publishers New York A R Dcrgo Co Salt Lake City It seems very curious to present an edition like thla where the scenes and characters of the play l In the dramatized version arc the Il I tsstmaions

wartalcs and shows to excellent advantage In whatever guise It Is presented In explanation of the difference between the motive of a novel and that of a play the author says A novel may be of the nature of comedy com-edy may end happily that IH yet that happy ending may come through Its hero or heroine or both being ovormoatored by fate But In a play unless it is to boa bo-a tragedy or a farce iso hero or heroine must never make spiritual surrender to circumstance and If at on or another climax either of them Is outwardly overpowered over-powered by it they must still Impart to all beholders a flue hope and prophecy of victory at Iso end which must come at lust mainly by their I achievement This nrtlsllc requirement I venture to Fay disqualifies more strong rich novels for dramatization than docs any other stage necoualty And yet the Cavalier adapted Itself well to the accuracy and In this edition of 11 wo have an it were both the play and lie novel and the combination combina-tion Is most pleasing a result not In small degree owing to the artistic presentation of the work and the excellence of the reproduction re-production of tho Illustration Tho Story of a Bird

of prominent British statesmen with portraits por-traits Mr McCarthy Is a radical Home Ruler and his biographies arc tinged with his bias so that ho approves things in thus lives of hiss subjects from the standpoint stand-point of his own principles But In spite of that we have hero In the main very satisfactory accounts of lie careers and usefulness of Arthur James Balfour Lord Salisbury Lord Roscbory Joseph Client borIc Henry Labouchcro John Morley Mor-ley Lord Aberdeen John Burns Sir Michael Mi-chael HicksBench John E Redmond Sir Henry Harcourt James Bryce and Sir Henry CnmpbollBnnncrman The biographies bi-ographies of Mr Chamberlain and of Mr Bryeo are especially commendable There Is a halfhumorous halfscornful touch L upon the House of Lords In Lord Rose herys sketch which Is quite delicious The keen wit and acute observation of Mr McCarthy give life and spirit to 5 everything ho touches nnd nowhere do those qualities In his writing have better and more unrestricted play than In

larger subject of heredity In tIm human hu-man race and his lectures before the biographical bio-graphical department of the Chicago University Uni-versity on a now phase of heredity created creat-ed marked Interest among the professors Recent articles of his on tho orlnln of speed In horses have bnen widely commented com-mented on and have boon characterized as the most Important contributions on the principles of breeding yet given lo ihe public But In this book though there are references to the horse development the author concerns himself chiefly with time heredity of human beings claiming to have discovered the laws which He at the foundation of evolution and variation In species the author claiming that by the application of those laws the production of men nnd women of anr desired phy nlcal and mental laraln may bo controlled He not only sees Schenok Imt raises him out of sight The author thuw modestly states his aim It may seem like a bold proposition to tell a man Unit he may cause his children to be boVn with greater or loss intelligence as ho chooses but I believe thai those who read will see that this Is true If a few parents atc Induced lo Intelligently endow their chlldroh with better brains and better bodies Hum they would have done by time operation of mere chance then I shall feel amply repaid for whatever trouble 1 lies o taken to explain that which has been many times stated but which has bucn persistently misunderstood misun-derstood It Is unfortunate that whllo there are general statements and much arraying of disconnected and often irrelevant irrele-vant instances the Bpoclllc points which one would nalurnlly seek lifter that bravo enunciation of claims arc elusive One may gather hints along and nom negations nega-tions as of the undcslrablllty of procreation procrea-tion by aged persons and the awful nr ray of crime heredity detailed In aetna families Yet for the moral and the normally nor-mally healthy there appears In fact but lithe In this book It Is heralded as tho most Important work of Lisa century but for lie average man It has no direct message mes-sage it Is too much on the general style of O S Fowlers dicndful
