TWO GOOD SPANISH BOOKS 



From the press of Sir Isaac Pitman & 

 Sons, Ltd., London and New York, we 

 have received a copy of two little hand- 

 books entitled "Spanish Business Letters" 

 by E. AlcConnell, and "Spanisli Commer- 

 cial Phrases," which are very moderately 

 priced. The first named is a practical 

 handbook (second series), consisting of 48 

 pages containing examples of the most 

 usual class of commercial correspondence. 

 The book presupposes a knowledge of 

 Spanish, no unnecessary space lieing taken 

 up with the English translation, but there 

 are numerous marginal notes in English 

 explanatory of the more idiomatic words 

 and phrases. The book of "Spanish Com- 

 mercial Phrases," as its name indicates. 

 gives examples of phrases applicable to 



general commercial correspondence, such 

 as replies to inquiries, execution of orders, 

 quotations, letters of credit, remittances, 

 etc., etc., as well as phrases of particular 

 anplication to various lines of manufacture. 

 In this book the English equivalent is given 

 below the Spanish. The book, wliich con- 

 sists of 32 pages, also contains a list of 

 Spanish ablireviations. To those desiring 

 to acquaint themselves with idiomatic Span- 

 ish commercial correspondence these books 

 will be found helpful. 



Dr. Desvernine the Cuban minister to 

 the United States may not return to Wash- 

 ington. It is known that he accepted the 

 post with great reluctance in the first place 

 and that he is already extremely anxious 

 to give it up and renew bis old law practice.
