ORIGINAL EDITION OF LOTUS BUDS CONTAINING FIFTY PHOTOGRAVURE ILLUSTRATIONS. -------------- Cloth Boards, 14s. 6d. net ( post free , 15s.). -------------- "THE MOST STRIKING MISSIONARY BOOK EVER PUBLISHED." Her Majesty Queen Alexandra graciously accepted a copy. "The feature of the book is fifty photogravure illustrations from photographs specially taken of the children. Many of these—indeed, all of them—are very charming. Some of them are mere babies, others of larger growth, but in each case the photographer has succeeded in presenting pictures which will elicit high admiration. The laughing faces, curly hair, and fine physical development of the little Indians, make photographs exceedingly attractive. Indeed, we have never seen a more 'taking' series of children of the Orient.... The book will interest not only supporters of missions but all lovers of children."—The Westminster Gazette. "The photogravure illustrations—fifty in number—are perfect as works of art. Some are pictures of scenery; most are characteristic representations of the children. All are full-page."—British Weekly. ";... the beautiful little faces depicted in the photogravures which adorn the volume. There are fifty of these photogravures in the book, the major portion being of children, and we regard it as extremely improbable that more splendid pictures are to be found in any other work."—Baby. "The most wonderful photographs."—Contemporary Review. "We have seldom seen more attractive illustrations than those of the Indian children which are here reproduced."—East and West. "They are the finest photographs of children we have ever seen, and beautifully produced."—The Record. "We must, in conclusion, compliment all concerned in the manner in which this appeal for the children has been issued—the author, the artist, and the publishers (Messrs. Morgan & Scott Ld.), having combined to produce in 'Lotus Buds' a fine piece of work."—The Publishers' Circular. ——————— MORGAN & SCOTT LD., 12, Paternoster Buildings, London, E.C.

Press, Madras:—"In 'Things as They Are' are pictured by pen and camera some things as they are. It is all the more needful now when so many are deceived, and are being deceived, as to the true nature of idolatry, that people at home who give and pray should be told plainly that what Paul wrote about idolaters in Rome and Corinth is still true of idolaters in India." "The account of native life, of the customs of the people, of the few pleasures they enjoy, and the many sorrows that oppress them, is as accurate as it is lucid and entertaining. It will be well to give this book studious attention; it is so completely sincere and so free from prejudice; and there are many excellent illustrations after photographs."—Literary World.
