No. 5.] REVIEWS OF BOOKS. 529

The King's Market, And Other Studies. By FRED B. R. HELLEMS. Boulder, The University of Colorado, I929. PP. xii, 365.

In this book is revealed the mind of a sensitive humanist for whom all phases of philosophy, science, art and life retained to the end of a long administrative and academic life the grace and charm which they traditionally have for youth. The author writes without affectation of meanings and essences such as are usually known only to poets, in a way which elevates the common mind to the level of poetic intuition. A list of the topics would show his interest in education, science, litera- ture, architecture, philosophy and religion.

A Source Book of American Political Theory. By B. F. WRIGHT, JR.

New York, The Macmillan Company, I929. Pp. xi, 644. The editor of these selections has rendered a service to students and

teachers who have difficulty in finding many of the typical, especially the early, expressions of political theory in America. He has shown good judgment in printing in the main coherent and extended extracts rather than mere abstract paragraphs or sentences. There is a good working bibliography to guide the student to secondary material.

Human Nature and Its Remaking. By WILLIAM ERNEST HOCKING.

New Haven, Yale University Press, i929. Pp. xxvi, 496.

Teachers who have used this book for student reference will welcome a reprinting, as it has been out of print for several months. No changes appear except a brief abstract of the argument before each of the seven sections. Though first published eleven years ago, the book has lost nothing of its soundness. It will continue to reward the more thoughtful teachers and other social workers with a sane corrective of momentary enthusiasms. It is synoptic, balanced and tolerant; but above all it produces in the reader a sobering sense of the com- plexity of human nature and reform.
