The piece reflects on an elderly author who wrote amid stillness and a quiet home. After Miss Mary's death the house declined into decay. The Jitné book honors her memory and serves as pleasant holiday reading, needing illustrations to enhance its appeal.
A short contemporary critique reviews Poems by a Banker, a volume of sentimental and personal verse from the Atlantic Trust Company's president. It praises melody and earnest sentiment, notes Christmas themes, and singles out The Man with the Hoe as perhaps the strongest piece, with lines reflecting labor, charity, and faith.
A critical survey of Zangwill's The Mantle of Elijah notes clever writing and abundant wit but finds the book too contrived and its characters insufficiently lifelike. The essay highlights uneven pacing, occasional passages of interest, and lingering questions about the story’s cohesion and conclusion.
A fragmentary review discusses a forthcoming stage adaptation of a novel featuring Allegra and Broser. The reviewer notes strong character work from Lroser and the Duchess and J. Marshmont, while judging the book as promising but not fully achieved.
The critic praises Nicholson for portraits of real and imagined characters, noting precise truth in real subjects like Mr Bryan and Mr Croker while finding his fiction portraits more shadowed and less eloquent. Readers may identify Miss Havisham, Sophia Western, Porthos, and Quixote, among others, in vivid if varied execution.
A review outlines the 1900 novel Lady Hancock and its depiction of Paul Revere’s alarm, Hancock Adams and events from Concord to Monmouth. It notes the marriage changes of Hancock and the heroics of Scott in Mediterranean battles, with a catalog of romantic literary characters.
The description paints colonial Boston life with the Mall as a social hub for tea gossip and strolls by shade trees over a mile long. It notes that theatrical amusements gained favor after the Revolution and wealthier families kept private carriages while Mrs Scott rode to church in state and enforced punctual religious service.
Short Essays on American Life surveys calmness, self reliance, and found wisdom in failure as a form of success. Quoted from Mr. Jordan and reprinted from The Saturday Evening Telegraph of Philadelphia, the volume offers brisk and meditative reading suitable as a giftbook with literary value.
Minister Wu praises Jeas Taylor Headland for collecting and translating Chinese rhymes into Snglish. The book pairs Chinese and English texts with photographic illustrations, highlighting that Chinese children share similar thoughts and tastes with American children.
Prof Headland presents a complete view of Chinese childlife and its songs to show simple, tender truths. The work aims to instill nature, love for simplicity, and the true and good, with no rupture between cause and effect as in Western tales.
