Book Reviews

This list is organized alphabetically by the last name of the author of the work reviewed. A number of the citations are incomplete, most likely because they were culled from Holmes' scrapbooks of clippings, which often omitted the title of the publication in which the review appeared and the exact date of publication. However, where possible an approximate year has been indicated, which will enable interested users to locate reviews in other reference tools.
