	"Unpublished Reviews" by Ellis Parker Butler from Bookman
		This book, written by our great faunal naturalist and exponent of the strenuous life, whose hunting trip into Britain aroused such great interest, is sure to meet with an immense sale among those who love stories of adventure or who are interested in sport, science, literature or art.
		Baron Munchhausen, who has already established a reputation for careful attention to details in his Travels and Adventures in Russia (Wagner and Blotz, Dusseldorf), gives us in his new volume a scientific study of the Moon and her peoples, the whole written in a reserved tone.
		In fact, the only adverse criticism possible is that a man of greater imagination might have made the work somewhat more interesting.
