interdependent, and necessary to each other." In this relation, Mr. Chapman illustrates from the literature he studies, taking up in order practically all the important English writers from Cowper to the present day. He writes well and entertainingly, and never with a narrow theological preoccupation. No serious student of literature can read the book without drawing from it a flood of new light upon the ideals of the nineteenth century, while it has of course special interest for those vitally concerned with religious matters.

Biography and History

THE LIFE OF MARY LYON
By Beth Bradford Gilchrist

With portraits and other illustrations. Square crown 8vo, $ 1.50 net. Postage extra.

Of the many notable women of the nineteenth century, few did work of such lasting importance as Mary Lyon, through whose influence the movement for the higher education of women was begun. As the founder of Mount Holyoke College, the story of her life and the force of her personality are already traditionally known to thousands of college women throughout the United States, but the world at large, which knows her chiefly as a celebrated name, will for the first time learn from Miss Gilchrist's admirable biography of her great personal magnetism and charm. Miss Gilchrist has done her work well and sympathetically, and has painted a permanent addition to the portraits of the world's great women. It is a fit companion to the remarkable "Life of Alice Freeman Palmer," one of the most successful books of 1908. In the best sense it is a book of inspiration.

MY FRIEND THE INDIAN
By James McLaughlin

Illustrated. Large crown 8vo, $2.50 net. Postage extra.

This is an authoritative book of engrossing interest. The author, as Indian Agent and Inspector, has had intimate relations with Indians for a period of nearly forty years. It was he who ended the Ghost Dance trouble in 1890 by the arrest of Sitting Bull, and so successful have been his negotiations with the Indians in many difficult and complicated cases that he is known among them as "The Negotiator." The story of his life and work is unique in the rich literature dealing with the subject of the American Indian. He tells of many thrilling episodes in Indian history, including for the first time the Indian side of the story of the Custer tragedy at Little Big Horn, and the story of Chief Joseph's famous retreat with his Nez Perces. Along with these intensely interesting reminiscences, there are studies of the Indian character that are of first importance. The author tells of the Indian's daily customs in love and war, of his way of looking at things, and of his religion. The whole, in short, is a thrilling narrative of adventure and a firsthand study of the Indian character that cannot be passed by. It is fully illustrated with unusual pictures of Indians and their life. (Ready in April)
