GREAT BOOK BY JOHN ADAMS' GREAT-GRANDSON THE AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF HENRY ADAMS AT ALL BOOKSTORES B. LIPPINCOTT COMPANY i I W. H. HUDSON'S Marvelous Unique Autobiography ' Far Away and Long Ago By the Author of "The Purple Land," "Idle Days in Patagonia," etc., etc. With portraits. $2.50. "Mr. Hudson has not depended on his vivid external life for tho main interest of this book. He has told us simply'and sincerely tho story of a soul as well as the tale of a boy's adventures on the Argen tine pampas. His book is of extraordinary interest psychologically as well as from the point of view of the lover of outdoor life. Mr. Hudson's earliest recollections are of those Immense South American pampas, of a house shaded by tall 'ombu' trees, of gauchos and horses and cattle. To his father's ranch came the strangest vis itors, Spaniards, wandering Englishmen. Perhaps the most valuable chapter in Mr. Hudson's present book is that entitled 'A Boy's Animism.' Animism, of course, is the sense of something supernatural, something alive, in nature. The author is a poet and a scientist and a psychologist. From whatever viewpoint he may be speaking he is equally sincere. And so, both as a record of a wild land, as a sidelight on such characters as Rosas, the dic tator, and as a story of a man's inner life and religious struggle, this biography possesses the definitive value which only the biog raphies of a few men have possessed, and then only by reason of an utter sincerity." LLEWELLYN JONES in The Chicago Eve ning Post. F. P. DUTT0N & CO., 681 Fifth Ave., New York The Discriminating Would Rather Have Written It Than Have Been President America han produced no moro re nmrkablo family than that founded by John Adams, who succeeded Washington In the presidency, John Qulncy, the son of John, nlso occupied tho oxeeutlxc mansion In Washington. Charles Francis, the son of John Qulncy, served ns minister to Hngland during nnd after tho Civil Wnr nnd made a reputation as a diplomatist seoond to none In the history of tho country, Tha aons of Charles Francis have nil been distin guished for originality and brilliance of Intellect. They linvo not sought political ofllce, nnd they could not have obtained It If they had sought It, for they lacked the nblllty to win popular support. When tho autobiography of Charles Francis Adams, Jr., was published last jenr, after hla death, It was welcomed as one of the most romarknblo books of the season, nnd unique among autobiog raphies fvr Its calm dissection and anal-. ysls of the writer's character and at tainments. Henry Adams, tho brother of Charles Francis, Jr., wrote an auto biography which ho had privately printed before his death. Only n few person were privileged to sao It, be cnuse tho edition was limited. The book has been published this season and can now be obtained by any one who has tho price Every educated man or woman who can raise the money ought to own It, for It Is one of the greatest books that has appeared In n genera tion. Many a discriminating man after rending It will remark that ho would rather have written It than have been President. nut there aro more persons familiar with the name of Connie Mack than with that of Henry Adams, nnd mnny others who know that Henry was the grandson of ono Tresldent and the great grandson of nnother know little more about him. They will bo Interested to learn that he was born In 1838, was graduated from Harvard College In 1S5S, spent n year In Europe, and when he returned to America was taken back to London by his father to serve as his secretary In the American embassy. He remained In London until 1868, when he returned home nnd spent a season as n Washington correspodent for tho Nation and one or two other papera ; became nn assistant professor of history nt Har vard In 1871 nnd editor of the Xorth American Review, holding these two po. sltlons for six or seven years, nnd then resigning to devote himself tij his own devices. He published n hook on Anglo Saxon courts of law He wrote n nine- volume history of the United States, cov ering tho period from 1801 to 1817, In which he has produced a careful study of Jefferson and Mndlson. He wrote a life of Albert Oollntln and edited his works, nnd wrote the lives of John Ran dolph nnd Henry Cabot Lodge nnd pub lished a volume nf political and economic essays. None of these works Is popular In style or treatment. Indeed, Adams confesses that, so far ns he knew, the onlv serious reader of his study of 'nT"-nn nnd MTillon were Ahrain S. Hewitt, Wayne JIacVeagh and John Hny, a small reward, as he says, for ten years of hard work. At first thought ono would pay that a man whose achievement In matters of general Interest was so slight would havo nothing to say In his autobiography which could be of Importance.

That was the goal which Donald MacMillan set out for in the year 1913. They felt that before them lay "two years of uncertainty, of blasted hopes, of adventure, of wonderful and strange sights, of extreme happiness and abject misery;" but the two years stretched to four with triumph at the end. The story of these four years is told with remarkable modesty by Donald MacMillan in his new book, FOUR YEARS IN THE WHITE NORTH, by Donald B, MacMillan MacMillan was with Peary when he found the Pole.

He does not know which one he likes best nnd Is taken to the hall of his ancestors In order to 'get their help In deciding, A draped and veiled figure follows them. The ancestors, that Is, his Inherited pre dictions, find It Impossible to make a choice. Then they all go to the hall of his children to see If his children and grandchildren and great-grandchildren can be of any help. Finally, the littlest of thef lot chooses the veiled figure, who proves to be the girl to whom he gavo his dove.

Two Volumes of Literary and Social Reminiscences of a Distinguished Woman There are autobiographies which de pend for their Interest on the eventual career of the subject, and there are other autobiographies which fascinate the reader because of tho literary charm of the style and the genial or cynical philosophy of life disclosed. The necol leotlons of Mrs. Humphry Ward, which have Just come from the preris, belong in part to each class. Mrs. Ward's life ha been mildly eventful In Ittfi suc cession of adventures In acquaintance with distinguished persons, and she hail a certain eoclal philosophy which mani fests Itself occasionally In tho course of her narrative. Aa every ono knows, she Is a grand daughter of tho famous Arnold of Itugby, hut It Is not so widely known that she was born In Tasmania and lived there till she was five years old. The first part of her recollections she devotes to the Arnold family. Headers Interested In literary history, however, will prize most highly her story of "Itobert Els mere," the book which 'gave Mrs. Wara an International fame", although It was not her first novel. She telle how Bho became Interested In the religious prob lem which Is the theme of the novel through a study of the church fathers from the fourth to tho hlnth century and their crodulousness when confronted with evidence of alleged miraculous happen ings. Tha higher biblical criticism was I making n stir In the world and she wanted to put Its problems In a boon which would attract attention. Sh worked nt It for J'ears. writing nnd re writing until she had her story told In what she thought an interesting manner. She exhibits n pardonaate prldo In. describing Its Immediate success. More than half a million copies C;f It were aold In America, and for months It sold R000 copies every thirty days In Eng land. Tho circulating libraries were besieged for lti Gladstone reviewed It. Clergymen prenched sermons against it. She was denounced as an enemy of Christianity on both sides of 'tho At lantic. But her book continued to sell. She has. not been able to live down her reputation as one who attacks the religious faith of Christians, for al though she makes no mention of It, an American magaslno to which an nrtlclo by her on Italian art was offered twenty years after "Robert Elsmere" was published, rejected It .because of fear that Its religious readers would bo of fended If It printed anything that Mrs. Ward wrote. Mrs. Ward confesses, however, that she has come to agree with her uncle, Matthew Arnold, thnt the main theme of her book was wrong that a priest who doubts must withdraw from the church. Matthew Arnold remained to tho end of his life nn attendant at the serv ices of the Church of England and be lieved that tho way to reform It was from within and that great national In stitutions were too sacred for Iconoclast handling If any other method were pos sible. But Mrs. Ward does not express regret for having written "Itobert Els mere." She brings her recollections down to her fiftieth year and summarizes her literary activities since then In a brief chapter. The book will take Its place among tho Important collections of literary reminiscences In the English language. A WniTBR'S RBCOr.t.nCTIONB. By Mrs. Humphry Wan!. Two volume. Illus trated.

Felix Adler's Philosophy The aim of Prof. Felix Adler In his latest work Is to sketch a certain "Phi losophy of Life," and to trace the steps by which he reached It. It Is the out- ,nnA nf Y,nA ll.an fnrtv V.iin nf aftin. social service and a ceaseless search for light on the great problems of life. As ' his system of thought and points of view as to conduct have grown out of his personal experiences, In an""autc biogrnnhlcal prelude" hehows how, after separating from tho Hebrew rellglom In which he was born, he reaches the con ception of humanity as a whole and the task laid upon each Individual of show ing his lovo for his neighbor. Then follow some of the applications of this philosophy to the three shadows of sick ness, sorrow and sin, and also to he principal so-called rights to life, pros perity and reputation. There are many practical hints and suggestions,' as, for Instance, the form ing In every community of an" organized body of parents related tu an organized body of teacherB, for "home and school should not merely co-operate, but In terpenetrate." This parental organiza tion could render "slgijal service to a school by appraising Its Ideals, by keep ing tally on the extent to which ac knowledged standards are carried out. and by joining In the unceasing endeavor to advance the standards. Schools must be backed by tho Interest and apprecia tion of the community." Hla studies and his life-work have led him to the conviction that the culminating social institution Is religious fellowship, Its three main aspects being teaching, or ganisation and worship. In his closing words he expresses tha hops that through his faithful obedience to the call of humanity h will attain to the '"peace which passeth understanding;," upon whose bosom "we can pass safely out of the realm of time apd space.
