“The aim of modern rational geometry is to pass from premise to conclusion solely by the force of reason. Mr. Halstead is the first to write an elementary text-book, which adopts a modern view, and in this respect his ‘Rational geometry’ is epoch-making. It seems as if the present text-book ought not to be above the heads of the average elementary students, and that it should serve to develop logical power as well as practical geometrical ideas.” Arthur S. Hathaway.

Hamilton, Sylla W. Forsaking all others: a story of Sherman’s march through Georgia. $1.50. Neale.
A Union soldier, by persistent kindness to a fiery daughter of the South wins her, and makes her see that though her home lies devastated in the wake of Sherman’s army, and her childhood’s lover lies dead upon the battle field, a great right has grown out of these many wrongs. The book gives a vivid picture of Georgia’s sufferings during the war, and of the brutality of Sherman’s men.
Hammond, Captain Harold. Pinkey Perkins: just a boy. [†]$1.50. Century.
Wholesome fun pervades this story of Pinkey, the boy, his pranks, his love affairs, and his troubles. The reader’s sympathy is wholly with him in his contests with an over-zealous teacher, in his celebration of April fool’s day, and July fourth, and in his encounters with old Hostetters, for Pinkey is always quick-witted, and never malicious.
“Is a little different from most boys’ books. He is never monotonous, however.”
