“The work is written in a spirit that may well be characterized as judicial, although in places the author leans far too heavily on Parton. We are inclined to class the work, at this writing, as the best biography of Jackson that has appeared.”

“As a mass of biographical material, pleasantly and honestly presented, these volumes have a real value, especially to the student who can remove the chaff.”

“There are occasions also, it is to be feared, where Mr. Buell suffers his personal Anglo-phobism to interfere with his facts.”

“It is not a balanced work in execution. It exhibits a singular incapacity to weigh testimony and to judge the contemporaries. It would be a fruitless task to follow Mr. Buell in his many errors of statement, for no chapter is free from them.”

Bullen, Frank Thomas. Denizens of the deep. [**]$1.75. Revell.
“A study-built book.... The subjects of Mr. Bullen’s collection of short stories are animals that cause the reader to have a vivid conception of the life of the inhabitants of the deep. There are many different specimens of these denizens considered, whales and sharks and seals and sea lions, or sea elephants, as Mr. Bullen calls them, and the birds of the sea as well as the fishes. We find that there is a story about every one of the more important birds.... And the narratives are not all fictional.”—Baltimore Sun.
