 NOTES AND QUERIES. [12 s. vi. APRIL 3, iaaa

A RECORD OF GREAT SPEECHES

MODERN Oratory includes many master- pieces that are well worthy of the attention of literary men. In the freedom of speech, the spirit of our times is exempli- fied in an unrivalled fashion and the Book of Public Speaking represents a literary collection that should be on the shelves of every reader of Notes and Queries.

Moreover to all who write, these speeches provide a never-ending fund of reference, virtually unobtainable in any other manner. Few readers there can be who have not felt the need of the information obtainable in these volumes. The King's great " Wake up England " speech, Asquith and Balfour, Lord Beaconsfield's original speech on " Peace with Honour," John Bright on " The Angel of Death," Lord Robert Cecil, Joseph Chamberlain, Lord Rosebery are not these all names pregnant with interest and suggestion.

The value of the work is enhanced by numerous important articles, of which and all other details full particulars will be sent free.

KING EDWARD VII AS A SPORTSMAN

T^UTURE History when it talks of King T Edward the Vllth will, it is safe to say, pay no small attention to the keen interest he always displayed in Sport of every kincU Sport played such a large part in his life, and aided him so greatly in his dealings with foreign monarchs and statesmen, that it is impossible to distinguish altogether his own, work as Britain's greatest statesman from the interest with which he filled his occasional leisure hours.

For that reason Mr. A. E. T. Watson's " King Edward VII. as a Sportsman " is tv work that is of an interest vastly greater than a mere sporting book. It is in fact a work that possesses a real and lasting importance to all who value precision in their reference and a correct understanding of unlying influences, however unlikely to the merely casual observer.

In addition it is of course a book of in- tensely interesting reading and as such alone would well repay its comparatively low cost. It is a limited edition only 250 copies were offered for sale and those that remain are worth a collector's interest as copies that are bound to grow scarce.
