TRAVEL AND SPORT.
FROM PILLAR TO POST. By Lt.-Col. H. C. Lowther, D.S.O., Scots Guards. Illustrated. 15s. net. [Third Impression.
“His chapters are so full of good things that ‘From Pillar to Post’ should prove one of the reminiscence-books most in demand this season.”—Daily Telegraph.
“Colonel Lowther has written a very delightful book which, from its very unpretentiousness, impresses the mind with a sense of actuality. His careless yarns about the war have more of the real ring about them than acres of florid and bombastic description. We can only urge everyone to beg, borrow, or steal the book and read it.”—Evening Standard.
MY LIFE STORY. By Emily, Shareefa of Wazan. Fully Illustrated. 12s. 6d. net.
“This is a very remarkable book, and one that should interest alike those who are fascinated by the romance of reality and those who are always glad to learn about other races from those possessed of intimate knowledge.”—Daily Telegraph.
MY ADVENTURES IN THE CONGO. By Marguerite Roby. With Illustrations and Map. 12s. 6d. net.
“A brilliant exposure of humanitarian humbug. After reading the book I have taken every means in my power to test the good faith of the writer. She is a woman whom I cannot describe otherwise than as a born leader. Read the book and you will know some of the qualities required for leadership.”—Vanoe in the Referee.
THE KING’S CARAVAN. Across Australia in a Waggon. By E. J. Brady. With Illustrations and Map. 12s. 6d. net.
“Mr. Brady’s account conveys one of the strongest and clearest impressions of life in New South Wales and Queensland that we have read.”—Standard.
THE GREAT PLATEAU OF NORTHERN RHODESIA. By Cullen Gouldsbury and Herbert Sheane. With 40 pages of Illustrations and a Map. 16s. net.
“The most minute, thorough, and interesting description that has yet been written of Northern Rhodesia. We thoroughly recommend this book.”—Standard.
REMINISCENCES OF THE YUKON. BY the Hon. Stratford Tollemache. With Illustrations. 12s. 6d. net.
ROUGHING IT IN SOUTHERN INDIA. BY Mrs. M. A. Handley. Illustrated. 12s. 6d. net.
“The scope of Mrs. Handley’s book is quite inadequately indicated by the title; it really forms a welcome addition to our knowledge of the vast and complex subject of India in that it contains the impressions of a keen and shrewd observer on many Indian races, their manners, customs, religions, virtues, vices, and idiosyncrasies, as well as admirable descriptions of scenery, vivid accounts of hunting incidents and travel episodes, and instructive little asides on the political and economical, social and racial problems of the great peninsula. We recommend the book thoroughly; it is well written in a style that is as attractive as it is sound, and the matter is worthy of all consideration.”—Standard.
THE WILDS OF PATAGONIA. A Narrative of the Swedish Expedition to Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, and the Falkland Islands in 1907-1909. By Carl Skottsberg, D.Sc., etc. With Illustrations and Maps. 15s. net.
“Few books of the kind that I have read in recent years are half as interesting. Instead of bloody records of the butchering of defenceless beasts (for it should never be forgotten that even tigers and rhinoceroses are practically without defence against quick-firing guns) we have an interesting account of plants, stones, natural history, and scientific problems, all set down by a young, well-educated and adventurous man. The book reads like what Captain Cook’s adventures might have been had they been written by Sir Joseph Banks, and still preserved Cook’s charm.”—Mr. R. B. Cunninghame Graham in the Saturday Review.

“It is a book that every M.P., every country and town councillor, everyone who plays, or aspires to play, any part in public life, ought to be compelled to read several times over.”—Daily Mail.
“It has the interest of the most thrilling story. No one can read the book unmoved or uninterested.”—Westminster Gazette.
