By John Kirke- suard, assisted by Dr. H. T. Fernald and Prof. E. A White. Boston. Willlams Bookstores Company. Willlams Bullding Price $2.50. In the preparation of this volume, the purpose continually in the mind of the author has been to afford a simple and convenient reference book of the ornamental trees and shrubs and plants hardy in this climate; sim- ple, yet concise, a guide valuable not only to a amateur, but to the busy architect, gardener or plantsman as well. Its form has been suggested by the needs encountered during a long period of private and commercial association with plants, when the ma- terial here set forth would at times have been most useful. The author has earnestly endeavored to include whatever information the average householder needs to enable him to make a selection of such trees and plants as are best adapted to his pur- poses, and to aid him in properly caring for the grounds about his home. SHAKESPEARE AND PRECIOUS STONES. By George Frederick Kunz. Philadelphls, J. B. Lippincott Company. $1.26. The known references of precious stones in Shakespeare’s works with comments as to the origin of his ma- terial, the knowledge of the poet con- cerning precious stones and references as to where the precious s‘lones of his time came from. As no' writer has made a more beautiful and telling use of precious stones in his verse than did Shakespeare the author believed that if these references could be gath- ered together for comparison and for quotation afid if this were done from authentic and early editions of the great dramatist-poet’s works, it would give the literary and historical student a better understanding as to what gems were used in Shakespeare’s time and jn what terms he referred to them. This'has been done here and compari- sons are made with precious stones of the present time, showing what mines were known and gems were worn in Shakespeare's day, and also some- thing of those that were not known then, but are known at this time.
