HECTOR GRAEME. Third Thousand Crown 8vo. 6/- 



*,* The outstanding feature of "Hector Graeme" is the convincing picture it 

 gives of military life in India and South Africa, written by one who is thoroughly 

 acquainted with it. Hector Graeme is not the great soldier of fiction, usually 

 depicted by novelists, but a rather unpopular officer in the English army who 

 is given to strange fits of unconsciousness, during which he shows extraordinary 

 psychic powers, ifle is a man as ambitious as he is unscrupulous, with the desire 

 but not the ability to become a Napoleon. The subject matter of the story ie 

 unu-ual and the atmosphere thoroughly convincing. 



jUtn-nins/ Lrader" Provides much excitement and straightforward pleasure. 

 A remarkable exception to ibe usual boring novels about military life." 



BY JAMES BRYCE 



THE STORY OF A PLOUGHBOY. An Autobiography. 



Crown 8vo. 6/- 



*, As will be seen from the title of its parts" The Farm," " The Mansion," 

 " The Cottage "the characters whose passions and interests make the plot of this 

 story are drawn Irom the households of the Labourer, the Farmer and the Squire; 

 the book is therefore an attempt to present country life ia all its important 

 aspects. In this, ugain, it differs from all other novels of the soil in our own or 

 perhaps in any language: its author writes not from book-knowledge or hearsay or 

 even observation, but from experience. He has lived what he describes, and under 

 the power of his icalism readers will feel that they are not so much glancing 

 over printed pages as mixing with living men and women. But the story has 

 interest for others than the ordinary novel-reader. It appeals as strongly to the 

 many earnest minds that are nov concerned with the questions ol Land and 

 Industrial Reform. To such its very faithfulness to life will suggest answers 

 startling, perhaps, but certainly arresting.
