JOHN SCARTH.

Twelve Years in China; the People, the Rebels, and the Mandarins, by a

an Appendix. Crown 8vo, cloth, price 10s. 6d.

“One of the most interesting books that has been published on that
most mysterious country.”—_Morning Post, April 9._

“Whether Mr. Scarth be right or not in his political
conclusions—and he certainly leaves a strong impression upon our
minds that he _is_ right—we have to thank him for a very
interesting volume.”—_Chambers’s Journal, April 14._

“One of the most amusing and original volumes ever published on
China.... He has been at great pains to form correct opinions, and
in many cases appears to have succeeded. But the external relations
of so vast an empire are too important to be discussed and dismissed
in a paragraph. We therefore advise all those who desire to
understand the question to study Mr. Scarth’s volume.”—_Daily
Telegraph, March 21._

“This volume is very readable, sketching the Chinese and their ways
in a correct yet lively manner, and containing many judicious
extracts and observations on such general subjects as the character
and religion of the Chinese.”—_Hong-Kong China Mail, April 25._

“Mr. Scarth’s little work will modify the opinions of many among its
readers concerning the Chinese Empire. Even for those who have as
yet committed themselves to no definite opinions and felt no special
interest in regard to the Flowery Land, it is a volume which will
repay perusal. It is written from a new point of view, and in a new
spirit; and the Chinese question is one with at least two sides. The
point of view may be fixed in a few words by saying that a ‘British
Resident’ of twelve years in China is not a British
official.”—_Saturday Review, May 5._

My Life and Times; being the Autobiography of the Rev. THOS. SOMERVILLE,
Minister of Jedburgh, and one of His Majesty’s Chaplains. 1 vol.
crown 8vo, price 9s.

“His book is eminently graphic and readable, and it is no mean proof
of its singular excellence that, following so close in the wake of
his more imposing friend, Dr. Somerville should be able to hold his
own with perfect ease.... Such, then, are a few of the points of
interest afforded by this curious work, which we accept as a most
valuable addition to a most interesting species of literature. The
style of the book is flowing and graceful; the spirit of it refined
and genial. It is excellently edited by a man who knows when to
speak and when to be silent—when a foot-note is required and when it
is not. We may expect that such a book will become a favourite among
those who read for amusement, and, endowed as it is with a careful
index, a standard work of reference to those who are in search of
facts.—_Times, May 24._

The Two Cosmos. A Tale of Fifty Years Ago. 1 vol., crown 8vo, 10s. 6d.

“It excels in what we most of all desire in a novel—freshness....
There is in some passages a good deal of pathos in it; and a writer
who is capable of pathos—not mere maudlin, but genuine, manly
feeling—belongs to the higher ranks of authorship. Many men have
true tenderness of feeling, but, perhaps, the rarest thing in
literature is the art of expressing this tenderness without being
ridiculous, and of drawing tears of which the reader is not ashamed.
Our author has not much indulged his faculty in this way but in one
little scene—the deathbed of the elder Cosmo’s mother. He has been
so successful that one cannot help feeling his superiority.”—_Times,
January 10th._

“To call it merely a good novel is to do an injustice to the
narrator, to say that it is the best of the season would not be
absolutely correct, but would not be far from the truth. Every one
should read it—all who read it will heartily recommend it to their
friends.”—_Morning Herald, February 2d._

“We lay down the book gratefully and lovingly. To read of such a
life is refreshing, and strengthening, and inspiring. It is long
since we read any biography with equal pleasure; and assured of its
general acceptance, we pass it on to our readers with our heartiest
commendation.”—_The Scottish Press._
