BOOK NOTES 
New Volumes Added to Manchester Public Library 
Those who have read that very in- 
teresting little book  ‘‘ American 
Shrines in England,’’ by Alfred T. 
Storey, will be glad to know that 
another work on the same subject, buat 
treating it in a much more extensive 
manner, has just been added to the 
Town library. ‘‘The American  Pil- 
grim’s Way in England’’ is a _ beauti- 
fully illustrated work. Of the one 
hundred and twenty illustrations in 
the book, some forty are in color. This 
work describes the homes, and tells of 
the early environment of many of the 
founders of our nation. By means of 
the illustrations, and the descriptive 
text, much information is conveyed to 
the reader in a very attractive form. 
‘“Christmas’’ by Zona Gale, author 
of ‘‘Friendship Village,’’? makes very 
appropriate reading for this season of 
the year. A little town out West, on 
account of its poverty, decided not to 
have any Christmas celebration. They 
called a Town meeting and so voted. 
As Christmas drew near, however, the 
spirit of the time made itself felt and 
many regretted the step they had 
taken. The arrival on Christmas eve 
of an orphan boy from another town 
so appealed to their sympathy that they 
decided to keep Christmas in the good 
old way. The story is a very pretty 
one, and is well worth reading. 
‘The Just Alike Twins’’ by Lazelle 
T. Wolley is a very good children’s 
story. The description of Millicent and 
Marjorie, two little orphans, their joys 
and their sorrows, how they were lost 
and found, parted and at last got the 
same mother, is very prettily told. 
A novel by H. V. Lucas, author of 
‘a Wanderer in Florence,’’ ‘‘A Life 
of Charles Lamb,’’ and many other 
works—has just been added to the li- 
brary. The man who tells the story 
in ‘‘London Lavender’’ is a middle- 
aged man who has started out on a 
walking tour. On one of these tours 
he comes across a very attractive inn. 
Instead of going back to London to 
spend the night as usual, he decides to 
spend it at this hostelry. He does not 
get back to London for several years. 
How he came to go back and what he 
did all those years make the story of 
‘*London lLavender.’’ A number of 
the characters made familiar to us by 
his ‘‘Over Bemertons’’ appear again 
in this his latest novel. 
We are glad to have another novel 
by Victor L. Whitechurch, author of 
those charming stories of middle-class 
English life—‘‘The Canon in Resi- 
dence,’’ ‘‘Concerning Himself,’’ and 
‘*Off the Main Road.’’ This story has 
to do with the new rector, sent by the 
Bishop to take up the duties of the 
Vicar while away. ‘‘Left in Charge’’ 
makes very pleasant reading and is a 
worthy successor to the ‘‘Canon in 
Residence. ’’ 
Kathleen Norris author of that 
sweet little story called ‘‘Mother’’ his 
written a novel, ‘‘The Rich Mrs. Bur- 
goyne.’’ The scene of the story is a 
small town in California. The coming 
of Sidney Burgoyne with two children 
to the town has a very beneficial in- 
fluence on its social life. The same 
philosophy of life and motherhood that 
rang so true in ‘‘Mother’’ may be 
found in this novel. It is perhaps too 
much to hope that everything would 
turn out in real life as it does in ‘‘The 
Rich Mrs. Burgoyne,’’ but the reading 
of this story may help us to take saner 
views of life. 
Mrs. . Carroll Watson Rankin has 
written a number of books for girls 
known as the ‘‘ Dandelion Series.’’ She 
is a Western woman and has been a 
writer for the Youth’s Companion, St. 
Nickolas, The Bookman, and other ma- 
gazines for a number of years. Two 
more of the series ‘‘The Adopting of 
Rose Marie’’ and ‘‘The Girls of Gar- 
denville’’ have been added to the li- 
brary. Most every girl who reads 
stories has heard of ‘‘The Little Col- 
onel’’ books by Annie Fellows John- 
ston. She also lives in the West, her 
home being in Texas. The ‘‘Little 
Colonel’’ series at the library is now 
complete to date as among the new 
books this week will be found ‘‘ Mary 
Ware’s Promised Land’’ the last of 
the series. 
Mary Johnston, author of ‘‘The Long 
Roll,’? a story about the Civil War, 
has written another novel on the same 
subject, ‘‘Cease Firing.’’ She pictures 
very vividly the battles of Chicka- 
mauga, Kennesaw Mountain, Mission- 
ary Ridge, The Wilderness, and Gettys- 
burg. She writes from the standpoint 
of the South. After reading ‘‘The 
Long Roll’’ and ‘‘Cease Firing’’ most 
anyone would agree with the state- 
ment of General Sherman that ‘‘war 
is hell.’’ 
Charles Farrar Browne—known to 
the American public of a generation 
ago as ‘‘Artemas Ward’’— was an 
American humorist. He was very pop- 
ular in his day. Present day readers 
know very little about his stories, so 
Clifton Johnson in ‘‘Artemus Ward’s 
Best Stories’’ has done a distinct ser- 
vice to American literature in making 
this collection. The book has an in- 
troduction by Wm. Dean Howels. There 
are a great many good stories in this 
book. Those interested in Woman’s 
Suffrage should read ‘‘Woman’s 
Rights.’’ His letter to his wife from 
Boston is very amusing. In his well 
known definition of Harvard College 
may be found—‘This celebrated insti- 
tooshun of learnin’ is pleasantly situa- 
ted in the Bar-room of Parker’s, in 
Skool Street, and has poopils from all 
over the country.’’ 
We are glad to have another novel 
from the pen of Joseph OC. Lincoln. 
This last story, ‘‘The Rise of Roscoe 
Paine’’ has to do with the struggle 
between a New York millionaire and 
some prominent citizens of Denboro on 
Cape Cod. It is one of his best, be- 
ing full of the humor and homely phil- 
osophy of his Cape Cod characters. 
.he Story of the Renaissance’’ by 
William Henry Hudson is a volume of 
some two hundred and sixty pages.It 
is probably the best short work on the 
Renaissance that is to be found in 
English today. An immense amount of 
information is to be found in this book 
and is given to the reader in a very 
charming manner. A complete list of 
the works put into the library is given 
below. Ke TG:
