Eldest Son"--have been published in the more convenient form of
one volume, entitled "Plays by John Galsworthy, Second Series."

My First Years as a Frenchwoman 1876-1879
BY MARY KING WADDINGTON, author of "Letters of a Diplomat's
Wife," "Italian Letters of a Diplomat's Wife," etc.
_$2.50 net; postage extra._
The years this volume embraces were three of the most critical in
the life of the French Republic. Their principal events and
conspicuous characters are vividly described by an expert writer
who was within the inmost circles of society and diplomacy--she
was the daughter of President King of Columbia, and had just
married M. William Waddington, one of the leading French
diplomats and statesmen of the time.
Notes of a Son and Brother
BY HENRY JAMES.
_Illustrated. With drawings by_ WILLIAM JAMES. _$2.50 net;
postage extra._
Harvard, as it was in the days when, first William, and then
Henry, James were undergraduates, is pictured and commented upon
by these two famous brothers--by William James through a series
of letters written at the time. The book carries forward the
early lives of William and Henry, which was begun in "A Small Boy
and Others," published a year ago. Among the distinguished men
pictured in its pages are John LaFarge, Hunt, Professor Norton,
Professor Childs, and Ralph Waldo Emerson, who was a close friend
of Henry James, Senior.
North Africa and the Desert
BY GEORGE E. WOODBERRY. _$2.00 net; postage extra._
This is one of that very small group of books in which a man of
genuine poetic vision has permanently registered the color and
spirit of a region and a race. It is as full of atmosphere and
sympathetic interpretation as any that have been written.
Chapters like that on "Figuig," "Tougourt," "Tripoli," and "On
the Mat"--a thoughtful study of Islam--have a rare value and
beauty.
By HUDSON STUCK, D.D. Archdeacon of the Yukon.
The Ascent of Denali (Mt. McKinley)
_With illustrations and maps_ _$1.75 net; postage extra._
The fact that this narrative describes the only successful
attempt to climb this continent's highest mountain peak, and that
the writer led the successful expedition, is enough to give it an
intense interest. But when the writer happens to be as sensitive
as an artist to all the sights and sounds and incidents of his
great adventure, and to be so skilful a writer to convey
everything to the reader, the value and interest of the book are
irresistible.
