Davitt, Michael. Fall of feudalism in Ireland. [**]$2.50. Harper.
“The land league revolution of the Irish people, their struggles to regain possession of the lands confiscated under Cromwellian settlement,—which was virtually continued during two hundred and fifty years,—is set forth in this book.... Parnell is, of course, Mr. Davitt’s hero; and the personal portraiture he gives is both interesting and valuable.”—Critic.
“He writes from a partisan viewpoint and, as might have been expected, makes no attempt to conceal his partisanship. Despite this fact he has done good service to contemporary history by the care he has bestowed on the documentary part of his exhaustive work.” E. P.

[*] Dawson, Miles Menander. Business of life insurance. [**]$1.50. Barnes.
“Mr. Dawson writes as an actuary of long experience, addressing himself primarily to those holding or contemplating the purchase of life insurance. The comparative merits and defects of the various systems of insurance and forms of policy, the methods whereby rates are or should be fixed, the ‘schemes’ adopted by companies to increase their business—in short, almost every topic connected with the subject is discussed with a mingling of criticism, advice, and warning.”—Outlook.
[*] “Practical suggestive, and soundly informative, this book should find a wide audience.”
