GENERAL BOOKS.
Tales of War Time France =6s. 9d. net.= Translated by =WILLIAM L.
MCPHERSON=
Representative of the best French fiction.
A fine volume of short stories, ranking with those of Daudet and Maupa.s.sant, by such well-known writers as Pierre Mille, Frederic Boutet, Maurice Level, Rene Benjamin, Alfred Machard.
Vanished Towers and Chimes of Flanders =26s. net.= =GEORGE WHARTON EDWARDS=
Author of "Holland of To-day," "Brittany and the Bretons," etc.
An exquisite volume with over 20 coloured plates and monotone ill.u.s.trations from drawings by the author, and a frontispiece of the great Cloth Hall at Ypres--that was. A book that will be of ever-increasing value in years to come. Only a limited number available.
Vanished Halls and Cathedrals of France =26s. net.= =GEORGE WHARTON EDWARDS=
Author of "Vanished Towers and Chimes of Flanders."
Ill.u.s.trated with 32 plates in full colour and monotone, from drawings made just before the War. This book of rare beauty, like its companion volume on Flanders, will be a perpetual and highly-prized memorial of the vanished glories of this region of France. Only a limited number available.
Marshal Foch and his Theory of Modern War =CAPTAIN A. HILLIARD ATTERIDGE=
=5s.= Author of "Muret," "Marshal Ney," "Famous Modern Battles,"
"Towards Khartoum," etc.
A book of paramount importance, not only for all military men but the general public, who here, for the first time, see the great French Field-Marshal as a man and a soldier.
A book giving an intimate biographical sketch of the man whose genius may be said to have saved France and Europe at a critical moment; containing a full and clear _expose_ of the theory and practice of strategy, based on Marshal Foch's own books, and on his operations in the present war. It is impossible to overrate the importance of this book, written in a graphic and delightful style, by this well-known expert on military matters and history, the man who was present throughout Kitchener's Soudan Campaign.
Three Years with the New Zealanders =6s.= =LT.-COL. WESTON, D.S.O.=
With 3 maps and many ill.u.s.trations.
A narrative of absorbing interest from a military and human point of view, giving a vivid account of New Zealand's share in the Great War, at Gallipoli and in France, and full of interesting and illuminating observations on the nature of the New Zealander and the people of the Home Country.
Thirty Canadian V.C.s Cloth =2s. 6d. net.= =CAPTAIN T. G. D. ROBERTS=
A long, authoritative and spirited account in detail of the actions which have gained for Canada thirty V.C.s in the Great War. Capt.
Roberts has had access to the official records, and gives a great many entirely new and interesting facts.
Order of St. John of Jerusalem Past and Present =Ill.u.s.trated.= =5s. net.= =ROSE G. KINGSLEY=
An ill.u.s.trated and authoritative account of the Order of the Hospitallers of St. John of Jerusalem, from the earliest time to the present day. It traces its history from the early body of military monks under whose auspices a hospital and a church were founded in Jerusalem; follows them to the island of Rhodes, tells of their troubles there (through the seizure of the island by the Turks), and their subsequent possession of the Island of Malta, the government of which they administered until it was occupied by Napoleon in 1798; and finally ends with the work by members of the Order during the present war.
The Prisoner of War in Germany =DANIEL J. MCCARTHY, A.B., M.B.=
=12s. 6d. net.=
An intensely interesting and deeply moving book by the representative of the American Emba.s.sy in Berlin during 1916.
=Amba.s.sador Gerard= says: "I cannot praise too highly Dr. McCarthy's book.... The better treatment of prisoners is largely owing to his work...." A true book that will bring a comforting message to many a British home.
Three Anzacs in the War =6s. 9d. net.= =LIEUT. A. E. DUNN=
A book of irresistible charm. The story of three Australians who volunteer for service across the seas, by the one who was left to tell the tale. A book written with dash and spirit, deep pathos and sparkling humour. It will make every Briton proud of the sons of the Commonwealth.
With the Austrian Army in Galicia =OCTAVIAN C. TASLAUANU=
_Crown 8vo, cloth, with map_, =6s. 9d. net=.
A simple narrative of the first months of the war against Russia, by a Roumanian subject of Austria. A book that will shed a flood of light on the mysteries of the question of the "Near East," and all that will be involved in the solution of that question, when the day of Peace arrives.
Round about Bar-le-Duc =SUSANNE R. DAY=
=6s. 9d. net.=
Nothing could exceed the charm of this war book, written with tenderness and real wit, giving a true and moving and inspiring account of the sufferings and the dignified att.i.tude of the refugees from Northern France, among whom, and for whom, the auth.o.r.ess worked.
The Drift of Pinions =ROBERT KEABLE=
=6s. 9d. net.= (=2nd Edition=) Author of "A City of the Dawn."
