Mr. WINSTON CHURCHILL'S New Novel

The Crossing

is a vigorous, romantic story of the pioneers of the Mississippi Valley. Its
wealth of absorbing incident ranges from the expedition of George Rogers
Clarke against the Indians to the equally keen fights between French and
Spanish wits in New Orleans. Its plot deals with the peaceful conquest
of Louisiana over which its hero, David Ritchie, saw the flags of three
countries wave in turn, within two days.

Cloth, 12mo, gilt top, $1.50. Uniform with

RICHARD CARVEL AND THE CRISIS

Mr. MAURICE HEWLETT'Snow The Queen's Quair

The author of "The Forest Lovers," and of "Richard Yea-and-Nay" hits off with won-
derful skill each striking figure among the factions warring around the young Queen of
Scots. The story is alive with action, and at the centre of it all, magnetic, passionately
human, moves Mary Stuart whose power to draw men's hearts has rarely been equaled
since the world began.

Cloth, $1.50.

WOODROW WILSON

A new, epoch-making work-the only complete narrative
history of the great Republic in existence to-day

RESIDENT WOODROW WILSON has devoted the best years of his life to the preparation of his great work, "A History of the American People," from the earliest times to the accession of President Roosevelt. The work is monumental in character and scope, represents the genius of the greatest historical writer of the present time, and is written in that delightfully flowing style which translates historical facts into the romance of a nation. Hundreds upon hundreds of new portraits, prints, maps (in colors), plans, and pictures make the pictorial features alone tell their wonderful story-the birth and growth of what is now the United States of America. There is a photogravure frontispiece to each volume, and portraits in India tint and black. Dr. Woodrow Wilson's is the first complete narrative history of the United States in existence. In order to meet the continued demand for this work, the publishers have now in readiness a

NEW SUBSCRIPTION EDITION

The Atlantic Monthly Advertiser

A New and Very Timely Book by DR. WOLF VON SCHIERBRAND,
Author of Germany of To-day, etc.

America, Asia and the Pacific

With special reference to the Russo-Japanese War and its results. With large maps. About 300 pp. 12mo. This book treats the present conflict and its probable results as only preliminary to larger considerations. It attempts to answer, more or less fully, the questions which are apt to be put by the average intelligent man regarding America's relations to all the countries bordering on the Pacific, not only those directly concerned in the present juncture in Asia, but all affected by the Panama Canal, on both coasts of the Pacific and the islands. The book devotes special attention to an analysis of the points of strength and weakness in the equipment of our rivals in the fast approaching struggle, commercial and possibly political, for supremacy in the Pacific.
