Browne, George Waldo. St. Lawrence river: historical, legendary, picturesque. **$3.50. Putnam.
“It is in delineating the picturesque that Mr. Browne is at his best, but even here we usually have rhapsody rather than sane description. It would be tedious even with space at one’s disposal to point the dozens of mistakes in the book. Enough has been written to show that Mr. Browne was not equal to the task before him.”

Browne, Nina Eliza, comp. Bibliography of Nathaniel Hawthorne. *$5. Houghton.
The initial volume in a series of bibliographies of prominent fiction writers. The author, the secretary of the American library association publishing board, has spent sixteen years upon her task, and has included entries of everything that can be found in print by and about Hawthorne, with references also to all the articles that were called forth by the recent Hawthorne centenary.
“The book is comprehensively arranged, and the items for the most part very completely covered, so that the volume stands as a genuine contribution to bibliographical literature, and must prove invaluable to the Hawthorne student.”
