Southwestern Historical Quarterly

The Association acknowledges receipt of Volume 67 of the
Proceedings of the Massachusetts Historical Society, 1941-44.
It contains twenty articles on historical subjects by various
authors together with a list of officers and members.
The University of Colorado has published in honor of George
F. Reynolds a volume named Elizabethan Studies and Other
Essays. George F. Reynolds was for forty years head of the
department of English and speech at the University of Colo-
rado. While his main interest was in the field of Elizabethan
literature, the essays are not limited to Elizabethan subjects.
This is a tribute to his many-sided personality.
Six of the essays have to do with speech and teaching. The
remaining thirty-eight range from studies on Chaucer's Cressida
through Gower, Marlowe, Shakespeare, Milton, Hobbes, Smol-
lett, Edmund Burke, Whitman, to Robert Frost. These essays
are of high literary quality.
The Texas State Historical Association has received Volume
XXVIII of Indiana Historical Collections. The title is Indiana
Public Opinion and The World War, 1914-17. The author, Cedric
C. Cummins, in the preface states that "Indiana approximates
an average of America and closely resembles the composite that
the various corners of our country might present could they be
brought together and intermingled." Indiana public opinion,
therefore, is a fair measure of that of the country at large. The
work is carefully documented and includes an appendix, a
bibliography, and an index.
