Chapter XXXVII: Part IV: , The Egyptian Puzzle; Part V, British Policy in Egypt; Part VI,

The Reforms; and Part VII, The Future of Egypt.

"A record of practical and humane statesmanship for which it
would be hard to find an exact parallel. The charm of these
volumes is that the work is recounted by one who was a large
part of that which he describes. . . . For rich content, as
well as pleasing form, this work of a seasoned statesman
is one to be not only read but pondered. In addition to a
style notable for simplicity and point, we have sagacious
reflections, remarks which light up whole principles of
government, characterizations of individuals and of races
which reveal a philosophical mind with a disciplined
imagination. . . .

"In these volumes we get much more than historical records and
political discussions; we get the overflow of a full and
powerful mind. The book is so noteworthy because the intellect
and the character which have gone to its making are so
exceptional. Lord Cromer is not only a great administrator; he
stands before us as a great thinker."--_New York Evening
Post._

Works by B. L. PUTNAM WEALE

Manchu and Muscovite

_Cloth, 8vo, 552 pp., $3.00 net_ (_postage 18c._)

The book was written just before the Russo-Japanese war. It is the detailed account of a journey through Manchuria with the avowed object of showing the character of the Russian occupation. It attracted attention at the time for its interest, and later for its accurate forecasts of events.

"So far superior to all other books on the subject of the
Russian rule in Manchuria that it may be considered really the
only one."--_Daily News_, London.

The Re-Shaping of the Far East

_In Two Volumes, with Many Illustrations from Photographs_

_Vol. I. 548 pp. Vol. II. 524 pp. The set, cloth, 8vo, $6.00 net_

_The Atlantic Monthly's_ reviewer, Mr. John W. Foster, found this "one of the most readable and valuable books which have appeared in recent years. . . . An official of the Chinese foreign customs service gives the result of his manifestly careful study of Chinese history, and his observations during residence and extensive travels through Central and Northern China, Japan, and Korea. The greater part of the work is in the narrative style, with the charm and piquancy which made his 'Manchu and Muscovite' so popular."

"A remarkably searching, analytical, clear, and comprehensive
presentation of a complicated and perplexing situation."--_New
York Tribune._

The Truce in the East and its
Aftermath

_Cloth, 8vo, $3.00 net; by mail $3.71_

A sequel to and uniform with "The Re-Shaping of the Far East." With illustrations and map.

war."--_Record-Herald_, Chicago.

"It is given to few authors to know so much about the subjects they discuss as does Mr. Weale about his," said the _Boston Transcript_ of his earlier work.
