James Douglas’ “Adventures in London”
The greatest, largest and most interesting city in the world is London. Cassell & Co., New York, have brought out a splendid book called “Adventures in London,” in reality a series of bright, interesting chapters upon celebrities, places of interest, and upon public questions and doings. In a division “Mainly about Dancing” he tells us of the music halls. Then come the stage celebrities. “Mainly about Politics” gives us an intimate, personal view of the leaders in parliament, the poor, the public gardens, and the ever present holidays. The Athenaeum says: “He gayly hits off a crowd of people who probably resemble Joey Bagstock in not overdoing the exercise of thought, but he notes also the serious side of London—the squalor and misery and horror of it, and the eternal ironies of town and country which entertained the plump little Satirist of Augustan Rome. The title of ‘Adventures’ is fully justified, for our author seems to be one of those happy persons to whom things happen—a Stevenson by disposition and good luck.”
The price of the volume is $1.75 net.

A
New Goerz Catalog
EVERYONE interested in photography and in doing better photographic work, should have a copy of this new catalog.
As a means to better photography, the lens is of first importance. We claim that
GOERZ LENSES
are the best means to that end. The catalog tells why, in an understandable way, and shows proof in the shape of many and varied illustrations. It gives, besides, much valuable general information on the lens question.
You will be interested, too, in the new Goerz cameras; the Vest Pocket Tenax, the Pocket Tenax and the Folding Reflex. Then there is the new Tenax shutter and the yellow ray filters—but get a copy and see for yourself, it may be had for 6 cents to cover cost of mailing. We would also appreciate it if you would mention this magazine and your dealer’s name when writing us, or if you prefer
Ask your dealer for a copy, free
Among the most recent of the numerous triumphs of Goerz lenses, is this:—Practically all the photographic work on the successful Peary—North Pole Expedition, was done with the Goerz lens.

Charles Dickens and His Friends
This is a title and a book which will mean much to the reading public. While Dickens belongs to the world at large he was the very center of British social life during his career and this splendid new volume—“Charles Dickens and His Friends”—deals with his life-time intimates, his brother celebrities. W. Teignmouth Shore, the author, takes us at once into the very midst of Charles Dickens’s large and distinguished circle of friends. The personality of the great novelist—strong, original, and fascinating —attracted the interest of all the famous people of the literary, artistic, and dramatic world of his day. Many of them were among his most intimate companions, and Mr. Shore’s pages reveal to us the impression which Dickens’s personality made upon his contemporaries. The opinions of these cultured men and women throw invaluable light upon lesser known traits of the novelist’s disposition.
The book will be read by all those who, knowing and loving Dickens the novelist, are eager to know more of Dickens the man. Interesting stories about “Boz” are to be found on nearly every page, and there is scarcely a name famous in the Victorian era which we do not find associated here with that of Charles Dickens.
Some of the illustrations which add so much to the pleasure of the reader have never before been reproduced. The work in every way is a notable addition to Dickensiana.

“The Involuntary Chaperon”
A trip through South America in delightful company could not surpass the reading of Margaret Cameron’s “The Involuntary Chaperon.” Furthermore there is the spice of real sentiment and the charm of real, spontaneous humor. A young widow, a charming woman of the world, only a bit past 30, is making a trip to South America for the sake of chaperoning a friend’s daughter, a wilful seventeen-year-old, who is being sent out of reach of a young suitor. With them, also, is the girl’s bachelor uncle. The bachelor uncle is charmed with the chaperon. The pretty heiress at last pours forth a little secret tragedy. She had proposed a runaway marriage to her lover before leaving town, and he had refused the plan. The story continues to the end rich in color, humor and literary distinction. The ending is the climax of the author’s art and will be pleasing to all. The illustrations
