Modern Daughters.

Being Conversations with various American Girls and One Man. By Alexander Black . Profusely illustrated with designs and photographs by the Author. Royal 8vo., elegantly bound in silk cloth, with charming cameo portrait on side, 10s. 6d. net.

‘Particularly fresh and original in idea is “Modern Daughters.” Mr. Black has written some exceedingly clever conversations, which give us verbal pictures, so to speak, of some characteristic types of American womanhood. The chapters called “With a Gym Girl” and “With a Club Woman” are specially successful. There is a perception and a sense of humour about them which make them not only delightful to read, but worth thinking about afterwards. The illustrations, which are excellent, consist mainly of portraits which would be recognised at once by anyone familiar with the American Society of to-day—a fact which should make the book interesting to American women in London. The volume is well and prettily bound, and its “get-up” is admirable. It is quite a book to possess.’— World .

By S. T. Coleridge . With six full-page illustrations reproduced in photogravure, and other text illustrations by Herbert Cole . Foolscap 4to. Printed on one side of the paper only, by T. and A. Constable , on a special antique wove paper, cloth, richly gilt side design, 5s. net.

‘The one thing that can justify this re-issue of Coleridge’s classic poem is the excellent illustrative work done by Mr. Cole.’— King .

‘Nearly every feature of this little book is tasteful and appropriate. Praise is due to the typography, paper, and binding, and, above all, to Mr. Cole’s highly dramatic and spirited designs, of which the best shows the bride, her groom, and the “merry minstrelsy” entering the hall.’— Athenæum .

‘A beautiful edition—beautiful in print and paper, and, above all, beautifully illustrated. Mr. Herbert Cole’s pictures are, indeed, the finest of their kind we have come across for a long time, and they are reproduced with rarest skill. All concerned are to be congratulated on a most successful production.’— Bookman .

‘An admirable book…. Children will revel in this bright and genuinely amusing book of coloured pictures and entertaining rhymes. The artist has a genuine sense of humour, as well as much technical skill, and his sketches are artistic in more than the hackneyed sense of that oft-abused word.’— Lady’s Pictorial .

‘One of the books of rhymes which are bound to become favourites with young people and old alike is “Elfin Rhymes.” The rhymes are lively and have the proper “jingle;” the illustrations are very clever.’— Westminster Gazette .
