The demand for tho book has been so great that It was sent to press four times before the day of publication, which was yesterday. It was discussed at length In another part of this newspaper on tho day of Us pub llcation. Cbunt Wittcs Memoirs If the lalo Czar Nicholas could have had his wny tho volume of reminis cences which the Count Wltto wrote for publication after his death would never have seen tho light. When tho count died his library was sealed by officers of the czar and nil his papers taken out of It, but tho manuscript was not there. Then the cznr asked the widow If ho might read tho manuscript and she told him that she did not have it with her in Hussia, Tho whole book had been written outnlijo of Russia nnd tho manuscript was kept In a safety deposit box in a bank under n name which made it impossible for the Rurfisan spies to find it. Tho books appears this week simultaneously in England, France. Hpain, Germany, Russia and tho United States. The American publishers are Doubleday, I'ago & Co. Tho count Is very frank in what he has to say nbout Nicholas and he has some pungent things to (ny to tho former German Kaiser. The book as a whole Is a most Important contribution to the history of Russia by one of tho greatest htatcs men the country hns produced, and in deed ono of the greatest statesmen of Ids gencrntion. Few other men havo n record of accomplishment that can compare with his. The book r trans lated Into idiomatic English by the curator of the Slavonic division of tho New York public library. Diplomatic Reminiscences Alcxnndor Iswolsky's "Rcrollections of n Foreign Minister" (Doubleday, Page & Co.), and A. Nckludoff's "Dip lomatic Reminiscences" (E. P. Dutton & Co.), should bo read in connection with Count Witte's memoirs. Iswol sky was foreign minister of Russia for a long time and he tells his side of the story about ninny things in which Wltto was involved. He also hns a most in teresting chapter devoted to nn np praNnl of the count ns n man nnd as a statesman. He concludes that the count's moral qualities were not so marked as his intellectual qualities, yet he udmits that Wltte was ouo of the crentest statesmen of modern Itussln. Nekludoff wus formerly Russian min ister at Sofia and Stockholm nnd am bassador at Madrid. Ho retired from tho diplomatic service in 1017 nnd went into 'exile. His book is full of import ant informntion nbout the Ualkon wars nnd the machinations of the Germans before the opening of the great war. Russian Literature If one seeks to lenrn something about the distinguished men or letters wno have made Russian literature he will find just whut he wishes in Shaknov skl's "A Short History of Hussion Lit erature" (E. P. Dutton & CoO It begins with tho fourteenth century nnd comes down to tho present. Biograph ical data arc supplemented by a dis cussion of the work of tho authors with a brief uccouut of literary tendencies. Bolshevist Russia Ho many books nbout the experiment in communism in Russia have been published that it is doubtful if any one knows the exnet number. Several have appeared in America this week nnd no one knows how many have been issued in England and France nnd Germany nnd Spain nnd Univ. The most intpr esting of the lot Is Clnre Sheridan's "Mnrrnlr to Moscow" (Honl & Live right). Mrs. Sheridan is n cousin of Winston Churchill and has nssociated all her life with the British aristocracy. She Is a scujptor and when she got nn opporrunityi)o go to Russia Inst Sep tember to make busts of the Bolshevist leaders she dropped everything and hastened to Moscow. She kept n diary In which she wrote her experiences for her own amusement. This diary gives the human side of bolshevism as it has beeu revealed by no one else. Mrs. Sheridan did not talk politics or eco nomics with the Bolshevists except when she had to. Her diary tells what sort of men nnd women the lenders nre, not formally, but by n record of what they did when she snw them and how they comported themselves. Those who have thought thnt Lenlnu nnd Trotzky nre monsters will be surprised to find thnt they nre men In ninny respects very much like tho rest of us. Their theories differ, that is all. It is a most human nnd enlightening- book. George Lans bury in "What I Saw In Ilussia" (Boni & Llvcrlght). Arthur Ransom in "Thu Crisis in Itussia" (K. W. Huebsch) and Henry Noel Brallsford In "Tho Russian Workers Republic" (Harper & Bros.) have produced books of n wry different sort. These men went into Ilussia for the express pur pose of studying conditions. They re port in more or less formnl wny whnt they saw. Lnnsbury is frankly pro Bolshevist nnd his book should bo rend with this knowledge. Arthur Ransom has Bolshevist sympathies which thould ho remembered by the reader. Mr. Brallsford is n rndicnl-liberul who has been nn editorinl contributor Jo tho Manchester Guardian nnd the London N'ntion. Ho went to Russia us nil in vestigator willing to believe the best. Ha spent two months thcro nnd he hns told what he saw. A Year of the League George Gmfton Wilson, professor of international Inw in Harvard Fnl verslty. delivered a lecture on "Tho First Year of the Leaguo of Nations" before the Twentieth Century Club in Boston a few weeks ago. It told in brief form whnt so many people wished to know that Little, Brown & Co. have been induced to publish it in a volume It tells of the meetings of the council during tho year and it tiuramniizes the proceedings of the first meeting of tho Assembly in Geneva. Murh detnll which the cnrcful student desires is omitted, but enough is told to satisfy the curiosity of the average person. A Novel of Protest When the judgcK of the Collins prizn novel contest in London had awarded tho prize of fi00 to "The Diary of Ht'nry Bulvcr" (G. P. Piitnnm's Sons), thev asked Miss C. Veyheyne, the nuthor, how she cnnie to write it. She explnined that it was born of "n great rngo nt the way pigmies kick dead giants." The inference that her hero is a giant at whom tho pigmies kick is correct. But he Is a curious kind of a hero und a study of him ought to he informing to those who wish to know what sort of a mnn u womnn thinks n hero should be. As tho story develops nny mnn can easily understand why other men had hard things to tay nbout him. Ho desorts at the altar the girl whom he promised to marry and he ran nway with the wife of his bene factor: but it is explained In tho in troductlon that ha deserted tho girl be cause ho could not have been happy with her and that ho ran awav with tho other man a wife becnuso that was tluvonl jvaj; to getxkl jJicx. GEORGE SANTAYANA ON AMERICAN OPINION The Distinguished Spaniard Who Taught Philosophy in Har vard University Has Written a Suggestive, Sound and Sivcel'Tcmpercd Booh Profewor of THIS book was originally nddrcsscd, Wo nre Informed. In Urtllnli niidl- enees In the form of lectures. But tho subject, American life in its aca demic nnd intellectual phases, especially at Harvard, Is oven more immediately interesting to us who nre of American birth. Prof. Santnyann possesses two advantages for his task, unusual in their combination, nnd these arc his for eign blood nnd secondly his American academic associations. Born n Span lard, Mr. Santavnna wos educated at Harvard and professed philosophy there ior more tnnn twenty years, wncrciore he Is able alike to know, to sympathize, even nt times to admire, and yet to viow American, or nt least New Eng land cnaractcr nnd putiosonlilc.il opin ion from the vantage of n detached ob server. In his preface he very aptly observes that such a work can hardly claim for Itself truth becnuse it enables us "to see ourselves ns others see us," for in such cases it Is the observer often who Is better disclosed thon the thing seen. And yet it is always an approxi mation nt least to a better understana Ins: of the realities to have them hon estly nnd dispassionately discussed by one who combines a knowledge of Hit subject with n elenr perception of its relations and the radical detachment of essentially alien blood. TO THE sanguine American spirit which is so passionately nttached to the faith that ranid and continuous bet terment Is one of the certainties of hu man development. It will come ns some thing of a shock to hear that "civiliza tion is perhaps approaching one of thoso long winters that overtake it from time to time. A flood of barbarism from below may soon level nil the fair works of our Christian ancestors, ns another flood two thousand years ago leveled thoso of the ancients." And yet Mr. Santnynna is far from hopeless ns to the future; on the contrary, he is full of illumination nnd recognition tor the essential idealism of American charac ter. While I doubt not that to the sea soned philosophic mind tho gist of this book will be found in the fine chanters of analysis of the philosophies of the two notable Harvard philosophers, with both of whom tho nuthor was innmnteiy associated, to the general reader and the journeyman reviewer It is the prospects, so to speak, by tho way which nlluro. What could be o finer tribute to liber ality, for example, than this on Wil liam James? "Nobody ever recognized moro heartily the chance thnt others had of being right, nnd tho right they hnd of being different." Or what shrewn observation could we have than this on tho associations of Josiah Royce with certain good folks whom wc Jtnow nre ad -dieted to advanced thinking? "On cur rent affairs his judgments were highly seasoned nnd laboriously wise Ills reward wos that he became n prophet to a whole class of earnest troubled people, who, having discarded doctrinal religion, wished to think thelt life worth living, when, to look at what it contained, it might not have seemed so." Mr. Santnyann is often thus keen on the subconscious relations of the bed rock of tho Purltnn spirit to the dls card of its forms. Wider in its reach is the observation thnt "hnrdly anybody, except the Greeks at their best, has realized tho sweetness nnd glory ot Do ing n rational animal," nnd the recog nition that out. of the Hebraic idea of themselves as God's chosen people has arisen "that terrible interest in material existence," in material splendor which still . haunts much of our Christian thinking as to the world to come. However, the author ndmits thnt "some detachment from existence nnd from the hopes of nintcrinl splendor hns indeed filtered into Christianity througli Pla tonism." PERHAPS the reader docs not feel out of his depth, or .will not confess It. His reviewer is sputtering. Let us get back to the shore. In his chapter on academic environment, Mr. Santny nna sets forth the difficulties of n phil osopher he might have added of any investigating scholar in combining pure speculation with that "delightful paternal art," teaching. And he likens the latter to acting "where the per formance, often rehearsed, must bo adapted to an audience hearing it only once." There ! n further difficulty for the teacher, a further responsibility to his students, "he must neither bore, nor perplex nor demoralize them " It is a just observation thnt ' while the sentiments of most Americans in poll tics and morals. If a little vngin, nre very constructive, tho democratic in- Ily KKLIX K. SCHKLLING KiikIIkIi Mlrroturr In flit I'nhtrally of I'runijlranla ftt!fa linirn nrnfltlfPf! II SRtCrt1 of Ctltl- cntion which anticipates nil that the most extreme revolution could bring about." The author finds in tho pre ponderance of women nlnong teachers of th" young, in ambitious, easy and optional lessons, "divided between what the child likes now nnd what he is going to need in bis trade or protrusion ' tho ever-increasing gulf between the Intellectual and the prartleal life. Wherefore "a gentle contempt" on the part of the young American for the pnst and a kindly regret for the poor old fellows who had no chance to live in our incomparable uge. Wherefore, likewise, American intelligence Is Inrgclv absorbed in what is not Intel lectual, father finding his recourso In business, the women and children In various forms of frivolity and play. It is in this clenvage thnt our want of nny real society really lies; tor sucn society as we have is distinctly unlntoj lectual nnd frivolous, while our Intel lectuality in its associations remains quasi -professional and unsocial. To return to education, Mr. Snntnyana aptly remarks that anything might have been taught in the liberal curriculum of the Harvard of his dny. "You might almost bo an atheist, If you were trou bled enough nbout it." Still, a certain senso of duty and decorum reigned over nil nnd. he wittily concludes, "n si ght smell of brimstone lingered In the nir. It. SANTA YANA'S last chapter is M America." and In it he pays a fine trib ute to the "eminence in temper, goou will, reliability, accommodation" in which nlono can we hope for the devel opment of a real democracy. To dom inate the world by co-operation is bet ter thnn to dominate It by conquest. Experiment in government is safer and likely to prove in the end more efficient than government by inspiration. "Free government," the nuthor tells us- else where, "works well In proportion n government is superfluous." "In America thero U but one way of being saved, though it is not peculiar to any of the official religions, which themselves must silently conform to the national orthodoxy or else themselves become im potent nnd merely ornamental. This national faith and morality arc vague in idea, but inexorable in spirit; they are the gospel of work nnd the belief in progress) . America life is free ns n whole, because it is mobile In temper America is docile nnd not nt nil tyrnnnical ; it has not predetermined Its career, and its merciless momentum is a passive icsultant." "Certainly absolute freedom," he concludes, "would be more beautiful If we wrm birds or poets; but co-operation nnd a loving sacrifice of n pnrt of ourselves or even of the whole snve the love in us nre beautiful, too. if we nre men living together." I make no apology for quoting thus frequently from thh suggestive, this sound nnd sweet-tempered book. Where thought is so com pletely nnd yet unsupertluously clothed in the raiment ot npt words there is no other wny. Mr. Sontaynna's style is as attractive as his ideas are stimu lating and allaying.
