Poland and the Minority Races

By ARTHUR L. GOODHART, M.A.

Fellow of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, lately Captain U.S. Army

Demy 8vo.

About 10s. 6d. net.

A description of life in Poland by the counsel of the American Peace Mission to Poland. Emphasis is placed on the relation between the Poles and the Jewish, Lithuanian, Russian and German racial minorities.

The book includes sketches of President Pilsudski, Prime Minister Paderewski, the capture of Minsk from the Bolsheviks and the Jewish pogrom which followed, the Polish Diet in session, the political parties, the battlefields of the Great War, and the rabbinical schools.

The Forerunners

By ROMAIN ROLLAND

Translated by EDEN and CEDAR PAUL

Demy 8vo..

8s. 6d. net.

In 1916 we had the pleasure of publishing "Above the Battle," a work by the author of "Jean Christophe," which immediately acquired a world- wide reputation. "The Forerunners" is a sequel to "Above the Battle." The precursors of whom Rolland writes are those of kindred spirit to the persons to whom the book is dedicated. It is published "in memory of the martyrs of the new faith in the human international, the victims of bloodthirsty stupidity and of murderous falsehood, the liberators of the men who killed them."

The World after the War

By CHARLES RODEN and DOROTHY FRANCES BUXTON

Demy 8vo.

7s. 6d. net. Post free 8s. net.

A vivid picture of the net effects of the War, and of Allied policy since the War, especially upon the lives of the common people in all lands. Enough detail is included to give the sense of poignant human realities; but the situation is grasped as a whole and drawn in broad and distinct outline—the "Balkanization" of Europe; the new Balance of Power; the economic chaos; the responsibility of the Allied statesmen; the inner meaning of Bolshevism, and of the war against Bolshevism; finally, the elements of hope and recovery, and the possibility of a great religious revival.
