FROM PILLAR TO POST. By Lt.-Col. H. C. Lowther, D.S.O., Scots Guards. Illustrated. 15s. net. [Third Impression.

“His chapters are so full of good things that ‘From Pillar to Post’ should prove one of the reminiscence-books most in demand this season.”—Daily Telegraph.

“Colonel Lowther has written a very delightful book which, from its very unpretentiousness, impresses the mind with a sense of actuality. His careless yarns about the war have more of the real ring about them than acres of florid and bombastic description. We can only urge everyone to beg, borrow, or steal the book and read it.”—Evening Standard.

MY LIFE STORY. By Emily, Shareefa of Wazan. Fully Illustrated. 12s. 6d. net.

“This is a very remarkable book, and one that should interest alike those who are fascinated by the romance of reality and those who are always glad to learn about other races from those possessed of intimate knowledge.”—Daily Telegraph.

MY ADVENTURES IN THE CONGO. By Marguerite Roby. With Illustrations and Map. 12s. 6d. net.

“A brilliant exposure of humanitarian humbug. After reading the book I have taken every means in my power to test the good faith of the writer. She is a woman whom I cannot describe otherwise than as a born leader. Read the book and you will know some of the qualities required for leadership.”—Vanoe in the Referee.

THE KING’S CARAVAN. Across Australia in a Waggon. By E. J. Brady. With Illustrations and Map. 12s. 6d. net.

“Mr. Brady’s account conveys one of the strongest and clearest impressions of life in New South Wales and Queensland that we have read.”—Standard.

THE GREAT PLATEAU OF NORTHERN RHODESIA. By Cullen Gouldsbury and Herbert Sheane. With 40 pages of Illustrations and a Map. 16s. net.

“The most minute, thorough, and interesting description that has yet been written of Northern Rhodesia. We thoroughly recommend this book.”—Standard.

REMINISCENCES OF THE YUKON. BY the Hon. Stratford Tollemache. With Illustrations. 12s. 6d. net.

ROUGHING IT IN SOUTHERN INDIA. BY Mrs. M. A. Handley. Illustrated. 12s. 6d. net.

“The scope of Mrs. Handley’s book is quite inadequately indicated by the title; it really forms a welcome addition to our knowledge of the vast and complex subject of India in that it contains the impressions of a keen and shrewd observer on many Indian races, their manners, customs, religions, virtues, vices, and idiosyncrasies, as well as admirable descriptions of scenery, vivid accounts of hunting incidents and travel episodes, and instructive little asides on the political and economical, social and racial problems of the great peninsula. We recommend the book thoroughly; it is well written in a style that is as attractive as it is sound, and the matter is worthy of all consideration.”—Standard.

THE WILDS OF PATAGONIA. A Narrative of the Swedish Expedition to Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, and the Falkland Islands in 1907-1909. By Carl Skottsberg, D.Sc., etc. With Illustrations and Maps. 15s. net.

“Few books of the kind that I have read in recent years are half as interesting. Instead of bloody records of the butchering of defenceless beasts (for it should never be forgotten that even tigers and rhinoceroses are practically without defence against quick-firing guns) we have an interesting account of plants, stones, natural history, and scientific problems, all set down by a young, well-educated and adventurous man. The book reads like what Captain Cook’s adventures might have been had they been written by Sir Joseph Banks, and still preserved Cook’s charm.”—Mr. R. B. Cunninghame Graham in the Saturday Review.

ACROSS THE BRIDGES. A Study of Social Life in South London. By Alexander Paterson. With Preface by the Bishop of Southwark. New and Cheaper Edition. Cloth, 2s. net; Paper, 1s. net.

“An extraordinary valuable book on the life of the children of the poor in South London. In its way it is the most remarkable work seen for years.”—Evening News.

“It is a book that every M.P., every country and town councillor, everyone who plays, or aspires to play, any part in public life, ought to be compelled to read several times over.”—Daily Mail.

“It has the interest of the most thrilling story. No one can read the book unmoved or uninterested.”—Westminster Gazette.

Miss Loane’s Books on the Lives of the Poor.

Miss Loane was a district nurse; she lived among the poor and for the poor; she knows the society of the poor from the inside, yet she comes in from the outside, consequently she sees closely enough to descry details accurately. There are no volumes of statistics, however precise, and no books about poor relief, however true to history, which can teach us what Miss Loane has learned.

MIRACLES OF THE NEW TESTAMENT. A Study of Evidence. By the Rev. J. M. Thompson, Fellow of Magdalen College, Oxford. 3s. 6d. net.

The importance of this work may be gauged from the fact that Dr. Sanday has thought it worth while to devote a recent sermon, preached in the University Church at Cambridge, to meeting its arguments.

THE FAITH OF AN AVERAGE MAN. By the Rev. C. H. Matthews, M.A., Author of “A Parson in the Australian Bush,” etc. 3s. 6d. net.

This is a complete edition of Surtees’ glorious work, illustrated by the one artist of the day who is pre-eminently fitted to do justice to it. The tale of the immortal Jorrocks and his Hunt is to-day the most popular classic work on fox-hunting, and Mr. Cecil Aldin is unquestionably the most popular sporting artist. He has entered heart and soul into the spirit of the work, and the excellence of his pictures proves that they were inspired by enthusiasm for his subject.

NEW AND CHEAPER EDITION.

SCOTTISH GARDENS. By the Right Hon. Sir Herbert Maxwell, Bart. With 32 Coloured Plates from Pastel Drawings by Miss M. G. W. Wilson, Member of the Pastel Society and of the Scottish Society of Artists. New Edition. Medium 8vo. 7s. 6d. net.

THE PERFECT GENTLEMAN. A Guide to Social Aspirants. Compiled from the Occasional Papers of Reginald Drake Biffen. By Harry Graham, Author of “Lord Bellinger,” “The Bolster Book,” etc. Illustrated by Lewis Baumer. 6s.

In this volume the author of “Lord Bellinger” and “The Bolster Book” provides his readers with much excellent, if somewhat frivolous, advice upon a variety of interesting social topics, ranging from Art to Table-Manners, from Social Intercourse to Foreign Travel, from Dancing to Country-House Visiting. The author’s lively style should recommend the work, not only to aspirants after social success, but also to every lover of humour. The value of these amusing essays is enhanced by the presence of some sixty clever drawings by Mr. Lewis Baumer, the famous Punch artist.
