Zangwill, Louis
Fiction
Mr. Miltoun's new book of travel "_en automobile_" is the record of
hundreds of miles of motoring through regions rich in beautiful views,
in strange costumes, and quaint peoples, whose pictured and narrated
charms form a volume of exceptional attractiveness.
The trip is across seven frontiers, through the British Isles, France,
Belgium, Holland, and Germany, and contains much of historical sentiment
and romance that could only have been gleaned by leisurely travellers.

few of which have been published before. Mr. Rossetti's "Reminiscences"
are very complete, dating from his birth in London, 1829, down to the

The Western Avernus.
By MORLEY ROBERTS.
Crown 8vo, cloth gilt. Price 3s. 6d.
"All who think of going to the far West of America or British
Columbia, would do well to read this book carefully before booking
their passage."--_To-Day._
"These powerful sketches of life in the Western States of America are
written from first-hand knowledge, and are memorable pictures of a
period which has largely passed away."--_Echo._
"This story of his wanderings and hardships in Western America reads
like a novel--even like a novel by Mr. Roberts himself. As a picture
of earlier days in British Columbia, it should soon be
invaluable."--_St. James's Gazette._
