GILBERT AND RIVINGTON, LD., ST. JOHN'S HOUSlt, CLERKENWEL"L, LONDON. RUPERT PRINCE By EVA SCOTT Late Scholar of Somerville College, Oxford. With Photogravure frontispiece. New a.nd cheaper Edition. Larga Crown 8V0, 6s. "The book is well' written in a good style, is throughout most 'moderate and accurate, and is a worthy record of the gallant and true-hearted Rupert of the Rhine."-Literature. "This well-illustrat~d and well-printed book is a very distinct addition to our historical biographies. It is strange that no serious life of the gallant Prince Rupert should ,have been written till now, but no one could have' written with fuller knowledge or more genuine enthusiasm than Miss Eva Scott. She has ignored few if any of the manifold sources of information, prin,ted and manuscript, from which the chequered history of the great soldier can be gleaned, and the result of work which must have been both assiduous and intelligent is a really admirable and complete historical study_" -Guardian. . "A final word as to this book itself. It is well got up, well indexed, and well illustrated. There is a preface which gives a general view of the material used, and a series of careful footnotes that will aid the student."-Prof. Yorke Powell in the Morning Post. "Miss Scott, on the other hand, has not only made herself familiar with Rupert and his surroundings, but is possessed of­ what is seldom to be found-a rare talent for biographical present­ ment. Not only is there no overburdening of the narrative with documentary evidence, but everything of that nature which is introduced strengthens the author's argument instead of distract~ng the attention of the reader."-Mr. S. R. Gardiner in the English Historical Review. "Though she properly makes a hero of Rupert, she is, never blind to his failings nor does she extol his virtues without the warrant of documentary evidence. In brief, her monograph is a well-considered, impartial piece of work."-Spectator.

ARCHIBALD CONSTABLE & Co., WESTMINSTER. The Household of the Lafayettes

By EDITH SICHEL

With Photogravure frontispiece. New Popular Edition. Large Crown 8vo, 6s.

".In the' Household of the Lafayettes' Miss Sichel has given a very vivid a.nd picturesque study of French life during the revolutionary period, mainly from the political and social point of view. Her style is on the whole well suited to her subject. . . . The book is a fascinating one, and of far greater interest than the majority of novels. We are carried along from chapter to chapter in very good company, and on very easy wings."-Morning Post. "Miss Sichel possesses a lively and agreeable style, characterized by a refreshing absence of stock phrases. She does not disgust us with the obvious, or harass us with the unexpected i and her general observations-always a good test of an author's wits-are shrewd and happily expressed." -Pal! Mat! Gazette. "The conversations between the First Consul and the General reproduced in this most interesting chapter of an in-. teresting book shed the most instructive light on the character of two of the greatest, probably the greatest Frenchmen that either century had produced. In her laborious and sympa­ thetic biography of the lesser of the two Miss Sichel has evolved a work which for picturesque yet faithful detail, should rank highly among the records of the most eventful period in French History."-Observe,.

"We should have liked to quote many passa~es, pictur­ esque touches of daily life, remarks of real political insight, clear views of the people and the tendencies of the age. But we must reserve space for a few words about Miss Sichel's introduction, which is one of the best and truest pieces of writing that we have met with for a long time."-Spectator. 2 The Kingdom of the Yello\v Robe

New Popular Edition. Large Crown Svq, 6s.

.. A pleasantly written little book, popular and light in style. The author, who was connected with the Siamese Education Department, is at his best in the first few chapters, wherein he describes the scenes of the city and the domestic life of the people. His educational duties enabled him to note some specially interesting facts with regard to the ex­ traordinary aptness and in~oence which Siamese children as a rule display. • • ."-Times.

.. Of the quaint courtship customs in the s~ae land where there are no old maids, and of many other curious things, we have, alas! no room to tell It is with a feeling of regret that we put down this pleasant book, and take leave of so charming and interesting a people as that which inhabits the land of the Yellow Robe. The book is fully illustrated by .ur. E. A Norbury and from photograp~ which add greatly to its interest. It is a book to be read both for entertainment and instrnction."-SLJames's Budgel. .. Here is a book of which I can speak with unstinted praise. It is not often that I find myself longing to get back to any book, unless it be a nore! of extraordinary power ; but I had this sensation with regard to this volume. It is a - book difficult to drop from the first moment it is taken in hand, and 'one to which the reader returns with real delight. It is partly, one must admit, because there is mu~ fascina­ tion in the subject, but it is also because the narrative is so simple, lucid, satisfying."-T. P.

"There is, perhaps, not another living Alpinist-unless we except Mr. Coolidge, who contributes a valuable precis of the topo-. graphy-who could have combined the requisfte knowledge with physical capacity for the task. . . .

"This book. in which Major Waddell sets forth the results of his investigation of the Himalayas, will be appreciated by geographers as a valuable contribution to our limited knowledge of a little­ explored region.

By F. WARRE CORNISH

Crown 8vo, 6s.

« No more agreeable picture of a clergyman has been drawn since' The Vicar of Wakefield' No more sympathetic or humorous treatment of a provincial society has been pub­ lished since 'Cranford.' I t is only the form of these two books which suggests comparison, for' Sunningwell' stands by itself and owes nothing to anyone model."-Speaker.

« This is a scholarly, well-written, and interesting book, not without a good deal both of' humour and of pathos."­ Matlchester Guardian. "There can be little doubt that the author presents a truthful picture of the ecclesiastical life of the last generation; the work is one, moreover, that in an age of hurried book­ making deserves recognition by reason of its thoughtful and scholarly character."-Moming- Post.

'" SunningweU' is a book into the making of which much shrewd and humorous observation and much cultured and vigorous thought have gone, and it is a book worth reading­ even worth buying."-Scotsman.

" The views put forward throughout the volume, whether or not the writer's own, are always worth considering, even when we dissent from them-certainly they cannot be lightly put aside. And the book is excellent reading, for it is full., of vigorous and weighty. sayings and full of humour too."..... Guardian. The Taming of the Jungle

By C. W. DOYLE

The Cover specially designed by].. T. NETTLESHIP. 3s. 6d.

'" The Taming of the Jungle' is one of the most striking books of Indian life that we have seen since Mr. Kipling produced his

C Plain Tales from the Hills,' and it does not suffer by comparison with the work that made Mr. Kipling famous. Indeed, if Dr. Doyle had been first in the field, we venture to think that Mr. Kipling's work would have been adjudged le~s good than this later effort."-Literature.

cc One needs no previous knowledge of this folk of the Terai, away there under the Himalayas, to appreciate the insight and observation which characterise every stroke of the charming sketches. It would be altogether unfair to say that the author owes his inspira­ tion to Mr. Kipling. He speaks from long and close experience; and, what is better sti1~ his note is his own. • . . In a brilliant illustration by Mr. Nettleship, full of fire and movement, the beasts of the jungle are seen careering across the back of the book. Tbe covers, in fact, have been drawn as well as any huntsman could do it."-Punch.

CC The book reflects the romance of the jungle and the thoughts and customs of an uncultured race, endowed with many admirable characteristics and some of the qualities of barbarism, in a manner that deserves appreciative recognition. The author has evidently lived among the people and closely studied their ways, so that, while the picture that he presents is engaging, it also conveys a sense of' verisimilitude."-Morning Post.

cc I am impelled to say a word in warm praise of the extremely pleasant little book of Indian stories, without caring a fig for the purely academic question as to whether they would have been put forth exactly as they stand had Mr. Kipling never lived. Dr. Doyl& knows the folk of the Terai intimately; he has the power of srinning a good story out of the good stuff with which his memory is stored."-T. P. O'Connor, in M. A. P. 26 Janice Meredith A S tor y 0 f t h ~ Am eric a n R e vb 1 uti 0 n By PAUL LEICESTER FORD Crown 8vo, 6s. " Mr. Ford, who is already a distinguished American writer, is greatly to be congratulated on a very delightful novel, which, no less from its historical than for its literary merit, will considerably add to his reputa­ tion."-The Daily News. cc The story is an excellent and carefully executed romance of love and war."-Spectator. ' , "Janice and her girl friends are delightful."-Literature. " Mr. Ford has the right feeling for romance; he knows how to bring his reader into the t.hick of the excitement and give him the right thnll of personal participation in the struggle, and he keeps his grip on ,the reader's attention through a long and interesting book."-The Speaker.
