Plain Tales from the Hills : 
A COLLECTION OF STORIES BY RUDYARD KIPLING, SECOND EDITION. 
‘There are rattling stories of flirtation and sport, with a good deal of the 
Lever swing; there are funny stories of practical jokes and sells, full of the 
irresponsible vivacity of the youngsters whom such toys delight; and there are 
sad little stories of deeper things, told with no affectation of solemnity, but rather 
more throat-lumping for that.” —Sunzday Times. 
‘© They sparkle with fun; they are full of life, merriment and humour."—

BEING HUMOROUS POEMS OF INDIAN OFFICIALDOM. 
‘« They reflect with light gaiety the thoughts and feelings of actual men and 
women, and are true as well as clever. . . . . Mr. KIPLING achieves the 
feat of making Anglo-Indian society flirt and intrigue visibly before our eyes. 
A ae . His book gives hope of a new literary star of no mean magnitude 
rising in the east.” —Szr W. W. Hunter in ‘‘ The Academy.”’ ‘ 
‘As for that terrible, scathing piece, ‘The Story of Uriah,’ we know of 
nothing with which to compare it, and one cannot help the wretched feeling 
that it is true. . . . . ‘In Spring Time’ is the most pathetic lament of 
an exile we know in modern poetry.’’—Graphic.

advantage of bringing up the subject to the present level of Medical Science.”

tion from the criminal, duties of an Indian Collector. The information is all derived

given." —London Quarterly Review. | . ?
