G. Gibbard Jackson! 



THE WORLD'S AEROPLANES AND AIRSHIPS. " In this 

 volume the author has endeavoured to give some of the remarkable 

 achievements of the airmen of the world, with particulars of the machines 

 upon which those achievements were made." " Cork Examiner." 



HOBBIES FOR BOYS. The thirty-seven chapters in this book coyer 

 a tremendous amount of ground, and the boy who cannot find something 

 worth while in these pages will be a rarity. 



TRIUMPHS AND WONDERS OF MODERN ENGINEERING. 



Bridges, tunnels, ships, motor cars and aeroplanes, have all exceeded the 

 wildest dreams of their inventors, and their development is fully dealt 

 with in this book, which is also profusely illustrated with photographs 

 of all the wonders of engineering. 



BRITISH RAILWAYS. It is the romantic side of our railways that 

 has been given particular attention here. The setbacks and victories, 

 the mistakes, and failures to appreciate what lay before them, the constant 

 efforts to more successful workings all these are the things which matter. 



THE ROMANCE OF EXPLORATION. There can be few more 

 romantic subjects than exploration, and in this volume the author tells 

 the story of the great explorers and the miracles of discovery that they 

 have achieved. 



PASTIMES, HOBBIES AND SPORTS FOR BOYS. The present 

 age is largely one for outdoor sports and recreations and in this volume 

 this important fact has not been overlooked. There are hobbies for every 

 purse and for every boy. 



FROM POST BOY TO AIR MAIL. The story of the Post Office 

 is not so well known as that of our railways, shipping, motors and aircraft. 

 Possibly it is less exciting, yet it is one of great tevelopments from very 

 small beginnings. 



Frank C. Bowen 



SHIPS WE SEE. This book is intended to show the unfailing interest 

 and very frequent romance in every type of ship that floats from record- 

 breaking liner to barge, from mighty battleship to submarine, from the 

 graceful racing yacht to the uncouth dredger. 



F. Reid Corson 



THE ATLANTIC FERRY IN THE TWENTIETH CENTURY. 



This book comes at an opportune moment, for with the record-breaking 

 maiden voyage of the German liner " Europa," a new era of competition 

 has begun on the Atlantic. It sets before us a picture of the Atlantic 

 passenger services as they are to-day. 



Rear-Admiral Sir S. Eardley Wilmot 



OUR NAVY FOR A THOUSAND YEARS. With additional chap- 

 ters on the Navy in the Great War by Captain A. C. Dewar. 



This is a most attractively written history of the British Navy, telling, 

 as it does, the story of Britain's triumphs on the sea. All British battles 

 arc described and the book is an epic of courage and adventure.
