INDIVIDUAL OWNERSHIP AND THE GROWTH OF MODERN CIVILIZATION.
Being HENRI DE TOURVILLE’S ‘Histoire de la Formation Particulariste,’
translated by M. G. LOCH.
_Demy 8vo._
The articles which are here presented in the form of a volume were
contributed by the author to the French periodical _La Science Sociale_
over a period of six years ending in February, 1903. His death occurred
within a few days of his completing the work. M. de Tourville, after
showing that the transformation of the communal into the particularist
family took place in Scandinavia, and was largely due to the peculiar
geographical character of the Western slope, traces the development of
modern Europe from the action of the particularist type of society upon
the fabric of Roman civilization.

THE REMINISCENCES OF LADY DOROTHY NEVILL.
Edited by her Son, RALPH NEVILL.
_Demy 8vo. With Portrait._ =15s. net.=
SIXTH IMPRESSION.
There are very few persons living whose knowledge of English Society
is, literally, so extensive and peculiar as Lady Dorothy Nevill’s,
and fewer still whose recollections of a period extending from the
day of the postchaise to that of the motor-car are as graphic and
entertaining as hers. In the course of her life she has met almost
every distinguished representative of literature, politics and art, and
about many of them she has anecdotes to tell which have never before
been made public. She has much to say of her intimate friends of an
earlier day--Disraeli, the second Duke of Wellington, Bernal Osborne,
Lord Ellenborough, and a dozen others--while a multitude of more
modern personages pass in procession across her light-hearted pages.
A reproduction of a recent crayon portrait by M. Cayron is given as
frontispiece.
