“While there is nothing in the least objectionable in the Heart disclosing itself in these verses, there is also nothing of special value. The lines are of easy, rippling quality, and the sentiment is perhaps as perfectly exemplified in the poem called Prayer as in any of the collection. Real passion never babbles.”

* Herbert, Agnes. [Two Dianas in Somaliland: the record of a shooting trip.] il. $4. Lane.
Two young huntresses face lions and leopards in the African wilds as unflinchingly as any toughened game-bagger of the sterner sex. They go for game and adventure, and find it. Their caravan consisted of forty-nine camels, seven horses, about a half hundred camel drivers, men of all work and guides. There is a thrill on almost every page to keep the adventure-lover’s blood tingling.
“The book is exceptionally interesting and well turned out.”

“This record of adventures and achievements, although realistic and at times heartless, is nevertheless a fascinating one.”

“Miss Herbert, judging by her trophies, is readier with the gun than the pen.”
