Abstract

Books in Brief

The article presents information about various book. Some of them are: "Natural Man: A Record From Borneo," by Charles Hose, "Mirrors of the Year. A National Review of Outstanding Figures, Trends, and Events of 1926-7," edited by Grant Overton, "The American Year Book. A Record of Events and Progress for the Year 1926," edited by Alert Bushnell Hart and William M. Schuyler and "Prosper Mérimée: A Mask and a Face," by G.H. Johnstone. After annual publication from 1910 to 1919, inclusive, "The American Year Book" was dropped until last year, when it reappeared. "Mirrors of the Year" is less a record of events than a series of monographs by American writers giving a personal interpretation of certain aspects which to them seem worth setting down.
