The Murderous Tyranny of the Turks
by Arnold J. ToynbeeNo one who has studied the history of the Near East for the last five centuries will be surprised that the Allied Powers have declared their purpose to put an end to the rule of the Turk in Europe, and still less will he dissent from their determination to deliver the Christian population of what is called the Turkish Empire, whether in Asia or in ..
A Handbook of Modern Japan
by Ernest W. ClementThis book, as its title indicates, is intended to portray Japan as it is rather than as it was.

Early English Water-Colour Drawings of the Great Masters
by A. J. FinbergTurner was one of the greatest artists this country has produced, and much of his best work—and nearly all the work by which he has endeared himself to his fellow-countrymen, was done in water-colour; yet water-colour painting, though it has played almost as important a part as oil painting in the history of British art, is not yet recognized by ou..
