“The author’s style is clear. He makes his thought easily understood, though he is somewhat redundant at times. Barring this defect the style is, on the whole, excellent and the thought well calculated to strengthen, purify and upbuild the character of the reader.”

Lathrop, Elise. Where Shakespeare set his stage; decorations by G. W. Hood. **$2. Pott.
Twelve Shakespeare plays are described with respect to scene, appearance of characters and periods in which they lived, and the sources of the plots. The author bases her study upon visits to the localities which are reproduced in text and illustrations.
“No harm will be done to readers who confine themselves to the illustrations, but the letter press is capable of conveying many misleading ideas to uninformed youth.”
