N. L.); _Twenty-three Tales_, from Tolstoy (W. C.); Hawthorne's _Twice Told Tales_ (Houghton). Leopoldo Alas's _Cuentos Morales_ (in Spanish), and Emilia Pardo-Bazán's _Novelas Ejemplares_ (also in Spanish).

=The Pedagogical Commentary and Story=

Pestalozzi's _Leonard and Gertrude_ (Heath); Ascham's _Scholemaster_ (Heath); Machiavelli's _Prince_ (Oxford, W. C.); Thomas Elyot's _The Boke Named the Governour_, edited by Croft, 2 vols.

=The Story of Present Day Realism=

Kipling's _Life's Handicap_ and _Plain Tales from the Hills_ (Doubleday); William Carleton's _Traits and Stories of the Irish Peasantry_, edited by D. J. O'Donoghue, 4 vols. (London and New York, 1896); Edgeworth's _Castle Rackrent and Other Irish Tales_ (A. B.); O. Henry's _Trimmed Lamp and Other Stories of the Four Million_; B. Matthew's _Vignettes of Manhattan_ (Harper); W. D. Howells' _A Modern Instance_ (Houghton), _The Lady of the Aroostook_, _The Rise of Silas Lapham_, etc.; Israel Zangwill's _Children of the Ghetto_ (Macmillan); Upton Sinclair's _The Jungle_ (1906); Jacob A. Riis's _Children of the Tenements_; Henry James' _Daisy Miller_ (Harpers). Count Tolstoy's method is always realistic, although his types are extremely varied; see _A Russian Proprietor and Other Stories_ (Crowell). In method at least, most of the stories of Bret Harte, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, and Hamlin Garland are of this type. In his _Kriegsnovellen_ (Berlin, 1899) Detlev von Liliencron gives vigorous and sincere pictures of the Franco-German war, though he sees with the eye of the poet and selects his material.
