London: STEPHEN SWIFT & CO., LTD., 10 John St., Adelphi GORDON AT KHARTOUM BY WILFRED SCAWEN BLUNT _15s. net_ _PRIVATE AND INTIMATE_ This book follows the lines of the author's works on Egypt and India, consisting mainly of a private diary of a very intimate kind, and will bring down his narrative of events to the end of 1885. The present volume is designed especially as an answer to Lord Cromer's _Modern Egypt_, in so far as it concerned Gordon, and contains several important and hitherto unpublished documents throwing new light upon a case of perennial interest. It also includes an account of the author's relations with Lord Randolph Churchill, Sir Henry Drummond Wolff, Mr Gladstone, Mr Parnell, and other political personages of the day, as well as of the General Election of 1885, in which the author stood as a Tory Home Ruler. London: STEPHEN SWIFT & CO., LTD., 10 John St., Adelphi THE PASSING OF THE AMERICAN BY MONROE ROYCE _Crown 8vo. Cloth. 5s. net_ _MODERN AMERICA UNVEILED_ Mr Monroe Royce is a fearless and discerning critic, and _The Passing of the American_ is no ordinary book. With refreshing candour the author reveals the prevailing conditions of his own race to-day, not in the spirit of a carping cynic, but of one who would arrest the downward trend of the national character. Not since "Henry George" wrote _Social Problems_ has a more powerful, brilliant, and startling presentation of the industrial, social, political, and religious life of the American people been written--and much of it applies with equal force to all Western civilised nations. Sparklingly written, acutely interesting and thought-provoking, the book is full of a truth which impresses itself upon the reader. It is probably the keenest analysis of the modern American that has ever appeared. London: STEPHEN SWIFT & CO., LTD., 10 John St., Adelphi AN ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK BY JUVENAL _Crown 8vo. 5s. net_ _VIVID ORIGINALITY_ In these notes and studies on life in New York, Juvenal, by his vivid originality and his masterly deductions, has surpassed all other writers who have written on the same subject. Mr Eden Phillpotts writes of the Author: "The things seen are brilliantly set down. He writes with great force and skill." London: STEPHEN SWIFT & CO., LTD.
