Mr. Miles' successes in the reciter world are without parallel. Since he took the field in 1882 with his Al Series, he has been continually scoring, reaching the boundary of civilisation with every hit. For nearly 30 years he has played a famous game, and his score to date is a million odd, not out ! The secret is, he captains such wonderful elevens, and places them with so much advantage in the field. Who could not win v,ith such teams as those named above. ?

" A very handy collection of recitations has been gathered here by Mr. Alfred H. Miles. The Editor has aimed at including poems and prose pieces which are not usually to be found in volumes of recitations, as well as a few of the old favourites . . . The grave and gay occasions are equally well provided for. A sign of the times is here, too, shown by the inclusion of such pieces as * Woman and Work ' and " A marvellous production for sixpence, excelleot in every respect." — Colonial Bookseller.
 * Woman,' both from the chivalrous pen of the Editor." — The Bookman.
