Godfrey, Edward. Structural engineering, bk. 1. Tables. $2.50. E: Godfrey. Monongahela bank bldg., Pittsburgh, Pa.
The author “has selected the most necessary elements of the ‘Pocket companion,’ of ‘Osborn’s tables’ and of other similar works, put some of the material into improved form, and added an equal amount of new matter, comprising diagrams, tables and drawings.”—Engin. N.
“Is in many respects distinctly ahead of anything yet published in the English language. As a whole, the book represents a very useful collection of structural tables, and a very compact one. But its varied contents are so heterogeneously mixed up, so lacking all orderly arrangement, as to excite one’s surprise.”

Godfrey, Elizabeth, pseud. (Jessie Bedford). Bridal of Anstace. †$1.50. Lane.
“Love, battling with race and religion, is the foundation of Elizabeth Godfrey’s latest romance. At the outset of her story London is astounded by the marriage of an English girl Anstace, with the Count Basil Leonides. The wedding is performed with the ceremony of the Orthodox Greek church. In the midst of the reception that follows, the bridegroom receives a telegram. He reads it, and without showing it to his bride, begs her to prepare for instant departure. While she is making her preparations, however, he slips from the house alone and disappears. Why he went, and where, the sudden reappearance of the earlier wife whom he thought dead, and all that followed therefrom makes up the substance of the story.”—N. Y. Times.
