THE RIGHT HON. W. H. SMITH, M.P.

With Portraits and other Illustrations. 2 Vols. demy 8vo, 25s.

Popular Edition. Crown 8vo, 3s. 6d.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

“A charming and engaging biography of a man whom Englishmen of all parties respected. The Life will give many of us a new view of Mr Smith.......It was a simple, sincere, and admirable life, and its story is told by Sir Herbert Maxwell in a good book-sound and solid like its subject, but with a keen eye for the picturesque, and an excellent appreciation of humour and human character."-St James's Gazette.

"Sir Herbert Maxwell has ably fulfilled his undertaking, and the biography is as practical and straightforward in tone as was its subject. The influence of Mr Smith's unflinching rectitude will leave a lasting mark on the fortunes of his country."-Morning Post.

"No figure in recent political history is more admirable than that of this true man-honest without parade, pious without cant, charitable without ostentation; or few more pathetic than that of the homely gentleman, visibly wasting under the strain of leadership, sitting night after night at the post of duty-a martyr, if ever there was one, to his own merit.......Sir Herbert Maxwell has compiled a Life which few people will read without a certain emotion."-Standard.

"The life of Mr Smith has, indeed, a distinct and valuable moral attached to it. It was one, throughout, of unswerving devotion to the welfare of the commonwealth.......Sir Herbert Maxwell has done his work well -with tact and discretion. He has used his materials with literary skill, producing a volume that can be read throughout with pleasure.......He presents a life-like picture. The man as well as the politician is por trayed for us, coming out of the ordeal with flying colours."-Globe.

"A work which must command not alone the gratitude of Conservatives but the admiration of Englishmen of every shade of political opinion....... The literary merit of Sir Herbert Maxwell's work should alone ensure it a high place amongst biographies."-Morning Advertiser.
