Service to Warrant Officer in the Royal Navy (1780–1817), told in his
own words. Edited by Colonel Spencer Childers, R.E., C.B.
Demy 8vo. 10s. 6d. net.

"Worth a dozen of the ordinary memoirs with which the market is flooded. For
it is a genuine 'human document,' a revelation of the thoughts and doings of a typical
English sailorman during the most stirring years in our naval history. . . We have
found the book delightful reading."—Spectator.

". . . Such excellent stuff, and in such racy, straightforward English. . . . Un-
commonly good reading. It makes us think of some of Captain Marryat's pictures
of what they did at sea in the brave days of old."—Standard.

ROUND ABOUT THE NORTH POLE. By
W. J. Gordon. With many Woodcuts and other Illustrations by
EDWARD WHYMPER. Medium 8vo. 15s. net.

"The illustrations are excellent, and so are the maps. We do not know of any
book covering so wide a range of exploration equally well. Not only is this volume
full of attractive information, but also of stirring adventure, some stories of triumph,
but more of failure and despair."—Sheffield Independent.

A WOMAN'S WAY THROUGH UNKNOWN
LABRADOR. By Mrs. Leonidas Hubbard, Junior. With Map,
Portraits, and other Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 10s. 6d. net.

"Graphic narrative and descriptive power and close observation illuminate its
pages. It is distinguished, moreover, by the fact that Mrs. Hubbard pursued and
achieved, with rare tenacity, courage, and singleness of purpose, a definite objec-
tive."—Evening Standard.

FROM PEKING TO MANDALAY. A Journey
from North China to Burma through Tibetan Ssuch'uan and Yunnan.
By R. F. Johnston, M.A., F.R.G.S., District Officer and Magistrate,
Wei-hai-wei. With numerous Illustrations and Map. Demy 8vo.
15s. net.

"No praise is too high. . . . Written with learning, authority, and enthusiasm.
. . . Mr. Johnston's work is one in a thousand, and however many others may be
disregarded, this should be read, at least by those who care for the judgments of a
man who has brought to bear in remote parts of the Chinese Empire a full knowledge
of Chinese characters and the Chinese language."—Spectator.

FROM PEKING TO SIKKIM: Through the
Ordos, the Gobi Desert, and Tibet. By Count De Lesdain. With
Map and Illustrations based on the Author's Surveys and Photographs.
Demy 8vo. 12s. net.

"He gives us an account of the most extraordinary honeymoon the world has
ever known, and the modesty of the hardened traveller, combined with the lucid and
picturesque style, makes it one of the most absorbingly interesting books of travel
published for a long time."—Evening Standard.

THE INNER LIFE OF THE UNITED STATES.
By Monsignor Count Vay de Vaya and Luskod, Author of
"Empires and Emperors." Demy 8vo. 12s. net.

"An exhaustive study of national qualities and characteristics, and represents
'the harvest of a quiet eye' intent on studying motor forces rather than their
products. . . . Undoubtedly an authoritative contribution to our knowledge of the
United States of to-day."—Sunday Times.
