Tompkins, Herbert W. In Constable’s country; with many reproductions from his paintings. *$4. Dutton.
More a transcript of impressions, penned, in the first instance, by the wayside than an essay on Constable and his art.
“A gossipy chronicle of unimportant wanderings, readable because the author has written of what interested himself.”

Tonge, James. Principles and practice of coal mining. *$1.60. Macmillan.
“A compact, comprehensive, and not too technical treatise covering the entire field of coal production.... The illustrations, both photographic and diagrammatic, are comprehensive, and serve well to illuminate the descriptive matter. At the end of each chapter is a series of questions bearing upon it, as on aid to fixing the subject matter thereof in the memory of the student.”—Engin. N.
