Fisher, Clarence Stanley. Excavations at Nippur; plans, details, and photographs of the buildings, with numerous objects found in them during the excavations of 1889, 1890, 1893–1896, 1899–1900 with descriptive text by Clarence S. Fisher. (Babylonian expedition of the Univ. of Penn.) 6 pts. ea. pt. $2. C. S. Fisher, Rutledge, Delaware co., Pa.
“The entire work comprises some two hundred large folio pages of topographical introduction and descriptive text, abundantly illustrated with cuts and photographs, including some splendid full-page photogravures, besides many folding lithographic plates giving plans and details of the buildings.”—Outlook.
“Altogether we may heartily congratulate both the University and Mr. Fisher on the first part of a book, which bids fair to be a most valuable contribution to science. We have noticed some typographical errors ... but these are trifles.”

“Mr. Fisher certainly deserves great credit for the manner in which he has exhibited the topographical and culture development of Nippur and its temple. In this regard his work constitutes an important contribution to Babylonian archæology, and scholars will await with interest the publication of the remaining five parts, in which, it is to be hoped, more care will be bestowed on the proof reading of the descriptive text.”

Fitch, (William) Clyde. [Climbers: a play in four acts.] **75c. Macmillan.
A new volume in the published edition of the plays of Mr. Fitch. The climbers, which had a considerable degree of success on the stage, is not only a clever satire upon the social climber but contains some well-devised situations, which, altho they lose some of their effectiveness in book form, make good reading.
