OUR BOOKING-OFFICE.
(_By Mr. Punch's Staff of Learned Clerks._)
The long-promised _Herbert Beerbohm Tree_ (HUTCHINSON), than which I
have expected no book with more impatience, turns out to be a volume
full of lively interest, though rather an experiment in snap-shot
portraiture from various angles than a full-dress biography.
