Gibbs, Philip. Facts and ideas. $1.25. Longmans.
Short studies of life and literature, which have appeared in various weekly newspapers. There is a brief treatment of a great many subjects, including the French revolution, and the Transvaal war.
“The book aspires to be a sort of elementary substitute for liberal education—a university extension course on things one should know.”

“We think that occasionally, in his desire to point a moral, Mr. Gibbs exaggerates. The writer does not go to the heart of his subject.”

[*] Gibson, Charles. Among French inns: the story of a pilgrimage to characteristic spots of rural France. [**]$1.60. Page.
“Most daintily attired, all gray and silvery and splendidly pictured, comes ‘Among French inns’ ... with ... an automobile, an indulgent American papa, a managing American mamma, a double love match, and an enviable collection of French, English, and Italian types. Moreover, there is real information about the inns, their table d’hotes, their relative expensiveness and inexpensiveness, and a plenty of historical data.”—N. Y. Times.
[*] “He defaces almost every page of his book by his badly chosen vocabulary, or his disregard for the rules of English syntax.”
