FORTHCOMING VOLUMES.

JOHN BRIGHT.	R. Barry O'Brien.
Mr. Barry O'Brien's book is the only authoritative life so far published of one who was perhaps the greatest orator of Victorian England. Mr. Augustine Birrell has written an interesting preface. (September 3.)
POVERTY: A STUDY OF TOWN LIFE.	B. Seebohm Rowntree.
This is the first and most famous of Mr.Rowntree's sociological studies. Taking a small area in the city of York, he examined every detail of its economy, and his careful and scientific enquiry has provided a basis of solid fact for all future social advance. (October i.)
ALREADY ISSUED.
FELICITY IN FRANCE.	Constance Maud.
Miss Maud has written a fascinating guide book to the French countryside. A pleasant thread of narrative is woven into the book, but it is primarily a description of travels in different parts of France. The perfect sympathy with and understanding of French life, and their humour and grace of the style make it an ideal travelling companion.
THROUGH FINLAND IN CARTS.	Mrs. Alec Tweedie.
Mrs. Tweedie's former volume on Mexico in the Nelson Library of Notable Books was warmly received, and the present book is a no less delightful example of her racy and light-hearted travels. She saw Finnish life from the inside, and describes it with sympathy and vivacity.
LEAVES FROM AN INSPECTOR'S LOGBOOK.	Dr. John Kerr.
Dr. Kerr's former volume in Nelson's Library contained many of the best stories of the day. The present book adds to their number, and contains also a delightful account of a visit to Egypt and the Soudan.
WILD ENGLAND OF TO-DAY.	C. J. Cornish.
The late Mr. Cornish had no rival as a field naturalist and a brilliant writer on country topics. The present book is a worthy successor of Richard Jefferies' work, and will be welcomed by all who love country wanderings.
THE LIFE OF LORD LAWRENCE.	R. Bosworth Smith.
Lord Lawrence was one of the foremost of our Indian viceroys, and in his hands lay the reconstruction after the Indian Mutiny. Mr. Bosworth Smith's biography is the standard record of a great and varied life.
WHAT I SAW IN RUSSIA.	Hon. Maurice Baring.
Mr. Maurice Baring has long established his reputation as one of the most brilliant English students of Russian life and character. The present volume is made up from three of his earlier books, and contains those sections which the author regards as of permanent interest. They give a fascinating account of every aspect of modern life in Russia.
PROBLEMS OF POVERTY.	Dr. Chalmers.
This volume contains selections from Dr. Chalmers's chief economic writings. The founder of the Free Church of Scotland was not only a great theologian, but a brilliant economist, and his views have received striking confirmation in the recent report of the Poor Law Commission. The problem grows more pressing daily, and this selection will be found most valuable by all who are interested in the subject.
THE BURDEN OF THE BALKANS.	M. E. Durham.
The story of a lady's tour in the Balkan Peninsula.
FIELDS, FACTORIES, AND WORKSHOPS.	Prince Kropotkin.
This edition of Prince Kropotkin's famous book has been thoroughly revised by the author. It is a brilliant study of the relations of industrial development to agriculture, and of brain work to manual labour.
SOME OLD LOVE STORIES.	T. P. O'Connor.
Mr. T. P. O'Connor is one of the most versatile and agreeable writers of our day, and in this volume he has retold some of the most famous love stories of the past, adding the glamour of romance to the truth of history.
