From Carpathian to Pindus: Pictures of Roumanian Country Life. By TEREZA STRATILESCO. With 2 Maps and many Illustrations. Demy 8vo, cloth, 15/- net.

"Singularly vivid and interesting."—Truth.

"It is primarily a description, and a very pleasant one, of the Carpathian forests and valleys, and of the kindly, genial, picturesque peasantry that inhabit them."—Manchester Guardian.

"Miss Stratilesco's fascinating work."—Scotsman.

"A comprehensive book written by one who knows the country and people intimately."—Daily Graphic.

"The book is very full and useful, amounting to a complete study from all points of the Roumanian peasant-nation. It is well illustrated from photographs, and will at once take rank among the works of reference necessary to the student of European affairs."—Outlook.

"A book as full of merit as it is of observation. From it we learn much of a subject that is not only of great interest in itself, but also one of which comparatively little is known."—Graphic.

In Search of El Dorado: A Wanderer's Experiences. By ALEXANDER MACDONALD, F.R.G.S. With 32 Illustrations. Large Crown 8vo, 5/- net.

Readers with a taste for adventure will find this book a storehouse of good things, for in the course of various mineralogical expeditions the author has roughed it in many remote quarters of the globe, and a large share of strange and thrilling experiences has fallen to his lot. At the same time he possesses a literary skill with which few travellers are gifted.

The episodes in his career which the book relates fall under three heads. In Part I., "The Frozen North," he gives some vivid sketches of rough and tumble life in the Klondyke region; Part II., "Under the Southern Cross," describes his adventures while prospecting for gold in Western Australia; Part III., "Promiscuous Wanderings," tells of his experiences in the Queensland Back Blocks, in the Opal Fields of New South Wales, in British New Guinea, in the Gum Land of Wangeri, New Zealand, and with the Pearlers of Western Australia.

"It was with a secret joy that we sat up till the small hours of the morning to finish Mr. Alexander Macdonald's new book, 'In Search of El Dorado: A Wanderer's Experiences.' The author's wanderings have led him all over the world, digging for gold, silver, opals, and gum. The wonderful characters are vividly drawn, and his two companions, Mac and Stewart, are men one would like to shake hands with.... We can conscientiously say that we have had as much pleasure from this book as from the half dozen best novels of the year."—Bystander.

"We read of so many cordial, clever and clubbable fellows that we lay Mr. Watson's book down with a sense of having spent a few hours in jollier company than may easily be found in any circle nowadays."—Daily News.

"The Savage Club has been happy in so admirable an historian as Mr. Watson.... Publisher, author, and Savage Club should rest equally content with what has been done. It is a book to buy and a book to treasure."—Tribune.

"Mr. Aaron Watson is to be congratulated on a book which people who have not been inside the Savage Club will appreciate, and which every member of that charmed circle will assuredly prize."—Standard.

With Photogravure Frontispiece. Demy 8vo, cloth, 12s. 6d. net. A Literary History of the English People BY J. J. JUSSERAND. VOLUME I From the Origins to the Renaissance OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"The execution of the task so far as it has proceeded at present is masterly. M. Jusserand's erudition is vast, but it does not overwhelm his sense of proportion nor distort his fine critical sense.... M. Jusserand has many advantages over Taine. His learning and his industry are certainly not less conspicuous, his critical method is less rigid and mechanical, his English sympathies are stronger and based on a much more familiar knowledge of English habits and English modes of thought; at the same time, like Taine, he is independent of purely English prejudices, and his literary judgments are those of a citizen of the great republic of letters which knows nothing of national or political boundaries. Altogether, the work is full of a rare attraction."—Times.

"I envy this man his style, his subtlety, his lightness of touch, his thoroughness.... At last we have—or rather shall have when the work is complete—a real History of literature."—Dr. Augustus Jessopp in the Illustrated London News.

"M. Jusserand's qualifications for the task which he has undertaken are of a high order.... We cordially commend both to English and French readers this brilliant and thoughtful book, and shall look forward with high expectation to the appearance of its successor."—Athenæum.

"We may say, without contradiction, that the marvellous story of our literature in its vital connection with the origin and growth of the English people has never been treated with a greater union of conscientious research, minute scholarship, pleasantness of humour, picturesqueness of style, and sympathetic intimacy."—Daily Chronicle.

"The success which has been attained by M. Jusserand, one of the most accomplished of modern French students of this country, in his latest enterprise is exceedingly remarkable. He brings to the task which he has undertaken not merely a deep erudition, but an extraordinary insight into and sympathy with our national modes of thought and expression."—Daily Telegraph.

"We have no work at once so trustworthy and so captivating.... M. Jusserand knows, in a judicial way, what is and what is not evidence and authority; he is fresh, animated, eager, yet he never speculates without a warrant. It is his method that is practically an innovation.... As we follow his skilful guidance, we see almost in action the making of England, of English character, and of English literature."—Speaker.

With more than Sixty Illustrations. Large crown 8vo, cloth, 7s. 6d. Popular Edition, 2s. 6d. net. English Wayfaring Life in the Middle Ages (XIVth Century) BY J. J. JUSSERAND. Translated by Lucy A. Toulmin Smith. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"The book is a translation and an amplification of one of those enchanting volumes which only Frenchmen have the gift of writing, ... a pleasure to handle, a joy to read, and bearing with it, when one gets to the end of it, a conviction that one has become a much more learned man than one was a week ago, for that somehow one has absorbed a great deal that the outer world knows little about. Pray do not order this volume at the library. Buy it if you are wise, and keep it as a joy for ever."—Dr. Augustus Jessopp in the Nineteenth Century.

"A mine of information regarding the roads, the travelling, and the travellers of the fourteenth century.... The book is crammed with curious information"—Spectator.

"The best and most picturesque account of English outdoor life in the period of Chaucer that our literature possesses."—Gentleman's Magazine.

"An extremely fascinating book."—Times.

"All readers of history are laid under obligation by M. J. J. Jusserand's thoroughgoing inquiry into 'English Wayfaring Life in the Middle Ages.'... M. Jusserand is the very opposite of a dry-as-dust antiquarian. The records from which he has compiled his material are both dry and dusty, but by their help he fills the old roads of England with living people, and most vividly reproduces the fourteenth century.... M. Jusserand's volume is one of permanent value, and will be read with avidity by any who have the slightest fraction of the historical spirit."—British Weekly.

"We are much obliged to the learned and genial French author for this accurate and picturesque survey of some interesting features in the common life of England during the fourteenth century. His book should be read along with the immortal Prologue, at least, to the Tales of the delightful Canterbury Pilgrimage. 'English Wayfaring Life' is a scientific treatise on its subject, and is one of the pleasantest gatherings of antiquarian knowledge."—Illustrated London News.

Crown 8vo, limp cloth, silk sewn, 3s. 6d. The Coming of the Friars And other Mediæval Sketches BY AUGUSTUS JESSOPP, D.D. Fourteenth Impression. OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

"The papers which show Dr. Jessopp at his best are, without doubt that on 'Village Life Six Hundred Years Ago' and the two on 'The Black Death in East Anglia.' These reveal that historic imagination, that power of making the past live again, of taking one beyond the record of the court roll to the man who signed the deed or the suitors who formed the court, and finding out how they lived and what they did, which Dr. Jessopp possesses, perhaps, in a unique degree. Nothing can be more telling than these essays, with their light touches of humour."—Athenæum.

"The antiquarian information is conveyed in the most attractive form by a writer who has nothing of a dry-as-dust in his composition except the zeal and the patience of investigation, while the East Anglian colouring gives that individuality and precision to the descriptions which materially assist the imagination to realise with distinctness the required pictures. Another peculiar charm of Dr. Jessopp's writings is the freshness of his sympathies.... Always lively, picturesque, and suggestive, he is in living touch with existing realities, and uses his historic gleanings to illustrate by contrast or by resemblance some present condition of modern society."—Guardian.

"In the present volume Dr. Jessopp has developed a power almost equal to that of the author of 'John Inglesant,' of catching the tone of a generation that has passed away, and of depicting the condition of England in the Middle Ages, unhidden by a veneer of modern conventionalism.... It would be difficult to find a more graphic picture of old English life, or one in which even the driest facts of history are presented in a more attractive garb."—Morning Post.

"It is delightful to have them thus collected, for few writers have Dr. Jessopp's gift of painting to the life. His 'Village Life Six Hundred Years Ago' is as graphic and as truthful as one of Richard Jefferies's sketches of to-day. His papers on 'The Black Death' and on 'The Building of a University' are full of teaching; and no one has ever discussed with more intelligent appreciation that mediæval Salvation Army of which Franciscans and Dominicans were the two main corps."—Graphic.

"The glimpses into the social life of the past afforded by these essays will impress all who reflect for a moment upon the marvellous growth of England."—Daily Chronicle.
