“Professor Foxwell’s book suffers from the defect inherent in its form, which is that of lectures delivered at different times during the past ten years, of not co-ordinating the treatment of these problems. The contents are valuable and the author’s grasp of his subjects complete enough to make us regret that he did not recast the lectures into book form and develop his logical sequence.”

“Little Pierre” is the story of a boy from his birth to his tenth year. It is told in the first person and the actual memories of childhood begin with his second year. He is the son of a Paris physician and is born “in the days when the reign of King Louis Philippe was drawing to a close.”
‘Mr May and his colleague have done well, uncommonly well with their work, have indeed lost very little in the transition from French to English, and kept all the charm of ‘Little Pierre.’” G. M. H.
