There can be no greater inspiration and pleasure for lovers of
Stevenson and his work than in the diary of his wife, written
during their cruise in 1890, with no thought of publication, but,
as she says, “to help her husband’s memory where his own diary
had fallen in arrears.” It is full of vivid descriptions of
strange characters, both native and white, and also gives most
fascinating glimpses of Stevenson himself which are a delightful
addition to our knowledge of Stevenson, as they have never before
been given to the public in any way.
_Fully illustrated from photographs taken during the trip.

Memories
By JOHN GALSWORTHY
This is a charmingly sympathetic biographical sketch of a dog—a
cocker spaniel that came into the author’s possession almost at
birth and remained with him through life. It has none of the
imaginative exaggeration common in modern animal stories—records
nothing improbable at all. But the author’s insight and his power
of interpretation individualize the little spaniel and bring him
into the reader’s intimate sympathy.
_Illustrated with four full-page colored illustrations and
a large number in black and white by_ MAUD EARL. _$1.50

The End of the Trail
By E. ALEXANDER POWELL, F.R.G.S.
A narrative of the most remarkable journey ever made by
automobile on this continent—a narrative upon which are strung
descriptions of the climate, customs, characteristics, resources,
problems, and prospects of every State and province between Texas
and Alaska in such a manner as to form the only comprehensive and
recent volume on the Far West.

The British Empire and the United States
A Review of Their Relations During the Century of Peace
Following the Treaty of Ghent, by WILLIAM ARCHIBALD
DUNNING. With an Introduction by the RIGHT HONORABLE
VISCOUNT BRYCE and a Preface by NICHOLAS MURRAY BUTLER
This is the psychological moment for the appearance of a book
which explains the century of peace between Great Britain and the
United States. When nearly every world power except the United
States is at war, the history of our relations with a country,
one of whose dominions borders ours for a distance of 3,000
miles, cannot help being intensely interesting and helpful to an
understanding of war and peace and their underlying causes.
