Mr. E. O. Hoppé is admittedly the most finished artist among present-day
photographers. To sit for him is a distinction in itself, and we find
that in the camera portraits included in the volume he has given us a
series of 32 studies of great charm and distinction. The selection is of
wide range, and perhaps its distinguishing characteristic is the capacity
shown by both author and artist to get under the skin of each subject.

PALESTINE PICTURED; or, WHERE HE DWELT
_by_
ALFRED T. SCHOFIELD, M.D., M.R.C.S.E.
_Crown 8vo, cloth. 6/- net._
A graphic and yet simple description of the Holy Land. Short of spending
a long period there and traversing it again and again in leisurely
fashion, it is doubtful if one could gain in any other way so thorough an
understanding of the places, manners and customs as by a study of this
book. The Biblical allusions are so well brought out and illustrated
that one begins to think of the various places mentioned with the same
familiarity that we have with places in our own country. The marked map,
following the footsteps of our Lord, and the forty-three photographic
views, add greatly to the feeling of familiarity.

THE STORY OF ST. PAUL’S LIFE AND LETTERS
_by_
J. PATERSON SMYTH, B.D., Litt.D., LL.D., D.C.L.
_Crown 8vo, cloth. 3/6 net._
This life is by far the most interesting life of St. Paul yet written.
“Put yourself in his place,” is the note struck, and this human note is
sustained throughout. It brings out the personal interest in the life
of St. Paul, from his boyhood, playing on the wharves of Tarsus, to the
day when, a lonely old saint of God, he laid down his tired life at the
headsman’s block in Rome and entered on his wonderful new adventure
in the Hereafter. A special feature is the attempt made to place the
epistles in their proper place in St. Paul’s life, in which the author
has been so successful that they seem to form one harmonious whole.
