IMPERIAL FISCAL REFORM. 



By Sir VINCENT H. P. CAILLARD, 



FORMERLY PRESIDENT OF THE 'DETTE PUBLIQUE,' CONSTANTINOPLE. 



Crown 8w. $s. 6d, 



Sir Vincent Caillard has long been meditating a comprehensive work 

 on Imperial Trade and Finance. But in view of the general inquiry 

 into the fiscal policy of the Empire suggested by Mr. Chamberlain last 

 May, he has postponed for a time the completion of this work, thinking 

 that he would render greater service to those who wish to take part in 

 the inquiry by showing them in less voluminous form the figures and 

 arguments which have led him to his well-known economic conclusions. 



The present book is especially remarkable for the care taken to 

 eliminate the effect on trade of the South African War, and to keep in 

 view the conditions prevailing in normal circumstances. A large portion 

 of the earlier chapters have already appeared in a more condensed shape 

 in the pages of the National Review, but the concluding chapters are 

 entirely fresh matter, and have been written with the express purpose of 

 discussing the scheme for the preferential treatment of the colonies, as 

 understood up to the present time. Sir Vincent Caillard directs the 

 attention of all who desire earnestly to search for the truth to two 

 propositions : (i) That preferential treatment of the colonies must only 

 be looked upon as a step towards Free Trade within the Empire ; and 

 (2) that it is a very great error to draw hard-and-fast conclusions from 

 the present conditions of the world without any regard to the future. 



KNOWLEDGE IS POWER. 



a <3uioe to personal Culture. 



By PHILIP GIBBS. 



Crown Svo. $s. 6d. 



This book is a revised and much enlarged edition of the volume of 

 Essays on self-education, by Mr. Gibbs, already so favourably received 

 by the public to whom the name of ' Self- Help ' is familiar as that of 

 an attractive writer in weekly newspapers. It contains a series of 

 articles on the various elements which contribute to the true culture of 

 the mind, short sketches of Great Writers and studies on Great Sub- 

 jects, together with many valuable suggestions for serious inquiry 

 into ' the things which matter ' and upon which every thoughtful man or 

 woman should have an opinion.
