Noldin, Hieronymus. Devotion to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, intended especially for priests and candidates for priesthood; trans. from the Germ. by Rev. W. H. Kent. [*]$1.25. Benziger.
“A history of the cultus and observations upon its theological and ascetical importance.”—Cath. World.
“The historical sketch is brief but valuable. We think, however, that this curious evasion of the twelfth promise question will be the sole objection which devout clients of the League will make to this book.”

[*] Nordau, Max. Simon (Südfeld). Dwarf’s spectacles and other fairy tales, tr. from the German by Mary J. Safford. [†]$1.50. Macmillan.
“The stories were told to Maxa, Mr. Nordau’s little daughter, from her fourth to her seventh birthday, and are translated for the benefit of other little ladies by Mary J. Safford. There are twenty stories in all, and they are about everything from beetles to fairies and from rosebushes to white mice. For instance ... there is a tragic account of a last year’s fly, which shows how sad it is to outlive one’s generation; there is a story of an ungrateful mouse; and a doll that was excessively haughty—in fact, there are stories about everything.... Young people—and even older ones—will read with breathless interest. The book is illustrated with a number of line drawings.”—N. Y. Times.
