The United States of Europe. W. T. Stead. 



ON THE EVE OF THE PARLIAMENT OF PEACE. 



Mr, Stead's recent talks with the Czar aud with all the great European statesmen 

 lend much value to this timely review of current politics, written with special reference 

 to the Russian Peace Rescript and American "Expansion." It covers such pertinent 

 matters as America's task in Cuba and the Philippines, the "Chinese Puzzle," South 

 African Problems, the Fashoda Muddle, the Concert of Europe and its work in Crete and 

 Candia, and so on, with many suggestive forecasts.

Sketches in Egypt. Charles Dana Gibson. 



" Eg)'pt," says Mr. Gibson, " has sat for her likeness longer than any other coun- 

 try." The recent important events that have turned all eyes toward the Upper Nile 

 have not disturbed in the least the ancient composure and serenity of the Land of the 

 Pharoahs, and few countries offer such a tempting field to the artistic pen. Mr. Gibson's 

 forceful and suggestive drasvings are well reinforced by his written impressions — more 

 complete than he has ever before published — and the whole makes up a uniquely in- 

 teresting record, from an artist who occupies a peculiar position among us. It is the real 

 Egypt from a new standpoint. No pains have been spared to produce a true art work, 

 giving really adequate presentations of Mr. Gibson's drawings.

From Sea to Sea. Rudyard KipHng. 



35th THOUSAND. 



This is an authorized edition of the collected letters of travel which Mr. Rudyard 

 Kiphng has written at various times between 1889 and 1898, and has just edited and 

 revised. It includes hitherto unpublished matter, as well as an accurate text of the 

 "American Notes," with " Letters of Marque," " The City of Dreadful Night," "The 

 Smith Administration," etc., etc. 



Even Mr. Kipling never wrote anything more entirely irresistible than are, for in- 

 stance, his letters on Japan. The ludicrousness of the Japanese "heavy cavalrv," the 

 fascinating O-Toyo, the cherry blossoms, and the wonderful art which permeates the 

 daily life of natural Japan— all these things become permanent in the reader's mind and 

 can never be forgotten; and they show a side of the author which is not at all prominent 

 in most of his other work. 



Size, 5x7^; two volumes in box; pages, 860; type, 10 point; binding, cloth.
