The change of Government, with the consequent variety of political topics, very greatly enhances the attraction of this new volume of cartoons by ‘Sir F. C. G.’ If the increased acerbity of political relations is found to be slightly reflected in these later cartoons, the many fresh and interesting studies are no less happily handled than those produced under the Conservative régime. * * * * * NEW FICTION. _Crown 8vo._ =6s.= _each._ THE SUNDERED STREAMS.

An Account of the First Mission sent by the American Government to the King of Kings. By ROBERT P. SKINNER, COMMISSIONER TO ABYSSINIA, 1903-1904; AMERICAN CONSUL-GENERAL; FELLOW OF THE AMERICAN GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY; SOCI DOU FELIBRIGE. _Demy 8vo. With numerous Illustrations and Map._ =12s. 6d. net.= The object of this American Mission to the Emperor Menelik was to negotiate a commercial treaty. The Mission was extremely well received, and the expedition appears to have been a complete success. The picture drawn by Mr. Skinner of the Abyssinians and their ruler is an exceedingly agreeable one; and his notes on this land of grave faces, elaborate courtesy, classic tone, and Biblical civilization, its history, politics, language, literature, religion, and trade, are full of interest; there are also some valuable hints on the organization and equipment of a caravan. * * * * * WESTERN TIBET AND THE BRITISH BORDERLAND. By CHARLES A. SHERRING, M.A., F.R.G.S., INDIAN CIVIL SERVICE; DEPUTY COMMISSIONER OF ALMORA. _Royal 8vo. With Illustrations, Maps and Sketches._ =21s. net.= During the last few years Tibet, wrapped through the centuries in mystery, has been effectively ‘opened up’ to the gaze of the Western world, and already the reader has at his disposal an enormous mass of information on the country and its inhabitants. But there is in Western Tibet a region which is still comparatively little known, which is especially sacred to the Hindu and Buddhist, and in which curious myths and still more curious manners abound; and it is of this portion of the British Borderland, its government, and the religion and customs of its peoples, that Mr. Sherring writes.
