The annotations are intended to be des- criptive rather than critical. The sources of these are given; unsigned notes are by the compiler. Volume and page numbers are separated by a colon, and the date is separated from these by a semicolon; e. g., Dial 26:162; March 1, 1899 means Dial, volume 26, page 162 of the issue of March 1, 1899. In some cases a second reference has been given, when it was thought that it would add something definite in the description of the book. Publishing firm are denoted by the names of the first mem- bers. The date following this is intended to be the date of the latest edition in each case. Books starred were found in the lists of "Best books 1* for 1897, 1898 and 1899, prepared by the New York state library. The proportion of books in each class is as follows: Amusements and occupations, 4-l/5$ Biography, 7-4/5$ Fairy tales, etc., 16 $ Fiction, 19-l/5$ Fine arts, 3/5$ Government and administration 4/5$ History ( including histor- ical fiction), 23-4/5$ Picture books, 3 $ Poetry, 4-l/5$ Religion and ethics, 1 $ Science, 10-4/5$ Travels, etc., 8-3/5$ The following list contains the principal abbreviations used; other abbreviations are self-explanatory.

Dodd, 1898. |1.50 The "Golden Legend", with its admirable pictures by Mr. T. H. Robinson, would have interest for us if only because it was "W. v.» But in itself there is an exquisite beauty. It is made up of tales of the saints and martyrs told as a poet might tell them to a child he loved. He makes these austere heroes more fascinating than fairies, more beautiful than prin- cesses, and very human. Yet he is true to the simple old legends and the hidden significance of them becomes visible in his hands. Dial 25:408; Dec. 1, 1898. Church, Alfred J. Stories from the Bible. 2V.
