“One cannot but regret that the author has not seen fit to describe the highest type of university as it exists today in this country, and to present a view of higher education in its latest and finest aspects with the particularity and appreciation which he devotes to its beginnings in the early colonial days.” J. B. P.

Tilley, Arthur Augustus. François Rabelais. (French men of letters, v. 3.) **$1.50. Lippincott.
7–29040.
A biographical and critical study of Rabelais written for the “French men of letters” series. The author’s familiarity with his subject and his comprehensive study of sources, have resulted in an authoritative narrative which assumes less knowledge on the part of readers than as tho it had been written for Frenchmen.
“Let it be said at once, and with all frankness, that it is the very work to be consulted by anyone who wants to be well instructed in the known facts concerning Rabelais. It is when we cease to consider facts and dates and such matters that Mr. Tilley becomes tiresome and quite ineffectual.”
