AMERICA FINDING HERSELF
By Mark Sullivan

The story of "OUR TIMES" through the years immedi-
ately following "The Turn of the Century."

The new volume of Mark Sullivan's unique story of our age stands by itself as the authentic and enthralling tale of an eventful period in the development of this country. Its telling is performed mainly-as in "The Turn of the Century"-by means of describing the average citizen and his interests. But in these years certain strong personalities emerge clear-cut-men such as Roosevelt, Morgan, Hill, Rockefeller, and Harriman. They move prominently against a fabric of stirring life in which big business, first successes in aviation, new political movements, new fashions in society had each their part to play.

[graphic][merged small]

Cartoons, contemporary sketches, reproductions, and photographs are generously scattered on almost every page. The man or woman who remembers McGuffey's Reader, for example, will find it pictured, and will understand from Mark Sullivan's direct prose just how it explains certain greater events.

The chapters on the American Mind are a precious volume in themselves, so well do they explain, not by theory but through facts, how the early training of the age of the eighties affected the adult mind of the early twentieth century.

HEREDITY AND HUMAN AFFAIRS

By Edward M. East,

Professor in Harvard University, author of "Mankind at the Crossroads."

A scientist of high authority, Professor East has in this lively volume presented a "primer in genetics" for the new era of scientific humanism. With scrupulous accuracy he gives the facts in a way to be easily understood, facts that free the mind of the reader from a great deal of nonsense. The book contains many real surprises in information.

"Certainly one of the best novels of the year . . . if not indeed the best."-London Daily Mail. "Apart from its high merits, the war scenes are among the best that have been written." -London Daily Telegraph. "The characters are wonderfully alive, thoroughly convincing. Rachel, the hero-mother, is a sparkling, romantic figure fully worthy of a place in Meredith's gallery of women."

-London Evening Standard. "Mr. Asquith's taste is impeccable, for there is nothing here which jars. . . . Corinna dancing in the garden at Fiesole, the conversation of Iris, the figure of Lady Lansdale with her plans for her own and everybody else's future, and the faithfulness of Jessica are all just right." -London Times. $2.00

FROM "GALLEGHER" TO "THE DESERTER"
The Best Stories of Richard Harding Davis

Selected and with an introduction by ROGER BURLINGAME

"There are forty spirited, arresting tales full of color and adventure. . . . It is well that these representative short stories of this brilliant, versatile, and widely travelled American writer are now in such compact literary form. . . . Mr. Burlingame has chosen those with the 'central movement as adventurous' and those which chronicle certain things that 'date.""

"SLAG"

-Worcester Telegram. $2.50

By John McIntyre

"An admirable book, a very remarkable book. . . . It is realism in a high sense of the word and a rare kind of craftsmanship. . . . The impression of lives stultified by environment and heredity, of the squalor, licentiousness, hangs over the story like the hot night. . . ."

-EDWARD SHENTON in the Philadelphia Record. $2.00
