It is a happy accident that Dana’s name follows that of Cupples. Fifty years ago in “The Green Hand” and “Two Years Before the Mast” England and America held command of the sea in fiction. This is an appropriate place to mention three books by the American writer, Herman Melville (1819-91), “Omoo,” “Typee” and “Moby Dick,” which are big enough to sail in the fleet with Cupples and Dana. Sea craft are growing larger every year but not sea books, though Mr. Joseph Conrad, Mr. Rudyard Kipling, Mr. Frank Bullen and Mr. Clark Russell are taking us on good voyages under sail and steam. ALPHONSE DAUDET (1840-97). _Le Petit Chose._ _Jack._ _Tartarin of Tarascon._ _Contes Choisis._ Among the easiest of French writers to read in the original. Several of his books have been published in English. RICHARD HARDING DAVIS. _Gallegher._ _Van Bibber and Others._ Fresh and charming short stories by a writer who has not fulfilled the promise of his youth. EDMONDO DE AMICIS. _Heart; A School Boy’s Journal._ A fine story of schoolboy life, to be found in English translation. DANIEL DEFOE (166?-1731). _Robinson Crusoe._ WILLIAM DE MORGAN. _Joseph Vance._ _Alice-for-Short._ _Somehow Good._ CHARLES DICKENS (1812-70). No list of titles is necessary under the name of Dickens. There are innumerable editions of his works. BENJAMIN DISRAELI (Lord Beaconsfield, 1804-81). VIVIAN GREY. CONINGSBY. LOTHAIR. SYBIL. CHARLES LUTWIDGE DODGSON (“Lewis Carroll”). _Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland._ _Through the Looking Glass._ _Silvie and Bruno._ And we could not be happy without “The Hunting of the Snark” and other verses in Lewis Carroll’s “Rhyme and Reason.” ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE. _Adventures of Sherlock Holmes._ _Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes._ _Micah Clark._ _The White Company._ The fame of the Sherlock Holmes stories has thrown somewhat into the background the best of Sir Conan Doyle’s work, the two historical romances. ALEXANDRE DUMAS, Père (1803-70). No list of titles is necessary under Dumas’s name. For though he and his “syndicate” of assistants produced a great number of mediocre works, those most frequently met in English are good, “The Three Musketeers,” “The Count of Monte Cristo,” “The Queen’s Necklace” and “Twenty Years After.” GEORGE DU MAURIER (1831-96). _Peter Ibbetson._ _Trilby._ EDWARD EGGLESTON. _The Hoosier Schoolmaster._ _The Hoosier Schoolboy._ GEORGE ELIOT (Mary Ann Evans, 1819-80). No titles are necessary under George Eliot’s name. Several of her novels are in _Everyman’s Library_, and there are other inexpensive editions. ERCKMANN-CHATRIAN (Emile Erckmann and Louis Alexandre Chatrian). _Friend Fritz._ _The Blockade of Phalsburg._ _Madame Thérèse._ _The Story of a Conscript._ _Waterloo._ The two last named are in _Everyman’s Library_. ANATOLE FRANCE (Thibault). _Le Crime de Sylvestre Bonnard._ _From a Mother of Pearl Casket._
