“In spite of these and some other less important mistakes and misplacements of emphasis, the book is a fresh, stimulating and generally correct organization of the principles of education.” Wilbur S. Jackman.

[*] Bagot, Richard. Italian lakes; painted by Ella Du Cane, described by Richard Bagot. [*]$6. Macmillan.
“In the pages of this beautiful book there have been gathered enough pictures of the Italian lakes ... to make those who read ... realize at least somewhat of the wonderful beauty of the lakes of Italy, even when they have not seen them.” (Ind.) “The lakes of Como, Lugano, Lecco, Maggiore, Orta, Isco, and others of northern Italy are described and painted.”—N. Y. Times.
[*] “The illustrator ... has given us a series of pictures which, though quite pretty, do not help the reader to realise the general character of the North Italian lakes. The material with which Mr. Bagot had to deal was far too extensive for the space at his disposal; and on the whole he has made a wise selection.”

Bagot, Richard. [Passport.] [†]$1.50. Harper.
“Mr. Richard Bagot has written a stirring melodrama of love and intrigue. He has laid on his colours with a trowel. He gives us the lovely maiden wooed by the handsome lover whose suit is forbidden by the stern stepmother. He tells of wicked priests, cynical and scheming villains, faithful servants, secret hiding-places and sliding panels—all the stock-in-trade of regulation melodrama.... The scene of the book is laid in Rome and the ‘local colouring’ is admirable.”—Sat. R.
“It is a pleasure to read so well-conceived and well executed a tale as this. This is a book that will certainly bear reading twice.”
