Chats on Household Curios. By Fred W. Burgess. With 94 Illustrations. Cloth, 6s. net. “Mr. Burgess gives much information about such attractive antiques as old glass and enamels, old leather work, old clocks and watches, old pipes, old seals, musical instruments, and even old samplers and children’s toys. The book is, in short, an excellent and comprehensive guide for what one may call the general collector, that is, the collector who does not confine himself to one class of antique, but buys whatever he comes across in the curio line, provided that it is interesting and at moderate price.” Aberdeen Free Press. Chats on Japanese Prints. By Arthur Davison Ficke. With a coloured frontispiece and 56 Illustrations. Cloth, 6s. net. Third Impression. “Mr. Ficke writes with the knowledge of the expert, and his history of Japanese printing from very early times and his criticism of the artists’ work are wonderfully interesting.” Tatler. “This is one of the most delightful and notable members of an attractive series.... A beginner who shall have mastered and made thoroughly his own the beauty of line and the various subtlety and boldness of linear composition displayed in these sixty and odd photographs will have no mean foundation for further study.” Notes and Queries. Chats on Old Clocks. By Arthur Hayden. With a frontispiece and 80 Illustrations. 2nd Ed. Cloth, 10s. 6d. net. “A practical handbook dealing with the examples of old clocks likely to come under the observation of the collector. Charmingly written and illustrated.” Outlook. “One specially useful feature of the work is the prominence Mr. Hayden has given to the makers of clocks, dealing not only with those of London, but also those of the leading provincial towns. The lists he gives of the latter are highly valuable, as they are not to be found in any similar book. The volume is, as usual with this series, profusely illustrated, and may be recommended as a highly interesting and useful general guide to collectors of clocks.” The Connoisseur.

The author has, indeed, presented the reader with a capital working handbook, which should prove a friendly and reliable guide when he goes collecting.” Field. Chats on Royal Copenhagen Porcelain. By Arthur Hayden. With a frontispiece, 56 full-page Illustrations and illustrated tables of marks. Cloth, 10s. 6d. net. “This very beautiful and very valuable book will be eagerly welcomed by lovers of porcelain....

Chats on Old Sheffield Plate. By Arthur Hayden. With frontispiece and 58 full-page Illustrations, together with makers’ marks. Cloth, 21s. net. Old plated ware has, by reason of its artistic excellence and its technique, deservedly won favour with collectors. The art of making plated ware, which originated at Sheffield (hence the name “Sheffield plate”), was continued at Birmingham and London, where a considerable amount of “old Sheffield plate” was made, in the manner of its first inventors, by welding sheets of silver upon copper. The manufacture lasted roughly a hundred years. Its best period was from 1776 (American Declaration of Independence) to 1830 (Accession of William IV). The author shows reasons why this old Sheffield plate should be collected, and the volume is illustrated with many examples giving various styles and the development of the art, together with makers’ marks. Candlesticks and Bye Paths in Curio Collecting. By Arthur Hayden, Author of “Chats on Old Silver,” etc. With a frontispiece and 72 full-page Illustrations. Cloth, 21s. net. Second Impression. “Every collector knows the name of Mr. Arthur Hayden, and knows him for a wise counsellor. Upon old furniture, old china, old pottery, and old prints there is no more knowing judge in the country; and in his latest volume he supplies a notable need, in the shape of a vade-mecum exploring some of the nondescript and little traversed bye-paths of the collector. There was never a time when the amateur of the antique stood more in need of a competent guide.... The man who wishes to avoid the pitfalls of the fraudulent will find much salutary advice in Mr. Hayden’s gossipy pages. There are chests, for example, a fruitful field for reproduction. Mr. Hayden gives photographs of many exquisite examples. There is a marriage coffer of the sixteenth century, decorated with carved figures of Cupid and Hymen, a fine Gothic chest of the fifteenth century, with rich foliated decorations; and a superb livery cupboard from Haddon Hall. From Flanders come steel coffers, with a lock of four bolts, the heavy sides strongly braized together. Then there are snuffers, with and without trays, tinder-boxes, snuff graters, and metal tobacco stoppers. The most fascinating designs are shown, with squirrels, dogs, and quaint human figures at the summit. Fans and playing-cards provide another attractive section. Chicken-skin, delicate, white, The fan has always been an object of the collector’s passion, because of the grace of the article and its beauty as a display. Mr. Hayden shows a particularly beautiful one, with designs after Fragonard, the sticks of ivory with jewelled studs. Then there are watch-stands, a little baroque in design, and table-bells, some of them shaped as female figures with spreading skirts, old toys and picture-books, and, of course, cradles, of which every English farm-house once boasted its local variety. Altogether the book abounds in inviting pictures and curious information, and is certain of a large, appreciative public.” Daily Telegraph. The Fan Book: Including Special Chapters on European Fans of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries. By MacIver Percival, author of “Chats on Old Jewellery and Trinkets.” Fully Illustrated. Demy 8vo, cloth, 21s. net. POETRY THAT THRILLS A COLLECTION OF SONGS FROM OVERSEAS THAT THRILL WITH VIVID DESCRIPTIONS OF THE ADVENTUROUS LIFE IN THE FROZEN NORTH, IN THE OUTPOSTS OF CIVILIZATION AND OF THE HEROISM OF SOLDIERS IN BATTLE SONGS OF A SOURDOUGH. By Robert W. Service. Crown 8vo. Cloth, 4/6 net. Fortieth Impression. Also a Pocket edition. Fcap. 8vo, cloth, 4/6 net. “Of the Canadian disciples of Kipling, by far the best is R. W. Service. His ‘Songs of a Sourdough’ have run through many editions. Much of his verse has a touch of real originality, conveying as it does a just impression of the something evil and askew in the strange, uncouth wilderness of the High North.” The Times. “Mr. Service has got nearer to the heart of the old-time place miner than any other verse-maker in all the length and height of the Dominion.... He certainly sees the Northern Wilderness through the eyes of the man into whose soul it is entered.” Morning Post. RHYMES OF A RED-CROSS MAN. By Robert W. Service. Crown 8vo. Cloth, 4/6 net. Sixth Impression. Also a Pocket edition. Fcap. 8vo, cloth, 4/6 net. “It is the great merit of Mr. Service’s verses that they are literally alive with the stress and joy and agony and hardship that make up life out in the battle zone. He has never written better than in this book, and that is saying a great deal.” Bookman. “Mr. Service has painted for us the unutterable tragedy of the war, the horror, the waste, and the suffering, but side by side with that he has set the heroism, the endurance, the unfailing cheerfulness and the unquenchable laughter.” Scots Pictorial. BALLADS OF A CHEECHAKO. By Robert W. Service. Crown 8vo. Cloth, 4/6 net. Fourteenth Impression. Also a Pocket edition. Fcap. 8vo, Cloth, 4/6 net. “It is to men like Mr. Service that we must look for really original verse nowadays; to the men on the frontiers of the world. ‘Ballads of a Cheechako’ is magnificent.” Oxford Magazine. “All are interesting, arresting, and worth reading in their own setting for their own sakes. They are full of life and fire and muscularity, like the strenuous and devil-may-care fight of a life they describe.” Standard. RHYMES OF A ROLLING STONE. By Robert W. Service. Crown 8vo. Cloth, 4/6 net. Fifteenth Impression. Also a Pocket edition. Fcap. 8vo, Cloth, 4/6 net. “There is real rollicking fun in some of the rhymed stories, and some sound philosophy in the shorter serious poems which shows that Mr. Service is as many steps above the ordinary lesser poets in his thought as he is in his accomplishments.” Academy. “Mr. Robert Service is, we suppose, one of the most popular verse-writers in the world. His swinging measures, his robust ballads of the outposts, his joy of living have fairly caught the ear of his countrymen.” Spectator. THE SPELL OF THE TROPICS. By Randolph H. Atkin. Cloth, 4/6 net. Second Impression. The poems are striking pen-pictures of life as it is lived by those men of the English-speaking races whose lot is cast in the sun-bathed countries of Latin-America. Mr. Atkin’s verses will reach the hearts of all who feel the call of the wanderlust, and, having shared their pleasures and hardships, his poems will vividly recall to “old-timers” bygone memories of days spent in the Land of the Coconut Tree. THE SONG OF TIADATHA. By Owen Rutter. Cloth, 4/6 net. Third Impression. Composed on the familiar metre of “Hiawatha,” “The Song of Tiadatha” (Tired Arthur), an extravaganza written in the highest spirits, nevertheless is an epic of the war. It typifies what innumerable soldiers have seen and done and the manner in which they took it. “This song of Tiadatha is nothing less than a little English epic of the war.” The Morning Post. “Every Army officer and ex-officer will hail Tiadatha as a brother. ‘The Song of Tiadatha’ is one of the happiest skits born of the war.” Evening Standard. SONGS OUT OF EXILE: Being Verses of African Sunshine and Shadow and Black Man’s Twilight. By Cullen Gouldsbury. Cloth, 4/6 net. Fourth Impression. “The ‘Rhodesian Rhymes’ won for their author the journalistic title of ‘The Kipling of South Africa,’ and indeed his work is full of crisp vigour, fire and colour. It is brutal in parts; but its brutality is strong and realistic. Mr. Gouldsbury has spent many years in Rhodesia, and its life, black and white, is thoroughly familiar to him.... Mr. Gouldsbury is undoubtedly a writer to be reckoned with. His verse is informed by knowledge of wild life in open places and a measure of genuine feeling which make it real poetry.” Standard. FROM THE OUTPOSTS. By Cullen Gouldsbury. Cloth, 4/6 net. Third Impression. “Mr. Cullen Gouldsbury’s collections of his verses are always welcome, and the last, ‘From the Outposts’ is as good as its predecessor. No one has quite Mr. Gouldsbury’s experience and gift.” Spectator. “It has been well said that Mr. Gouldsbury has done for the white man in Africa what Adam Lindsay Gordon in a measure accomplished for the Commonwealth and Kipling triumphantly for the British race, and he certainly is good to read.” Field. THE HELL-GATE OF SOISSONS and other Poems. (“The Song of the Guns.”) By Herbert Kaufman. Cloth, 4/6 net. Fifth Impression. “A singular gift for expressing in verse the facts, the heroism, even the humours of war; and in some cases voices its ideals with real eloquence.” The Times. “Mr. Kaufman has undoubtedly given us a book worthy of the great hour that has brought it forth. He is a poet with a martial spirit and a deep, manly voice.” Daily Mail. LYRA NIGERIA. By Adamu. (E. C. Adams). Cloth, 4/6 net. Second Impression. “Mr. E. C. Adams (Adamu) is a singer of Nigeria, and it can safely be said he has few, if any, rivals. There is something in these illustrations of Nigerian life akin to the style of Kipling and Service. The heart of the wanderer and adventurer is revealed, and in particular that spirit of longing which comes to all ... who have gone out to the far-lands of the world.” Dundee Advertiser. SUNNY SONGS. Poems. By Edgar A. Guest. Cloth, 4/6 net. In America Mr. Guest is an extraordinarily popular writer of verses, though this is his first introduction in book form to the British public. He brims over with sound sense and tonic cheeriness. He is keenly sensible of the humour of domestic life, but is deeply sympathetic with the associations which combine in the word “Home.” Hence he is read by women with amusement and pleasure. During the war his poem, “Said the Workman to the Soldier,” circulated by the hundred thousand. Like BÉranger and all successful poets, he is essentially lyrical; that is to say, there is tune and swing in all his verses. RICHARD MIDDLETON’S WORKS POEMS AND SONGS (First Series). By Richard Middleton.

OTHER WORKS BY RICHARD MIDDLETON THE GHOST SHIP AND OTHER STORIES. THE WAITING WOMAN and other Poems. By Herbert Kaufman.

This volume, in short, is the work of a genuine poet and artist.” Aberdeen Free Press. “A versifier of great virility and power.” Review of Reviews. BY W.B. YEATS AND OTHERS POEMS. By W. B. Yeats. Second edition. Large Crown 8vo, Cloth, 10/6 net. Ninth Impression. “Love songs, faery themes, moods of meditation, scenes of legendary wonder ... is it possible that they should become so infinitely thrilling, touching, haunting in their fresh treatment, as though they had never been, or poets had never turned to them? In this poet’s hands they do so become. Mr. Yeats has given us a new thrill of delight, a new experience of beauty.” Daily Chronicle. OTHER POEMS BY W. B. YEATS COUNTESS CATHLEEN. A Dramatic Poem. Paper cover, 2/- net. THE LAND OF HEART’S DESIRE. Paper cover, 1/6 net. WHY DON’T THEY CHEER? By R. J. C. Stead. Cloth, 4/6 net. “Before the war Mr. Stead was known to Canadians as ‘The Poet of the Prairies.’ He must now be ranked as a ‘Poet of the Empire.’ ... There is a strength, a beauty, a restrained passion in his war verses which prove his ability to penetrate into the heart of things such as very few of our war poets have exhibited.” Daily Express. SWORDS AND FLUTES. By William Kean Seymour. Cloth, 4/- net. “Among the younger poets Mr. Seymour is distinguished by his delicacy of technique. ‘Swords and Flutes’ is a book of grave and tender beauty expressed in lucent thought and jewelled words. ‘The Ambush’ is a lyric of mastery and fascination, alike in conception and rhythm, which should be included in any representative anthology of Georgian poetry.” Daily Express.

THE ADVANCE OF SOUTH AMERICA A FEW NOTES ON SOME INTERESTING BOOKS DEALING WITH THE PAST HISTORY, PRESENT AND FUTURE POSSIBILITIES OF THE GREAT CONTINENT When in 1906 Mr. Fisher Unwin commissioned the late Major Martin Hume to prepare a series of volumes by experts on the South American Republics, but little interest had been taken in the country as a possible field for commercial development. The chief reasons for this were ignorance as to the trade conditions and the varied resources of the country, and the general unrest and instability of most of the governments. With the coming of the South American Series of handbooks the financial world began to realize the importance of the country, and, with more settled conditions, began in earnest to develop the remarkable natural resources which awaited outside enterprise. Undoubtedly the most informative books on the various Republics are those included in The South American Series, each of which is the work of a recognized authority on his subject. “The output of books upon Latin America has in recent years been very large, a proof doubtless of the increasing interest that is felt in the subject. Of these the ‘South American Series’ is the most noteworthy.” The Times. “When the ‘South American Series’ is completed, those who take interest in Latin-American affairs will have an invaluable encyclopÆdia at their disposal.” Westminster Gazette. “Mr. Unwin’s ‘South American Series’ of books are of special interest and value to the capitalist and trader.” Chamber of Commerce Journal. Full particulars of the volumes in the “South American Series,” also of other interesting books on South America, will be found in the pages following. THE SOUTH AMERICAN SERIES 1 Chile. By G. F.

His journey lay over countries in which an increasing interest is being felt. Practically speaking, he may be said to have started from Panama, wandered through Colombia, spending some time at Bogota, and then going on to Ecuador, of which Quito is the centre. Next he traversed the fascinating country of the Incas, from the borders of which he entered Bolivia, going right across that country till he approached Brazil. He passed through Paraguay, cut through a corner of the Argentine to Uruguay, and so to the River Plata and the now well-known town of Buenos Ayres.” Country Life. In the Wilds of South America: Six Years of Exploration in Colombia, Venezuela, British Guiana, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil. By Leo E. Miller, of the American Museum of Natural History. With 48 Full-page Illustrations and with Maps. Cloth, 21/-net. This volume represents a series of almost continuous explorations hardly ever paralleled in the huge areas traversed. The author is a distinguished field naturalist—one of those who accompanied Colonel Roosevelt on his famous South American expedition—and his first object in his wanderings over 150,000 miles of territory was the observation of wild life; but hardly second was that of exploration. The result is a wonderfully informative, impressive and often thrilling narrative in which savage peoples and all but unknown animals largely figure, which forms an infinitely readable book and one of rare value for geographers, naturalists and other scientific men. The Putumayo: The Devil’s Paradise. Travels in the Peruvian Amazon Region and an Account of the Atrocities committed upon the Indians therein. By E. W. Hardenburg, C.E. Edited and with an Introduction by C. Reginald Enock, F.R.G.S. With a Map and 16 Illustrations. Demy 8vo, Cloth, 10/6 net.

With a Map and 88 Illustrations. Cloth, 7/6 net. “Mr. Harry Franck is a renowned vagabond with a gift for vivid description.... His record is well illustrated and he tells his story in an attractive manner, his descriptions of scenery being so well done that one feels almost inclined to risk one’s life in a wild race dwelling in a land of lurid beauty.” Liverpool Mercury. “Mr. Franck has combined with an enthralling and amusing personal narrative a very vivid and searching picture, topographical and social, of a region of much political and economic interest.” Glasgow Herald. Mexico (Story of the Nations). By Susan Hale. With Maps and 47 Illus. Cloth, 7/6 net. Third Impression. “This is an attractive book. There is a fascination about Mexico which is all but irresistible.... The authoress writes with considerable descriptive power, and all through the stirring narrative never permits us to lose sight of natural surroundings.” Dublin Review. Things as they are in Panama. By Harry A. Franck. With 50 Illustrations. Cloth, 7/6 net. “Mr. Franck writes from personal knowledge, fortified by the aptitude of a practical and shrewd observer with a sense of humour, and the result is a word-picture of unusual vividness.” Standard. “A sparkling narrative which leaves one wondering again why the general reader favours modern fiction so much when it is possible to get such vivacious yarns as this about strange men and their ways in a romantic corner of the tropics.” Daily Mail. The Spell of the Tropics. Poems. By Randolph H. Atkin. Cloth, 4/6 net. Second Impression. The author has travelled extensively in Central and South America, and has strongly felt the spell of those tropic lands, with all their splendour and romance, and yet about which so little is known. The poems are striking pen-pictures of life as it is lived by those men of the English-speaking races whose lot is cast in the sun-bathed countries of Latin-America. Mr. Atkin’s verses will reach the hearts of all who feel the call of the wanderlust, and, having shared their pleasures and hardships, his poems will vividly recall to “old-timers” bygone memories of days spent in the land of the Coconut Tree.

The Illustrations and Maps are an attractive feature of the volume, which are strongly bound for constant use. 67 Volumes. Cloth, 7s. 6d. net each. “It is many years since Messrs. T. Fisher Unwin commenced the publication of a series of volumes now entitled ‘The Story of the Nations.’ Each volume is written by an acknowledged authority on the country with which it deals. The series has enjoyed great popularity, and not an uncommon experience being the necessity for a second, third, and even fourth impression of particular volumes.” Scotsman. “Probably no publisher has issued a more informative and valuable series of works than those included in ‘The Story of the Nations.’” To-Day. “The series is likely to be found indispensable in every school library.” Pall Mall Gazette. “An admirable series.” Spectator. “Such a universal history as the series will present us with in its completion will be a possession such as no country but our own can boast of. Its success on the whole has been very remarkable.” Daily Chronicle. “There is perhaps no surer sign of the increased interest that is now being taken in historical matters than the favourable reception which we believe both here and in America is being accorded to the various volumes of ‘The Story of the Nations’ as they issue in quick succession from the press. More than one volume has reached its third edition in England alone.... Each volume is written by one of the foremost English authorities on the subject with which it deals.... It is almost impossible to over-estimate the value of the series of carefully prepared volumes, such as are the majority of those comprising this library.... The illustrations make one of the most attractive features of the series.” Guardian. A NEW VOLUME IN “THE STORY OF THE NATIONS” NOW READY BELGIUM FROM THE ROMAN INVASION TO THE PRESENT DAY By EMILE CAMMAERTS. With Maps and Illustrations. Large Crown 8vo. Cloth, 12/6 net. A complete history of the Belgian nation from its origins to its present situation has not yet been published in this country. Up till now Belgian history has only been treated as a side issue in works concerned with the Belgian art, Belgian literature or social conditions. Besides, there has been some doubt with regard to the date at which such a history ought to begin, and a good many writers have limited themselves to the modern history of Belgium because they did not see in olden times sufficient evidence of Belgian unity. According to the modern school of Belgian historians, however, this unity, founded on common traditions and common interests, has asserted itself again and again through the various periods of history in spite of invasion, foreign domination and the various trials experienced by the country. The history of the Belgian nation appears to the modern mind as a slow development of one nationality constituted by two races speaking two different languages but bound together by geographical, economic and cultural conditions. In view of the recent proof Belgium has given of her patriotism during the world-war, this impartial enquiry into her origins may prove interesting to British readers. Every opportunity has been taken to insist on the frequent relationships between the Belgian provinces and Great Britain from the early middle ages to the present time, and to show the way in which both countries were affected by them. Written by one of the most distinguished Belgian writers, who has made a specialty of his subject, this work will be one of the most brilliant and informing contributions in “The Story of the Nations.
