“To those who crave in the reading the temporary excitement that attends the perusal of a story filled with murders and murder plots, the detection of crimes in spite of highly scientific methods employed to divert suspicion, and the tragic self-death of the murderer when he discovers that his deeds are known, this book may possess interest.”

De Selincourt, Beryl D. Home of the first Franciscans in Umbria, the borders of Tuscany and the Northern Marches. [*]$1.50. Dutton.
“The author describes Assisi, the district of Lake Thrasymene, Monte Casale, and Vallingegno, two Umbrian solitudes, the valley of Rieti, the Marches and La Verna. She has also written an introduction in which she touches on the influence of the personality and temperament of St. Francis, of the places to which he retreated. The thirteen half-tone illustrations are reproductions of photographs taken by Mildred Bicknell.”—N. Y. Times.
“Discriminating and sympathetic introduction. Mrs. de Selincourt’s style, in any liberal spirit of criticism, is of a high average.”
