Part 14

THE GREAT WAR OF 189-. A Forecast. By REAR-ADMIRAL COLOMB, COL. MAURICE, R.A., MAJOR HENDERSON, STAFF COLLEGE, CAPTAIN MAUDE, ARCHIBALD FORBES, CHARLES LOWE, D. CHRISTIE MURRAY, F. SCUDAMORE, and SIR CHARLES DILKE. In One Volume, 4to, Illustrated.

In this narrative, which is reprinted from the pages of _Black and White_, an attempt is made to forecast the course of events preliminary and incidental to the Great War which, in the opinion of military and political experts, will probably occur in the immediate future.

The writers, who are well-known authorities on international politics and strategy, have striven to derive the conflict from its most likely source, to conceive the most probable campaigns and acts of policy, and generally to give to their work the verisimilitude and actuality of real warfare. The work has been profusely illustrated from sketches by Mr. Frederic Villiers, the well-known war artist. [_Nearly ready._

IN GOD'S WAY. From the Norwegian of BJORNSTJERNE BJORNSON.

_Athenaeum._--"Without doubt the most important and the most interesting work published during the twelve months.....

It would be difficult to find anything more tender, soft, and refined than this charming personage."
