“Tells some humorous stories and moralizes more or less shrewdly at times. There is too much, however, of his political and social dogmatism, and the personal story involved is of the weakest.”

Redgrave, Gilbert R., and Spackman, Charles. Calcareous cements: their nature, manufacture, and uses, with some observations upon cement testing. [*]$4.50. Lippincott.
“In its present edition this book is noteworthy for its discussion of cement manufacture. Over one-third of the space is devoted to this subject. The next largest space is given to composition, chemical analysis and constitution. In these sections and in its historical notes on the development and early manufacture of hydraulic cements the book is superior to any other treatise of which we have knowledge.”—Engin N.

Rée, P. J. Nuremburg and its art to the end of the 18th century; from the German by G. H. Palmer. [*]$1.50. Scribner.
“The librarian of the Bavarian museum at Nuremburg has written a careful survey of the art treasures in that city. He scarcely touches the history of the place ... but traces the development of German art, as illustrated by the buildings and in the museums of Nuremburg, in painstaking and elaborate fashion. His treatment of the artists and craftsmen who succeeded Dürer will be found especially valuable by English tourists who wish to learn something more of designers and artist-craftsmen.... This volume of the “Art cities” series is abundantly illustrated by one hundred and twenty-three photographs.”—Ath.
“In spite of its merits, we fear that English readers will find it hard to digest. The translation of the book looks as if it had been ‘made in Germany.’”
