can write a story of the improbable and make it appear probable, and yet that is what Mr. Wells has done in _The War in the Air_."--_The Outlook._ "A more entertaining and original story of the future has probably never been written."--_Town and Country._ " ... displays that remarkable ingenuity for which Mr. Wells is now famous."--_Washington Star._ "Forcible in the extreme."--_Baltimore Sun._ "It is an exciting tale, a novel military history."--_N.Y. Post._ New Worlds for Old _Cloth. 12mo. $1.50 net._ _Macmillan Standard Library Edition, 50 cents net._ " ... is a readable, straightaway account of Socialism it is singularly informing and all in an undidactic way."--_Chicago Evening Post._ "The book impresses us less as a defense of Socialism than as a work of art.

Cloth, 12mo. $1.35 net._ Everyone who remembers _The Sea Wolf_ with pleasure will enjoy this vigorous narrative of a voyage from New York around Cape Horn in a large sailing vessel. _The Mutiny of the Elsinore_ is the same kind of tale as its famous predecessor, and by those who have read it, it is pronounced even more stirring. Mr. London is here writing of scenes and types of people with which he is very familiar, the sea and ships and those who live in ships.
