“The book is marred by repetitions, and in a second edition the author should avoid as poison the iteration, if not the subjects, of tea, dogs, and ants.”

“The present account is disappointing in that its information is neither very trustworthy nor up-to-date. It would be pleasant to be able to congratulate the author on the illustrations, but nearly all of these we have seen elsewhere before. They are not very closely connected with the letterpress nor are the landscapes very characteristic whilst some of them are not what they profess to be.” L. A. W.

“It is a serious, well-written treatise, worked out from the point of view of the scientist who would contribute something of practical and general value and interest. As a reference book of all expeditions into the ‘forbidden land’ it will be found most comprehensive and convenient.”

* Holland, Clive. Old and new Japan; 50 col. pictures by Montagu Smith. **$5 Dutton.
“The text leads open the way for some specially good illustration; for Mr. Holland has much to say about the superstitions, legends, and stories of Japan concerning the national spirit of Japan and her legendary genesis, concerning Japan’s religions, her Buddhist and Shinto temples and ancient shrines, concerning the quaint, pathetic, and beautiful Japanese festivals, concerning Japanese gardens, old and new, and the life of the country folk.”—Outlook.
