Methuen & Co., London and Toronto. In eight chapters and 170 pages, Mr. Herbert discusses this problem or topic which might well necessi- tate a whole series of books to do it justice. The first chapter deals with the probability of giving a definition to the term "nationality." The au- thor defines it as " a manifestation of that consciousness of kind in which all forms of social organiza- tion have their origin." From that standpoint he discusses the nature of nationality and continues so until the end of the second chapter, giv- ing some very interesting views and comments of famous literary men of the world. Developing his topic, he analyses nation-making forces, tdking great pains to distinguish clearly between the nation and the state. To make his idea lucid in this regard he quotes the famous words of Fletcher of Saltoun, "Let me make the peo- ple's songs and I care not who makes their laws." In other words, the law is but a clumsy embodiment of the popular will, while a great liter- ary work is something larger and deeper, something which breathes the personality of the people. Literary tradition works an important part in the formation of national tradition as the study of English literature shows at a glance. Chaucer gives out the idea of jovial good humor, while Langland, in "Piers the Plowman," shows more of the serious, steadfast morals of the people. Thus he pro- ceeds to prove that nationality is not the government nor the laws of the people, but rather the tastes ' and characteristics which set them apart from other people.

Buck General Merchant, SYDENHAM, ONTARIO. shows in the remaining chapters how | the idea of nationality has grown, its | effect on politics, domestic and for- | eign, its effect on the Great Society or the Brotherhood of Man, and the future before it. His idea for the future of Nationality is that it be kept out of politics where it is abused and made a cause of trouble. He sug- gests that it be preserved in the schools and in the press, in art and in literature, as in these places it will be fortified and made more rich in splendor and content. The object of the book is to exam- ine and go thoroughly into the origin and the nature of nationality, to study its influence as a potent factor in the affairs of the world, to analyze its influence as a political force and to discuss its probable future in the light of modern social developments. The author uses some personal ex- periences to {illustrate his points which make the book very readable. THE STATE DEBT AND THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. Anonymous. Methuen & Co., London and Toronto. Without any name signed under the tile comes this daring though not entirely original outline of a scheme to get Great Britain out of debt. We say that it is not entirely original, because it contains embodied in its main plan many of the suggestions which have been prevalent for some time in regard to this matter. This buok adds to them, makes them more daring and gives them definite shape. The central idea is that a "forced loan" be placed on each citizen as the first security that he may hold. In other words, anyone who may have money to invest must take his quota of this loan before any ether invest- ment ic made. The rate of interest i8 set very low in order to facilitate the speedy paying off of the national | debt. That is the plan, and the un- known author discusses its feasibil- ity as compared with other plans, the objections to it, the points in fits NIBBLES FROM There is nothing certain about war except that one side won't win. .- . The winner is agked no questions ~--the loser has no answer for every- thing. With K. (Kitchener) as Ambas- sador at Constantinople, he would 'have prevented Turkey coming into the war. There is no doubt of it. Neither Enver Pasha nor Talaat would have dared to enrage K., and as for the idea of deporting him, it is grotesque. They might have shot him fin the back; they could «ever have faced him with a war of declaration in their hands. * &® & My Staff still bear the bewildered look of men who have hurriedly been snatched from desks to do some ex- traordinary turn of some unheard-of theatre.

Probably no known writer has achieved so much in such a short time as Alexandre Dumas, the elder. This wise old rogue has written en- ough books to fill the shelves of an ordinary library. During his event- ful life he had no fewer than ninety- nine collaborators, so that one hard- ly knows how much of the work which bears his name he should be given credit for. It is safe to say that most of the color and original- ity 'was given to these joint works by Dumas, however, because when writ- ing alone the majority of his co- workers made very poor attempts. Dumas was born in the year 1803. His grandfather was a French mar- Guis and his grandmother a full- blooded Haytian negress. Dumas showed his nubian blood both in ap- pearance and in the child-like con- ceit which was one of his outstanding characteristics, His own father was one of the famous generals of Na- poleon the First. His mother was the daughter of an inn-keeper. He began his literary career as a dramatist, and one of his plays was successfully produced in Paris when he was twenty-six. He himself was the originator of the much-quoted as- sertion that all he needed for the making of a play was 'four trestles, four boards, two actors and a pas- sion." He soon deserted the theatre, however, for the splendidly spirited historical novels which have made him famous the world over. In one year he wrote his two great master- pieces, "Monte Cristo," and "The Three Musketeers." Although many parts of his writings one may pick out the evidence of the low and sordid passion of the quadroon, yet this is made up for many times by his command of delicious and cut- ting French humour. Dumas is said to have lived every second of his life. He was once exil- ed to Belgium for some time. fought with Garibaldi in Italy, made fortunes in an hour and threw them away in half that time. When in 1870 he left Paris for the last time and repaired to the residence of his son to die, he had exactly two louis in his pocket, his whole fortune. During the course of the last cent- increasing steadily in popularity. An England showed that he was by far the most read author of the last century.

THE RIDEAU LAKES A Very Valuable Booklet By Pr. E. J. Lake. There has just been printed by the press of the Kingston Whig for Dr. E. J. Lake, of Kingston, who is the author and publisher, a unique book- let entitled, "Chart of the Rideau Lakes Route," between Kingston and Ottawa, for motor boat owners, can- ceists and tourists, The first and se- cogA editions of the work, printed by the British Whig in the spring of 1907 and 1911 having been greatly appreciated and highly commended by many, who because of it had en- joyed the delights of this entrancing waterway, the doctor was encourag- ed to prepare a third edition. The same general plan has been followed as in the other editions, yet improve- ments may be noticed everywhere, and the information and directions are much more full. The first part of the work is devoted to general in- formation, some interesting history of this waterway, general directions and a section devoted to the equip- ment necessary for the trip. The government requirements as to sig- nal lights to be carried are given in full. The locks are described and di- rections given the novice for locking | through. There is a general explana- | tion of the maps and how to hold | them when sailing by them. The | buoys of various shapes together | with the other aids to navigation a- {long the route are carefully describ- ed. There is also a table showing the location of the locks, their number |and lift; and a miniature map of the whole route shows the relation and | succession of the various lakes and | rivers for general references, Follow- ing this, the route is taken up in de- tail, a section of a few miles at a time being mapped out, to give suf- | ficiently large outline sd that each { point and island close to the c%annel | may be recognized when reached, and { the boat channel contidently follow- | ed. The sailing tourist is not left to follow the may only, however, for right opposite to it (without turn- ing a leaf) are minute sailing direc- tions and descriptive notes for that particular part of the way. On each of these maps there are illustrations of the alds to maviga- tion on that part of the route so that {one may know exactly what to look for. The canoe portages are shown on each map in an enlarged section if necessary. There is an elaborate table of distance so arrangyd that one may instantly find the distance from any one place or locking to any other place; and if the distance to any intervening spot or camping place is desired, the mile scale on {each map will enable one to estimate that also correctly, These distances, we understand, were carefully meas- ured by the doctor himself; and the intervals between nts, islands, buoys, etc., engtiwho. of the route no doubt will be found very accurate to the scale. On each of these maps north and south is izdicated so that \ With the exact detail given the entire | stranger should not have the slight- | est difficulty in following the way | indicated. Besides the Rideau Lakes route, the beautiful canoe route between Morton, on the Rideau, and Ganan- oque, on the St. Lawrence, is shown |and described, thus making the book of great value to down-river canoe- ists going up the Rideau Lakes. There is also a map of the north | channel between Kingston and Gan- anoque made to scale and another map to indicate the way tetween | Kingston and Gananoque both sides [of Howe Island and also both ways | around Wolfe Island to Cape Vincent. On the various camping spots, for the camping tourists, springs and wells of 'water, dams, bridges and lighthouses, are indicated, while the descriptive notes tell where the vari- ous supplies needed may be obtained. Very exact detail is given and stud- ied brevity is mainfested, no doubt to avoid bulk and make it a safe and handy pocket guide to this delightful route. There are no folding maps to get torn, nothing larger than the A large number of beautiful half tones are scattered through the book, adding to its value and illustrating the different experiences and scenes of a Rideau trip. The book is cer- should prove of very great value to motor boat owners, canoe enthus- | lasts and tourists travelling over the | route by steamer, making it possible {for such to enjoy to the full one of | the most beautiful water ways in the world.

Voices in the Modern World "Labor's Challenge to the Social Order." At no time in the history of the world has there been greater interest in labor problems than at the present day. e adjustment of r to the social and economic conditions of the twentieth century is perhaps the most vital problem of the age, and it is this question that John Graham Brooks takes up in his new volume, Labor's Challenge to the Social Order. The book is based on notes taken during a period of nearly forty years and consequently has a background and perspective which renders it par- ticularly valuable to the student of social and political questions. The author traces the growth of construct- ive forces and ideals within the vari- ous labor groups and points the way to a better and more universal spirit of co-operation between r and capital and the public at large. r. Brooks shows how the real strength within these various labor groups may be directed to social con- servation. Not the least of the reme- dies for industrial unrest is the de- velopment of the co-operative idea. In this connection the author refers to the work of Albert Grey, who de- voted much of his time and energy to the practical development of co-on- erative plans. Years later, as presie dent of the co-operative congress, he spoke with deeper confidence of co-operation as a world movement, carrying with it the sures: hope of industrial fellowship which man had yet achieved. Just before his death it was in this spirit that he sent out his final message: "You know the idea of those words --he being dead yet speaketh? A voice from the dead often gets a hear- ing. That's what I'm after. I want you to make my voice sound from the grave. I want to say to the people there is a real way out of this mess materialism has get us into. I've been Yyeg to tell them for thirty years. It's Christ's way. Maszzini saw it. We've got to give up quarreling. We've got to come together. We've got to realize we're all members of one family. There's nothing can help humanity--I'm perfectly sure there isn't--perfectly sure--except love. Love's the way out and the way up. That's my farewell to the world." . The above quotation gives an idea of the sympathetic and constructive way in which the author deals with age. It is not too much to say that upon the solution of all these all im- portant questions rests the peace and prosperity of future ages. dlp "A Straight Deal" In England It is interesting to see England's A ----------r ra only uine As ,--the prescri teen years and now Always Bay. an unbrokem of "Bayer Tablets of Aspiriad which manufacture, to assist the public against 'will be stamped with thelr general trade reaction to Owen Wister's latest A Straight Deal, or, the Ancient Grudge. The volume is being made the subject of extended reviews in English papers, always an indication of the subjects of popular discussion. The London Graphic devotes an en- tire page, for example, to a consider- ation of the volume, commending it highly. "Before the war was very old," the Graphic lains, "Mr. Wister wrote a little volume, The Pentecost of Calamity, which did much to bring America into it. Then some 'while there comes along, as the plot of that visit, of earlier visits and of much to the Allies, Mr. Wister was here before the black curtain rang down seeing things with his own clear eyes, swift mind, and warm heart. Now reflection, another book which he who runs in England or America would be wise to read." The Graphic editor concludes his survey with words, "Why doesn't some President send Owen Wister to England as American ambassador?" Notes of Interest » to Booklovers.
