Canyon, and Other Poems<br />
By HENRY VAN DYKE<br />
This collection of Dr. van Dyke's recent verse takes its title<br />
from that impressive description of the Grand Canyon of Arizona<br />
at daybreak, which stands among the<br />
most beautiful of Dr. van Dyke's poems.<br />
The rest of the collection is characterized<br />
by those rare qualities that, as The Outlook<br />
has said, have enabled the author " to win<br />
the suffrage of the few as well as the applause<br />
of the many."<br />

THE<br />
PANAMA<br />
GATEWAY<br />
5th Edition<br />
By Joseph Bucklin Bishop<br />
Secretary of the Isthmian Canal Commission<br />
The New York Herald says:<br />
*"The Panama Gateway," by Joseph<br />
Bucklin Bishop, is not only a book of unusual<br />
value at the present moment but<br />
one which may well be treasured because<br />
of the accurate information which it conveys.<br />
. . . Mr. Bishop covers every phase<br />
of the subject fully and accurately, but his<br />
work does not take the form of dry statistics.<br />
On the contrary, it is full of interest<br />
and to the thoughtful mind must prove<br />
extremely valuable."<br />

Through the Brazilian Wilderness<br />
By THEODORE ROOSEVELT<br />
The New York Times says: "It does not need this latest<br />
labor from Colonel Roosevelt's pen to vindicate his claim as an<br />
earnest, intrepid, and in every sense of the word genuine naturalist.<br />
. . . Colonel Roosevelt has been able to add one more excellent<br />
volume to a list which is already a praiseworthy record."<br />

The Man Behind the Bars<br />
By WINIFRED LOUISE TAYLOR<br />
THOMAS MOTT OSBORNE, Warden of Sing Sing Prison, says:<br />
"Miss Taylor's book, 'The Man Behind the Bars,' is a valuable<br />
contribution to the literature of the prisons.<br />
Its proof of the humanity of the<br />
prisoners and of the results which flow<br />
from a treatment of the prisoners as men<br />
are clearly shown, and will undoubtedly<br />
help to bring home to all readers of the<br />
book a clearer comprehension of the human<br />
beings whom we have treated with<br />
such singular lack of knowledge and lack<br />
of common humanity."<br />
