ates as stage manager, with Pett Ridge as call-boy!
Hilaire Belloc is a benevolent entrepreneur, and Cecil Chesterton a fiery
tempered lover. We meet Frank Lamburn, the editor of _Pearson's Weekly_,
as a distinguished actor, while Barry Pain has kindly divided his name
between an aged man of weak intellect and his dead son.

This by no means exhausts the list we find; we meet the names of
well-known journalists and men of letters on every page.

LOVE IN MANITOBA

BY E. A. WHARTON GILL

_Crown 8vo. Cloth. 6s._

_A FRESH FIELD IN FICTION_

The writer has opened a fresh field of fiction and has presented a
striking picture of life in the Swedish settlements of Western Canada--a
district hitherto largely neglected by novelists. The Author is intimately
acquainted with the life of these colonists, and has studied his
characters on the spot; while his local colour is in every way admirable.
He knows the West and its people. And the people in his story are typical
of those to be met with in every settlement throughout the West.

TORY DEMOCRACY

BY J. M. KENNEDY

_Crown 8vo. Cloth. 3s. 6d. net_

_LORDS, GOVERNMENT, LIBERALISM_

There are unmistakable indications that the system of politics at present
pursued by the two chief political parties is not meeting with the
approval of the electorate as a whole, though this electorate, as a result
of the Caucus methods, finds it increasingly difficult to give expression
to its views. In his book on Tory Democracy, Mr J. M. Kennedy, who is
already favourably known through his books on modern philosophical and
sociological subjects, sets forth the principles underlying a system of
politics which was seriously studied by men so widely different as
Disraeli, Bismarck, and Lord Randolph Churchill. Mr Kennedy not only shows
the close connection still existing between the aristocracy and the
working classes, but he also has the distinction of being the first writer
to lay down a constructive Conservative policy which is independent of
Tariff Reform. Apart from this, the chapters of his work which deal with
Representative Government, the House of Lords, and "Liberalism at Work"
throw entirely new light on many vexed questions of modern politics. The
book, it may be added, is written in a style that spares neither parties
nor persons.
