So far as is possible in limited space this book seeks to portray the man as he lived upon earth--a struggling, ambitious, kindly man, caught up into the noblest of causes and revealing both in heart and mind the great qualities of democratic leadership. THE CHARM OF LONDON By Sophie Cole. With 8 Illustrations from Photographs. Crown 8vo. 6s. net. Miss Sophie Cole, who writes novels of London Life which lovers of London welcome, has, in this volume, given us a series of sketches of bits of old London. They are chosen haphazard, and characterised by the personal touch which should appeal to those who have an adventurous love of exploring the alleys and courts of the great city, its dim old churches and historic houses. "THE CHARM OF LONDON" is not of the guide book order, although it may serve that purpose for anyone with an afternoon to spare and the need of an object for an outing. The claims of London are so inexhaustible and each claim so alluring that the writer had to make a more or less indiscriminate choice in the matter of subjects. The book is written in the form of letters, and Miss Cole puts her reflections on the places visited into the mouth of the "Honourable George," who writes to a friend the accounts of his rambles with his oddly chosen companion "Mrs. Darling." One day it is Chelsea they visit, another Fleet Street and the City, another Mayfair, The Charter House, or the Foundling Hospital ... the loquacious George acting the part of cicerone to that unconscious humorist, the Cockney Mrs. Darling. The result is these letters, which reveal the Honourable George as a man of unconscious humour, an inveterate old gossip, a dreamer of dreams, and, incidentally, a charming advocate of the "lost art." NERVES AND THE NERVOUS By Edwin L. Ash, M.D., B.S., M.R.C.S. Crown 8vo. 5s. net. A distinguished physician once said that he had found "NERVES AND THE NERVOUS" most useful in helping some of his patients to carry on and not lose heart when they were passing through a period of nervous debility. Gratified that in its original form this little book thus achieved the object for which it was written, the Author now hopes that this new and largely re-written Edition will find still wider field of usefulness.
