A Series of Volumes by Eminent Writers, presenting in their entirety "A Biographical History of Education

THE TIMES: "A series of Monographs on 'The Great Educators' should prove of service to all who concern themselves with the history, theory, and practice of education.” THE SPEAKER: "There is a promising sound about the title of Mr. Heinemann's new

series, The Great Educators.' It should help to allay the hunger and thirst for knowledge and culture of the vast multitude of young men and maidens which our educational system turns out yearly, provided at least with an appetite for instruction."

Each subject forms a Complete Volume, crown 8vo, 5s.

Mr. HENRY JAMES: "Reading over lately several of Turgenev's novels and tales, I was struck afresh with their combination of beauty and reality. One must never forget that he was both an observer and a poet. The poetic element was constant, and it had great strangeness and power. His novels give one the impression of life itself, and not of an arrangement, a réchauffé of life." Post 8vo, cloth, price 35. net each Volume

[Pioneer Series Crane is a great

MR. GEORGE WYNDHAM, M. P., in The New Review: "Mr. artist. . . In The Red Badge of Courage he has surely contrived a masterpiece. . . . I think that his picture of war is more complete than Tolstoy's, more true than Zola's." The distinguished author, W. D. HOWELLS, writes as follows of Stephen Crane : The wonder of his work is the courage which deals with persons so absolutely average, and the art which graces them with the beauty of the author's compassion for everything that errs and suffers.”

THE NOVEL OF THE YEAR

Illumination

By HAROLD FREDERIC One Volume, 6s. Sixth Edition

THE REVIEW OF REVIEWS: "The cleverest and most impressive work of fiction that the year has produced. Mr. Frederic gives us the reality of life, and you will place the book with your Hardys and Merediths and the few other considerable works of fiction given us by living novelists."

THE SATURDAY REVIEW: "Mr. Frederic at his best. The drama unfolds itself with rare delicacy and self-restraint. . . . Michael is a beautiful character, vividly and exquisitely painted. The Soulsbys, whose peculiar profession as 'debt-raisers' is unknown here, are creations who alone would make the book repay perusal." By the Same Author. 35. 6a. each.
