Abstract

The Book Shelf

This article presents information about different books. "The Concert-Goer's Library of Descriptive Notes," by Rosa Newmarch comprises notes chosen mainly from the analytical programs of the Queen's Hall orchestra, London, from 1908 to 1927. A new edition of "Contemporary American Literature: Bibliographies and Study Outlines," by John M. Manly and Edith Rikcert offers a thoroughgoing revision of a book first published in 1922. The career of Johns Hopkins, founder of the university that bears his name, is recounted in "Johns Hopkins. A Silhouette," by Helen Hopkins Thorn. Writers of short stories who feel a need of instruction in that art will be interested in "Writing the Short Story and Significant Short Stories," by Edith Mirrielees of Stanford University.
