JOHNSON. CERVANTES' DON QUIXOTE. Edited by Clifton Johnson. 12mo.
Illustrated. xxiii + 398 pages.
A well-edited edition of this classic. The one effort has been to
bring the book to readable proportions without excluding any really
essential incident or detail, and at the same time to make the text
unobjectionable and wholesome.

12mo. Illustrated. xiv + 326 pages.
A story based upon the Spanish and Portuguese accounts of the
attempted conquest by the armada which sailed under De Soto in 1538

of the invaders' struggles and of their final demoralized rout; while
her account of the native tribes is a most attractive feature of the
narrative.
