* Jacberns, Raymond. Discontented schoolgirl. †$1.50. Lippincott.
The story of the English school days of an impish little girl of French and English parentage. “In the Juvenile fiction of a bygone generation Marcella would have been held up as an awful warning to young readers, and would probably have incurred some terrible fate as a punishment. Now her disobedience, insolence, ingratitude to a kind guardian, and general insubordination, are gleefully related as being rather amusing than otherwise, and the happy ending to the story is indirectly due to her bad behaviour.” (Ath.)

“For the general reader the work possesses all the elements that go to make books of travel in strange lands interesting reading. For the scholar the book is valuable both for the richness of its bibliographical references and for its own contributions to the subject.” George Melville Bolling.
