This article focuses on several books. Some of these books are "The Land of the Living," by Maude Radford Warren; "The Four Philanthropists," by Edgar Jepson; "The Statue," by Eden Phillpotts and Arnold Bennett; "My Day and Generation," by Clark E. Carr. Carr of Illinois, whose seventy years of life extend from Andrew Jackson's administration to the present moments gives in "My Day and Generation" reminiscences of the men and events that have touched him personally during an active career. Into the oft-told tale of ward politics in Chicago the author of "Land of the Living" has infused some new effects by making it at the same time a study-of two phases of the Celtic nature-the idealizing and the domineering.
