Chase, Arthur Wesley. Elementary course in mechanical drawing for manual training and technical schools; with chapters on machine sketching and the blueprinting process. 2 pts. Pt. 1. $1.50. H. Speakman, Congress and Honore sts., Chicago.
“As its title implies, this work presents in the usual style an introduction to the elements of mechanical drawing. The problems have been arranged so as to omit all finished sheets; the student is given the layout of a drawing only; in this way any direct copying of finished work is prevented. Specifications are fully given in every case so the student receives a drill similar to the experienced in practical work.”—Engin. N.
“The text is lucidly but not always concisely written.”

Chaucer, Geoffrey. Facsimile reproduction of the first folio of Chaucer, 1532; with an introduction by Prof. Skeat. [*]$50. Oxford.
“The folio of 1532, compiled by William Thynne, clerk of the kitchen to Henry VIII, a man of means and an ardent admirer of Chaucer, was the first collection which claimed on its title-page to be the works of Geoffrey Chaucer; and this it is which is here reproduced. As the First folio, it possesses great bibliographical interest.”—Nation.
