An English Publishers Views
Sir Ernest Holder William Describes
British Readers Likes and Dislikes

English and have had a wide sale in
this country.
The renaissance in poetry, which was
confidently expected as a result of thu
war, has, like most Of the regenera-
tlons looked for through the war.
not materialized, to judge crassly by
the sales reports. Rupert Brooke was
the one poet to touch a genuinely
popular chord with poetry The rest Of
the host OF young poets who have arisen
through the war, in spite of the whole
hearted shoutings of reviewers, remain
lntelligible only to that small literary
arlstocracy which has always rallied
about poetry. Publishers, says Sir
William, still count themselves lucky
If they sell 800 copies of the work Of
a hlghly-praised young poet. Masofeld
has large public, but his vogue was
established long before the war. The
great favorite Of the English verse
reading public is, however, Rudyard
Kipling. A new edition of his collected
verse, in three volumes, at a guinea
already had an astounding sale.
Sir William said he was amazed to
find how great a stir Maugham's "Moon
try. In England it was favorably COM
mented upon and has had, on the whole,
an excellent sale, but it did not pro-
woke anything like the discussion that
it did in this country. All of the con-
temporaneous English novelists, with
the possible exception of MI Wells.
have larger sales and greater pres
tige in this country, he says, than in
their own. Arnold Bennett, who fol-
lows Wells closely in popularity in
this country. falls far behind him in
England. We are accustomed here to
think of Wells and Bennett, and Onions
and Cannan and Compton Mackenzie
and Beresford and Swinnerton, as a.
single group with a group tendency. But
in England they are regarded entirely
as individuals with no influence on
one another.
Sir William denied vigorously the
assertion of some one that D. H. Law
renee is potent force in modern Eng
lish writing. The solid British reading
public is scarcely aware Of d. H. Law
renee, he says, and his effect has been
noticeable only on the younger and more
superficial writer's The dominating fig
ures in the English literary field, in his
opinion and that of more conservative
English critics, are Frank Swinnerton,
whose novel, "Nocturne," was sponsored
by H. G. Wells, and J. c. Squires, the
literary critic of "The New Statesman"
Still, he was obliged to admit that
British literary opinion is sluggish
thing and not to be counted upon for
any accuracy of judgment in its imme-
diate reactions. 1t deferred for more
, than forty years recognition of Samuel
Butler. There are a small group of
writer's whose audiences increase from
year to year-among them are Samuel
Butler and W. H. Hudson, the naturalist.
The English railway bookstand is a
great factor in facilitating the sale of
books. 1t is usually as completely
stocked as the best of our book shops.
Our American railway bookstands are
given over principally to periodicals.
our book shops are, he finds it,ssurpris-
ing that books sell as widely as.they do.

EsThe Other Wise Man,

A striking presentation of Henry van
Dykes colo-ful word-picture, "The
Other Wise Man." was given in Orange
few days ago. When Professor AL
bert T. Davis stepped out on the stage
Of the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation of the Oranges to give a read
ing of this favorite tale, the curtain
rose on a great oil painting, beside
which stood the characters of living
tableau, posed as though they had just
stepped out of the pages of "The Other
Wise Man." Seven Of these scenes
in all were shown, the paintings being
the work of Mrs Arthur T. Davis, Of
the Woman's Auxiliary. 1.-THE Other
Wise Man." which is published by
Harper & Brothers, has gone through
ffty-fve large printings.
New-York tribune., 1920-01-03

To admit that modern splritualist
media share the miraculous powers ac-
corded to Christ and the Apostles
would imperil the edifice Of belief upon
which every orthodox church rests.
Every age of history has its more or
less obscure and badly described in
Stances of spiritualist possession. Such
cases are probably more common IL
Russia and Asia than in Western
Europe and America; but no country
is devoid of them. With a great amount
of conflicting testimony from scientists
'of equal eminence it would be rash and
presumptous to pronounce final ver-
dict either for or against the reality
OF psychic phenomena. The numerous
cases of proved fraud in connection
with experiments in this field should
not prejudge the case; chemistry grew
out of alchemy, and the false science
of astrology gave birth to the true
science OF astronomy. Psychical re-
search is legitimate and fascinating
subject of inquiry; and the conclusions
of such skilled investigators as Hyslop
and Darlington are entitled to respect
full consideration.
But to Sir Arthur Conan Doyle spirit
ualism is not debatable scientific
question; it is religious creed, which
he champions with the zeal Of an ardent
proselyte. He will hear of no skepti-
cism, no lukewarmness; any one who re-
jects the new faith must be a bigoted
materialist, whose eyes are closed to
vital and obvious truth. He claims the
rights Of established facts for theories
which are still in their infancy 81,
Arthur's work is interesting rs frank
and vigorous exposition of a persona
theory; it will doubtless appeal to con
vinced believers in spiritualism; but It
will scarcely move skeptics or win over
doubters. W. II. C.

industrialism unquestionably has many
sins to answer for. It's failure has
perhaps been most complete from the
aesthetic standpoint. A system that
places premium upon making q liv-
ing sometimes makes us forget how to
live. The classicals period, the Middle
Ages and the Renaissance, can all
teach us valuable lessons in the uses O
leisure, in the deep, quiet joys of re
Election, in the keen and ardent appre-
citation of beauty.
But only a man desperately deter
mined to prove theory could speak
of "a righteous and benefcent social
system" of "a political estate marked
by justice and liberty" III connection
with the Middle Ages. The social or.
der which prevailed almost everywhere
throughout this period condemned the
great mass of the people to live in
state of hopeless serfdom, exposed to
the tyranny and rapacity Of every petty
robber baron. Outside of the Church
the was no acknowledgment of the
spiritual equality Of man, no recogni-
tion of the dignity of human person
ality. The political systems of the
Middle Ages fuctuated between des-
potism and anarchy. and the hapIess
people were either oppressed by bad
laws or forced to live without the pro
lection of any law whatever. A few
magnificent cathedrals, few stirring
ballads, few tones of acute scholas-
tic philosophy cannot atone for the in
tellectual barenness of the period. q
barrenness that can be directly traced
to its political and social background.
Freely admitting the faults of our own
age and generation, any candid hstori-
cal observer must feel that return e.
medieval habits of thought and life
would be as disastrous as it is imprac
ticable. W. H. C.

Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh
MIR. Grams Plea for Medievalism Not
Warranted in the Light of History

GOLD. FRANK1NcENsH AND MYRRH.
BY Ralph Adams Cram. Marshall
Jones Company. Boston.
In these three. essays Mr.. Cram
makes vigorous attack upon the ex-
isting social order, but he attacks it
from reactionary, not from a radical.
standpoint. He feels that the material
development Of the world has been un-
accompanied by any corresponding
growth of spiritual idealism since the
Reformation. And he is convinced that
the only way of salvation lies in a
frank reversion to medievalism, in a
revival Of monasticism and an unre-
served acceptance of the dogmas Of the
Catholic faith. The message of the
essays is practically summed up in the
following paragraph:
II ask, then, return, explicit and
uncompromising, to that philosophy of
life which was the crowning intellectual
Ages, when Christianity was fully op-
erative; to that philosophy which
supplemented, in unity and perfection,
that Catholic religion that had issue
in a righteous and benefcent So
cial system, in political estate marked
by justice and liberty, and in a great
and Incompatible plexus of all the arts
that lowered at last in that Cathedral
Of Our Lady Of Rheims. which it's an
tithesis, modern materialssm, could
only desecrate and destroys"
1t is always easy to extol the past
in comparison with the present. The
defects of past ages are softened and
obscured by the passage of time; only
their achievements are still seen in full
perspective. On the other hand, an
active, idealistic mind is almost GER
tain to be more impressed by the
shortcomings than by the virtues of

Spiritualis1n as RELIGION
Arthur Conan Doyle Upholds New Faith
With the Zeal Of an Ardent Proselyte

THE VITAL MESSAGE. By Arthur
Conan Doyle: George H. Doran Com
pany. New York.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is a most
enthusiastic believer In the reality of
psychic phenomena. In fact he sees In
spiritualism the stuff and basis of u
new religion. This new religion, as he
interprets it, accepts the general spirit
of the teachings of Christ. but rejects
the Old Testament elements Of the
Bible and lays no stress upon the mys-
tical aspects of the Crucifxion.
Sir Arthur is convinced that q vivid
and credible picture Of the world to
come is given in the spirit messages
which have already been received
through sympathetic media. Probably
the most famous of these messages is
contained in Sir Oliver Lodges Cray
mond." Basing his ideas upon the rev.
Citations from this source, Sir Arthur
states his conception OF the future life
of the disembodied soul as follows:
'Ihere is action for the man of ac-
ton, intellectual work for the thinker,
artistic, literary, dramatic and reliR-
lous for those whose God-given powers
lie that way. What we have both in
brain and character we carry over with
us. No man is too old to learn, for
what he learns ne keeps. There is no
physical side to love and no child birth,
though there is close union between
those married people who really Low.
each other, and, generally, there is
deep, sympathetic friendship and COM
radeship between the sexes"
Sir Arthur interprets the miracles of
the New Testament as extraordinary
demonstrations Of psychic power. In
the light Of this theory his irritation
at the opposition to spiritualism ex-
pressed by the various Christian
churches seems rather unreasonable.

thinly veiled episodes of all the per-
versities, normalities and dam-fool-
ishness of sex. There is an under
current of extreme sensuality through
out the book, and once the trick Of

page. Cabell has cleansed his bosom
of much perilous stuff-a little too
much, in fact, for "Jurgen" grows tire
some toward the end-but he has said
everything about the mechanics of

THE TURNPIKES OF NEW ENGLAND. By
Frederic j.. Wood Marshall Jones Com
pany, Boston.
A vast amount Of historical and anti
quarian information is contained in
this exhaustive description of the New
England turnpikes. The author has
spared no pains to make his study of
the subject accurate and complete to
the last detail. In addition to the main
theme of the work, the author inserts a
brief sketch of the origin of the turn
pike in England and describes some Of
the more famous turnpikes which were
built in other states. The value of the
book is still further enhanced by it's
numerous handsome illustrations, which
give a charming representation of the
New England countryside.

Rupert Hughes's Novel

Rupert Hughes, known the country
over as novelist, but whose most re-
cent book, "The Fairy Detective" is
anything but novel, sent to Harper
& Bros. this week over half of the
manuscript Of his next novel. Mr..
Hughes has come to believe in the
freedom which the longer form gives
che story-teller. and it is probable that
this new novel will be between 10000
and 10000 words in length. "The
Fairy Detective" was written for one
small person, but the Harpers brought
it out this fall as published juvenile.
A good many of Mr.. Hughes writing
friends, as we'll as their children, have
been impressed with the unusual ap-
peal of the story, which combines the
fairy element and a modern twist dis
tinctly American in it's note.
