SOME PROBLEMS OF EXISTENCE.
By NORMAN PEARSON.
Demy 8vo.7s. 6d. net.
Dealing with such Problems of Existence as the origin of life, spirit and matter, free will, determinism and morality, and the sense of sin, Mr. Pearson lays down as postulates for a theory which philosophy and religion may be able to accept, and which science need not reject—(1) the existence of a Deity; (2) the immortality of man; and (3) a Divine scheme of evolution of which we form part, and which, as expressing the purpose of the Deity, proceeds under the sway of an inflexible order. The author’s method is well calculated to appeal to the general reader, though some of his conclusions as to the past and future of humanity differ considerably from popularly received opinions on the subject.
SIX RADICAL THINKERS.
ByJOHN MacCUNN, LL.D.,
Professor of Philosophy in the University of Liverpool.
Crown 8vo.6s. net.
These brilliant essays possess an exceptional interest at the present moment when Liberal and Radical principles bulk so largely in the political arena. The six main subjects of Professor MacCunn’s volume are Bentham and his Philosophy of Reform, the Utilitarian Optimism of John Stuart Mill, the Commercial Radicalism of Cobden, the Anti-Democratic Radicalism of Thomas Carlyle, the Religious Radicalism of Joseph Mazzini, and the Political Idealism of T. H. Green.
LETTERS FROM THE FAR EAST.
By Sir CHARLES ELIOT, K.C.M.G.,
Author of‘Turkey in Europe,’ ‘The East African Protectorate,’etc.
Demy 8vo. With Illustrations.8s. 6d. net.
This is an exceedingly interesting series of letters on the political and social situation in India, China, Japan, and the Far East generally.
A PICNIC PARTY IN WILDEST AFRICA.
By C. W. L. BULPETT.
Being a Sketch of a Winter’s Trip to some of the Unknown Waters of the Upper Nile.
Demy 8vo. With Illustrations and Map.12s. 6d. net.
The object of the expedition described in this book was to survey the Musha and Boma plateaux, which lie between the River Akobo and Lake Rudolf. It was organized by Mr. W. N. McMillan, an experienced American traveller, and was remarkably successful, though the fact that one of the caravans marched thirty-eight days on half-rations, largely through a country flooded by incessant rain, shows that the excursion was very far from being altogether a picnic. Mounts Ungwala and Naita were ascended, and hundreds of square miles of previously unexplored country were surveyed and mapped. The accounts of the abundance of game will make the sportsman’s mouth water.
A considerable amount of the description of scenery and life on the Nile and Sobat is extracted from the journal of Mrs. McMillan, who accompanied her husband. Many of the illustrations are from drawings made on the spot by Mr. Jessen, cartographer of the expedition.
TIPPOO TIB.
The Story of a Central African Despot.
Narrated from his own accounts by Dr. HEINRICH BRODE.
Demy 8vo. With Portrait.10s. 6d. net.
In the course of a prolonged residence at Zanzibar as consular representative of Germany, Dr. Brode became intimately acquainted with the celebrated adventurer Tippoo Tib, and succeeded in inducing him to write the story of his life. This he did, in Swaheli, using Arabic characters, which Dr. Brode transcribed for translation into German. The material thus supplied by Tippoo Tib has been expanded by Dr. Brode into a remarkable picture of Africa before and during its transition into the hands of the white man.
THE PRINCES OF ACHAIA AND THE CHRONICLES OF MOREA.
A Study of Greece in the Middle Ages.
By Sir RENNELL RODD, G.C.V.O., K.C.M.G., C.B.,
Author of‘Customs and Lore of Modern Greece,’ ‘Feda, and other Poems,’ ‘The Unknown Madonna,’ ‘Ballads of the Fleet,’etc.
2 Volumes. Demy 8vo. With Illustrations and Map.25s. net.
In this masterly work Sir Rennell Rodd deals with a curiously interesting and fascinating subject which has never been treated of in English, though a few scanty notices of the period may be found. It is gratifying to know that the British School in Athens has of late turned its attention to the Byzantine and Frankish remains in the Morea. Meanwhile this book will fill a great blank in the historical knowledge of most people.
THUCYDIDES MYTHISTORICUS.
By F. M. CORNFORD, M.A.,
Fellow and Lecturer at Trinity College, Cambridge.
Demy 8vo.10s. 6d. net.
This is an important contribution to the study of Thucydides. Having attributed the causes of the Peloponnesian War almost entirely to commercial factors, Mr. Cornford shows how Thucydides, free from modern ideas of causation, unfolds the tragedy of Athens, led by Fortune at Pylos, by the Hybris and Infatuation of Cleon and Alcibiades, to the Nemesis of Syracuse. The book will be found interesting by all students of history. All passages from Greek authors are quoted in English in the text, which can be understood without reference to the Greek in the footnotes.
GREEK LIVES FROM PLUTARCH.
Newly Translated by C. E. BYLES, B.A.,
Formerly Exhibitioner of St. John’s College, Cambridge.
Crown 8vo. With Illustrations and Maps.1s. 6d.
This is an entirely new translation abridged from the Greek. Although primarily intended for the use of schools, it should be found acceptable by the general reader.
THE NEXT STREET BUT ONE.
By M. LOANE,
Author of‘The Queen’s Poor.’
Crown 8vo.6s.
Like its predecessor, this book is not only a mine of interesting and amusing sketches of life among the poor, but, in its more serious aspect, a remarkable and most valuable corrective of many widely prevalent and erroneous views about the habits of thought and ethics of the poorer classes.
A HUNTING CATECHISM.
By COLONEL R. F. MEYSEY-THOMPSON,
Author of‘Reminiscences of the Course, the Camp, and the Chase,’ ‘A Fishing Catechism,’and‘A Shooting Catechism.’
Foolscap 8vo.3s. 6d. net.
This, the third of Colonel Meysey-Thompson’s invaluable handbooks, will appeal to hunting men as strongly as the previous volumes did to lovers of rod and gun. The information given is absolutely practical, the result of forty years’ experience, and is largely conveyed in the form of Question and Answer. The arrangement is especially calculated to facilitate easy reference.

A Study of a North Country Town.
By LADY BELL,
Author of‘The Dean of St. Patrick’s,’ ‘The Arbiter,’etc., etc.
Crown 8vo.6s.
In this little book Lady Bell has entered upon a new branch of literature. It is not a novel, but a description of the industrial and social condition of the ironworkers of the North Country.
INDIVIDUAL OWNERSHIP AND THE GROWTH OF MODERN CIVILIZATION.
Being HENRI DE TOURVILLE’S ‘Histoire de la Formation Particulariste,’ translated byM. G. Loch.
Demy 8vo.
The articles which are here presented in the form of a volume were contributed by the author to the French periodicalLa Science Socialeover a period of six years ending in February, 1903. His death occurred within a few days of his completing the work. M. de Tourville, after showing that the transformation of the communal into the particularist family took place in Scandinavia, and was largely due to the peculiar geographical character of the Western slope, traces the development of modern Europe from the action of the particularist type of society upon the fabric of Roman civilization.

THE REMINISCENCES OF LADY DOROTHY NEVILL.
Edited by her Son, RALPH NEVILL.
Demy 8vo. With Portrait.15s. net.
SIXTH IMPRESSION.
There are very few persons living whose knowledge of English Society is, literally, so extensive and peculiar as Lady Dorothy Nevill’s, and fewer still whose recollections of a period extending from the day of the postchaise to that of the motor-car are as graphic and entertaining as hers. In the course of her life she has met almost every distinguished representative of literature, politics and art, and about many of them she has anecdotes to tell which have never before been made public. She has much to say of her intimate friends of an earlier day—Disraeli, the second Duke of Wellington, Bernal Osborne, Lord Ellenborough, and a dozen others—while a multitude of more modern personages pass in procession across her light-hearted pages. A reproduction of a recent crayon portrait by M. Cayron is given as frontispiece.
PERSONAL ADVENTURES AND ANECDOTES OF AN OLD OFFICER.
By Colonel JAMES P. ROBERTSON, C.B.
Demy 8vo. With Portraits.12s. 6d. net.
The phrase ‘a charmed life’ is hackneyed, but it may be used with peculiar appropriateness to describe Colonel Robertson’s military career. ‘The history of my nose alone,’ says the cheery old soldier in his Preface, ‘would fill a chapter,’ and, indeed, not only his nose, but his whole body, seem to have spent their time in, at all events, running a risk of being seriously damaged in every possible way. The book, in fact, is simply full of fine confused fighting and hair-breadth escapes.
Joining the 31st Regiment in 1842, Colonel Robertson took part in the Sutlej Campaign from Moodkee to Sobraon. He was in the Crimea, and throughout the Mutiny he commanded a regiment of Light Cavalry, doing repeatedly the most gallant service. The incidents of life in Ireland and the Ionian Islands during the intervals of peace are worthy of ‘Charles O’Malley,’ and are described with something of Lever’s raciness of touch.
THE AFTERMATH OF WAR.
An Account of the Repatriation of Boers and Natives in the Orange River Colony.
By G. B. BEAK.
Demy 8vo. With Illustrations and Map.12s. 6d. net.
The author, after serving nearly two and a half years in the South African War, was appointed Assistant Secretary of the Orange River Colony Repatriation Department, and subsequently Assistant Director of Relief under the Government. His information is thus not only first-hand but unique. The book is illustrated with some extremely interesting photographs.
‘The book is sure to become a standard work, for it throws a flood of light upon and solves many of the knotty questions of that period which have agitated men’s minds at home and abroad.’—Daily Telegraph.

The late Mr. Haskett Smith was a well-known authority on the Holy Land, and in this book he personally conducts a typical party of English tourists to some of the more important sites hallowed by tradition.
‘The reader is not only charmed by the pleasant experiences and the interesting discussions of the pilgrims, but at the same time he acquires a great deal of information which would otherwise have to be sought in a combination of cyclopædia, “Speaker’s Commentary,” and guide-book.’—Tribune.

POLITICAL CARICATURES, 1906.
By Sir F. CARRUTHERS GOULD.
Super royal 4to.6s. net.
The change of Government, with the consequent variety of political topics, very greatly enhances the attraction of this new volume of cartoons by ‘Sir F. C. G.’ If the increased acerbity of political relations is found to be slightly reflected in these later cartoons, the many fresh and interesting studies are no less happily handled than those produced under the Conservative régime.

The object of this American Mission to the Emperor Menelik was to negotiate a commercial treaty. The Mission was extremely well received, and the expedition appears to have been a complete success. The picture drawn by Mr. Skinner of the Abyssinians and their ruler is an exceedingly agreeable one; and his notes on this land of grave faces, elaborate courtesy, classic tone, and Biblical civilization, its history, politics, language, literature, religion, and trade, are full of interest; there are also some valuable hints on the organization and equipment of a caravan.
WESTERN TIBET AND THE BRITISH BORDERLAND.
By CHARLES A. SHERRING, M.A., F.R.G.S.,
Indian Civil Service; Deputy Commissioner of Almora.
Royal 8vo. With Illustrations, Maps and Sketches.21s. net.
During the last few years Tibet, wrapped through the centuries in mystery, has been effectively ‘opened up’ to the gaze of the Western world, and already the reader has at his disposal an enormous mass of information on the country and its inhabitants. But there is in Western Tibet a region which is still comparatively little known, which is especially sacred to the Hindu and Buddhist, and in which curious myths and still more curious manners abound; and it is of this portion of the British Borderland, its government, and the religion and customs of its peoples, that Mr. Sherring writes.
The book contains a thrilling account by Dr. T. G. Longstaff, M.B., F.R.G.S., of an attempt to climb Gurla Mandhata, the highest mountain in Western Tibet, with two Swiss guides.
LETTERS OF GEORGE BIRKBECK HILL, D.C.L., LL.D., Hon. Fellow of Pembroke College, Oxford.
Arranged by his Daughter, LUCY CRUMP.
Demy 8vo. With Portraits.12s. 6d. net.
Dr. Birkbeck Hill’s ‘Letters’ form, with a few connecting links written by his daughter, an autobiography whose charm lies in its intimate portrayal of a character which was, in its curious intensity, at once learned, tender, and humorous. He wrote as he talked, and his talk was famous for its fund of anecdote, of humour, of deep poetic feeling, of vigorous literary criticism, and no less vigorous political sentiment. As an Oxford undergraduate, he was one of the founders, together with Mr. Swinburne, Prof. A. V. Dicey, and Mr. James Bryce, of the Old Mortality Club. He was intimately connected also with the Pre-Raphaelites. At college, at home, on the Continent, or in America, everywhere he writes with the pen of one who observes everything, and who could fit all he saw that was new into his vast knowledge of the past. His editions of ‘Boswell’s Johnson,’ of ‘Johnson’s Letters,’ and ‘The Lives of the Poets’ have passed into classical works. But that his writings were not exclusively Johnsonian is abundantly shown by such books as the Letters of Hume, Swift, General Gordon, and Rossetti, as well as by his ‘Life of Sir Rowland Hill,’ his ‘History of Harvard University,’ and various collections of essays.

This series of actual Letters written to an actual Godchild on the subject of Confirmation is intended for parents and teachers who either feel that some of the instruction to be derived from the Catechism is obscured by archaism of style and thought, or who desire something in the way of a supplement to the Catechism. It is not intended to take the place of works of formal religious instruction.

These translations were originally printed for private circulation in the autumn of 1884, a few months before the author’s death. They were never published, and for years past the price asked for the book second-hand has been high. It has therefore been decided, with the consent of Munro’s representatives, to reprint the work, so that those who are interested in Latin Verse and in Munro may acquire a copy at a reasonable price.

This book is designed especially to meet the needs of those who have to treat the commoner skin diseases. While giving short descriptions of the rarer forms, the chief attention is bestowed on those more frequently met with. The diagnostic features of the various eruptions are dealt with in detail, in order that they may give help in determining the lines of treatment. The more recent work in clinical pathology, both microscopical and chemical, is for the first time brought into use in an English text-book. The book is freely illustrated with original photographs.

Demy 8vo.8s. 6d. net.
This book opens with a description of the method of obtaining gastric contents, and the estimation of the capacity of the stomach. The various Test Meals employed in diagnosis are next described. The macroscopical examination of the gastric contents and conclusions to be drawn on inspection are discussed, and a short description of the microscopical appearances follows. The chemical analysis of the gastric contents is then given. The Organic Diseases of the Stomach are all separately described, with specimen cases of analysis to illustrate them. The Functional Diseases of the Stomach, which are more frequently met with in ordinary practice than the Organic Diseases, are also very fully given. The chemical methods employed in the investigation of Intestinal Diseases are then described with great fulness, four types of Test Meals being given.

EXTRACT FROM THE PREFACE.
‘To acquire the necessary dexterity to examine a patient systematically so as to overlook nothing, to recognise and put in its proper place the particular pathological condition found, and finally, but chiefly, to treat both the patient and the local abnormality successfully, seem to me the three most important objects of a course of study at a special hospital. This book, which is founded on lectures given at the Throat Hospital with these objects in view, is now published in the hope of helping those who are either attending or have attended a short course of study at special departments or special Hospitals for Diseases of the Throat and Nose....’

This work is a practical text-book of Applied Hydraulics, in which complete technical theories and all useful calculations for the erection of hydraulic plant are presented. It is not a purely descriptive work designed merely for popular use, nor is it an abstruse treatise suitable only for engineers versed in higher mathematics. The book is well illustrated, and is full of Arithmetical Examples fully worked out. In these examples, no knowledge is assumed beyond that of simple arithmetic and the elements of geometry.
