CHARLES G. TRUMBULL
Anthony Comstock, Fighter
Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net $1.25.
An authorized biography of this great fighter for purity.
The story is one of life-and-death adventure, moral and
physical heroism, and incomparable achievement. During
the thirty years in which Mr. Comstock has been working for
the suppression of vice he has destroyed over 43 tons of vile
books, 28,425 pounds of stereotype plates, two and a half
million obscene pictures and 12,945 negatives. The detailed
account of how all this was done is a most thrilling and remarkable
story.
FRANK J. CANNON—DR. GEORGE L. KNAPP
Brigham Young and His Mormon Empire
Illustrated, 8vo, cloth, net $1.50.
Ex-Senator Cannon's personal acquaintance with this apostle
of the Mormon Church and his knowledge of the religion
and the people gained by having been born and brought up
in the heart of Mormondom, give more than usual authority
and interest to this biography. This life story of the man
who founded a Mohammedan kingdom in a puritan republic
sets forth in true perspective, in impartial and unbiased
manner, the facts about one of the most romantic and interesting
characters in American history.
FRANCES WILLARD
Frances Willard: Her Life and Her Work
By Ray Strachey. With an Introduction by Lady Henry Somerset. Illustrated, 8vo, cloth, net $1.50.
A notable new life of the great temperance advocate written
by an English woman from an entirely new standpoint.
Mrs. Strachey, the granddaughter of the author of "A
Christian's Secret of a Happy Life," had immediate access
to Miss Willard's letters, journals and papers, and the benefit
of her grandmother's advice and knowledge.
Israel Zangwill says of the book, "A masterpiece of condensation, an adequate biography of perhaps the greatest woman America has produced. Nobody can read this book without becoming braver, better, wiser."
MRS. S. MOORE SITES
Nathan Sites:
Introduction by Bishop W. F. McDowell. Oriental Hand-Painted Illustrations, gilt top, net $1.50.
This is one of the notable books of the year. China looms
large in current political and religious interest, so that this
life story of one who for nearly half a century has been
closely identified with social and religious reform in that
country must have a large place in current literature.
