WOODSMEN OF THE WEST. 
By M. ALLERDALE GRAINGER. 
With Illustrations. Demy Svo. 7s. 6d. net. 
This is an extremely interesting personal narrative of ‘ logging ’ 
in British Columbia. ‘ Logging,’ as everyone knows, means felling 
and preparing for the saw-mill the giant timber in the forests that 
fringe the Pacific coast of Canada, and it is probably true that 
no more strenuous work is done on the face of the earth. Mr. 
Grainger, who is a Cambridge Wrangler, has preferred this manual 
work to the usual mental occupations of the mathematician, and 
gives us a vivid and graphic account of an adventurous life. 
ARVAT. 
By LEOPOLD H. MYERS. 
21 Crania. 
Crown Svo. 4s. 6d. net. 
The author of this play is a son of the late Frederick Myers, the 
well-known authority on 1 Psychical Research.’ It is a poetical 
drama in four acts, describing the rise and fall of the hero, Arvat. 
The time and place are universal, as are also the characters. But 
the latter, though universal, and therefore in a sense symbolic, are 
psychologically human, and the significance of the action, heightened 
as it may be by interpretation through the imagination, is neverthe¬ 
less independent of it. Thus Arvat’s career, while providing subject- 
matter for a drama among individuals in the flesh, may also be taken 
as the symbol of a drama among ideas in the spirit. 
PEEP-IN-THE-WORLD. 
21 Stor£ for Children. 
By Mrs. F. E. CRICHTON. 
Illustrated. Crown Svo. 3s. 6d. 
The author of this charming tale ought to take rank with such 
writers as Mrs. Molesworth in the category of childhood’s literature. 
The story tells of a little girl who visits her uncle in Germany and 
spends a year in an old castle on the borders of a forest. There she 
finds everything new and delightful. She makes friends with a dwarf 
cobbler, who lives alone in a hut in the forest, and knows the speech 
of animals and birds. Knut, the cobbler, is something of a hermit 
and a misanthrope, but he is conquered by Peep-in-the-World, whom 
he eventually admits to the League of Forest Friends. She wants 
him to teach her how to talk to the wild things of the woods, and 
though she has to leave Germany without learning the secret, she 
gains a growing sense of the magic power of sympathy and kindness.
