REFERENCE WORK

Harriet Lloyd Fitzhugh, Percy K. Fitzhugh, and William Morris. Revised and enlarged edition, Grosset & Dunlap, New York, 1950. Contents copyright 1935, special contents copyright 1949. Entries average about a page in length, and contemporary figures appear in an addendum section. Julius Caesar inexplicably has two entries in the first section, one under C and a totally different one under J. Four names -- Richard E. Byrd, Herbert Hoover, Benito Mussolini, and Franklin D. Roosevelt -- appear in both sections.
