Bocock, John Paul. Book treasures of Maecenas. $1. Putnam.
“It is rather startling to pick up a volume with this title and open immediately to a poem on ‘Funston of Kansas.’ It appears, however, that the book’s title is that of the first poem, and that the volume includes many fugitive verses on all sorts of topics, which have been welcome to the columns of many newspapers and magazines.”—Outlook.
