"It is almost as good as a trip to the Philippines to read Mrs. Campbell Dauncey's book; she so vividly presents to her readers the people, the scenes, and the customs of the island." The World. Puts life in the Philippines under the reader's eye so clearly that he feels as if he had been there himself. I have never read anything about the East Indies so real as this book."-The Sheffield Independent. The chief interest of Mrs. Dauncey's book resides in the admirable presentment of the incidents of daily life in those exotic regions. She has a quick observation, and a lively, vivid, and colloquial style, so that her book is no ponderous record of dull travel, but an entertaining chronicle of precisely those things which the reader desires to know."—The Standard.

We have hitherto had no record from inside the Russian fleet of the extraordinary voyage which culminated in the Battle of Tsushima. Mr. Politovsky fortunately kept a diary, and, although he was killed in the battle, his record of the events which led up to it has been preserved, and seldom has a narrative of more thrilling interest been given to the public. JOHN MURRAY, ALBEMARLE STREET, W. 66 By C. J. CUTCLIFFE HYNE. Captain Kettle was a delightful person, McTurk is quite as prepossessing, and perhaps even more resourceful and vigorous.. McTurk himself is the greatest success of the book. His quaint ways, his dauntless courage, his addiction to patent medicines, his impressionist painting, his wigs, his flirtations, his bad shooting, his powerful boxing, his unstained loyalty to the U.S. Navy, in which he burns to be restored to the active service which he has lost by 'exceeding his instructions' in the Philippines-all make up an original personality that would be a credit to any novelist . . . his ingenious plots, his unexpected incidents are full of life, and he has produced a first-rate book for the holidays."-Morning Post.
