ily News._ 'A bluff and vigorous narrative.'--_Glasgow Herald._ #R. S. S. Baden-Powell.# THE MATEBELE CAMPAIGN 1896. By Colonel R. S. S. BADEN-POWELL. With nearly 100 Illustrations. _Second Edition._ _Demy 8vo._ _15s._ 'Written in an unaffectedly light and humorous style.'--_The World._ 'A very racy and eminently readable book.'--_St. James's Gazette._ 'As a straightforward account of a great deal of plucky work unpretentiously done, this book is well worth reading. The simplicity of the narrative is all in its favour, and accords in a peculiarly English fashion with the nature of the subject.'--_Times._ #Captain Hinde.# THE FALL OF THE CONGO ARABS. By SIDNEY L. HINDE. With Portraits and Plans. _Demy 8vo._ _12s. 6d._ 'The book is full of good things, and of sustained interest.'--_St. James's Gazette._ 'A graphic sketch of one of the most exciting and important episodes in the struggle for supremacy in Central Africa between the Arabs and their Europeon rivals. Apart from the story of the campaign, Captain Hinde's book is mainly remarkable for the fulness with which he discusses the question of cannibalism. It is, indeed, the only connected narrative--in English, at any rate--which has been published of this particular episode in African history.'--_Times._ 'Captain Hinde's book is one of the most interesting and valuable contributions yet made to the literature of modern Africa.'--_Daily News._ #W. Crooke.# THE NORTH-WESTERN PROVINCES OF INDIA: THEIR ETHNOLOGY AND ADMINISTRATION. By W. CROOKE. With Maps and Illustrations. _Demy 8vo._ _10s. 6d._ 'A carefully and well-written account of one of the most important provinces of the Empire. In seven chapters Mr. Crooke deals successively with the land in its physical aspect, the province under Hindoo and Mussulman rule, the province under British rule, the ethnology and sociology of the province, the religious and social life of the people, the land and its settlement, and the native peasant in his relation to the land. The illustrations are good and well selected, and the map is excellent.'--_Manchester Guardian._ #W. B. Worsfold.# SOUTH AFRICA: Its History and its Future. By W. BASIL WORSFOLD, M.A. _With a Map._ _Second Edition._ _Crown 8vo._ _6s._ 'An intensely interesting book.'--_Daily Chronicle._ 'A monumental work compressed i
