In Many Moods, by Lydia Stirling Flintham. Techny, Ill.: The Mission Press, 1915, pp. 206, 8vo. Cloth, 45 cents. The following stories are contained in this volume, some of which have previously appeared in our Catholic periodical literature: Out of the Darkness; Mrs. Doolittle's Awakening; My Uncle's Blue Book; The Pearl Necklace; A Reminiscence; Mrs. Boyle's Parlor Furniture; The Priest and the Convict; Sister Raphael; At the Beginning of the Angelus; From the Heart of the Storm; Father Stillman's Choir; and the Heart of the Chalice. Government and Politics of the German Empire, by Fritz Conrad Kruger. Yonkers on the Hudson: World Book Co., 1916, pp. xi+340. This volume forms one of the Series of Government handbooks edited by David P. Barrows and Thomas H. Reed. These books "are planned for the double purpose of supplying college classes in government with handy authoritative texts and of furnishing the public with convenient volumes for reading and reference. The plan is to cover the important governments, not only of Europe, but of other parts of the world and certain colonial dependencies. Each volume will be written by a specialist in the history and institutions of the country concerned and from first-hand knowledge of actual conditions." A series of manuals prepared in this way will prove eminently serviceable both to teachers and pupils and to the general public. If the remaining volumes of the series attain the standard of excellence in text and illustration of the first volume there will be little room for complaint.
