...matter of regret that space should be given in your splendid magazine to advertise a book by R. F. Foster, The Coming Faith (TIME, Dec. 28). It goes without saying that a man who has written 78 books on "bridge and other games" could not be a trained scholar. One statement is evidently true: "R. F. Foster is not a theologian." The study of bis face indicates what Plato would call a "keen and narrow intelligence," which was also true of Mephistopheles.

...Krasnya's account bristled with suspiciously circumstantial details about a certain "orthodox nun" who claims to have ministered to the Imperial family up to the last moment.

The seventh and eighth windows from the main entrance are now always open. Our guards consist of 13 men armed with revolvers and bombs. All the keys are with the Commandant, who treats us well enough...
...Wendell's finest book. "Chronicles of the East India Company in China" is the history of an important chapter in the development of the English dominions overseas by H. B. Morse '74 of Surrey, England. W. M. Ivins '01 of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City, has written a fully illustrated book on the interests and recreations of a gentleman scholar, called "Books and Prints". The last volume is titled "A Book of Old Maps", written collaboratively by E. D. Fite '05 and Archibald Freeman...
