_The Boston Transcript_: "Two of his conspicuous merits characterize these papers, the peculiar power he possessed of enlisting and retaining the attention for what are commonly supposed to be dry and difficult subjects, and the capacity he had for controversy, sharp and incisive, but so candid and generous that it left no festering wound." _The Review of Reviews_: "A strong presentation of the scope and dignity of technological education, and its relations to other forms of culture." _The School Review_: "The scope and power of the contents make the work a permanent contribution to the development of educational thought and principle."

HENRY HOLT & CO. 29 West 23rd St., NEW YORK 378 Wabash Ave., CHICAGO 2d Impression of THE FORTUNE OF WAR BY MISS ELIZABETH BARROW. 12mo. $1.25. A vivid romance, the scene of which is laid in New York City during the British Occupation in the Revolution. _N.Y. Times Saturday Review_: "The story is a good one, the historical data accurate, and the ways and manners of the period are cleverly presented.... The love plot is absorbing, and will be found by many readers even more fascinating than the faithful reproduction of the manners and customs of the time.... It is quite safe to say that this book vies in excellence with some of the historical romances which have caused more general comment. No doubt it will gradually grow into a larger popularity". _The Outlook_: "Miss Elizabeth Barrow has done her work not only well, but delightfully well." _The Independent_: "A short tale, and a very good one.... A story of the Revolutionary War, romantic to a degree and very charmingly told." _Chicago Times-Herald_: "Another tale of the time of Washington, but one that is more deserving both of popular and critical appreciation than some of the much-vaunted financial successes." _Springfield Republican_: "It gives a good picture of New York City as it was in the eighteenth century.... The story is agreeable reading." _Hartford Courant_: "She has done good work in her romance; ... it is told in a very attractive way.... The book is decidedly one that will entertain." _Christian Register_: "Miss Barrow has been successful in depicting the condition of New York City at the time the British were quartered there.... It is a bright, pleasant tale." _The Churchman_: "The book furnishes an interesting side-light upon the estimation in which the Americans were held by the upper classes of the British through the greater part of the Revolutionary struggle."
