Ames, V. B. Matrimonial primer; with a pictorial matrimonial mathematics and decorations by Gordon Ross. [*]75c. Paul Elder.
Humorous, epigrammatic bits of advice for husband and wife are found in this little volume. Its friendly shafts frequently strike home, and one may both laugh and profit by them.
[*] “The wit sometimes falls to commonplaceness but never to anything more objectionable.”

Amsden, Dora. Impressions of Ukiyo-ye, the school of Japanese colour-print artists. [**]$1.50. Elder.
“This study treats of the whole school of Japanese color-print artists, and is appropriately illustrated with half-tone reproductions of famous paintings. The whole is printed on Japanese paper, and an appendix shows facsimiles of the most famous signatures of color-print artists, presented in this volume for the benefit of collectors.”—R. of Rs.
“The frequent occurrence of such misstatements as these mar what would otherwise be a very acceptable essay, readable, and giving in compact form much information useful to those who are becoming interested in Ukiyo-ye prints.”
