SPRING ANNOUNCEMENTS, 1922
MOUNT EVEREST
The Reconnaissance, 1921.
By LIEUT.-COLONEL C. K. HOWARD-BURY, D.S.O.,
AND OTHER MEMBERS OF THE EXPEDITION.
With 33 full-page illustrations and maps. Medium 8vo.
25s. net.
Also a Limited Large Paper Edition, with additional plates
in photogravure. Demy 4to, each copy numbered.
£5 5s. net.
A journey through "unknown country," with the highest mountain on earth as objective,—what visions of mystery and romance it conjures! This is the first great piece of exploration attempted since pre-war days, and the expedition will doubtless rank with the classic Arctic and continental achievements that have made land-marks in the annals of discovery.
The book opens with a brilliant introduction by Sir Francis Younghusband, President of the Royal Geographical Society and Chairman of the Mount Everest Committee, by which the Expedition was organised. Then comes the fascinating narrative of the expedition itself, told by Col. Howard-Bury, the leader; he is followed by Mr. G. Leigh-Mallory who describes the strenuous climbing which, after many failures and disappointments, discovered what appears to be a feasible route to the summit. Mr. A. F. Wollaston, another member of the expedition, enlarges upon the remarkable fauna and flora of the Tibetan plateau and valleys, and the valuable Survey work undertaken is summarized by Major O. E. Wheeler. The Geological results are dealt with by Dr. A. M. Heron. Especially interesting, in view of the coming season's expedition, is a chapter by Prof. Norman Collie, President of the Alpine Club, upon the difficulties of mountaineering at such unprecedented altitudes and the prospects of reaching the summit of Mount Everest in 1922.
The illustrations, taken from the magnificent series of photographs brought back by the expedition, are visions of beauty and grandeur, and the Maps display for the first time the topography and general features of a vast region hitherto unexplored. The hill-shaded map of the mass of Mount Everest itself on a scale of 1/100,000, will enable readers to trace the progress of the climbing parties in 1922, while showing in detail the assaults made upon the great mountain during the reconnaissance.
GENERAL ASTRONOMY.
By H. SPENCER JONES, M.A., B.Sc.,
CHIEF ASSISTANT AT THE ROYAL OBSERVATORY, GREENWICH.
About 400 pages, with 103 diagrams and 24 plates.
Demy 8vo. Cloth. About 21s. net.
Mr. Spencer Jones, who is the leader of this year's British Eclipse Expedition to Christmas Island, has written a book covering the general aspects of Astronomy. The subject matter is treated from the scientific standpoint in the light of modern theories. At the same time the exposition is not too recondite and is such as to stimulate the general reader who is interested in the study of the Heavens. Whenever possible the argument is simplified by reference to a diagram, and throughout the book mathematics have only been used where essential for the elucidation of any problem.
The book is fully illustrated and has twenty-four magnificent plates depicting comets, nebulæ, planets, etc., being the pick of the observations of the different Observatories.
A NEW MEDLEY OF MEMORIES.
BY THE
RIGHT REV. SIR DAVID HUNTER BLAIR, BT., O.S.B.,
TITULAR ABBOT OF DUNFERMLINE.
With Portrait. Demy 8vo. 16s. net.
It will be remembered that the Author's first "Medley" published in 1919 only brought his reminiscences to the year 1903. He has now continued them for another decade, and the contents of the new volume are as full of variety and anecdote as ever. Many a notable personage figures in these pages; many a good story is told and many interesting fragments of antiquarian and ecclesiastical lore are quoted.
It was the Author's privilege to spend some time in the service of his Order in Brazil, and his account of monastic life in the tropical surroundings is full of interest. At Rome, again, he describes in vivid phrases several picturesque religious functions which he attended, and wherever he goes he finds fresh material for shrewd and kindly comment.
IS GERMANY PROSPEROUS?
By SIR HENRY PENSON, K.B.E., M.A.,
FORMERLY CHAIRMAN OF THE WAR TRADE INTELLIGENCE DEPARTMENT AND
DIRECTOR OF THE INTELLIGENCE SECTION OF THE BRITISH DELEGATION
TO THE PEACE CONFERENCE, PARIS, 1919.
AUTHOR OF "THE ECONOMICS OF EVERYDAY LIFE."
Crown 8vo. 3s. 6d. net.
This is a question which every intelligent person is asking, and to which the answers supplied through the ordinary channels of information are widely divergent and confusing. Sir Henry Penson is a very shrewd observer well-qualified by training and experience to sift evidence and form an impartial judgment on facts and arguments. In addition, he is a very lucid economic writer and explains clearly the influence of the exchange position upon the situation in Germany at the present day.
The Author visited Germany only a few weeks ago, and was helped in his investigations not only by British officials in the Rhineland, but by Germans of high position in industrial and commercial circles whose statements he checked carefully. One has only to read his chapters on Prices in Germany, or on Incomes and Standard of Living in order to appreciate the value of his evidence, and of the conclusions at which he arrived. They have, of course, an important bearing upon the vital question "Can Germany Pay?"

MEMORIES AND NOTES OF PERSONS AND PLACES.
By SIR SIDNEY COLVIN, M.A., D.Litt.,
FORMERLY SLADE PROFESSOR OF FINE ART IN THE UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE
AND KEEPER OF THE PRINTS AND DRAWINGS AT THE BRITISH MUSEUM.
With Portrait. Second Impression. 18s. net.
"Readers of this book will be visited by only one regret—that Sir Sidney Colvin was compelled to abandon his larger plan of writing his personal recollections in several volumes. Such dreams, such memories as these are treasures. Sir Sidney, for all his modesty, does not persuade us that they can be enjoyed so richly without some equivalent virtue. That there are special aptitudes for reaching Corinth is proved by these delightful pages."—Times Literary Supplement.
"The sloven style, the trivial matter, of so many of the Reminiscences which every publishing season pours forth makes all the more welcome by contrast a book of memories that is both rich in interest and itself a piece of literature. Such is Sir Sidney Colvin's 'Memories and Notes.' It is a pleasure to read from beginning to end, if only for the exact and vivid phrasing, the sustained felicity of cadence, at times touching emotion and imagination at once with just that kind of beauty of sound in the words which is proper to fine prose."—Mr. LAURENCE BINYON in the Bookman.
"The man who enormously increased the regard of the public for Landor, who indefatigably forwarded the interests of R. L. Stevenson, and who is unmatched for his scholarly exposition of Keats, would, of course, write a book of literary gossip with distinction and taste. But Sir Sidney Colvin has done more than that. This book is a model of what such books should be; it is well bred, balanced, informing, and yet it is light and readable all through."—Spectator.
"After all the reminiscences by women of no conceivable importance, and all the gossip of chatterboxes in the purlieus of Fleet Street, it is pleasant to meet a narrator who comes under the old-fashioned comfortable rubric of 'a scholar and a gentleman.'
Oh! how comely it is and how reviving
To the spirits of just men long opprest
by fusty anecdotes about third-class politicians to breathe the atmosphere of intellectual good breeding."—Mr. EDMUND GOSSE in The Sunday Times.
"The high vitality of the 'seventies and 'eighties, both in England and France, is made to pulse again. The book is indispensable where it was bound to excel, as in the personal study of Robert Louis Stevenson. But, also, it is singularly close and graphic in ways for which we were not prepared."—Observer.
"Full of inimitable pictures."—Nation and Athenæum.
"The leading literary and artistic figures of 60 years flit through the pages with a fascination which will amply repay those who have awaited publication of the book for its real worth. The whole of the fifty pages of Stevensonia give a more faithful picture of R. L. S. on the human side than anyone has hitherto been able to do."—Daily News.
ADRIENNE TONER.
By ANNE DOUGLAS SEDGWICK
(MRS. BASIL DE SELINCOURT),
AUTHOR OF "TANTE," "THE ENCOUNTER," "VALERIE UPTON," ETC.
Third Impression. Crown 8vo. 7s. 6d. net.
"Exquisite is the word that swims, not 'darkly' but with a sense of utter satisfaction, through the brain in summing up Miss Anne Douglas Sedgwick's new novel, Adrienne Toner. Its quality is extraordinarily even. It is a fine book, with flashes of humour and a strong and clear reading of human life, and withal of a quality of which it can only be said at last, as at first, that it is exquisite."—Country Life.
"I loved 'Adrienne Toner.' A wonderful book, I thought. It's well worth reading."—From "The Letters of Evelyn" in the Tatler.
"As a penetrating study of a rather uncommon personality it must be regarded as a first-class piece of work."—Daily Telegraph.
"In this grave and beautiful comedy of English life, with its central figure typifying the strength and crudity of those spiritual influences which have come to us from America, Anne Douglas Sedgwick reveals the growth and maturity of her power."—Westminster Gazette.
"An immensely clever study of an American girl and of the havoc wrought by her entry into an ordinary English country family. It is probably the best novel Miss Sedgwick has yet written."—Evening Standard.
"Miss Sedgwick has never done better than in this novel and in nothing is it so admirable as in the way in which her laughter leaves us and her ready to admire Adrienne when, not changed, but converted, she learns from Oldmeadow how much she has grown in spiritual wisdom."—Daily News.
"A remarkable and living narrative, well deserving all the applause that it has received."—Outlook.
"It is a surprising book—delicate and imaginative. Miss Sedgwick excels in the rendering of recurrent moods, changes of attitude, subtle currents of feeling. This is by far the best work she has given us."—British Weekly.
"A novel of rare distinction."—Pall Mall Gazette.
"No one could read 'Adrienne Toner' without determining to miss nothing from the same pen."—Birmingham Post.
"It is a long time since one has read a novel at once as interesting and as satisfying in its craftsmanship as this. Miss Sedgwick's artistry is firmer and stronger in her new book than ever yet. The way in which Adrienne is made visible is from the start quite masterly."—Review of Reviews.
"The book is to be read, thoughtfully and carefully, and with the realization that all the time we are seeing into some of the complexities of human nature as they are presented to us to-day. A fascinating and powerful and uncommon book."—Church Times.
THE RAINBOW BRIDGE.
By REGINALD FARRER,
AUTHOR OF "MY ROCK GARDEN," "ALPINES AND BOG PLANTS," ETC.
With Illustrations and Map. Second Impression. 21s. net.
"A classic of travel. Of modern travellers with a sense of style, Mr. Farrer must take his place in the forefront alongside of Mr. Doughty, Mr. Cunninghame Graham, and Mr. Norman Douglas."—Times Literary Supplement.
"There can be no denying that Mr. Farrer was one of the great masters of English prose. His last book is bright with sidelights on vie intime of the essential China."—Morning Post.

AUTHOR OF "A STAFF-OFFICER'S SCRAP-BOOK," "GALLIPOLI DIARY," ETC.
One Volume. Demy 8vo. 18s. net.
"Sir Ian Hamilton has performed a tour de force. He has written a book on military organization, and in his book there is not a dull page. It will make some angry, it will make some think, but certainly it will not produce a yawn."—Major-General Sir F. MAURICE in the Daily News.
"It is an odd, original, unequal, thought-compelling book, often exasperating, but never for a moment dull. It is persuasive, too, and on all the greater matters judicious."—JOHN BUCHAN in The Evening Standard.
WAR AND NATIONAL FINANCE.
By the HON. R. H. BRAND, C.M.G.,
FELLOW OF ALL SOULS COLLEGE, OXFORD.
One Volume. Demy 8vo. 15s. net.
"A work which is not merely interesting but is most valuable."—Morning Post.
"By its lucidity, if for no other reason, it will be quite as interesting to the layman as to those who pretend to a small knowledge of economics."—Daily Telegraph.
"No one can read it without seeing the world's situation in the white light of fact and truth and it is a sure cure for most current fallacies."—Financial News.
HINDUISM AND BUDDHISM.

H.B.M. AMBASSADOR AT TOKIO.
Three Volumes. £4 4s. net.
"There can hardly be an over-measure of praise accorded to Sir Charles Eliot for the methods he uses and the qualities he exhibits. A set of volumes which henceforth, surely, must be counted indispensable."—The Times Literary Supplement.
NEW SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL BOOKS.
ISOTOPES
By F. W. ASTON, M.A., D.Sc., F.R.S.,
FELLOW OF TRINITY COLLEGE, CAMBRIDGE.
With Diagrams and Plates. Demy 8vo. 9s. net.
The foundations of the Atomic Theory have been based for over a century on Dalton's definition of the Atom. The discovery of radio-activity and the application of Positive Rays to the analysis of the elements have shown that our conception of the Atom as being homogeneous and indivisible must be modified. No one is better fitted to deal with the subject of isotopes than Dr. Aston, whose memoirs on this subject extend over a number of years. The book deals not only with isotopes, but gives a general survey of the electrical theory of matter.
AN INORGANIC CHEMISTRY.
