=Armour, John P.= Edenindia: a tale of adventure. †$1.50. Dillingham.
Edenindia is a Utopian realm into which an airship drops the hero of this tale, Victor Bonnivard. Jilted by a heartless maiden, and weary of life at best, it touches his vanity to be called to join the king’s counsellors and family of state. Edenindia is a socialistic kingdom whose inhabitants have been kept in ignorance of any other people. Ennui finally compels young Victor to elope with the king’s daughter.
“His imagination, if bold, is rather heavy and lumbering in its gait.”

=Armour, Jonathan Ogden-.= Packers, the private car lines and the people. $1.50. Altemus.
In which Mr. Armour defends the packers. He tells of the conditions that brought the private car-line into existence and what it has accomplished to facilitate traffic and to improve the business situation.
“Mr. Armour is not a stylist; but he knows how to put his arguments clearly and effectively.”
“The book is vigorously written, and probably must be regarded as the authoritative reply of the packers, by one of their most eminent representatives, to the accusations brought against them. It is an able plea in defense and avoidance. As such the careful student of the problem will find it valuable. He will not find it conclusive.”

=Armstrong, Sir Walter.= Peel collection and the Dutch school. $2. Dutton.
