“The condensed character of Mr. Webb’s book would hardly lead to its substitution for the more extended treatment given by Wellington. In spite of the author’s modest assertion that the lawyer or legislator will find in the book little or nothing of use to him, and the implication that the professor of social economics will pass it by, this little manual is well worth a careful reading by all these classes.” Frank Haigh Dixon.

Webster, Jean. [Jerry Junior.] †$1.50. Century.

The game of love is played according to new rules in this story of Jerry Junior, the young American who finds himself stranded at an out of the way Italian watering place, awaiting the coming of a delayed sister and aunt. He meets an American girl who lives at a near by villa by inauspiciously falling off a stone wall at her feet and, in order to know her better impersonates an Italian donkey-driver with earrings and a red sash. The girl is not deceived and by the time the donkey driver has advanced in her good graces far enough to hold her hand she succeeds in making him jealous both of the stranger who fell off the wall and of Jerry Junior, both being himself, but he doesn’t know that she knows. It is all very amusing and pretty.
