fines of the Spanish-speaking world is to be found in the volume entitled, Pages choisies, which contains a set of selections of French translations made from various prose and poetic works of our author. Not the least valuable part of this book is the thirty-nine-page preface by Ventura García Calderón. Peruvian letters suffered a very severe loss in August, 1918, through the death of the aged Manuel González Prada. The book we have listed, Páginas Libres, represents his earlier tendencies toward pessimism and anarchy in nearly all respects: religious, political, linguistic, and artistic. All students of Spanish-American letters will be glad to avail themselves of the long, detailed study that the Venezuelan critic, Blanco-Fombona, has devoted to the author in the first eighty pages of the book.—We are delighted to have come upon a copy of the second edition, with illustrations, of El Demonio de los Andes, by the Dean of Spanish-American letters, Ricardo Palma. The Venezuelan, Julio Calcaño, was not merely a man of letters who wrote historical novels and was interested in matters linguistic (as witness his study of the peculiarities of the speech of his country as compared with Castilian), but a poet as well, as is shown by the two volumes that we have listed.-José Gil Fortoul, another Venezuelan writer, appears in our list with a sociological essay entitled, El Hombre y La Historia.-Rufino BlancoFombona, likewise a Venezuelan, is represented by a volume of travel-notes entitled, Más allá de los horizontes . . . -For some time past Blanco-Fombona has been devoting himself to a good deal of very important editorial work. He has become director of four series of publications: The Biblioteca Andrés Bello (devoted to literature), the Biblioteca Ayacucho (devoted to history), the Biblioteca de Ciencias politicas y sociales, and the Biblioteca de la Juventud hispano-americana (whose titles are self-explanatory). On some later occasion we shall hope to give a detailed analysis of the contents of these series. Alberto Nin Frías, whose Estudios religiosos and Ensayos de crítica é historia are listed, is a Uruguayan writer and diplomat who has been recognized as one of the most spiritual essayists writing in the Castilian language; but if we be not in error he has for some time past not favored the public with any important new work. After such a varied experience as he has had and an initial performance such as he has given the public, the public naturally expects that he will continue in the good work. Of the late and lamented José Enrique Rodó our list shows a volume of important essays dealing with five interesting topics.-Juan Zorrilla de San Martin, whose Resonancias del Camino we list, is that genial soul who was President of the Civilians' Committee that received our fleet on the occasion of its memorable visit to Montevideo and who, at the reception and banquet just before the fleet's departure, made them a farewell address of such lofty spirituality that our leaders in Montevideo had it printed and distributed to the fleet. It would be well if all our people could read this wonderful address. JOHN D. FITZ-GERALD UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS V. GENERAL BIBLIOGRAPHY Álvarez, Agustín. South America.
