THE END

EXTINCT ANIMALS

By E. RAY LANKESTER, F.R.S.
With numerous illustrations. $1.75 net, postage extra

An account of animals, many of which lived on the earth in ages before written history. The author bases the book on his popular lectures, and although the story is told so simply that children cannot fail to understand it, it is in no way lacking in scientific value, and will be full of interest for older people as well. The story of these animals is in some measure the story of the earth itself.

Russian Politics

By HERBERT M. THOMPSON. With maps, 12mo, $2.00.

An account of the relations of Russian geography, history, and politics, and of the bearings of the last on questions of world-wide interest.

Outlook :-" The result of careful study, compactly, clearly, and effectively presented. .. The author's aim is to stir the friends of freedom throughout the world to a deeper interest in the cause of Russian liberty. His work is vivified by the fact that his heart is in it. The chapters upon the methods by which the Russian serfs were emancipated, and the manner in which they have been almost reenslaved by debt and taxation, are particularly worthy of the examination of students of social politics
