A History of the Theatre in America by Arthur Hornblow (J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia and London), is a new, authoritative work in two hand some, illustrated volumes of positive value, a work that has long been needed, since for nearly two hundred years the theatre in America has-- been without a historian, although of books on plays and play acting there has been no end. There are, it is true, such works as the three volumes of George 0. Seilhamer's projected History of the American Theatre which was brought down to the. year

I797 only, William Dunlap's A History of the American Theatre which is more properly an autobiography than a history, Blake's History of the Providence Stage, Clapp's Record of the Boston Stage and Ireland's Records of the New York Stage,

but these were books dealing with the theatre in particular localities. Mr. Horn blow's work embraces the entire field of American theatrical. activity, from the earliest beginnings in Colonial days down to the present time. Indeed, Mr. Horn blow's two volumes will almost take the place of a fair-sized library of the Drama. An excellent index is appended to Volume II. This book belongs in every library, Drivate or public.

'Ermellino, with bibliography, Dr. Cor rado Ricci writes of Leonardo in the

Vatican, T. B. De Toni of a Vincian frag ment, Edward McCurdy of 'Leonardo and' War, Giuseppe Favaro writes ot Leonardo and the bird embryology, while numerous other highly interesting and important colleXctions complete the tenth volume which contains an extensive index embracing the entire publication from volumes I to X inclusive.

It is a rare and a pleasant thing to come upon a volume that is both authoritative in matter and unacedemic in the manner of presenting it. Convention and Revolt in Poetry by John Livingston Lowes, Professor of English in Harvard Uni versity (Houghton Mifflin Company, Bos ton and New York), is such a work.

The chapters which constitute the book were delivered as lectures at the Lowell Institute in Boston. The Roots of Con vention, The Ways of Conventions; Originality and the Moulding of Con ventions; The Hardening of Conventions and Revolt; The Diction of Poetry versus Poetic Diction; Rhyme, Metre and Vers Libre; The Incursions of Prose and the Vogue of the Fragamentary; The Anglo Saxon Tradition-these are the headings of Professor Lowes's eight constructive and illuminating and thoroughly enjoy able chapters. Carlyle once said of Ten nyson: "Alfred is always carrying a bit of chaos around with him, and turning it into cosmos." Apropos of this Pro fessor Lowes writes: "Well, that is poetry's job, and it is amazingly like the enterprise of life. And one reason why poetry is worthy of the consideration of men and women breathing thoughtful breath, in this return to chaos, is the fact that poetry's essence is also, in a sense that is profoundly true-it is creative energy made effective through restraint."
