BIOGRAPHY
_DAVID LIVINGSTONE_
The Personal Life of David Livingstone
By W. Garden Blaikie, D.D. Complete Authorized Edition, with
Portrait and Map. _International Leaders' Library._ Cloth, (postage
10c.), net 50c.
For fifteen years this book has remained the Standard Life of
Livingstone. The book is of especial interest just now when all the
world is observing the Centennary of Livingstone's birth.
"After all the years that have intervened it still remains the most
complete, authentic and inspired of all the biographies of
Livingstone."--_The Bookman._
_FRANCES WILLARD_
Frances Willard: Her Life and Her Work
By Ray Strachey. With an Introduction by Lady Henry Somerset.
Illustrated, 8vo, cloth, net $1.50.
A notable new life of the great temperance advocate written by an
English woman from an entirely new standpoint. Mrs. Strachey, the
granddaughter of the author of "A Christian's Secret of a Happy Life,"
had immediate access to Miss Willard's letters, journals and papers, and
the benefit of her grandmother's advice and knowledge.
Israel Zangwill says of the book, "A masterpiece of condensation, an
adequate biography of perhaps the greatest woman America has produced.
Nobody can read this book without becoming braver, better, wiser."
_MRS. S. MOORE SITES_
Nathan Sites:
With an Introduction by Bishop William F. McDowell. Oriental
Hand-Painted Illustrations. 8vo, cloth, gilt top, net $1.50.
This is one of the notable books of the year. China looms large in
current political and religious interest, so that this life story of one
who for nearly half a century has been closely identified with social
and religious reform in that country must have a large place in current
literature. The book is more than ordinarily notable also because of its
profuse and beautiful illustrations.

By Mrs. Emma Richardson Wharton. Illustrated, 12mo, gilt top,
cloth, net $1.25.
A biography of a pioneer missionary of the F. C. M. S., written by a
devoted wife who shared the experiences of her husband in a long service
in India and Australia. It is a life of unusual interest and an
important addition to the annals of modern missionary effort.
_ROBERT E. SPEER, D. D._
The Foreign Doctor: "The Hakim Sahib"
