UNWIN BROTHERS, LIMITED, THE GRESHAM PRESS, WOKING AND LONDON.
The Land Hunger: Life under Monopoly. Descriptive Letters and Other Testimonies from those who have Suffered. With an Introduction by Mrs. COBDEN UNWIN and a Critical Study by BROUGHAM VILLIERS.
Large crown 8vo, cloth, 2s. net.
This book will form a companion and complementary volume to the famous collection of letters published under the name of "The Hungry Forties." Scores of books issue from the Press yearly, written by thinkers of various schools, dealing with the now universally admitted hardships of our land laws. It is time, however, that the people were permitted to speak for themselves, and in this book they have done so. From the South of England to the far North of Scotland men and women have sent in letters detailing the actual hardships they have suffered through land monopoly. Included in the volume are many letters and testimonies from people who understand by experience how much more could be done with our land under happier laws, and thus contribute their ideas, not only on the nature of, but on the remedies for, a difficult problem. Mrs. Cobden Unwin writes a chapter dealing with the utterances of her father on the land question, and vindicating his insight into a problem which still awaits its solution.

The Economics of Land Value
By HAROLD STOREY
Secretary of the Yorkshire Liberal Federation.
Crown 8vo, Paper boards, 1s. net.
This book demonstrates the extraordinary position held by Land in the production and distribution of wealth. The author briefly and clearly explains the economic forces that determine the share of wealth that can be claimed by the various classes of the community, and argues that unless some remedy can be found the growth of land-rents will increasingly impoverish the people. He advocates legislative action along various lines, and particularly insists upon the rating and taxing of land value. This latter policy is carefully analysed in all its bearings. The author shows what it will do, and what it cannot do, and by a fresh line of argument proves the necessity for other supplementary forms of taxation. The book affords a complete and balanced statement of the case that has to be met by any practical Land Policy.

A PERSONAL NARRATIVE BY THE
EX-TREASURER-GENERAL OF PERSIA
THE STRANGLING OF PERSIA
By W. MORGAN SHUSTER
With a Map and 52 Full-page Illustrations
Demy 8vo, cloth, 12s. 6d net (Inland postage 5d.)
The story of European diplomacy and Oriental intrigue which resulted in the denationalization of twelve million Mohammedans.
It is practically the first time that the real story of modern diplomatic relations between nations has been frankly and fully recorded. The startling facts are authenticated by the British and Persian state papers, supplemented by a private diary kept by the author during his entire sojourn in Persia.
"Only the pen of a Macaulay or the brush of a Verestchagin could adequately portray the rapidly shifting scenes attending the downfall of this ancient nation,—scenes in which two powerful and presumably Christian countries played fast and loose with truth, honour, decency, and law, hesitating not even at the most barbarous cruelties to accomplish their political designs and to put Persia beyond hope of self-regeneration."

My Life
By AUGUST BEBEL
With a Portrait. Cloth, 7s. 6d. net.
The Daily Herald says:
"This book is of remarkable interest. It is a record and revelation of extraordinary significance."
The Daily Chronicle says:
"'My Life' is really an enchanting book, forcefully and modestly written, and ought to be read by all who care anything at all about the betterment of the conditions of the vast majority of their fellow creatures."
The Yorkshire Observer says:
"Whatever our political sympathies may be, we cannot withhold respect and admiration from the veteran soldier in the people's cause, who tells us here with so much modesty and simplicity the cause of the war."
The Globe says:
"The autobiography can be cordially commended to the English public, and whatever our views as to Herr Bebel's ideas may be, this story of his life will be found both instructive and of real interest."
The Nation says:
"It contains an excellent account of the development of modern German political parties, as seen by a firm and convinced democrat, and is indispensable to students of the history of Socialism on the Continent."

The Tyranny of the Countryside
By F. E. GREEN
Author of "The Awakening of England," "The Cottage Farm," &c.
Crown 8vo, cloth, 5s. net.
In this book the reader is shown the root causes of rural decay under that dominating tyranny which, in spite of rural Magna Chartas, hangs like a blight over England. The book is not a political pamphlet—it is something more. The author, like Cobbett, a tiller of the soil, and living the life of the yeoman farmer, understands those hardships that eventually drive the labourer from the land. He has attempted the difficult task of making the country labourer vocal.
"The mantle of William Cobbett has certainly fallen upon the shoulders of Mr. F. E. Green, who wears the adornment with grace and rigour alike."—Daily Telegraph.
"It is an amazing revelation of countryside tyranny in its manifold forms."—Daily Herald.
