THE END

_Distinguished Books_

BARE SOULS BY GAMALIEL BRADFORD

This volume goes beyond the geographical limits of Mr. Bradford’s successful “Damaged Souls,” and includes a group of the world’s most mysteriously fascinating personalities. Under Mr. Bradford’s magic touch they spring to life as self-revealing human beings. His subjects include John Keats, Thomas Gray, Flaubert, Voltaire, Edward Fitzgerald, Charles Lamb and Horace Walpole.

LEVIATHAN BY WILLIAM BOLITHO

“If you are a discriminating reader you will have marked William Bolitho as a man whose stuff you will follow anywhere, for he stands out from the hordes of excellent and gentle essayists as boldly as does a woodcut when placed next a half-tone engraving.”--_Laurence Stallings_ in the New York _World_.

THE LIFE OF THE BAT BY CHARLES DERENNES

An exciting personal narrative is told in this book--the life story of the bat, much of it threaded on the life experiences of a captive bat called Noctu. He very soon develops a strong personality, and through his story we learn the life history of bats generally,--their apparent pastimes,--as in their aerial ballets--their mating, their search for food and the whole fascinating range of their daily and nightly activities.

AT A VENTURE BY CHARLES A. BENNETT
_Illustrated by Clarence Day, Jr._

“How delightful to run across a new writer of such subtle penetration combined with a light and lazy humor. Mr. Bennett has a fine sense of satire, of character, of life, and is a master of the luminous phrase. He discusses live subjects, and his papers cover all sorts of topics from advertising to zebra-raising, written with ease, elegance and grace. The pictures are priceless, all movement, irony and grin.”--_W. E. Woodward_ in the _Nation_.

_A Miscellany_

THE BIBLE AND COMMON SENSE BY BASIL KING

Here is a book in which honest people of every communion, groping their way through the storms of controversy, will find fresh light to guide them. Mr. King tells eloquently what the Bible means to him as an individual, and frankly and fearlessly discusses such topics as the Virgin Birth, the divinity of Christ, and the effect of scientific criticism on the Bible. His tone is always constructive, always reverent, always inspiring.

THE MYSTERY OF RELIGION BY EVERETT DEAN MARTIN

What is religion? Has it any real bearing on morality and the unescapable facts of human relationship? The author of “The Behavior of Crowds” here scientifically analyzes, in the light of social psychology, the ceremonials and taboos of religion, and the fundamental meaning and cause of group religion as a universal human need.

THE SEVEN LIVELY ARTS BY GILBERT SELDES

A spirited and entertaining discussion of the “low-brow” arts and artists of comic stage and screen, of song and dance and newspaper humor, by a “high-brow” young critic who sees in them the flourishing germ of a native American expression.

A MAGICIAN AMONG THE SPIRITS BY HOUDINI

A master magician here reveals the results of years of careful study of noted mediums and of spiritualistic phenomena of all kinds. This account of his adventures during his investigations, and the striking conclusions to which he has been forced form an important--and entertaining--chapter in the crusade for truth.

THE AMERICAN MIND IN ACTION
BY HARVEY O’HIGGINS and DR. E. H. REEDE

A keen analysis of the typical American attitude, as exemplified in the lives and personalities of a dozen outstanding Americans. “The work is absorbingly interesting, holding the reader as with a magic spell from beginning to end. The American reader feels as he follows the analysis of the American mind that he is gradually penetrating to the mystic depths of his own soul.”--_Boston Transcript._
