Liquor problem. **$1. Houghton.
“The committee, by publishing the results of their study in a single volume, will gain access to a far wider audience, and will thus induce many more persons to go more deeply into the evidence by turning back to the earlier special reports for more prolonged study. No more sane, balanced and convincing statement of the problem has been made.” C. R. Henderson.

“The pseudo-scientific character of so-called temperance instruction in the public schools is unmasked. The remedial aspect of the matter is treated with breadth and sanity.” Winthrop More Daniels.

Little, Alicia Bewicke. (Mrs. Archibald John Little). Round about my Peking garden. **$5. Lippincott.
“In her knowledge of the real China, Mrs. Archibald Little admittedly stands unrivalled among living European women.... She has ... genuine love and sympathy for China and its people—a trait which, it is perhaps unnecessary to say, is not universal among European residents in the country. ‘Round about my Peking garden’ may be described as a collection of sketches of North China.... By way of the Peking palaces, temples, etc., Mrs. Little takes us to the Ming tombs, the Western tombs, the Mongolian Grass Land, the seaside resorts near Peking, and even to Port Arthur. This is the geographical distribution ... of the sketches. With regard to time, they all appear to be dated about the period of the last occupation of Peking by the allied troops.... It is copiously illustrated from photographs.”—Ath.
