Great Britain and the Congo:
The Pillage of the Congo Basin.
With an Introduction by Sir A. CONAN DOYLE.
Times.—“Mr. Morel’s untiring industry has been by far the most important factor in awakening both public and official opinion to the monstrous iniquity which for the last eighteen years has been perpetrated with ever-increasing cynicism and effrontery in the Congo basin.”
Standard.—“It is a painful, an uncomfortable, an embarrassing story. The Secretary of the Congo Reform Association is an enthusiast who has devoted himself with a noble zeal and unflinching courage to the task of wiping out the black curse of African exploitation and rubber slavery in Central Africa.”
Pall Mall Gazette.—“The best and most comprehensive treatise we have yet seen on this subject. It is a model of what a work of the kind should be. Authorities are given by footnotes for every statement as of fact, and for most of the opinions on the condition of the Congo.”
Evening Standard.—“Mr. Morel has done more than any man living to expose the foul blot on the reputation of certain Belgian financiers. It is his white-hot indignation at the loathsome cruelties perpetrated in the Congo Free State that has fired the whole of England.”
Large post 8vo. 6d. net.
The Future of the Congo.
An Analysis and Criticism of the Belgian Government’s proposals for a reform of the condition of affairs in the Congo, submitted to His Majesty’s Government on behalf of the Congo Reform Association.
With Appendices.
Daily Chronicle.—“A succinct analysis and criticism of the Belgian reform proposals. The importance of this document at the present moment cannot be exaggerated.... Mr. Morel’s memorial should be read by every one.”
Manchester Courier.—“Mr. Morel provides an analysis and criticism of the Belgian Government’s proposals marked by all his vast knowledge of the subject.”

Uganda for a Holiday.
By Sir FREDERICK TREVES, Bart., G.C.V.O., C.B., LL.D., &c.,
Serjeant-Surgeon to H.M. the King, Surgeon in Ordinary to H.M. Queen Alexandra. Author of ‘Tale of a Field Hospital,’ ‘The Cradle of the Deep,’ &c.
Morning Post.—‘The distinguished surgeon writes for the benefit not of big game hunters, but of tourists like himself, who desire, for a change, to get beyond the beaten track.... The traveller cannot do better than take with him Sir Frederick’s entertaining volume, the interest of which is enhanced by the numerous photographs of places and people taken by him on the spot.’
Standard.—‘Sir Frederick Treves is becoming a pathfinder to the roving Englishman of leisure and intelligence ... another agreeable record of unconventional travel.... The book is written with imagination and humour, as well as with pithy directness and picturesque charm. Its attractiveness is enhanced by many fine pictures and an admirable map.’
Daily Mirror.—‘From start to finish the book brims over with good things; it is written in an easy and pleasant manner, and lifts one straight away from the humdrum of London to the boundless stretches of Central Africa, where lions and zebras are as common as cats in Bloomsbury.’
Country Life.—‘One feels in reading the book precisely as if one were traversing the region with a companion who was extremely well informed, agreeable and natural ... he writes with pure enthusiasm and the concentration of a scholar. The book is at once amusing and instructive to a very high degree.’
With 12 pages of Illustrations and two Maps. Small demy 8vo. 10s. 6d. net.

By F. B. BRADLEY-BIRT, I.C.S., F.R.G.S.,

World.—‘The author’s account brings out the details of Indian life in a manner that could not be surpassed for clearness and local colour.’
