“With 100 sketches in colour, monochrome and line made by the author in the autumn and winter of 1918, when sent on duty to Palestine by the admiralty for the Imperial war museum ” reads the informing sub-title of this book. The author further informs us that hostilities were over when he reached his destination and he had to hurry up with his pictures and get over the ground as quickly as possible. He thus obtained glimpses of things and places from every point of view without rhyme or reason and found, in sorting out his drawings, that he was much better off than he would have been with more leisure. The pictures with his diary and explanatory notes make the story of the “Last crusade.” The contents are: Over old roads;
Pisgah Heights; The streets of Askelon; Chariots of iron; Abana and Pharpar; The glory of Lebanon; The coasts of Tyre and Sidon; Seaplane ships; The gates of Gaza; Armageddon; The valley of death; In terra pax.

For better, for worse (Eng title, Remedy against sin). *$2 (1c) Dodd

A story based on the injustice of the English divorce law. Feeling herself unloved and unwanted in her own home, Claire Gilmour marries Roderick Vaughan. She knows nothing of marriage and the feeling of admiration and affection which she had confused with love quickly dies. Roddy is a spendthrift and a brute. He squanders all of Claire’s fortune he can lay his hands on and bullies her into giving him more by threatening to take her child from her. She endures every indignity, but the members of her family, who had disapproved of the marriage, are set absolutely against divorce. Roddy goes to America and Claire learns the meaning of peace. He returns and consents to a divorce, but withdraws his consent when Claire inherits money and brings a counter charge of infidelity against her, quite false but easily proved true in court. Roddy and Claire are both declared unfaithful and hence forced to live in wedlock. Claire takes the one way open and goes away with the man who loves her and whose career has been ruined by the divorce scandal.
“The author who sets out deliberately to write a novel with a purpose must content himself with being a little less than an artist, a little more than a preacher. In ‘A remedy against sin’ Mr W. B. Maxwell has chosen to obscure his talents under a wig and gown that
he may deliver a tremendous attack against the monstrous injustice of our present divorce laws. Up to a certain point we must admit that ‘A remedy against sin’ is a great deal better than the majority of novels.” K. M.

“The end is one that few novelists would have the courage to record, but it is a logical end, although it is not one that readers who seek for a novel with a ‘high moral purpose ’ will approve.

“One thing about this new novel cannot, in view of its subject, be too strongly emphasized, and that one thing is this: it is absolutely clean. Admirable in its construction, sane and realistic in its development, intensely interesting from beginning to end, this new novel by W. B. Maxwell is a thoughtful, conscientious and notable book, a book worthy of the man who wrote ‘In cotton wool’ and ‘Mrs Thompson.’”

“A more moving fiction character than Claire is not often drawn and all the more so that the author refrains from forcing the note of pathos.

Unfortunately his old love whistles him back, and his fall so preys on his mind that he is about to commit suicide, when the war breaks out, and he reflects that the enemy can probably ‘do the business’ as expeditiously as he himself. His final redemption of character and his wife’s forgiveness are effectively described.” Spec

In his introduction the author bewails the triumph of the teetotaller and the fact that “perfect social reform casteth out conviviality.” “In this book,” he says, “I have tried to offer to my readers practically the whole cream of our convivial songs. But ... I tried to omit everything that was not English in its spirit and in its authorship.... I have compromised to the extent of admitting poems by Scotsmen and Irishmen, while excluding their work when in dialect.... There are some good American drinking songs, but a prohibitionist nation does not deserve to be represented in the jolliest book in the world.” Only a few modern songs have been included, for the author holds that they lack spontaneity and appear to have been written out of pleasant affectation or in order to point a moral. There is an index of first lines.

Katherine Mayo, originally prejudiced against the Y. M. C. A., went to France, so she says, on these terms: as a free agent, paying her own expenses, and only receiving from the Y. M. C. A. the right to wear its uniform and to examine its records. Her manuscript was not submitted to any member of the Y. M. C. A. for criticism or approval. The title she has given it she considers a disguised tribute: “They both wanted and expected to find the Y everywhere.... So, as naturally as breathing, always and all the time: ‘Where’s that damn Y?’” She renders a high tribute to Edward Clark Carter, “the head and shaper of the whole Y effort overseas. ” The chapters giving her impressions include: The point of view; The key man; Christmas with the A. E. F.; The post exchange; Hot water, by gosh! Never dare judge; The way the people’s money goes; How can we thank them? Contributing facts. There are an index and two appendices: A. Partial

MAYRAN, CAMILLE. Story of Gotton Connixloo, followed by Forgotten; tr. by Van Wyck Brooks. (Library of French fiction) *$2 Dutton
20–11072
“Although this series of translations from the French is described by the publishers as ‘illustrating the life and manners of modern France,’ the first of the two exquisite tales which make up the present volume has to do, not with France, but with Flanders. It relates the history of the bellringer’s motherless daughter, christened Marguerite, but always called Gotton Connixloo, telling of her pathetic childhood, into which there entered few caresses and little play, and of her love for the lame, red-haired smith, Luke Heemskerck, who for her sake deserted his shrewish wife and five little children. Very delicately, very surely, does the author trace the slow development of remorse and of that consciousness of sin which at last, when the German inundation swept over the countryside, caused Gotton to become a martyr, ransoming by her sacrifice the lives of all those in the village. ‘Forgotten,’ the second of the two tales, is also a story of the German invasion, but a story of a very different kind, and of a very different class of people.” N Y Times

In the introduction E. F. Richards, the editor of these letters, gives a short sketch of the career and character of Mazzini with their historical background and describes the various members of the English family, the Ashursts, to whom the letters were written. The value of the letters themselves, she says, lies in their exhibition of Mazzini’s character, his great and tender heart, never yet adequately shown. Explanatory paragraphs by the editor, throughout the book, help to unify the contents. The book contains several portraits of Mazzini and of the Ashurst family, and an index.
“The book has not much fresh information to offer; but it revives the Mazzini legend in all its magic.” D. L. M.

MECKLIN, JOHN MOFFATT. Introduction to social ethics. *$3 (1½c) Harcourt 20–8267
In defining democracy the author holds that equity is more fundamental to it than popular sovereignty and that the insistence of equality must be limited to equality of opportunities. “Deeper than the notion of popular rule or of equality is that of fraternity, of spiritual and moral like-mindedness.” On this basis he looks upon the development of a social conscience as the task of democracy. Part 1 of the book which is Historical and introductory contains: The problem of democracy; The religious background; Calvinism; The triumph of individualism; The great society; Our uncertain morality. Part 2. Psychological, contains: The organization of the moral sentiments; The social conscience; Public opinion and the social conscience; Limitations of the social conscience; The problem of moral progress. Part 3, The social order, contains: The rôle of the institution in the moral economy; The individual, and the institution; The home; The ecclesiastical ethic; The school and the social conscience; The ethics of private property; Mechanism and morals; The worker and the machine process; The ethics of business enterprise; The problem of the city; Political obligation in American democracy. There is a bibliography at the end of each chapter, with a list of magazine articles and there is an index.
“Professor Mecklin’s book, like every other that is vital, contains many provocations to controversy, but from beginning to end it moves in a healthy atmosphere. It is an educative book, not a package of predigested dogmas.” A. W. Small
