PRINCE CHARLIE

By WILLIAM POWER. It is curious to see how profoundly lives in
themselves so ill-fated have the power to encourage and stimulate the
reader. Few figures are more real than The Pretender's. His sufferings
have been turned into songs and great stories; his old calamities are
our present consolation. This volume contains reproduction in colour of
sixteen Jacobite pictures and seven portraits in collotype. 200 pp. In
Buckram, 5/- net; Velvet Persian, 7/6 net.

MAXIMS OF LIFE SERIES

A set of miniature volumes, exquisitely produced, designed to hold the
essence of the wisdom of some of the world's keenest intelligences. The
_Napoleon_ volume, for instance, thus contains the essential creed of
the man who towered above his time like a Colossus. That of _Madame de
Sevigne_, again, holds the attar of an intellect that dazzled the most
brilliant court of France. In the _La Rochefoucauld_ is the essence of
the worldly wisdom of one of the cleverest judges of men and things. And
the _George Sand_ preserves the private philosophy which a passionate
woman slowly distilled as she made her stormy pilgrimage through life.
Each of these volumes, which contain illustrations in line and colour,
is a slender casket of jewels. In decorative wrapper, 6d. net. Bound in
Velvet Persian Yapp, 1/- net; also in Japon Vellum, 1/- net. 120 pp.

LES PETITS LIVRES D'OR

The minted gold of French verse and prose has been packed away here and
