INDIA'S NATION BUILDERS
BY D.N. BANNERJEA
7s. 6d. net.
At a time when the movement in favour of "self-determination" is almost
world-wide, and is especially active in India, this book comes as a
welcome exposition of the ideals which have inspired the great leaders
of Indian thought. It is not a mere statement of India's claim to
self-government, but a sympathetic study of eleven leaders whose
influence and personality have gradually led to that development of
India which will make self-government possible. The influence of Western
thought--in particular of Christianity--is carefully traced throughout,
together with its bearing on social and other problems in India in
India.

PRESIDENT WILSON
HIS PROBLEMS AND HIS POLICY
BY H. WILSON HARRIS, M.A.
Crown 8vo, 256 pp. New and Revised Edition.
Portraits and Maps. 6s. net; paper covers, 2s. 6d. net.
New chapters added which bring the record up to the date of the

"The purpose of this work is not to amuse but to instruct;
to instruct us mainly with regard to those aspects of Mr.
Wilson's political outlook which concern the newspaper
readers of the moment."--_The Times_.
"How many, even among educated people, can tell you offhand
how an American President is elected, what is the difference
between a Republican and Democrat, or what is the position
of the Governor of a State? Well, it will not be Mr. Harris'
fault if the reader does not know how to answer these and
kindred questions at the same time that he is following the
fascinating life-story of Woodrow Wilson."--_Methodist
Times._
