Joseph Pennell’s 
Pictures of War 
Work in England 
With an Introduction. By 
H. G. IF ells, SI plates. Litho¬ 
graph on cover. $ 1.50 net. 
Mr. Pennell secured permis¬ 
sion through Lloyd George to 
make these remarkable pic¬ 
tures of War Work in Eng¬ 
land, the making of great guns, 
of shot and shell, the building 
of air crafts and war vessels. 
Mr. Pennell’s drawings leave 
an impression of a nation’s 
grandeur more vivid even than 
the pictures of armies and 
navies in actual combat. 
Some Russian Heroes, 
Saints and Sinners 
By Sonia E. Howe, author 
of “A Thousand Years of Rus¬ 
sian Llistory.” 44 illustrations. 
^ 2.50 net. 
These stories are fascinating 
studies of Russia and present 
the intensely human side of a 
great people. They give one 
an understanding of Russian 
national life and character 
which is far more vivid than 
any historical work could pos¬ 
sibly be. The author has se¬ 
lected all those historical and 
legendary characters that were 
types of their generation and 
prototypes of the Russians to¬ 
day.

ness from A to Z. He presents 
the very essence of his business¬ 
getting success and his enthu¬ 
siasm for the work bubbles 
over on every page. To those 
who hope to make Insurance 
their field it is invaluable. It 
covers every angle that one 
may wish information upon.

Sidney L. Nyburg 
is marked as a brilliant novelist. His “The 
Conquest” was selected by H. W. Boynton as 
one of the ten noteworthy novels of 1916 (see 
January Bookman). Mr. Nyburg writes with 
a pen unthwarted by false notions, but alive 
with sincerity and genuine artistic impulse. 
The Chosen People 
is a novel of the Jews which strikes a note 
unheard in American fiction. Labor, capital, 
orthodoxy and free thinking, religious belief 
and religious life are among the forces which 
appear. The story is of a brilliant young Rabbi, 
his love for a girl and his belief in ideals, his 
struggles against forces of materialism and his 
reaction from them. Those interested in the 
spiritual life of America will read and talk 
of this story, as it is the most distinctive work 
of the year. $1.40 net
