ADVENTURES WITH A SKETCH BOOK. By Donald Maxwell. Illustrated by the Author. F’cap 4to. 12s. 6d. net.
⁂ This book provides a new departure from the conventional methods of book illustration. By an ingenious use of tints it is illustrated throughout in colour. All the text drawings are printed on rough surface paper, and are not, as in the case of so many so-called colour books, plates printed on a shiny paper.
With regard to the text the reader will feel that he is an active partaker in Mr. Maxwell’s explorations and romantic expeditions in numerous unexpected places all over Europe. It is a book that will make a delightful possession.

CHRONICLES OF ERTHIG ON THE DYKE. From Original Letters preserved in the House. By Albinia Cust. With Illustrations from Photographs. In 2 vols. 25s. net.
⁂ The story is not of a Family but of a House. In the oak-panelled library are parchments, manuscripts, old printed books, and the letters—frail yet enduring souvenirs of a vanished past. Never intended for publication, they have an interest so poignant as to be realised only in the reading. The writers with their joys and sorrows seem to live again in these pages, conjuring up visions of the scenes amid which they played their little part.
