[*] Peck, Ellen Brainerd. Songs by the sedges. $1. Badger, R: G.
A little volume of verse which sings of old-fashioned gardens and fields, of rosemary and bitter-sweet, and of the minuet and the spinet. There is a time-long-ago atmosphere to many of the poems.
Peck, Harry Thurston. [William Hickling Prescott.] [**]75c. Macmillan.
This study of Prescott gives an account of the historian’s life and personality and a criticism of his works. An opening chapter treats of “The New England historians,” then follow biographical chapters based largely upon the letters and memoranda contained in Ticknor’s “Life of Prescott,” and a discussion of Prescott’s work and its merits.
