New, Edmund H. [Evesham.] [*]50c. Dutton.
“Americans rarely see Evesham and the beautiful, broad vale in which it lies, although they are near it when they make, as all good Americans do, their Shakespeare pilgrimage. This little book, one of the ‘Temple topographies,’ is, with its line drawings and pleasant narrative, an introduction and an incentive to visit a charming countryside.”—Outlook.
“In this volume thorough justice is done to the buildings of a charming little Worcestershire town.”

Newberry, Percy Edward, and Garstang, John. Short history of ancient Egypt. [**]$1.20. Estes.
A small volume which gives a comprehensive sketch of the Egyptian monarchy from its founding to its disintegration, three thousand years later. The story is told in the light of the many important discoveries which have been made within the last decade. It is a book that will arouse the student’s interest in the subject and lead to the study of larger works.
“There is a painful lack of proper proportion. The presentation in the little book of the new results from the archaic age deserves consideration as a serious contribution. The American edition has some serious misprints.”
