* Strang, Herbert. On the trail of the Arabs; a story of heroic deeds in Africa, il. †$1.50. Bobbs.
7–29572.
Mr. Strang returns to a period lying back of the present days of rubber slavery which latter were treated in his “Fighting on the Congo.” The present story deals with an earlier time and a different region of the Great forest. “It is a picture of the last years of the Arab domination, when the remnants of Tippu Tib’s hordes, in remote fastnesses, pursued their evil traffic in humanity. The two pictures are companions and contrasts; but they have this in common: they attempt to show the native races at their best, as they may be and are when oppression is replaced by sympathy.”
* Strang, Herbert. Rob the ranger: a story of the fight for Canada, il. †$1.50. Bobbs.
7–31414.
A story of Canada in the provincial days before the capture of Quebec. It gives the exciting adventures of a boy in search of his father and brother separated from him during a French-Indian raid. It is the wilderness of the Hurons and Mohawks that furnishes the background of the story.

Strang, William. Etchings; with critical introductions by Frank Newbolt. *$2.50, Scribner.
It is the “characteristic work” of many moods that Mr. Newbolt has brought together in this collection. “Mr. Newbolt’s introduction does full justice to the fertility of Strang’s invention, to the great range of his experience in technique, to his courage in ever tackling fresh problems and difficulties instead of settling down steadily, as artists are prone to do, to the repetition of some stock subject which makes a sure appeal to the public taste and binds the artist in the slavery of habit.” (Lond. Times.)
