Ingersoll, Ernest. Island in the air. [†]$1.50. Macmillan.
Fifty years ago some plucky resourceful young people were cut off from their elders, as they all travelled westward to found a new home, by a landslide which held them fast upon a bit of table land, an island in a sea of air. The story tells of their adventures with Indians and wild animals and their final escape. There is also much information upon archaeology, geology, and the use of drugs.
“Exactly the sort of narrative to please adventurous boys and girls.”

[*] Innes, Arthur Donald. [England under the Tudors.] [*]$3. Putnam.
“‘England under the Tudors’ ... is the fourth (the second in order of publication) of Professor Oman’s ‘History of England’ in six volumes, and is, therefore, a companion volume to Mr. Trevelyan’s ‘England under the Stuarts.’ ... Mr. Innes ... has produced a competent book on this troubled epoch.”—Lond. Times.
[*] “Mr. Innes has carefully interpreted each reign in the light of these views and they give to his narrative a consistency and unity which will make his book especially valuable to the younger student and to the general reader, to whom it is more particularly intended to appeal.”

[*] “Mr. Innes’s work has not the brilliance of Mr. Trevelyan’s installment, but it is thoroughly adequate for its purpose, and shows even greater signs of sound judgment. If it is not so readable, it is perhaps more trustworthy. It is this sane judgment which characterizes Mr. Innes’s treatment of difficult and disputed questions, and makes his book so valuable an introduction to the study of the whole period. If the other volumes of the series are executed as well as the two already at hand, the reading public will at last have an adequate history of England.” Joseph Jacobs.
