[*] Maitland, John Alexander Fuller. Joseph Joachim. [*]$1. Lane.
This volume in the “Living masters of music” series “is only some sixty pages in length and is divided into five sections dealing with Joachim’s career, violin playing, teaching, influence, compositions, each of which is necessarily summarized in the briefest manner.... Having quickly disposed of the facts of his career, there is space found for interesting personal reflections upon the playing and influence of Joachim. His character, moral and artistic, which is one, is well summed up.”—Acad.
[*] “Is a good specimen of condensed biography.”

Major, Charles. [Yolanda, maid of Burgundy.] [*] [†]$1.50. Macmillan.
“The time is when Edward IV. reigned in England, and Louis XI. sat upon the French throne. Then Charles of Burgundy, styled Charles the bad, was feared as the richest and most powerful prince in the country, and it was Mary, his beautiful and gentle daughter, who was the pawn that the wicked prince would have gladly sacrificed for his own ambitious aims.... It is a story bristling with intrigue and adventure, with meetings after dark, and love and scorn and villainy and fine ladies traveling unattended, and mystery galore, and always through it all runs the theme of love—the love of a brave man for a beautiful girl.”—N. Y. Times.
