    Works by SIR FRANCIS TOUNGHUSBAND K.C.S.I., K.C.I.E. THE GLEAM “ A singularly receptive and thoughtful mind have combined to give Sir Francis Younghusband singular opportunities of which he has, to the benefit of readers in this country, availed himself to the full. In ‘The Gleam’ he gives us a very full presentation of the workings of a typical Oriental mind seeking a pure religious philosophy.” The Times. “ Marked by great earnestness and sincerity.”—Spectator. 12s. net. WONDERS OF THE HIMALAYA “ Sir Francis Younghusband is one of the most famous explorers, and this account of experiences is fascinating reading; a book that is full of interest and possesses all the glamour of the East.” Daily Graphic. “ Told so simply and lucidly that the reader is made to see the actors with his own eyes.”—The Times. “A very remarkable and very beautiful book.”—Sunday Times. With FYontispiece and Map. ios. 6d. net BUT IN OUR LIVES A ROMANCE “ Sir FYancis has infused into his volume much of his own spirit— much of the spirit which through all the changes of policy and spread of dominion has survived upon the North-West FYontier from the days of Lawrence and Nicholson.”—The Times. “The book throughout is informed by the writer’s accurate know¬ ledge of life in India. It is not only a novel of peculiar interest ; it is a whole confession of faith.”—Morning Post. 7s- 6d. net. THE COMING COUNTRY “ Sir Francis makes the theme fascinating. His serious purpose is lighted up with humour, and he has some of the patience which knows how to wait. The allegory is written with literary skill and a broad outlook.”— Yorkshire Weekly Post. 7s• 6d. net
