Walker, James. Analytical theory of light. *$5. Macmillan.
“Not a text-book of physical optics, but of the analytical theory of light.... It is a book to which students who desire to know how far the mathematical side of the wave theory has been carried, what are its limitations, and in what directions advances are possible will usefully turn.”—Nature.
“Mr. Walker has added to the literature of the subject a book of real value.”

Walker, Williston. John Calvin, the organizer of reformed Protestantism, 1509–1564. **$1.35. Putnam.
Uniform with the “Heroes of the Reformation.” The volume “lays special stress on Calvin’s training, spiritual development, and constructive work, giving secondary place to the details of his Genevan contests, or of his relations to the spread of the Reformation in the different countries to which his influence extended. Calvin, as Mr. Walker points out at the very beginning of his book, was of the second generation of reformers.” (Putnam’s.)
