Ames, Joseph B. Treasure of the canyon. †$1.50. Holt.
7–32317.
A spirited tale of adventure attending a search for treasure hidden away in Arizona along the grand canyon of the Colorado. A new York collector of antiques sends a party out to hunt for relics of the cliff dwellers, and by accident one of the members comes into possession of papers that locate a vast store of imperial treasures carried off by the Spaniards when they captured the City of Mexico. The balking of their plans by desperadoes but makes the landing of the treasure in New York safety vaults more of a triumph.
Andreas and The fates of the apostles: two Anglo-Saxon narrative poems; ed. with introd., notes, and glossary by G: Philip Krapp. *$2. Ginn.
6–3091.
Descriptive note in Annual, 1906.
“A good edition of these poems, therfore—and we know of no better edition of any Anglo-Saxon poem than the present—fills a long recognized want. As a matter of detail, it seems to us a mistake to speak of the occasional parallels of the ‘Beowulf’ in the ‘Andreas’ as imitations of the older poem.”
