“This volume of jingles is judiciously divided, somewhat like Charles Welsh’s edition of ‘Mother Goose,’ to accord with the physical activities and dawning mental appreciation of small folk. There is a diversity of selection, ranging from ‘Pussy-cat, pussy-cat, where have you been?’ to Tennyson’s least childlike and most stilted poem, ‘Minnie and Winnie.’”—Nation.

“Taken in a set, these three volumes of verse represent an agreeable progress from classic jingle to rarest poetry.”

Wigram, Edgar T. A. Northern Spain; painted and described by Edgar T. A. Wigram. *$6. Macmillan.
“The kind of description which lies halfway between the guide-book and the book of atmosphere.” (Outlook.) “The author made his tour as a bicyclist. He journeyed with observing eyes, and very little in Spain that was really worth while escaped him.” (Ind.) “Besides ‘hamlets’ and small towns, the traveler stopped at the larger cities, including Covadonga and Asturias, Leon, Galicia, Benavente, Zamora, Toro, Salamanca, Bejar, Avila, Toledo, Segovia, Burgos, Navarre, and others.” (N. Y. Times.)
“One cannot open these pages anywhere without being struck by our author’s capacity for presenting a scene in words at once fit and few.”
