Marble, Annie Russell. Books in their seasons. [**]30c. Crowell.
Uniform with the “What is worth while series,” this little volume pleads for not “the gentle reader,” but “the sane reader,” suggests some authors and books, and asks the reader in his own further choosing to follow nature’s moods and seasons, to read books fitting to the time, and in harmony with the outer world.
Marchmont, Arthur William. Courier of fortune. [†]$1.50. Stokes.
“The story is placed in a town known as Morvaix, ruled badly, viciously, by one Duke de Rochelle. Reports of the misrule reach the ears of the Duke de Bourbon, the suzerain lord, and he sends his son Gerard secretly to investigate the charges. This Gerard does, and a remarkable chain of circumstances so adjusts matters that the young man falls in love, and is loved in return by the very girl that de Rochelle means to make his own. Here is fire and tinder in plenty.”—Pub. Opin.

“The cheerful philosophy that Dr. Marden has preached in previous books he insists upon in this which consists of a series of talks especially intended for young men. Examples of the world’s heroes are cited, the world’s leaders of thought are liberally quoted, anecdotes are given; and thus, by precept, illustration, and in symposium of opinions, Dr. Marden reinforces his own teachings in regard to perseverance, ‘self-honor,’ courage, self control, money, success, ‘Moral daring,’ and kindred subjects.”—Outlook.
