“CHINESE GORDON”

A biography of this remarkable man ought to be interesting reading, especially if written by the famous herojournalist and veteran war correspondent, Archibald- Forbes. It is not, therefore, surprising to see numerous editions of it published. First there was the English edition, of course at a high price, then a reprint at KI.OO per copy, by an American “high-priced” publisher; now follows the “Literary Revolution ” edition, large handsome type, neat cloth bindings for onJy 50 cents! The publisher, John B. Alden, 393 Pearl street, New York, will send a 100-page descriptive catalogue of hi publications, covering the entire field of standard literature; frife to any applicant. -
