Mature Studies in Berkshire" by John
Coleman Adams is one Of those books
which may be said to be written around
the pictures. The Illustrations are all
handsome photographers from original
photographs by Arthur Scott, Of scenes in
western Massachusetts,, and it is perfectly
evident that the accompanying essays were
made to fit the Illustrations. For all that
they are very entertaining and the book
to one who is at all acquainted with the
scenery OF Berkshire, will prove a most in
teresting one. 1t is a handsome gift book
for the library Of almost any nature-lover
The author evidently Travelled through
the region which he describes, on a bicy-
Gle for the most part, and enjoyed every
rod Of his journey. The style of his es-
says is graceful and pleasing, and uncon-
ventional to a degree. 1t is that OF one
who loves TO gossip with and about nature.

Although the author brings out the
good points of the American cause he
also shows the colonals as for the most
part uneducated and uncouth in their
ways, and gives full value to the early vic
tories of the British regulars The stormy
days of the Revolution have never before
been pictured with such realism and accu-
racy. The scene changes continually
showing both the British and colonial
camps, and depicting some of the Difficult
ties military and political, against which
Washington had to struggle. In fact. real
