_Punch._--'I have seldom met a volume of more pronounced "heart
Interest" than "Paris Waits." Not only are her pen-pictures remarkably
vivid and realistic, but the camera has also helped.'
_Times._--'It is a very familiar tale that is told in these pages, yet
it gains a new pathos, a deeper significance from the simple yet
eloquent way it is told.'
_Daily Mail._--'A noteworthy book. It relates in detail the story of
those tragic days.'
War and Lombard Street.
By HARTLEY WITHERS. Author of 'The Meaning of Money,' 'Poverty and
Waste,' &c.
_Times._--'Carried out with the same happy touch of literary simplicity
and wit, combined with an expert knowledge of his subject, which has
given distinction and popular value to his preceding books. Nothing
could be clearer or more enlightening for the general reader.'
_Morning Post._--'In brief but most attractive language it deals with
the historic financial events of the past six months. A most fascinating
resume of the financial events of the crisis up to date.'
_Daily News._--'Mr. Withers knows all the machinery of the money market,
and he has a lucid style which makes matters plain normally very
mysterious and technical to the layman.'
The Tollhouse.
By EVELYN ST. LEGER, Author of 'The Shape of the World,' 'The Blackberry
Pickers.'
_Times._--'An appealing and humorous picture of the life of an
old-fashioned English village in war time.'
_Scotsman._--'This charming short novel.'
The Spirit of England.
A Series of Papers written in 1914 and 1915.
By the Right Hon. GEORGE W. E. RUSSELL, Author of 'Collections and
Recollections,' &c.

up by the way. It is always thoughtful and stimulating.'
_Globe._--'This very Interesting and suggestive book.'
Life of John Viriamu Jones.
By Mrs. VIRIAMU JONES.
_Pall Mall Gazette._--'This Life of the first Vice-Chancellor of the
University of Wales is very well done, and gives us an admirable
portrait of a singularly earnest, strenuous, and lovable nature.'
_Times._--'This fascinating volume.'
_South Wales Daily News._--'Will be largely read, not only in the
Principality, but far beyond its confines ... deeply interesting.'
The Minor Horrors of War.
By Dr. A. E. SHIPLEY, F.R.S., Master of Christ's College, Cambridge.
This book deals with various insect and other pests which cause disgust,
discomfort, and often disease amongst our troops now fighting in all
quarters of the globe.
_Country Life._--'A book which gives a good deal of very necessary
information in an entertaining manner.'
_Medical Officer._--'It may be studied with advantage in barracks or
billets, in the tropics or the trenches.'
The System of National Finance.
By E. HILTON YOUNG, M.P.
_Morning Post._--'The book should become a permanent addition to the
literature of the subject, the more so as there is no other which deals
with the Nation's finance in the same practical manner.'
