Jane Austen. By Lady Margaret Sack- 

 \-ille. (Herbert and Daniel. 2s. 

 6d. net.) 



In the splendid appreciation with 

 which Lady Margaret commences the 

 book she tella that she has written 

 not only for those who love Jane 

 Auaten already, but also for those who 

 by some strange chance have not dis- 

 covered her. It is certain that the 

 selection here given from six of her 

 works must drive readers to the books 

 themselves. 



Canute the Great. By T,anrence Mar- 

 cellus T/arson. (G. P. Putnam. Ss. 

 net.) 

 This volume of the story of the 

 Heroea of the Nations is a vivid bio 

 graphical study of Canute, who is 

 paired with Rolf of Normandy for 

 undisputed pre-eminence. The his- 

 torical and the legendary are care- 

 fully distinguished, and the illustra- 

 tions are very helpful. 



A companion volume is Boger of 

 Sicily, by Edmund Ouitis. M.A.Oxon. 

 Roger was certainly a strange figure 

 and his life well worth putting on 

 record. 



Frances Willard; Her Life and Worl\ 

 By Ray Strachey. (Fisher Unwin. 

 5s. net.) 

 Starting with the idea that Miss Wil- 

 lard had been praised overmuch, the 

 writer of this volume has been com- 

 pelled to join in the ohorus of praise. 

 Small wonder! Tlie rising generation, 

 who know little about her, should 

 read this capital account of a tom- 

 boy, who was shy and modest; a 

 womaii poor and of no account, who 

 created a great movement which 

 spread from the United States 

 thTO'Ughout the world, and who pre- 

 ferred semi-starvation to asking for 

 money 'or her devoted labours. 



The Great Acceptance; The Life Story 

 of F. N. Charrington. By Guy 

 Thorne. (Hodder and Stoughton. 

 3s. 6d.) 

 Practice and precept combined is the 

 comment in a nutshell which this wel- 

 come book calls forth. Frederick 

 Charrington has innumerable ad- 

 mirers, but there is a large public 

 which knows only his name and has 

 a vague idea that he renounced a 

 fortune. Guy Thorne has taken away 

 any excuse for our ignorance of the 

 work of one of the remarkable men 

 of our time. 



FtirtJter Remiyiiscences. By Henry 

 Mayers Hyndman. (Macmillaii 

 and Co. Ltd. 15s. net.) 

 Mr. Hyndman's breezy, vigorous writ- 

 ing cannot fail to concentcaits a.tten- 

 tion on these, the reminiscences of a 

 man who has already attained his 

 three score years and ten and who 

 yet, in many years, is still young.

Warm your room 

 not the chimney 



Everyone knows, to their cost, the tremendous amount of coal 

 consumed by the ordinary bar grate, and how little heat is given 

 out in proportion. The reason is that owing to the old-fashioned 

 construction of the bar grate, the heat is wasted in the chimney 

 instead of warming your room. The " HUE " Fire is barless, 

 will burn for kours without attention, and is guaranteed to give 

 out more heat WITH ABOUT HALF THE COAL CON- 

 SUMPTION. It can be adapted to any existing stove without 

 removing the mantelpiece, and your local Decorator can 

 supply and fix the " HUE " Fire from 15/- upwards. 



Insist upon having a "HUE."
