THE LIFE OF THE RIGHT HON. 

 CECIL J. RHODES. 



By the Hon. Sir LEWIS MICHELL, M.V.O. 



New Popular Edition. One Volume. Large crown 8vo. js. 6d. net. 



This important and highly successful work has been reduced to 

 the limits of a single volume by dispensing with such portions of the 

 original as it seemed possible to omit while retaining all that is of 

 permanent value in the biography of the man who is perhaps the 

 greatest of modern Englishmen. How well the author achieved his 

 work as a biographer has been fully testified by all shades of opinion 

 in the press. His success may be summarized in the words of the 

 eminent critic who wrote : '' Sir Lewis Michell's lucid and practical 

 exposition of Rhodes's character and policy is good to read, and no 

 Englishman can turn its pages without a quickened pride that 

 Rhodes's great name is compatriot with his own." 



CHILDREN OF DON. 



By T. E. ELLIS. 



With a Photogravure Frontispiece by S. H. SI ME. 



One volume. Crown 8vo. 2S. 6d. net. 



Many hopes were raised this year by the production at the London 

 Opera House of " Children of Don," by T. E. Ellis and Mr. Joseph 

 Holbrooke. It was generally felt that the collaboration of Lord 

 Howard de Walden as librettist with a musician whom Herr Nikisch 

 considered '' one of the most talented composers living," would result 

 in that successful English opera which the public has so eagerly 

 awaited ever since the failure of Sir Arthur Sullivan's unfortunate 

 " Ivanhoe." Popular interest will doubtless be further stimulated 

 by the publication of Lord Howard de Walden's full libretto, in 

 which, as the Academy points out, the author has tapped a new and 

 native source of legend and advanced a step at least towards the 

 enterprise of writing English opera.

By Dr. H. MONTAGU BUTLER, 



Master of Trinity College, Cambridge.

 Canning, John Wesley, William Wilberforce, Lord Shaftesbury,
