BY CHARLES NORDHOFF,

“ The author has set himself the task of personally examining into these Societies with a 
anew of ascertaining the grounds of their prosperity and the proportion of good over evil. He 
has done his work well; and the volume he has written is both bountiful in detail and enter- 
twining in spirit and style, fit equally for the drawing-room and the library. We recommend 
“ on account both of the interest of the subject and of the able way in which it is handled.’ — 
'ABLET.

“A book of solid value, and not only solid in its value, but of such clearness and fresh- 
ness of style that it makes a subject which is usually considered obscure and confused at 
once clear and intelligible. The subject is rendered interesting ; the book is not merely readable, 
but it is thoroughly attractive ; and, though dealing with speculations so remote, it handles 
them in such a way as to be replete with lessons of caution and of guidance for the present 
day.’ —LITERARY CHURCHMAN.

BY SAMUEL SMILES, 
Author of ‘‘Self Help’? and ‘ Character.’’ 
Revised Edition. With Portraits and 340 Woodcuts. 5 vols. Crown 8vo. 7s. 6d. each. 
“ There was only one drawback to the splendid series of the ‘ Lives of the Engineers,’ which 
Mr. Smiles has given to the world within the last dozen years. It was ona subject absolutely 
new ; it was well written, full of interest, enriched with an abundance of beautiful illustrations ; 
but it was very costly. It could not well be otherwise. But it was unfortunate, because the 
book was essentially popular in its nature, and one which would be a most welcome possession 
to many a struggling worker who could ill afford to buy it. It is, therefore, with great satis- 
Suction that we announce a ‘New and Revised Edition, ix a much smaller and cheaper 
form.’ —GuARDIAN. 
*,* Each volume is complete in itself, and can be obtained separately.
