ates as stage manager, with Pett Ridge as call-boy! Hilaire Belloc is a benevolent entrepreneur, and Cecil Chesterton a fiery tempered lover. We meet Frank Lamburn, the editor of _Pearson's Weekly_, as a distinguished actor, while Barry Pain has kindly divided his name between an aged man of weak intellect and his dead son. This by no means exhausts the list we find; we meet the names of well-known journalists and men of letters on every page. London: STEPHEN SWIFT & CO., LTD., 10 John St., Adelphi LOVE IN MANITOBA BY E. A. WHARTON GILL _Crown 8vo. Cloth. 6s._ _A FRESH FIELD IN FICTION_ The writer has opened a fresh field of fiction and has presented a striking picture of life in the Swedish settlements of Western Canada--a district hitherto largely neglected by novelists. The Author is intimately acquainted with the life of these colonists, and has studied his characters on the spot; while his local colour is in every way admirable. He knows the West and its people. And the people in his story are typical of those to be met with in every settlement throughout the West. London: STEPHEN SWIFT & CO., LTD., 10 John St., Adelphi TORY DEMOCRACY BY J. M.

In his book on Tory Democracy, Mr J. M. Kennedy, who is already favourably known through his books on modern philosophical and sociological subjects, sets forth the principles underlying a system of politics which was seriously studied by men so widely different as Disraeli, Bismarck, and Lord Randolph Churchill. Mr Kennedy not only shows the close connection still existing between the aristocracy and the working classes, but he also has the distinction of being the first writer to lay down a constructive Conservative policy which is independent of Tariff Reform. Apart from this, the chapters of his work which deal with Representative Government, the House of Lords, and "Liberalism at Work" throw entirely new light on many vexed questions of modern politics. The book, it may be added, is written in a style that spares neither parties nor persons. London: STEPHEN S
