SOME SCRIBNER BOOKS
THE END OF A CHAPTER
By Shane Leslie
Mr. Shane Leslie, a brilliant young graduate of Cambridge, with wide and interesting
connections both in Ireland and England, has written in this book a notable
contribution to the memoir literature of his generation. The conception, which came
to him naturally with his view of the great convulsion which drew him at once into
service at the front, is indicated in his title. He felt, with countless others, that he
was living "at the end of a chapter in history."
As a grandson of the veteran Sir John Leslie, who had known half the famous
Englishmen of his century, from the Duke of Wellington down; as the nephew of
Lady Randolph and the cousin of Winston Churchill, and with a wide acquaintance
among the leaders of his own generation, he has a remarkable store of reminiscence
and anecdote to draw upon, and has brought a keen and exceptional mind to bear on
the questions of his time. $1.25 net

"The rapidity, the surety with which these pages progress
from the immaturity of their beginning to the superb quality

—New York Tribune.

beginning to end. . . . Rupert Brooke's point of view is so
original and so refreshing that wonder is aroused at every

CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS
ESTIMATES IN ART
By
Frank Jewett Mather, Jr.
Professor of Art and Archaeology in Princeton University
In this volume the author considers those among the
great painters, historic and contemporary, in whose work and
personality for various reasons most interest is taken at the
present time. The book is, therefore, as timely in subject
as it is ripe in treatment. Claude, Botticelli, El Greco, Goya,
Rembrandt, Vermeer, Sorolla, Carriere, Watts, and La Farge
receive at his hands an interpretation as suggestive and original
as it is sympathetic. Of equal timely interest is a captivating
chapter on Far Eastern painting—a subject now especially
popular with all who are interested in art.

THE ADMINISTRATION
OF PRESIDENT HAYES
By
John W. Burgess, Ph.D., LL.D.
Author of "Reconstruction and the Constitution," etc.
A masterly and illuminating review by this eminent
American historian of what he shows to have been the momentous
years of General Hayes's administration. The
author shows not only cogently but eloquently how the
South was freed and pacified when reconstruction seemed a
failure, how the country was rescued from the curse of cheap
money, and how Civil Service Reform was established on a
firm basis by the patriotic wisdom of a President to whom
history has not hitherto awarded his just dues of appreciation.
