of any publication Of especial merit that
has been overlooked by reviewers or has
not received general recognition. On the
contrary, reviewers have been quick TO
seize on any book that had claim to dis
tinction and have been in general discrim-
mating in their recognition. The reading
public, however, has not always followed
the reviewers. That wonderful life story
of Maria Botehkareva, Yashka, heartily
praised by the best reviewers, has not been
taken up by the reading public as it de-
serves to be, and as it will be if the public
can be led to appreciate what treat is in
store for those who read it. Recent indi-
cations, however, suggest that Yashkd
may yet come into its own. The impor-
lance of The Children Of France and the

but it has not been adequately appreciated
by the public Ardours and Esdurances,

i. Speed Sampson. We published
this book-a sequel to Miss Ninerra and
William Green Hll-on September 2.
Three editions, totalling nearly 10000
copies, were sold by March 1. A fourth
was ready March Is. (Curiously, Billy
has never, think, been on hist of "best
sellers; probably because the sales have
been very widely distributed and largely
outside of our four largest cities).
Why has it soldf Because all of US,
married or single, old maids or old bach
elors, have somewhere in our hearts a love
for children. And Billy aud the Major is
mainly about some of the most delightful
children in fiction. Furthermore, because
this book is honest, genuine, human and
above all is full of the kind Of humor
that has universal appeal.

sales exceeded even our expectations, We

be near that figure, since we are watching
the stock carefully in the expectation Of
going to press again. The success OF the
second Mable book, That's Ne Al Ocer,
Noble, published less than two months
ago, was not unexpected. So far we have

L one best seller during last year, but
two, Whites In the Heart of Fool and
Weiss Joan and Peter. These novels
have been keeping so close together, week
by week and month by month, that until
the actual figures are compiled it is i'm
possible to say which is in the lead. The
surprising thing about it, too, is that these
books are both long books, and both Of
somewhat serious nature. And yet per-
haps that is not so surprising after all, for
the reader who likes Wells would like
White, and it may be that the two vol
umes are being read by much the same
public, which, if this is so, would account
for their equal popularity.
9. Which book of Macmillan's of IN
usual merit has been decidedly overlooked
by reviewers, or the public, or bothf
iona Gales Birth. This is not to say
that the reviewers and the public have al
together missed this story. Far from it.
1t has had fairly large sale. but it has
not had the sale which, in our opinion, it
merits. We regard it not only as Miss
Gales best work, but as q really signif-
cant and permanently valuable addition to
modern literature.
Nor has the story been entirely over
looked by the reviewers. The more dis
eliminating of the critics Gin most cases
those of the larger publications and in
cluding THE SUN have voiced our own
admiration for it. In far too many cases,
however, the story has been passed over
with n conventional notice.
. This raises the question as to whether
Miss Gales previous work helped or hin
dered the progress of the book. The au-
thor's Friendship Village stories, unde-
niably charming, were yet Of somewhat
limited appeal. The reading public, more
over, had come to associate Miss Gale with
that particular kind of writing, whereas
in Birth she has done something alto
gether different and on a much larger
plan. There are many indications that as
known it will no longer be the undiscov-
cred or overlooked volume.
3. OF the books published by Macmil-
Ian in the last twelve months, which one

1t is not book published by Macmil-
Ian in the last twelve months that has
upset trade precedents, but book pub
ished the year before, which has "come
back"-St. John Ervine's Changing
Winds. This story upon its publication
had very satisfactory sale and was well
received by the critics. Then after a
period it died. This year it has come
back, beginning with small sale several
months ago and constantly increasing I'M
til it is now having a really large sale.
This certainly is most unusual record
As to the wherefor Of its return, we have
no explanation TO offer, unless it be that
at the time Of its publication interest was
so taken up by the war lit came out just
about the time that we entered into the
eonfiet) that many who wanted to read
it could not find the opportunity to do so
and PIT it down for future reference. But
whatever the cause, Changing Winds is
now a going book. h. S. LATHAM.

Charles Scribner's Sons.

Charles Scribner'S Sons.
CCRIBNER'S, "an things considered"
~ best seller of recent months is John
Hastings Turner's Simple Sosls, the de-
hciously extravagant romance Of mod
ern king and q modern beggar maid.
Turner has been one of the big London
finds of the year and this, his first book,
has already been drarnatized on the other
side. Here, however, the book started
simply as a first novel by totally new
and unknown author, and it was further
handicapped by being published late In
the season in the midst Of the distractions
of a Liberty Loan drive. Not only did
the book get away to fast start but at
the present time shows no signs Of flag
cling; in fact, it has achieved the remark
able record Of selling more copies each
week since its publieation-with the ex-
ception of four weeks scattered through
as many months-than were sold IN the
preceding week.
The Scribner book "of unusual merit"
that we feel has been overlooked in
recent months is Petrograd Sisce the
Revolution, by Muriel Buchanan, daugh-
ter of the British Ambassador to Petro-
grad from 1910 to 1918. This book
was first brought out under the title The
Cay Of Trouble, with the subtitle Pe.ro-
grad Since the Revolution. Now it may
be "a rose by any other name is just as
sweet" but this isn't always true Of books.
So We began to wonder if the book might
not reach the public it 80 generously de-
serves more quickly if its main title were
to carry little more Of the timeliness Of
the contents. We finally decided to re-
wise the title and subtitle, 30 that the
book is now Petrogyad Since the Rerolu-
tion. with The City of Trouble az the sub
title. Will this simple expedient turn
the trick and get the following this timely
and wildly written record meritsi We
wonder-we wonder with the intensity
that only the publisher who believes thor
oughly in book that hasn't yet found its
real public can feel! .-.
What Scribner book has upset trade
preeedents in the past year"f Unqnes-
tionably the Seribner book Of the year
in this class is Leo E. Millers big
four dollar and a half volume, In the
Wilds Of South America, describing his
six years of exploration IN South
America. In sales it bids fair to dupi-
cate the remarkable success Of Osborn's
Men of the Old Stone Age, which was the
Henry Adams of three years ago.
