Literature, Modern -- 20th century -- Periodicals
A novel which in a very clever way not only concerns itself with
the doings of a group of people who are part of Boston society,
but which delineates and holds up for the inspection of all
Boston society. What is Boston society; what kind of people is it
composed of; what are its characteristics; what does it amount to
in this busy age?

The Youngest World
By ROBERT DUNN
Dr. Frederic Taber Cooper, the well-known reviewer for _The
Bookman_, who read the advance sheets of Mr. Dunn's remarkable
story of Alaska, "The Youngest World," says: "Plenty of authors
have given us the physical suffering of the far north: the
dropping away of the outer veneer of civilized man and the
reappearance of the human animal, the brutishness and degradation
brought about by cold and darkness and hunger. Mr. Dunn's book
stands in a different class: there is no mistaking its absolute
first-hand reflection of life--the life of strange, motley hordes
of drifting outcasts and adventurers. But unlike the Jack London
school, he never forgets that man is a little lower than the
angels, as well as a little higher than the beasts; he never
loses sight of the innate greatness of humanity, the greater
spiritual as well as physical heights to which he may aspire....
The book is good, big, significant, coming as it does in a season
when the absolute dearth of vital fiction is painfully apparent."

The Only Book in Its Particular Field
The Book of the Epic
By H. A. GUERBER
_With 16 Illustrations. 12mo. Cloth, $2.00 net. Postpaid,

"'The Book of the Epic' is a notable contribution to the history
of racial poetry."--_Philadelphia Inquirer._
"A valuable book which it is a pleasure to recommend. The stories
of the most famous epics of all the nations are told briefly and
illustrated by reproductions from the masters of painting. It is,
in fact, the first book published which contains all the great
epics in scenario. This is a book to own, for it is a rich source
of knowledge which many readings will not exhaust."--_Pittsburgh
Post._
