Gilbert White's remarkable book, "The Natural History of Selborne," has perhaps been published in a greater number of editions than any other book of the kind in the world. The work mentioned above gives a very interesting account of both the man and his book, and as an essay in bibliography, ranks with the very best works of its class.
Fiction
The Devil-Tree of El Dorado
By FRANK AUBREY. With Illustrations by LEIGH ELLIS AND FRED HYLAND. Thick 12mo, cloth, stamped in fire bronze and gold, $1.50.
The book should find as many readers as "King Solomon's Mines."—New York Sun. (2/3 column review.)
We have often wondered why the famous legend of El Dorado had never found its way into romance. Though the novel of adventure is once more in vogue, and although the cry is general that all possible themes have long ago been exhausted this still was left untouched; the story tellers seemed to have thought the quest as hopeless as the adventurers found it. The omission has now been made good; the hidden city has been found.—Macmillan's Magazine, London.—(Extract from a thirteen-page review.)
Is an exceptionally fascinating book. * * * We know well that the scenes and characters are all ideal—nay, we feel that some are utterly impossible—but none the less they enthrall us.—New York Herald, (3/4-column review.)
