    • Abstract:
      The article presents information on several books. "Yesterday's Burdens," by Robert M. Coates. Fantasy is the literary genre which this work most nearly approaches, although much of it recalls the type of autobiographical nature. Written in a conventional, reiterative, and often quite stereotyped prose, these opening chapters render the mood of sentimental resignation in which the narrator indulges in his idyllic Connecticut retreat. "Foreign Bonds: An Autopsy," by Max Winkler. The unsavory record of much that has occurred in government financing gains a long-needed historical treatment in this volume by Winkler.
