Show SOME NEW ELDER LITERATURE. jp "The Call of the City" is the title of a volume of graceful essays by Charles Mulford Robinson, soon to be published by Paul Elder & Company. So milch has been written about "the call of the open" that it is high time for some one to take Lr up the cudgels for the disparaged town. Mr. rp Robinson, the author of "Modern Civic Art" and "The Improvement of Towns and Cities," Is a recognized authority on civic improvement. Paul Elder & Company announce for early publication "Quatrains of Christ," by George Creel, with an introduction by Julian Hawthorne. Mr. Creel's faith is the simple, unquestioning creed of the early Christians, and his Rubaiyat tells the story of the soul's belief in Christ, and describes a vision of the Christ-ideal as it may be lived in this very present world. Mr. Creel is a newspaper man of Kansas City, and active in the politics of his State. Lr Prof. Robert William Wood, of Johns Hop- g, kins University, has not been called to the White House to explain in the presence of John Burroughs, Bur-roughs, Ernest Thompson Seton, and William Long his infallible method of distinguishing birds from flowers. He has been too busy with a still more important work on what might be termed, biological discrimination. Announcement is now r-made r-made that the result of his labors is to be published pub-lished in the near future by Paul Elder & Com- pany, under the title of "Animal Analogues." By the aid of this manual, observers will be able to tell an antelope from a cantaloupe, a pipe-fish from a sea-gar, or an ant from a pheasant. The treatise is to be illustrated by the author's absolutely abso-lutely free-hand drawings. |
