Pool, Bettie Freshwater. Eyrie and other southern stories. $1. Broadway pub.
Seven short stories, some of which are in the negro dialect, a dozen simple poems on various subjects and a concluding story. The monstrosity, by Gaston Pool, complete this volume.
Porter, Frank Chamberlain. Messages of the apocalyptic writers, the books of Daniel and Revelation and some uncanonical apocalypses; with historical introductions and a free rendering in paraphrase. [**]$1.25. Scribner.
“These mysterious writings, most of them not in our canonical Scriptures, are our chief source for later Jewish eschatology, and for the momentous matter of Messianic dogmatics.... [The author] gives a summary view of their nature and subject-matter, and analyzes, at considerable length, the books of Daniel and Revelations. In smaller space he studies the apocalypses of Enoch, Ezra and Baruch.”—Cath. World.
“A very useful and convenient manual of Jewish and Christian apocalyptic from the historical point of view.”
