Noyes, Carleton Eldredge. [Gate of appreciation: studies in the relation of art to life.] **$2. Houghton.
7–15336.
A personal record of the author’s “adventures with the problem of art.” He wishes “to suggest the possible meaning of art to the ordinary man, to indicate methods of approach to art, and to trace the way of appreciation.” He believes that the final meaning of art to the appreciator lies in his sense of its relation to his own experience.
“The book is not a mere summary of art history and criticism, but the outcome of original study and possesses real value.”

Nugent, Maria, lady. (Mrs. George Nugent). Lady Nugent’s journal: Jamaica one hundred years ago; ed. by Frank Cundall. *$2. Macmillan.
W 7–122.
Lady Nugent was the wife of the Governor of Jamaica a hundred years ago and this journal was intended only for her children and friends. “A great part of the journal is devoted to things personal and domestic; hence the propriety of its private circulation when, five years after the writer’s death, it first saw the light in a modest way.... Historical, biographical, and bibliographical matter is furnished in abundance.”—Dial.
