This edition of the book, which has been designed as a companion volume to "The Annals," contains sixteen illustrations in colour by C. Martin Hardie, R.S.A. Moir was one of John Galt's chief friends, and, like a good comrade, he brought out a rival book. Its native blitheness and its racy use of the vernacular will always keep it alive. 360 pp. Buckram, 5/- net; Velvet Persian, 7/6 net. T.N.FOULIS.PUBLISHER PRESENTATION VOLUMES THE MASTER MUSICIANS By J. CUTHBERT HADDEN. A book for players, singers, and listeners, and although the work of an enthusiastic and discerning musician, it deals with the men rather than their compositions. There is an abundance of good anecdote, and personal foibles are not bowdlerised; but the author's taste is perfect and his attitude is frankly one of human sympathy. With fifteen illustrations. 320 pp. Buckram, 3/6 net. Velvet Persian and boxed, 5/- net. THE MASTER PAINTERS By STEWART DICK. Mr Dick's book is an attempt to compress the cardinal facts and episodes in the lives of the world's greatest painters into a series of swift dramatic chapters. The lives of the world's great artists are often more picturesque than their pictures. With many illustrations. 270 pp. Buckram, 3/6 net. Velvet Persian and boxed, 5/- net. ARTS & CRAFTS OF OLD JAPAN By STEWART DICK. "We know of no book," says _The Literary World_, "that within such modest limits contrives to convey so much trustworthy information on Japanese art." The author and publisher have had the generous co-operation of many famous collectors, and the thirty illustrations include many exquisite reproductions of some of the most perfect kakemonos in Europe. Buckram, 5/- net. ARTS & CRAFTS OF ANCIENT EGYPT By Professor W. M. FLINDERS PETRIE. Containing one hundred and forty illustrations. Small quarto. 228 pp. Buckram, 5/- net. _Second edition_. "We cannot speak too highly of the book, so full and so conveniently displayed is the knowledge which it contains." _Westminster Gazette._ THE WILD FLOWERS By J. L. CRAWFORD. This book forms a guide to the commoner wild flowers of the countryside. It treats flowers as living things. Its special charm resides in its sixteen illustrations, in colour, of some of the most delicate flower-studies ever painted by Mr Edwin Alexander: whose work in this kind is famous throughout Europe. 282 pp. Buckram, 5/- net; Velvet Persian, 7/6 net.
