Documentary Romance
Miss Sidgwick's Sequel to Her
''Hatchways.

'AsnaS.N smaa. Maynard 1s f'a'' E CO. o''A ~ "
We call this a sequel to Hatch
ways" though it is not professedly
that, for it presents some of the same
characters, eight years later. "othsr
times, other manners" In Hatch
ways" there was no hint of the war.
In ""Jamese" the influence of the war
is inceesantly felt, subjectively and OBJ
jectivcly; although it is not war
novel" But every tale of English life
background. What does figure largely
is the perennial Irish question" in
one of its latest and most violent
phases. But in dealing with it as with
the great war itself Miss Sidgwick is
always admirably restrained and judi
cious.
A peculiarity of the work is that it
consists almost entirely of letters and
other documents, or parts of them, and
citations of conversations. There is no
narrative whatever in the usual sense
of the term. To relate romance in
such fashion was a daring undertaking
but Miss Sidgwick has achieved 1t
with triumphant skill. The whole work
IS intensely human. the greatest inter
ests of the world being made to serve
merely as background and scenery for
the doings of the little company of
people about whom the book is written
The same power of character drawing
that has been evident in her forme,
works is finely visible here; exercised
as successfully through the words OF
the people themselves as it could be
through an authors narrative and de.
scription. 1t is a work of fascinatinp
! charm.

Histories Of Various Lands
Persons and Affairs of Note
By Willis Fletcher johnson

America, on the other hand. had nc
such training. but were accustomed to
having all their politics prescribed for
them by sovereigns and ministers. and
they therefore depended upon individ-
ual leaders. Thus Miranda and boli.
var, Hidalgo and Sam Martin, were
more Indispensable to the revolutions
in their countries than any single men
were to ours.
We shall do we'll to learn more than
we commonly know about the seven
great leaders whose biographies are
related in this handsome volume. In
no other way we enter into bet.
ter understanding of and sympathy
with our Southern neighbors. And the
author of this book has made the gain
ing of such knowledge very easy and
very pleasant. He has told his stories
with scholarly accuracy. with encyclo.
pedic comprehensivenesss and with ro.
mantle charm, coordinating the chap
ters into a coherent whole, and supple
menting the work with about the best
photography that we remember to have
seen. His volume must form an indis-
pensable and conspicuous part of every
library dealing with Spanish -Ame rican
affairs.
