Editorial Table.
‘“SHAKESPEARE'S TOWN AND TimeEsS.”’ London: Dawbarn & Ward, Limited, 7s. 6d. net.—This book, from the pens of Mr. H. Snowden Ward and Mrs. Catherine Weed Ward (editors of the Photogrum) is of great value from many points of view, and is the result of great painstaking, study, and investigation, although the authors in their modest manner of summing up in the introduction say: ‘‘ Our task has been a simple one— to write in pale words the tale of Shakespeare's life, to picture what remain to us of the scenes that Shakespeare saw . . . The information is gradually unfolded in nine chapters of most excellent reading, which are divided as follows: — Town and District— Historical Notes—Shakespeare's Ancestors—.Childhood— Boyhood—Youth and Courtship—Seeking a Fortune— Manhood and Close of Life—-His Memory. In addition to this, there is general information for visitors, map, copy of, Shakespeare’s will, etc. Nearly every page of this work (crown 4to) is illustrated with half-tone plates from photographs or photograms taken by Mrs. Ward, and are exquisitely fine.
PHOTOGRAPHY ANNUAL.—2s. 6d. London: Iliffe & Son, 3, St. Bride Street. Mr. Henry Sturmey, the editor of this Annual, has, as is his wont, again produced an excellent volume. Its contents are of a voluminous character and of great interest, and from cover to cover it measures 2 little over 14 inches in thickness. It also contains some excellent diagrams and half-tone illustrations.
