Flinders Petrie. EGYPTIAN DECORATIVE ART. By
W. M. FLINDERS PETRIE, D.C.L. With 120 Illustrations, Crown

8v0. 35. 6d.
A book which deals with a subject which has never yet been seriously treated.

Flinders Petrie. EGYPTIAN TALES. Edited by W. M.
FLINDERS PETRIE, [Illustrated by TRISTRAM ELLIS. Crown 8vo.
35. 6d.
A selection of the ancient tales of Egypt, edited from original sources, and of great

Southey. ENGLISH SEAMEN (Howard, Clifford, Hawkins,
Drake, Cavendish). By Rosrert SourHey. Edited, with an
Introduction, by DAVID Hannay. Crown 8v0. 6s.

This is a reprint of some excellent biographies of Elizabethan seamen, written by
Southey and never republished. They are practically unknown, and they de-
serve, and will probably obtain, a wide popularity.

Waldstein, JOHN RUSKIN: a Study. By CHARLES WALD-
STEIN, M.A., Fellow of King’s College, Cambridge. With a Photo-
gravure Portrait after Professor HERKOMER. ost 8v0. 55.

Also 25 copies on Japanese paper. Demy 8vo. 215.

This is a frank and fair appreciation of Mr. Ruskin’s work and influence—literary
and social—by an able critic, who has enough admiration to make him sym-
pathetic, and enough discernment to make him impartial.

Henley and Whibley. A BOOK OF ENGLISH PROSE,
Collected by W. E. HENLEY and CHARLES WHIBLEY, Cr. 8v0. 65.
Also 40 copies on Dutch paper, 21s. et.

Also 15 copies on Japanese paper. 425. met.

Acompanion book to Mr. Henley’s well-known ‘Lyra Heroica.’ It is believed that
no such collection of splendid prose has ever been brought within the compass of
one volume. Each piece, whether containing a character-sketch or incident, is
complete in itself. The book will be finely printed and bound.

GLADSTONE. By A. F. Rossins. With Portraits. Crown
8vo. 65.

A full account of the early part of Mr. Gladstone’s extraordinary career, based on
much research, and containing a good deal of new matter, especially with regard
to his school and college days.

Baring Gould. THE DESERTS OF SOUTH CENTRAL
FRANCE. ByS. Barinc GouLp. With numerous Illustrations by

F. D. BEDFoRD, S. HuTTON, etc. 2 vols. Demy 8vo. 325.

This book is the first serious attempt to describe the great barren tableland that
extends to the south of Limousin in the Department of Aveyron, Lot, etc., a
country of dolomite cliffs, and cafions, and subterranean rivers. The region is
full of prehistoric and historic interest, relics of cave-dwellers, of medizval
robbers, and of the English domination and the Hundred Years’ War. The
book is lavishly illustrated.
