“The best that can be said about ... ‘Stories from Chaucer’ ... is that [it is] a literary impertinence. They are written, it is true ... with skill and cleverness, and with a limpid style that brings them quite within the limits of ten-year-old understanding. But why should mayhem be committed upon the literary body of a subtle, suggestive, and intellectual poet in order to make a holiday for babes?”

Cheney, John Vance, ed. Inaugural addresses of the presidents of the United States from Washington to Polk, from Taylor to Roosevelt. 2v. *$3. Reilly & B.
6–34849; 6–35584.
Two handsome volumes which print collectively for the first time the inaugural addresses of our presidents.
“The bindings are simple and chaste, and the presswork unexceptionable. The addresses themselves form a subject well suited to be clothed in the form in which they here appear.”
