MR. T. FISHER UN WIN'S 



Fiction continued. 



By Louis BECKE. Crown 8vo. [RED CLOTH 



Tom Gerrard. 



LIBRARY.] 



Mr. Becke here gives a vivid portrayal of Australian life and adventure in the 

 " sixties." The scene of the tale is in the torrid regions of North Queensland, and Tom 

 Gerrard, the bachelor cattle squatter, and his little orphaned niece Mary, are the 

 principal characters in a novel that depicts with the author's usual skill derived from 

 local knowledge and experience a country that, although a part of the Empire, has been 

 too little written about. The love story of Kate Fraser and her hard-riding, big-hearted 

 wooer, Gerrard, is delightful to read. 



Three DukeS. By G. YSTRIDDE. and Impression. Crown 8vo. 

 fRED CLOTH LIBRARY.] 



As a description of every day life among the Russian upper classes this book is 

 of particular interest at the present time. It is the story of a pretty English girl who goes 

 as governess in the family of an eccentric and grim Russian noble. 



The Memoirs of Constantine Dix. By BARRY PAIN, 



Author of " Eliza," " Another Englishwoman's Love-Letters, " etc. 

 Crown 8vo, cloth. 



This is the story of a professional thief. Constantine Dix keeps three banking accounts, 

 has a house in Bloomsbury and another in Brighton ; he has also a motor car, and makes 

 a comfortable 2,000 a year. He is moreover a philanthropist, and takes a great interest 

 in the reclamation of the lower classes. At Scotland Yard Dix is known as a gentleman of 

 independent means engaged in rescue work, who is believed to do a lot of good, though 

 it is thought that he is often imposed upon. The book shows his real life, of which 

 this outward respectability and philanthropy is the mask. 



Each charter contains an ingeniously contrived burgling adventure, and in the 

 predicaments in which he places his hero, or rather villain, Mr. Barry Pain is at his 

 happiest. Constantine Dix deserves, and will probably attain, a place on every bookshelf 

 by the side of the immortal Sherlock Holmes. 



MISCELLANEOUS. 



Model Factories and Villages. IDEAL CONDITIONS OF 

 LABOUR AND HOUSING. By BUDGETT MEAKIN, Lecturer on Industrial 

 Betterment. Author of " The Land of the Moors," etc. With about 

 200 Illustrations. Large Crown 8vo, cloth. 



The subject of this work will appeal to a growing circle, as the intimate relation 

 between the ideal conditions of labour and housing here described and ideal results in 

 business, is at last becoming generally recognised. Facts, not fancies, are dealt with, and 

 as the author has spent three years collecting material, chiefly by personally inspecting 

 centres of employment in Europe and America, a comprehensive v.ew is presented. The 

 value of this is increased by the very numerous illustrations.
