Graham, Harry. [Familiar faces.] il. $1. Duffield.
7–25157.
Some of the familiar faces which Captain Graham describes in rime are those of the baritone, the dentist, the man who knows, the waiter, the policeman, the music hall comedian, the faddist, and the gilded youth. Mr. Hall has assisted in the impressionism by introducing a series of very suggestive pen and ink sketches.
Graham, Henry Grey. Social life of Scotland in the eighteenth century. $2.50. Macmillan.
A new edition, which gives in a cheaper and more compact form than ever before, Mr. Graham’s exhaustive treatise upon the evolution which took place in the religion, education, agriculture, science, and art of eighteenth century Scotland.
“Mr. Graham knows the minutiae of Scottish social life, and with anecdotes full of the peculiar national humor and notes that should not be skipped, shows us the people of thrift, faith, struggle and romance more fully than we have ever yet seen them.”
