“The story itself is not of great significance. Mr. Brady has a sure touch in his pictures of battles, whatever one may think of his romantic passages. Nelson, too, is impressively presented. If it does nothing else, the book may at least inspire some of its readers with the desire to study in sober history the progress of the events which are here so rapidly but glowingly sketched.”

Brain, Belle Marvel. All about Japan; stories of the sunrise land told for little folks. [**]$1. Revell.
“Miss Brain is already favorably known as a writer of ‘missionary’ stories for children, and in her present volume she manages to incorporate, in a style peculiarly adapted to the juvenile mind, a great variety of interesting facts concerning the history, life, customs and manners of the Japanese, as well as brief biographies of some of the most successful of those who have given themselves to the task of spreading the gospel of Christ throughout the islands.”—Lit.

“In it we have not only a capital book for little folks but a welcome volume for their elders.”
