medium he works, that the moral creates enthusiasm and so secures belief. In point of fact, literary illusion is obtained by moral warmth rather than by clear-cut logical consistency. The absence of the moral element from Poe's writings will appear the moment one attempts to state the subjects of his tales in moral terms. Shakespeare's "Macbeth" is a study of the effect upon a man under temptation of the assurance that he can succeed by crime-the coworking of fatalism and ill desire. Hawthorne's "The Birthmark" works out the results of impatience with a slight blemish in what is otherwise perfect. The "Fall of the House of Usher" might have shown how gloomy antici pations tend to fulfill themselves, if the author had not involved stone and mortar in the ruin. The problem of "Ligeia"-the victory of will over death-can be stated, and there would have been a satisfactory basis for the action if Poe could have kept to the subject-if he had not, as is his wont, over-emphasized the eyes, the squirming draperies, and other such details, and if he had not confused all moral sense by the notion that there was something criminal in taking a bride into such an apartment. If the murder included in "The Black Cat" is not utterly motiveless, it is at least to be hoped that a long time must pass before men take to wifemurder with no more rational promptings thereto. Comparison of "The Gold Bug" with Stevenson's "Treasure Island" reveals at once the defect in Poe: Stevenson leads his reader gradually up to interest in the success of the quest, and arouses a distinctly moral prejudice, to which much of our interest is due; we take sides against the party among whom are to be found some of the most cruel of the pirates who had by murder and pillage gathered the treasure. I do not care to weigh against each other Poe's wonderful linguistic perfection and his weakness in that part of art which has to do with the gathering and marshaling of fact and motives. I only wish to remind those who are charmed by his mastery of the resources of speech that it is vain to expect our people, for the present at least, to overlook the absence of moral motive and of consequent realism. For the present: if the time ever comes when the creations of the opium eater's imagination are actually born into the world and live out their careers, they will be apt to take him "home to at least they will admire the prophetic genius which enabled him to write their biographies beforehand. their business and bosoms," A.

The author, who is the founder of the Japan Society, shows that Japan is not only a traveler's paradise, "a pleasant land of beautiful scenery, a country inhabited by an interesting race with charming, gentle manners," but also (as has been evident since her defeat of China) the land of a brave and serious nation of fighting and thinking men-a nation capable of being, and determined to be, a dominant factor in the Eastern world. China, credited, until her overthrow, with boundless stores of latent strength, is shown to be an inert mass, drifting toward disintegration. Mr. Diósy sketches the changes in manners and customs that have produced "the new Japan," and concludes with a consideration of political conditions in the East, and a suggestion as to the expedient Oriental policy of England in the future. The book is illustrated by Kubota Reisen, a Japanese artist well known in this country, where he visited and held exhibitions of his work in 1893-1894. Lone Pine.

The book opens with an account of "a living volcano," instances being given which explain it at every stage from birth to death. Then, after some preliminary explanations of certain technicalities, the author conducts the reader, as it were, to the dissecting theater and points out what may be the discoveries in this method of study.

In The Law and History 2 vols. 8°. George Borrow was born in East Dereham, Norfolk, England, in 1803. At the age of seventeen he was articled to a solicitor at Norwich. He spent much of his time studying languages, for which he had a great gift, acquiring among other tongues that of the gypsies. After much adventurous roaming and many struggles, in 1833 he received the appointment as agent of the British and Foreign Bible Society, in which capacity he traveled extensively, learning with marvelous ease the language of each country visited by him. He was noted for his eccentricities, his fondness for the gypsies, his passion for athletic exercises, his scorn for the gentilities of life and his vigorous advocacy of the doctrines of the Church of England. Borrow was the author of many works and translations, the most important of these being Lavengro and The Bible in Spain. By of Copyright in Books. AUGUSTINE BIRRELL, Q.
