It deals with American history from 1831 to the present time and is epic in style. The central figure is Jack Kelso, a poet, wanderer and friend of Lincoln. Already we are getting news of the publishing lists for next fall to whet our appetites. The Viking Press leads off with the announcement of a third novel by Elizabeth Madox Roberts, an historical romance by Ford Madox Ford, a book of poetry by Sylvia Townsend Warner, and plays by Lion Feuchtwanger and Gerhart Haupt- mann. "MEAT" By Wilbur Daniel Steele Harper & Brothers "Meat," the new novel by Wilbur Daniel Steele, should most certainly have been called "Drink." That would have been less misleading. To be sure Mr. Steele took his title from the Biblical verse about meat making my brother to offend, which is quite ap- propriate when you know about it, but the title itself gives no idea of it nor clue to the book. And surely the whir of machinery and the shouts of men | from a vast stockyards which the title certainly conjures up could not be more effectually dispelled by an earth- quake than by the opening picture of New England. When the sound, then, has died away, we realize that this book is an argument against prohibition--not only in our strict American sense but in all senses--that is, prohibition laid down Books : 5 "Tottel's Miscellany" $7.50 and "The Paradise of Dainty Devices" $7.50 by Hyder E.

There could not have been a more normal healthy and happy family than the India family until Rex India was born into it. With one son and an adopted daughter, with culture and wealth, they felt certain that they knew the secret of living. But then Rex was born. A weakling, not quite mentally or normally responsible, he changes everything. Most of all he changes his mother whose fierce ma- ternal instinct is so aroused to protect him that she sacrifices everything to his welfare. "If it won't hurt him, let him have it. If it will keep it out of his way." It is on this dictum that they live. One of the first things to go is wine from the table. This becomes a sym- bol of the deprivations. The result is of course that the strong son is brought up to fear wine, and when he is thrown out into the world he likes it far too well, and the weak son, all the time that he is being deprived of it and told of its horrors, is stealing it from his father's cellar. This is only symbolic of the ruin that this policy brings. It is a cruel book, not at all pleasant reading, but it is well done and cer- tainly makes its point with clarity. "THE BONNEY FAMILY" By Ruth Suckow Alfred A. Knopf Ruth Suckow is a writer who re- produces actuality. At the very first paragraph of this latest book of hers, "The Bonney Family," we are in the backyard of the little Iowa parsonage with that family. We come to know each member of it with a calm matter of fact intimacy. This type of writer does not idealize her characters but Don't miss these!

Winn. 1101 Prof. Mabbott Edits 7 Newly Discovered John Milton Letters Seven letters written by John Milton to Herman Mylius, edited by Prof. Thomas Ollive Mabbott of Northwest- ern university, will be published for the first time this summer by the Col- umbia University press. These letters are edited from the originals in the archives of the State of Oldenburg. The transcripts were made from photographs of the Latin originals, the photographs sent Prof. Mabbott by the archivist of the State of Oldenburg, H. Goent, who located the letters. With one exception the letters have never before been col- lected, five have never appeared be- fore in book form, and four have never been printed. Herman Mylius, to whom the letters were written, was agent of the Count of Oldenburg in London. He was en- gaged in obtaining for his master a safeguard from the English Parlia- ment, and in the course of having this properly worded and translated into Latin, he had some correspondence with the Secretary of Foreign Tongues, Mr. Milton. He took home with him to Oldenburg all the letters Milton had sent him and placed them in the ar- chives there. They were discovered by Prof. Mabbott in his search for the originals of certain letters of state which he believed might be there and which he sought to consult for textual notes for the Columbia University edi- tion of Milton. This discovery was made last year. The letters are dated 1651 and 1652, and, written as they 'were when Milton was nearly blind, are not in his auto- graph except in one brief correction. The importance of the discovery lies in the fact that texts of only about 40 of Milton's letters have survived, and that there are in Oldenburg more original letters of the poet than were hitherto known to exist. Prof. Mabbott, one of the younger professors on the staff of Northwestern university, left the local school's English staff with the close of this year and will become a member of the faculty of Brown university with its autumn reopening. He is an outstand- ing authority on Poe and has edited several significant discoveries of that writer's previously unpublished works, has edited a book on Edward Pinkney, a southern lyric poet, and a beautiful edition of short stories by Walt Whit- man, previously unpublished. presents them with the dispassionate- ness with which we see people in life. It is often thought that such a writer will disparage; Miss Suckow is free from that. The chief danger in this method for the reader, is that he will be bored. Without the illumination of the au- thor's point of view, giving him more than he could see if he were there himself, he is likely to think at about page twenty-six, "Well, what of the Bonney family?" But if he pushes on these characters become more than acquaintances; they are old friends in whose life stories it is easy to be interested. The Shadow From The Bogue "Police headquarters?
