AN IRRITATING BOOK.


We have before us the most dis
concerning book we have ever seen
THE Bookman's Manual: A Guide to
Literature" by Bessie Graham OR. r.
Bowker Coz 1t has ruined our bovine
complacency. We used to think we
were well read. We don't any more.
Even though you find it an irritat-
ing experience to learn that you don't
know much about books after all, we
advise you to buy a copy of "The
Bookman's Manual" You might as
well learn the truth now. You'll find
it out sooner or later anyhow.
"The basis of this book" says Miss
Graham in her preface, was course
of lessons on book craftsmanship. given
at the William Penn Evening High
School, Philadelphia So many APP
plications for the material were re-
ceived from persons living too far
away to attend the school that the
lessons were published serially in The
Publishers Weekly"
Miss Graham may not realize 1t, but
she has prepared a work that should
be of as much service to the general
reading public as 1t will be to the
book trade. The word manual" in
the title may scare away some readers
it almost scared us-but the book

selfish interest in it; it is going to
save us a lot of work. People are
constantly asking us to suggest books
for discussion at literary clubs. We
are pretty obliging guy and yet we
always find this a trying experience.

give our precious advice meet us on
the street after their particular little

cussed the book we suggested and tell

beside the point. Mr.. Flick. you may

as a suspicious character and had
a trying time of it. After he had
narrated his narrowing experiences,
and we had feelingly consoled him.
we changed the subject to books in
cidentally calling his attention to The

To give Mr.. Flick an idea of the
comprehensiveness Of Miss Graham's

Miss Graham puts to her readers and
suggested that he might care to
answer them. These are the questions
we selected:
1. Explain the title. "The New

2. Who is the chief authority on the
etymology Of English geographic

3. What is the sequel to Mommsen's
History of Rome?"

volume "Decadence." A word that
needs disassociation from current con-
rotations if ever there were one. In
the essay on "Stephane Mallarme and
the Idea of Decadence" the supersti-
ton that decadence and decay are
synonymous is laid bare to the roots.
1t was Baudelaire who said that de
cadence is q very convenient word for
ignorant pedagogues; vague word
behind which our laziness and lack of
curiosity concerning the law take
shelter" All mavericks are decadent;
revolt of the part against the whole is
decadence; all forms of originality
are decadent-that is the common
notion.
What the unthinking call "deca-
dence" as matter of fact, is the chal-
lenge of the individual creator to
classic forms and academic rigmarole.
All imtators are in reality decadents.
If decadent means decay, then lit
erature Or an art that is purely imita-
tive is decaying. Mediocrity is always
decadent-and parasitic. Paul Elmer
More is a decadent. James Huneker
is an innovator.
"Philosophic Nights in. Paris" is
miscellaneous series on various sub
iects. They are about Helvetius, i'm
mortality, Leopard the art OF seeing,
free will, insurrection of the verte-
brates, the rivers of France, and
Footprints on the Sands" a collec-
ton of De Gourmont's epigrams and
paradoxes. You may get the bouque<
Of the latter in this one: Civilization
is the cultivation of everything that
Christianity calls vice."
Poet, satirist, scholar, thinker, nov
elist and epigrammatist, Remy de
Gourmonts works are the history OF
intellectual France in the last thirty
wears. He was one of the great civil
izers of the time.
These two books are treasure
trove to those who love thinkers in
contradistinction to system-stringers
and professional hopesmiths.

mythmakers, sublime liars and super

De Gourmont's philosophy CD Is
thus, like the philosophy of Nietzsche

mob is a perpetual Yea-sayer. But
there is always in session on the

small Sandhedrim of Nay-sayers. It

I'm the introduction to "Decadence"
Mr.. Bradley leads off with this
= statement:
when, more than ten years ago, |
wrote the first article on Remy de
Gourmont it was refused by one editor
on the ground that he could not as
sumo the responsibility of presenting
a writer of Gourmont's dangerous.
subversive and immoral tendencies to
the readers of his conservative and
highly respectable journal. Gourmonts
revenge-and mine-came a few years
later when, at the time of his death
in 1915, the same paper paid him
editorial tribute, recognizing the inn
portance of the place he had occu-
pied in the intellectual life In France
for quarter of century,
Remy de Gourmont. the most com
pick product of modern France, Is in
deed dangerous. subversive and inn
moral" if we connote by the words
what the man in the street would.
But it was just De Gourmonts work
in the intellectual world to disassoci-
ate commonplace words from their
age-Iong associations. He himself
would have demonstrated to his critic
that man may be dangerous" and
still a great civilizer that he may be
"subversive" and still constructive
instance Voltaire and Darwin-and
that he may be Immoral" and still
be a creator of new moral values
instance Socrates and Nietzche.

~ OLD SHOD is the
m ost powerful
novel dealing with
certain phases Of American
business and social life
since Dreiser's two great
books, The Genius and

relentlessly frank strength
and sincerity of purpose
which easily rank Mr.. Fues-

and the five or six young
English noveIists whose
names come quickest to
