RYqUR "Ii /E S ICOMMENT on BOOKS 'and AUTHORS: .Oceanography CAPTAIN WILLIAM DAMPIER, BUCCANEER-AUTHOR. By Wii-. lard Haiiam Bonner. William Dampier originaiiy went out to Jamaica in 1674. He' was a log- wood cutter in the Bay of Campeacliy, then for years a foremast band among buccaneers of the Spanisb Main, and finally rose to command in the Royal Navy and fame as an explorer. Pro- fessionai as were bis buccaneering activities, pieçes of eight were less important to him than tbe infinite new facts of naturai bistory and ocean- ograpby whicb be carefully noted in bis journais tbroughout tbe years of his roving life along the coasts of New Spain and ini the southern oceans.. Wlen D~ampier returned to Engiand in 1691 be was poor only in pocket, and the publication in 1697 of bis "New Voage Round the Worid" made bim more famous than if lie had taken the Manila Gaileon. Partly as a resuit of bi popularity, the reign of Anne saw the launching of a great flotiiia of other travel narratives, botb reai and imaginative. It is with this striking literary influence of Dampier that Mr. Bonner is concerned. He marsbais evidence to estabiisb the navigator's signai importance in the development of eighteenth century voyage litera- turc. Very effectiveiy he demonstrates that botb Defoe and Swift knew Dam- pier's books well and drew beavily upon them for their greatest works. Gulliver and Crusoe are fictional cou- sins of Captain Dampier. Mr. Bonner makes tbese points by dint of much tec.bnicai drudgery and iteration of minutiae, but bis in- quiry leaves no doubt of the modest buccaneer's prominence as one of the great sea fathers of Englisb literature. And Mr. Bonner is fortunate, since he must quote 50 many paraiiei pas- sa>es, that bis subject is Dampier, one paragraph of whose writings is8 enough to transport the reader to ther left on Juan Fernandez by the Cinquen Ports gallery, and Terra Australis1 great era of cruisings and.explorationsb wbcn the Moluccas were the Spice i Islands, when Alexander Selkirk was Incognita was veiied in orient mist.

By Max Miller. The casual essay bas fallen into a sad neglect since -Samuel Crothers died and Simeon Strunsky ceased to write it, and since the world-Plas and alack - became so confused and troubied a place as to put arm chair philosophy out of fashion. It is gbod to sc it reappearing in this book of Mr. Miller's, a collection of brief sketche 's strung together on the pliant chain of bis fancy and bound into, a whole by the ruminative quality of bis mind. They are the merest snippets in lengtb-anything serves Mr. Miller as excuse for reflection, a conversa- tion with a passerby, the mailinan ap- proacbing on bis rounds, the summer visitor descending on the beacli, an attic, the funeral of a neighbor. He has the journalist's appreciation for the picturesque or the unusual, the essayist's sympathetic interest ini the commonplaces and trivialities of ex- istence, and a ready responsiveness to ail sorts and conditions of men. His vignettes are for the most part con- 'versation pieces with the phiiosophiz- ing implicit ini theni rather than, ex- pressed. Their style is of the simplest, yet it is not oniy forthright but graceful. .Mr. Millcr's writing is the art wvhich conceals art and aIl tbe more pleasing for that. To an engaging manner he adds a bumanity that is friendiy and warming. He has become the married mxan and the householder in this book, i>ut lie remains the sanie excellent re- porter.

The writer of this extraordinarily fresb and' interesting book is a Swede, about.tbirty, looking back to days at. sea which be began as a cabin-boy just after the close of the World war. Martinsson was the son of a sea-captain and hç ,followcd-the sea for haîf a dozen years or so, fnost of. tbe ime as a stoker. He sboveiled bis way to Brazil and "B.A.," to English coast towns with cargoes of iron ore, to.America,. and to India. And the tbings be saw and felt-in the stoke-hold, on deck for a bit. of air wben off duty, on shore-leave witb the other forecastie bands-are set down bere, as they were seen and feit at the time, by a youngster who1 could do bis trick witb tbe rest and yet aiready must have been some- tbing of a poet. Those College Days SONS 0F EPHRALM AND THE SPIRIT 0OF WILLIAMS COL- LEGE. By MacGregor Jenkins. Tbere shouid be many persons . who will delight ini this warm and affec- tionate-history of Williams Coilege, and they should include'not oniv a.-um- ni but also. men wlio never saw its portais but who attended a small coi- lege and have a deep feeling for what it rneans. Wild as it may sound, they sbould include even men who went to Amherst, the immortal rival of the Berkshire College, for there is- a simiiarity of tradition,' custonm, and spirit of ýlîe two institutions which is truly remarkable. It is niot rernarkable, of course, after tbe reader discovers that one of the early presidents of Williams seceded with a group of about twenty students and moved a littie eastward and south- ward to found below the Peihani His tbe coitege caiied Amherst. Amherst men can neyer blanie him for this secussion. They can easily understand the motive and approve tbe action. .But Mr. Jenkins, who is so much more than wliat is usually meant by a loyal alumnus, bas not onily paid a devoted tribute to bis Aima Mater; bias not oniy reveaied the riches of itsorigin and the cumulative weaith of its progress-but he bas done what is extremely rare in.a college bistory. He bas reveaied the Williams of to- day. By writi.ng the story around a boy named.Ferguson and taking bim- tbrougb the four academic years, he bas been able to show bow the spirit of Williams bas survived, wbat awaits the matrictiiated student, and what it rnay become under the historian, Tyler Dennett, its new president. From time to time the author re- calIs bis own undergraduate days, wbicb is a throwback of several gen- erations. From time to time be re- coutits the very, earliest bistory of the college. By jumping across the years ini this way he bas been able to Iraw a pene trating picture and to give real substance to the subtitle of lhe book. The book is neyer duil. The author's affection continually vibrates bhrough ail its pages. It is a wise and -ritical book written witb great charm, Lnd the least a Williams mani shouid do is buy it.
