THE MEMORIES OF DEAN HOLE.

A delightful record of a busy and distinguished life.

THE PSALMS IN HUMAN LIFE. R. E. Prothero.

No modern book on a religious subject has enjoyed a wider popu larity than this. It is the history of how the Psalms have consoled, inspired, helped, and solaced mankind through the ages.

WILD LIFE IN A SOUTHERN COUNTY. Richard Jefferies.

A volume of fascinating nature studies.


LIFE OF GLADSTONE. Herbert W. Paul.'

By far the best short biography of this statesman. Not only good history, but from its charm of style an admirable piece of literary portraiture.

THE FOREST. Stewart Edward White.

Of the new type of travel literature, written by men who live close to the heart of the wilds, the " Forest" is in many ways the best.

THE GOLDEN AGE. Kenneth Grahame.

A classic of child-life which has had no rivals since "Alice in Wonderland." It is a work of positive genius in its insight into the mind of a child and of the world as it appears to the eye of childhood.

THE SIMPLE ADVENTURES OF A MEMSAHIB. Sara Jeannette Duncan.

As readable as any romance, and gives a genuine insight into the conditions of English and native life in India.
