Travel and Description continued. 



Round About My Peking Garden. By Mrs. ARCHIBALD 



LITTLE, Author of "Li Hung Chang, His Life and Times," "The 

 Land of the Blue Gown," "Intimate China," "A Marriage in 

 China," etc., etc Fully Illustrated. Demy 8vo, cloth. 



This volume, " a tribute to a time of dalliance in one of China's many pleasant places " 

 as the author describes it, is the more enjoyable because the description of the many 

 walks and excursions in and around Peking are not only full of local colour, but vividly 

 recall the evident enjoyment the writer felt in making them. There are also several ex- 

 quisite bits of word painting: in especial the description of the Western tombs in their 

 forest setting, and the beautiful picture of a typical lady missionary in the chapter some- 

 what curiously named An Interlude of Reflections. Those who know Mrs. Little's style 

 will be prepared for a wealth of pleasant anecdotes, and many curious odds and ends of 

 Chinese lore, but in this volume she also gives many of her graver thoughts. 



RuSSia and ItS Crisis* By Professor PAUL MILYOUKOV. Cloth. 



An account of Russian national ideals, religion, and politics, showing the historical

Russia Under the Great Shadow. B y LDIGI VILLARI, 



Author of "Giovanni Segantini," " Italian Life in Town and Country," 

 etc. With 84 Illustrations. 2nd impression. Demy 8vo, cloth. 



More important, perhaps, in the long run than the actual strategic results of the 

 military operations in the Far East, is the effect which the war is producing on the 

 internal situation of the Russian Empire. The subjects of the Czar, who have slept so 

 long under an Asiatic despotism, are being shaken from their torpor by the war with 

 Japan ; its ill-success has destroyed their confidence in the overwhelming power of the 

 Autocracy, and the economic disasters which it is producing are making the whole 

 nation realise what the struggle is costing and what dangers it may bring about to its 

 prosperity. These results, as yet only beginning to delineate themselves clearly, Mr. 

 Villari, after spending many months in Russia and interviewing numbers of persons of 

 all classes of society, and especially practical men of business, has attempted to describe. 

 His volume will be illustrated with a large number of original photographs showing 

 many sides of Russian life, in two capitals, in the provincial towns, and in the rural 

 districts.
