“This is an unusually successful work in a difficult field. While we must give credit to the author for teaching us a great deal of zoology in a pleasant manner, the most difficult part of his task, he has hardly done justice to an exceptionally interesting individuality.”

“Prof. W. Bölsche’s study of Ernst Haeckel is, like the frontispiece of the book, a picture in warm colours. The author is nothing if not enthusiastic, and indeed no one can think over the achievements of Haeckel’s life without sharing the author’s admiration for his hero.”
“In the nature of things—and the German professional point of view and literary manner—the total is rather hard reading. Yet there is much of real interest.”

=Bonner, Geraldine.= Rich men’s children; il. by C. M. Relyea. †$1.50. Bobbs.
A western story in which a multimillionaire’s son marries an adventuress, takes to the mountains to win back his peace of mind, falls in love with a bonanza king’s daughter and hopes for developments that will permit an honorable marriage. The way appears when the former husband of the unfit wife appears, and is a welcome factor in straightening the tangle.
“Is one of the strongest romances of the year.”
“All things considered, it is rather the best piece of fiction that has yet come from Geraldine Bonner’s pen, the clearest character drawing, the strongest situations, the most thoroughly human appeal from first to last.” Frederic Taber Cooper.
“Miss Bonner’s book is primarily about the children of two of these bonanza families, but its best and most interesting, parts are those that treat of the parents.”
