Prichard, Kate O’Brien Hesketh, and Prichard, Hesketh Vernon Hesketh (E. and H. Heron, pseud.). Don Q. in the Sierra. †$1.50. Lippincott.
Don Q. has abstracted the qualities of his birthright chivalry and has employed them strangely enough in his fearless bandit adventures. Relentless and merciless with the unworthy wayfarer who happened to fall into his clutches, he was equally remarkable for “the splendour, of his generosities, his almost diabolic courage, his spirit of chivalry, and, perhaps most of all, his unswerving fidelity to the poorest who served him.” Here are more tales to delight the admirers of the invincible Don Q.
“In spite of the sameness, they are eminently readable. You sit down with the book and find yourself unable to put it aside until you have finished it.”

Prince, Morton. Dissociation of a personality: a biographical study in abnormal psychology. *$2.80. Longmans.
The subject described in this study is Miss Christina L. Beauchamp, a patient of Dr. Morton’s whose three personalities struggled with each other for the control of the body and brain. They were “the saint, the woman, and the devil. The Saint, the typical saint of literature ... may fairly be said, without exaggeration to personify those traits which expounders of various religions ... have held up as the ideals to be attained by human nature.... The Woman personifies the frailties of temper ... ambition.... Sally is the Devil, not an immoral devil ... but rather a mischievous imp.” (N. Y. Times.)
