Gerson, Virginia. More adventures of the happy Heart family. $1. Fox.
Another book for the very young in which little mother Heart, papa Goodheart, and the little Hearties all appear, also the Jolly-jumpers and the Valentines, who were “a very elegant family because their grandfather was a saint, so Mrs. Fancy Valentine always wore white lace.” Quaint drawings illustrate the volume.
[*] “Another one of those delightful children’s books which the grown-ups like as much as the little people.”

Gettemy, Charles Ferris. True story of Paul Revere. [**]$1.50. Little.
A short biography of the American patriot whom Longfellow’s poem saved from historical oblivion. His midnight ride is told in his own words, and he appears as a patriotic engraver and dentist as well as public messenger, soldier, and juror. Both Revere and the historical events in which he played a part lose in romance but gain much in reality by this accurate account. Original documents are quoted and Revere’s copper-plate engravings are fully described.

“The book shows scholarly work, and is of value historically apart from its narrative of Paul Revere.”
