THE GURTVYERSITY OF CHICAGO PRESS 
The American Newspaper. By James Edward Rogers. 
228 pages, 16mo, cloth; postpaid $1.10 
Histories of journalism are few, and most of those that we 
have are out of date, for the modern newspaper changes rapidly. 
The newspaper of today is vastly different from that published 
twenty years ago. There are few books dealing with the history 
of journalism in the different countries of Europe, and until 
recently there was none that described the modern growth of 
the press. The story of the modern American newspaper is yet 
to be told; practically nothing has been written of the recent 
wonderful development of the modern press, especially along 
financial and mechanical lines. This is the field of Mr. Rogers’ 
original and illuminating book. 
Philadelphia Ledger. While the work in its conclusions is a cold, dispassion- 
ate survey of the subject, it contains chapters that are aglow with the 
romance of journalism. 
San Francisco Chronicle. A good book. Its first sentence rivets the inter- 
est, which never slackens until the last page is turned. 
The Armenian Awakening. By Leon Arpee. 
240 pages, 12mo, cloth; postpaid $1.36 
Beginning with the “Dark Ages” of Armenian history, the 
author traces the religious struggles of this people from the tume 
of the introduction of Christianity into their midst by Gregory 
the Illuminator. 
It is a matter of common knowledge that political forces have 
been a strong factor in the persecution to which this people bas 
iodically been subjected. All the sidelights which the con 
dition of European politics could throw on the situation have 
been employed by the author, and he leaves the reader with @ 
clear understanding of the various motives for the frequent out- 
— against the Armenians that have aroused the Christian 
world. 
New York Times. A learned and minute history. 
The Interior. The whole story is intensely interesting. 
American Historical Review. A most valuable contribution to the history 
of the Armenians.
