“One half of the corrigenda which Dr. Breasted announces in his fifth volume are caused by the uncouth and barbarous system of transliteration which forms the trade-mark of Berlin Egyptology, and which Dr. Breasted admits must be ignored by the general reader, it will be seen that he has suffered in no slight degree by his devotion to his innovating teachers. This is, however, the only fault we have to find.”

“Throughout Dr. Breasted writes clearly and lucidly. He tells his story in a straightforward and spirited manner and, while no detail of importance is omitted, he is never prolix.

=Brebner, Percy.= Knight of the silver star. *$1. Fenno.
An English traveler slides inadvertently down a mountain side on the borderland of Russia and finds himself in a strange kingdom where mediæval customs prevail. Here, welcomed as a heaven sent knight, he wields a sword in behalf of the beautiful princess, passes safely thru many wondrous adventures, and at last in a miraculous fashion escapes from his enemies. He returns to our modern London carrying with him the princess who, as his wife, remains the one proof of the time when he tilted for her in the lists wearing the armour of the knights of the silver star.
