Hardy, Edward John. What men like in women. **$1. Dillingham.
From invincible youth to graceful age, the author sketches the likable characteristics and qualities of women. In every chapter he sounds the depths of the permanent and trustworthy elements that make for life happiness.
“Out of the serious often cometh forth humor. The wheat is in about the same proportion to the chaff as history is to fiction in an historical novel.”

Hardy, Ernest George. Studies in Roman history. *$1.60. Macmillan.
“A new edition of the author’s well-known work on ‘Christianity and the Roman government,’ supplemented by half a dozen other essays, two of which originally appeared in the English historical review, three in the Journal of philology, and one as part of an introduction to an edition of Plutarch’s ‘Lives of Galba and Otha.’”—Nation.
“At its first appearance Hardy’s work was not marked by much originality, and hence it is questionable whether any justification can be found for a second edition in which no account has been taken of recent developments. Some of the special studies ... which form the concluding portions of the book are decided contributions to the literature of Roman administration.” Patrick J. Healy.
