Harvard, as it was in the days when, first William, and then
Henry, James were undergraduates, is pictured and commented upon
by these two famous brothers--by William James through a series
of letters written at the time. The book carries forward the
early lives of William and Henry, which was begun in "A Small Boy
and Others," published a year ago. Among the distinguished men
pictured in its pages are John LaFarge, Hunt, Professor Norton,
Professor Childs, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, who was a close friend
of Henry James, Senior.
The American Japanese Problem
BY SIDNEY L. GULICK.
Illustrated. $1.75 net; postage extra.
The writer believes that "The Yellow Peril may be transformed
into golden advantage for us, even as the White Peril in the
Orient is bringing unexpected benefits to those lands." The
statement of this idea forms a part of a comprehensive and
authoritative discussion of the entire subject as set forth in
the title. The author has had a lifetime of intimacy with both
nations, and is trusted and consulted by the governments of each.
The Influence of the Bible upon Civilisation
BY ERNEST VON DOBSCHUTZ, Professor of the New Testament at
the University of Halle-Wittenberg, and now lecturing at
Harvard as exchange professor of the year
$1.25 net; postage extra.
This is an attempt to answer by the historical method the great
question of the day: "How can Christianity and civilisation
advance in harmony?" The writer simply follows the traces of the
Bible through the different periods of Christian history--a task
which, singularly enough, has hardly ever before even been
attempted, and never before successfully or even thoroughly done.
Hebrew and Babylonian Traditions
BY MORRIS JASTROW, JR., PH.D. Professor of Semitic
Languages in the University of Pennsylvania
8vo $2.50 net; postage extra.
An important and extraordinarily interesting study of the
relationship between the Hebrews and the Babylonians, devoted
primarily to pointing out the differences between Babylonian
myths, beliefs, and practices, and the final form assumed by
corresponding Hebrew traditions, despite the fact that both are
to be traced back to the same source.
New Guides to Old Masters
BY JOHN C. VAN DYKE
Professor of the History of Art at Rutgers College and
author of "The Meaning of Pictures," "What is Art?" etc.
12 Volumes Each with frontispiece
A series of art guides, whose little volumes, unique in
conception and execution, should be as natural and essential a
part of every man's traveling equipment as the Baedeker
guide-books are now.
Public-domain text, read in full here on John Shaqi.
