DAYS OF DISILLUSION. By Chester F. Cobb. (Allen and Unwin.

7s. 6d. net:)—Mr. Cobb gives us the life of a typical modern man, from boyhood to the age of forty. He is shown at six crises in his life, when fate seems to have taken it in hand to knock all the nonsense out of him—to disillusion him about his capacities and his worth to society. He is left at the end with no conceit and no fantasies ; an ordinary man with an ordinary future before him. He has found, none the less, a faith and a courage to carry him through the rest of his days in tranquillity.
