...however, which is likely to attract the most attention is probably the new novel, "The Naulahka," by Rudyard Kipling and Walcott Bolestier, the latter a well-known American now living in London. This is Mr. Kipling's first experience in collaboration, and the story is not only international in authorship but also in plot.

...treated. A knowledge of American history is requisite for the reader, but for the student, the materials brought together are invaluable. Mr. Windsor contributes some very able papers in the fifth volume which are remarkable for their literary and historical treatment. As might be expected from the varied authorship, the work, judged as a historical narrative, is often deficient, but as a digest of our knowledge about our predecessors on this continent, it is unsurpassed...
