Bandelier, Fanny, tr. Journey of Cabeza de Vaca. [**]$1. Barnes.
A new volume in the “Trail-makers library” which narrates the experiences and adventures of the first white man to cross the continent. “His journey begun in Florida in 1528 ended on the Pacific in 1536. The translator and editor have had a valuable idea in extracting from the original confused and garrulous narrative what was essential and important.” (Outlook.)

“The work is edited by no less an authority than Ad. F. Bandelier, the foremost in this line, and the translation is by his wife, whose quick intelligence and absolute familiarity with the Spanish language has enabled her to fathom many intricacies of the vague and confused record.” F.

[*] Bangs, John Kendrick. [Mrs. Raffles; being the adventures of an amateur cracks-woman narrated by Bunny.] [†]$1.25. Harper.
“In his well-known humorous style Mr. Bangs has portrayed Mrs. Raffles, the widow of the famous cracksman, and her never-to-be-consoled admirer ‘Bunny.’ The yarns ... contain material for detective stories that quite surpass the plots invented for the original thief by Mr. Hornung.”—Critic.
[*] “The yarns one and all are amusing.”
