SALES EXCEED ONE MILLION COPIES

Morning Post :-" Whether grave or gay, the
author is a raconteur whose imagination and
vivacity are unfailing. Few, moreover, have in
the same degree the versatility which enables her to
provoke peals of laughter and move almost to tears.
The writer is natural, realistic and entertaining."
Yorkshire Post :-" In the novels of Curtis Yorke
there is an abiding charm."

BY CAMEL AND CAR TO THE
PEACOCK THRONE

By E. ALEXANDER POWELL, Author of "The Last
Frontier," "Asia at the Cross Roads," etc. Folding
Map in Colours and Profusely Illustrated.

Demy 8vo. 15s. net

Saturday Review: "Major Powell and his friends showed a fine spirit of enterprise and an innate optimism in undertaking so hazardous a journey. To cross the Syrian desert by camel from Damascus to Kabaissa, to travel thence by train and motor-car to Teheran, to return by the same route to Baghdad, to set out once more northward to Mosul, and then back across the sun-parched desert to Aleppo, would be a venture to daunt the bravest, but this venture Major Powell and his friends undertook and successfully accomplished. They are to be congratulated upon their achieveIt was a journey fraught with incidents, some amusing and some perilous, but all such as to bring a craving for travel, a secret envy, to those who read."

UNDERSTANDING ITALY

By CLAYTON SEDGWICK COOPER, Author of "Understanding South America," etc. Profusely Illustrated. Demy 8vo. 15s. net

Sheffield Telegraph : "Understanding Italy' is by a writer who does understand Italy, not merely as a country with an illustrious past, but a progressive and alert nation, facing the political and industrial problems of the day with all the immemorial vitality and genius of the race. Mr. Clayton Sedgwick Cooper deals discriminatingly with the Fascist movement and, in respect to industry, gives a valuable conspectus of modern Italian energy and resources. He does not ignore the beauty and treasures of Italy and does full justice to it as a living and moving nation."

Newcastle Chronicle: "Understanding Italy' is a capital picture of modern Italy: highly interesting and so well written as to make its reading extremely pleasant."

Glasgow Herald: Very readable, very entertaining, informative

and useful."

Western Morning News: "Of infinite value.”

MEMORIES OF MANY YEARS:
1839-1922

By ARCHBISHOP SETON. Introduction by SHANE
LESLIE, M.A. (Cantab.), Author of "Henry Edward
Manning: His Life and Labours," "Mark Sykes :
His Life and Letters," etc. With Portrait of Author.
Demy 8vo. 15s. net

Daily Dispatch: "It is like making the ‘grand tour,' crowding the celebrities and introductions of 82 years into a few days, to read the charming and thoughtful' Memories of Many Years (1839-1922),' by Archbishop Seton-descendant of the famous and lovely Mary Seton, the Scots Queen Mary's devoted companion. The book is crowded with vignettes of scenes and portraits of people, and especially with penetrating judgments on movements and affairs. It is a book that lives."

Daily Express : "This is a delightful book of memoirs, for surely nobody has ever run through such a gamut of acquaintanceship in two continents as Archbishop Seton. Wonderful Memoirs ! " Nation Athenæum : "A book of considerable charm and humour."

HILL-TOWNS OF THE PYRENEES

By AMY OAKLEY. With over 80 Illustrations from Original Drawings by THORNTON OAKLEY. Demy 8vo. 21s. net Bystander : A delightfully produced volume written by Mrs. Oakley and sumptuously illustrated by drawings from her husband's clever pen. This is no dull geography book, but a live and sometimes even thrilling account of an unconventional tour through the mountains, with a host of good stories and old legends, and a series of vignettes of modern Basque life such as I have not seen before. The author and illustrator between them have certainly managed to produce a book which is as informative as it is entertaining." PLAYING THE GAME: What Mr. Asquith in his book, "The Genesis of the War," does not tell us By E. G. JELLICOE (Gray's Inn).

Demy 8vo. 12s. 6d. net Among other things the book reveals the inner history of facts underlying both British and American Twentieth Century diplomacy and political polity as seen from an Englishman's standpoint. It shows what " playing the game" in Imperialism and Transatlanticism has done for Christianity, Civilisation and the World at large.
