PIONEERS OF EMPIRE SERIES. Edited by Sir Harry Johnston, G. C.M.G., K.C.B. The Deeds that Won the Empire and the Men who Did them Recorded by an Empire-builder. The real adventures of those pioneers of empire, who have heard the "call of the wild" and gone forth age after age to meet peril in the wilderness, offer for the imagination better fare than the most enthralling fiction. The spell of it is shown in Millais's famous picture, where the boy Raleigh listens entranced to the stories of a travelled mariner. In this series the narrator holds his young hearers with the same spell, for like Æneas he is telling of an enterprise in which he bore no small part.

The story is written with the graphic pen of a skilled writer, and illustrated su

perbly in colour and line. Demy 8vo, cloth extra, gilt top, 68. each. Pioneers in India. By Sir Harry Johnston, G.C. M. G., K.C.B. With 8 coloured illustrations by E. Wallcousins, together with maps and other illustrations in black-and-white.
