Given Away Within the last few weeks there has been an overwhelming demand for a remarkable book dealmg with a subject of absorbing interest, a subject that interests both vomng and old, rich and poor alike. This litfcis volume does not ascend into the realms of visions 5 on the con- trary, it tears aside the curtain that so oftei obscures our understanding of things, and it deals with plain, cold facts. It enlightens the man who is interested* and instructs and in- forms the man who is ignorant. It tells of wfl fields and pastures green, and points—without fear or favour-to where those fields and pas- tures lie. This is not a book for the library shelf.
