In the food of literature which marked the

created more general interest than this
work. 1t is written in pleasing, converse
tional style, and gives the reader an insight
into the eventful life Of one of the most re-
markable men of the age. Sir Henry Hol-
land was born in 1888, and he was, there
fore, in his eighty-third year when he wrote
this work last fall. His reminis-
cences extend over three-quarters
of century, during which he visited every
country in Europe and spent some time in
America. Among his personal friends he
numbered many great men whose names
have passed into history, and who have be-
queathed tn mankind works of inestimable
value. He has for years been on terms Of
friendship with the leading authors, scien-
fists and statesmen of their generation,
both in Europe and America. His book is
interspersed with anecdotes and reminis-
censes connected with those men, besides
containing fine passages descriptive Of the
grandest and most Beautiful scenes in the
old world and the new. Above all, the
"Recollections" are given in that pure classic
English, for which the author has been so
long and favorably known. For sale by
