=Brebner, Percy James (Christian Lys, pseud.).= Princess Maritza; il. by Harrison Fisher. $1.50. McBride, T. J.
“It is the old story of the little kingdom and the succession and the ‘peace of Europe’ on the verge of collapse. As in all such stories, there are tricky ministers, intriguing women, swash-buckler soldiers and the lovers—a princess and a soldier of fortune.”—N. Y. Times.
“The incidents are numerous though unconvincing. The personages do not live, we are indifferent to their fates.”
“Usually, in such stories, there are lay figures, but Mr. Brebner has injected hot blood into them, and the result is a story, the stirring action and situations of which may cause Anthony Hope to tremble for his ‘Zenda’ laurels.”

=Breed, Charles Blaney, and Hosmer, George Leonard.= Principles and practice of surveying. $3. Wiley.
“Not a treatise, but a text-book, and an elementary rather than a comprehensive text-book. They [the authors] deal with the simpler branches of the surveyor’s work in a clear and simple explanatory style. The subject is covered in four main divisions, headed, respectively: Instruments (use, adjustment and care); Surveying methods: Computations: Plotting: followed by a rather good collection of tables.”—Engin. N.
“Good manual of the simpler branches of surveying. Especially careful in pointing out possible sources of error.”

“The usual tables complete the volume, which is probably as satisfactory a text-book under present methods of technical school instruction in surveying as can be written.” H. N. Ogden.

“The book as a whole is worthy of a place on any beginner’s desk, and merits success.” Arthur D. Butterfield.
