By ANNE HOLLINGSWORTH WHARTON. Twenty-eight illustrations. $2.00 net.
Miss Wharton so enlivens the past that she makes the distinguished characters of whom she treats live and talk with us. She has recently visited the homelands of a number of our great American leaders and we seem to see upon their native heath the English ancestors of George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, William Penn, the Pilgrim Fathers and Mothers, the Maryland and Virginia Cavaliers and others who have done their part in the making of the United States.

Joseph Pennell's Pictures of the Wonder of Work
Profusely illustrated. $2.00 net.
Mr. Pennell is notably a modern, and has found art in one of the greatest phases of modern achievement—the Wonder of Work—the building of giant ships, railway stations, and the modern skyscraper; giant manufacturing, marble-quarrying; oil-wells and wharves—all the great work which man sets his hand to do. The crisp and wonderful and inspiring touches of introduction to each picture are as illuminating as the pictures themselves.
