[*] Jackson, E. L. St. Helena, the historic island from its discovery to the present time. [*]$3. Whittaker.
“We naturally expect that Napoleon’s sojourn at St. Helena would be made much of; instead, we have an orderly description of the island and a chronological account of the events which have happened there.” (Outlook.) “The photographic illustrations have a curious worth. Some of these were taken shortly after the Boer war, and show the Boers yet interned in the island.” (Nation.)
[*] “For a book of reference, in spite of its lack of an index, it has its utility.”

[*] Jackson, Edward Oscar. Love sonnets to Ermingarde. $1. Badger, R: G.
These love sonnets “are exactly one hundred in number, and their recipient has reason to be proud of the imagery and emotion which she evokes in the soul of her poet. It is the Shakespearean model that Mr. Jackson follows, both as to form and to diction.”—Dial.
