Since the beginning of the Boer War England has been attacked 

 with unexampled bitterness by the Continental press. Repeated 

 charges of inhuman atrocities laid to the account of the British 

 Army have brought to its defence 



Dr. A. CONAN DOYLE 



whose experience at the front has peculiarly fitted him to present 

 the facts in the case. This he does frankly as an advocate, but 

 never permitting his intense loyalty to prevent him from giving 

 the same weight to Boer as to British testimony, and always 

 reporting the truth as he sees it, without rancor or malice, in 



THE WAR IN SOUTH AFRICA 



ITS CAUSE AND CONDUCT 



Dr. Doyle's occupation in life is writing, but he has done this 

 work not as a matter of business, but as a labor of love, to set 

 right in the world's eyes his mother-country. He has directed 

 us to publish the book at the cost of its making, foregoing all 

 royalties or profit. That is why the price is 10 cents a copy. 



No man who keeps abreast of his time can afford to pass over 

 this most important contribution to the history of a war which 

 has become a world-interest. 



Upon application, "The. War in South Africa" will be sent free to any public 

 or institutional library. 



MARCONI'S BOOK 



This book was begun about two years ago and only recently 

 finished. The earlier chapters form the best and most competent' 

 summary yet made of the history of wireless telegraphy; and the 

 autobiographic chapters are of unique interest, recounting in a 

 series of modest reminiscences the author's own work, from the 

 time when he had the first idea of sending messages without wires 

 till he heard in the receiver on the Newfoundland coast the repeated 

 signals that had come across the ocean. Ready in April. 



THE HOUND OF THE BASKERVILLES 



By Dr. A. CONAN DOYLE 



We have just three points to mention about this : 

 i. It is here that SHERLOCK HOLMES first figures as the 

 principal character in a complete novel. 



2. It is Dr. Doyle's greatest work, both as a profound and thrilling 



mystery story and in literary workmanship. 



3. We publish it in April and it's worth waiting for.
