_PRESS OPINIONS_
SCOTSMAN.--“An admirable, succinct and clear account of the mechanism of
a typical petrol car. Contains as much information as the ordinary owner
of a motor is likely to want.”
ABERDEEN FREE PRESS.--“An exceedingly exhaustive account of how the
motor works. The machinery is described with the utmost clearness. It
should prove of the utmost value to all motorists who are not practical
mechanics.”
BIRMINGHAM POST.--“His work is very valuable. In addition it is a very
dainty volume, nicely printed, illustrated, and bound.”
MORNING POST.--“In any case the book will help inexperienced enthusiasts
to run their cars straight and to keep them in order.”
MOTOR-CAR WORLD.--“The book is the most satisfactory work on motor-cars
which we have perused. In the last two of these chapters Mr. Mecredy
gives many valuable hints on the care of cars, how to prevent trouble,
and how to remedy defects when they do occur. The book is profusely
illustrated by means of both photographic reproductions and diagrams.”

NEW FICTION
GALAHAD JONES. A Tragic Farce. By ARTHUR H. ADAMS. Crown 8vo, 6s.
⁂ Galahad Jones is a middle-aged bank clerk, with a family. One day, on
his way home, a letter falls to his feet from the balcony of a house he
is passing. It is addressed “To You,” and on reading it he discovers
that he is requested to meet the writer in the garden of the house at 10
o’clock that night. In a spirit of knight-errantry he decides to do so,
and learns that the writer--a young girl--is kept practically in prison
by her father, because of her affection for a man of whom he does not
approve. The chivalry of Galahad Jones plunges him into many
difficulties and leads to some very awkward and extremely amusing
situations.
JOAN OF THE HILLS. A Novel by T. B. CLEGG, author of “The Love
Child,” “The Wilderness,” “The Bishop’s Scapegoat.” Crown 8vo, 6s.
