“The groundwork of the results of Dr. Scripture’s recent work abroad, in the laboratories organized at Munich, Berlin and Zurich. Save for illustrative examples from the records, the present volume deals almost exclusively with methods; nearly all of the last fifty pages are taken up with tables, some of which appear for the first time, and should prove most helpful to other investigators along these lines.”—Science.

Scudder, Vida Dutton. Disciple of a saint: being the imaginary biography of Raniero di Landoccio dei Pagliaresi. $1.50. Dutton.
W 7–125.
“This ‘imaginary biography’ of Neri di Landoccio, secretary of Saint Catherine of Siena is ... a book full of human interest.... Of story, in the ordinary sense, except such as is furnished by the background of actual recorded events, there is little.... The drama is a drama of ‘soul-states.’ Yet, if the chief interest is psychological, this is not through inability on the part of the author to present the material side of things: Siena in the throes of the plague-epidemic and the papal court at Avignon are vividly set before the reader.”—Ath.
