Swords and Flutes. Poems. By WILLIAM KEAN SEYMOUR. Crown 8vo, cloth. 4s. net.

4s. 0d. NET. Inland Postage, 3d.

WHAT THE CRITICS SAY OF MR. SEYMOUR'S WORK.

"We recognise not so much audacity of experiment as a sound loyalty to the best standards of the past, and an almost acute appreciation of beauty both of vision and form.... Mr. Seymour's poetry is full of rich and multi-coloured pageantry, a sheer delight to the eye and imagination."--THE BOOKMAN.

"Mr. Seymour's verse is full of a haunting, fugitive sense of beauty, and owes allegiance to a school of lyric craftsmans.h.i.+p which is rapidly falling out of date. But it is something more than this. Mr. Seymour believes that poetry should not only beautify, but interpret life."--DAILY TELEGRAPH.

"The Measure" and "Down Stream." Two Plays. By GRAHAM RAWSON, Author of "Stroke of Marbot," etc. Crown 8vo. Paper Cover.

4s. 0d. NET. Inland Postage 3d.

"The Measure" is an amusing comedy of contemporary life, in a prologue and two acts, dealing with the adventures of two bachelors who become entangled in a family containing three daughters.

"Down Stream" is a one-act play whose action takes place in a supposit.i.tious country in South-Eastern Europe, where the King traps one of his Ministers neatly, and then deals with him in an unexpected fas.h.i.+on.

Of Mr. Rawson's previous volume ("The Stroke of Marbot," Fisher Unwin, 1917) the _Times_ said: "They are effective plays which should act well, and the stage directions are so given as to make them quite good reading for the study."

Paper Covers.

1s. 0d. NET Inland Postage 3d.

The play is about the Buddha, in the days before he became a G.o.d; and about Binzuru, who was his favourite disciple, and who might have become even as the Buddha, only that he saw a woman pa.s.sing by, and desired her beauty and so fell from grace.

Songs of the Island Queen. By PEADAR MacTOMAIS. Paper Covers.

"Those are songs of a dreamer of Eire, A scion of a race that is old --Of a race that is strong, A people begotten of freemen, Rocked on the cradle of song."

West African Forests and Forestry. By A. HAROLD UNWIN, D.Oec., M.Can.S.F.E. Author of "Future Forest Trees." With upwards of 150 Ill.u.s.trations. Cloth. (Spring, 1920.)

3 3s. NET. Inland Postage, 6d.

The author, late Senior Conservator of Forestry in Nigeria, having spent eleven years in West Africa in forestry work, has had exceptional experience. He starts by dealing in general with West African forests, then successively in geographical order, with the trees and forests of Gambia, Sierra Leone, Liberia, the Ivory and Gold Coasts, Togo, Nigeria, and the British Sphere of the Cameroons. He supplies notes on timber trees both for export and local use, and gives throughout the botanical and vernacular names of indigenous trees. Dr. Unwin has also chapters on the oil beans, seeds and nuts of the West African forests; on the oil palm and palm kernel industry, and the question of the forest in relation to agriculture. The work is an elaborate one, marked by singular thoroughness in its execution.

Collected Fruits of Occult Teaching. By A. P. SINNETT. Demy 8vo, cloth. (Spring, 1920.)

15s. 0d. NET. Inland Postage. 6d.

Mr. Sinnett, who is one of the leading lights of Theosophy and one of the ablest exponents of reincarnation and the science of the evolution of races, embodies in this work the deeply interesting information which, as an occultist, he states he has derived about the human soul, its hereafter and other matters.

Much of the work is due to the teaching of the occult master with whom Mr. Sinnett claims to be in touch. It cannot be doubted that even the most sceptical reader will be thrilled and impressed by more than one of the chapters of this remarkable and fascinating book.

Dr. Scott, who is well known for his skill as a physician, offers here a sort of modern companion to the famous "Religio Medici." The essays in this interesting volume enable the reader to view the spiritual side of a contemplative man of science of our day.

Revelations of Monte Carlo Roulette. By J. COUSINS LAWRENCE. Crown 8vo, cloth. (Spring, 1920.)

3s. 6d. NET. Inland Postage, 4d.

Mr. Lawrence has had an extensive experience in studying roulette playing at Monte Carlo, and the result is an acc.u.mulation of evidence supporting his accusation of unfair control on the part of the bank in the notorious Casino. The book is a full and descriptive account of the methods of croupiers in dealing with players, of the observation maintained by the officials over both croupiers and the players. The work is full of typical incidents, tragic and amusing, observed on the spot.

Blind Alley. By W. L. GEORGE. Author of "The Second Blooming," etc.

Crown 8vo. (Second Impression.)

9s. 0d. NET Inland Postage 6d.

"A powerful piece of work, and is at once a protest against the exploitation of youth by age and an attempted demonstration that war and all its activities are spiritual blind alleys from which we merely have to grope back to the position from which we started."--PALL MALL GAZETTE.

"It is an indictment in detail, a display of follies and festivities, a protest against the past stifling the future, a stirring of muddy depths."--MANCHESTER GUARDIAN.

"It strikes us being so far its author's high watermark."--DAILY CHRONICLE.

"We ate tempted to say that 'Blind Alley' is the greatest character study of the influence of the war we have read."--LADIES' FIELD.

Pink Roses. By GILBERT CANNAN. Author of "Mendel," "The Stucco House," etc. Crown 8vo, cloth. (Second Impression.)

7s. 6d. NET. Inland Postage 6d.

"Character and atmosphere are the qualities of Mr. Gilbert Cannan's new novel, and they revel through its pages like a riot of pink roses....

Ruth Hobday symbolises the new generation, who have learnt in suffering what they will realise in joy. Mr. Cannan has done nothing better than the portrait of this splendid type of young womanhood. Indeed, we are inclined to doubt if he has ever done anything as good."--DAILY TELEGRAPH.

The Candidate's Progress. By J. A. FARRER. Crown 8vo, cloth, with a picture wrapper.

7s. 6d. NET. Inland Postage 6d.
