Dial:—“His interesting account of the trial and conviction of Madar La Dhingra.”
New York Evening Sun:—“A suitable mixture of anecdote and generalization to give the reader a pleasant and clear idea of English courts, their ways and plan.... One of the most valuable chapters relates to the discipline of the bar.”
Philadelphia Press:—“A vast deal of useful and often fascinating information.... An eminently readable volume, which, although designed primarily for the lay reader, has already elicited hearty commendation from not a few leaders of the profession.... American lawyers are beginning to see that much may be learned from modern English practice.... On the subject of the ethics of the English bar Mr. Leaming has much to say that is worth careful perusal.”

SIXTH EDITION, ENLARGED AND WITH PORTRAITS
HALE’S DRAMATISTS OF TO-DAY
ROSTAND, HAUPTMANN, SUDERMANN,
PINERO, SHAW, PHILLIPS, MAETERLINCK
By Prof. Edward Everett Hale, Jr., of Union College.
With gilt top, $1.50 net; by mail, $1.60.
Since this work first appeared in 1905, Maeterlinck’s Sister Beatrice, The Blue Bird and Mary Magdalene, Rostand’s Chantecler and Pinero’s Mid-channel and The Thunderbolt—among the notable plays by some of Dr. Hale’s dramatists—have been acted here. Discussions of them are added to this new edition, as are considerations of Bernard Shaw’s and Stephen Phillips’ latest plays. The author’s papers on Hauptmann and Sudermann, with slight additions, with his “Note on Standards of Criticism,” “Our Idea of Tragedy,” and an appendix of all the plays of each author, with dates of their first performance or publication, complete the volume.
