“Commander J. W. Gambier is an unconventional writer; and the rules of grammar are included among the conventions which he overrides. That matters little, however, for he is a breezy writer, with plenty of stories to tell. The book is one to be read by all who enjoy rollicking relations of adventure.”

“He writes in a free off-hand manner, and is frequently unrefined, even to coarseness. If the book has literary merit, we have failed to discover it; or any mark of distinction. The author’s comments are, as a rule, commonplace.”

Gamble, William. Straight talks on business. **$1. Jacobs.
7–27365.
Talks for the young man contemplating a business career, for one who is unafraid to think, to work, to sacrifice, who looks upon business not as a pastime, nor as an unpleasant necessity, but as a human duty. The advice has grown out of the experiences of a man who has followed a strenuous business life. He claims no new business philosophy, but puts principles which time has tested into new form better suited to present day needs.
