This article presents information about several books on various topics. They are as follows: "The Unwelcome Man," by Waldo Frank, "The Rise of Ledgar Dunstan," by Alfred Tressider Sheppard and "The Balance," by Francis R. Bellamy. Waldo Frank's "The Unwelcome Man" is not an enlivening narrative, but that, in relation to the author's purpose, is neither here nor there. He is out for bigger game than entertainment, scents an Idea on the horizon, and pursues it without truth for his hero or his reader. "The Balance" is the story of a young genius, whose triumph is that one could have very comfortably dispensed with him as a genius, but should have been sorry to miss him as a man.
