
very much in that direction. Consider
ing the variety Of his themes, in time
and place and character, he has dis
played remarkable versatility in treat
ing each according to its own special
circumstances. In the form and with
all the fascination Of sheer romance, he
has made a valuable contribution to
historical literature.
