The author was sixteen years old when, in 1917, the Russian Revolution began. He is the son of Dr. Eugene Botkin, who was appointed in 1908 personal physician to Emperor Nicholas II. The family lived at Izarskoe, Selo, the imperial village, fif teen miles from St. Petersburg, the cap ital. The families of the Emperor and of his physician were in close contact, and the author was a playmate of the prince and princess. With such intimate knowledge of royalty and of the Russian court, Gleb Botkin has given a most remarkable story of the situation preceding the Revolution and of the kaleidoscopic changes that oc curred in those dark days. Dr. Botkin, with his son, shared the exile of the royal fam ily and perished with them at Ekaterin burg, July 17, 1918. Gleb Botkin, however, escaped through Japan and came to Amer ica in 1922. His book bears every mark of honest history. Though in his boyhood a most intense royalist, he is able with his present outlook to picture the weakness of the Russian court and to reveal the steps that led to revolution. 336 pages. Revell Co.

B aha’ism— Its O rigin, H istory and Teachings B y W illiam M c E lwee M iller The author is a missionary of the Pres byterian Church, U.S.A., living in Meshed, Persia. He shows the background of the system of Baha’ism, which is wholly Mo hammedan. Babism was an offshoot from Islam, and Baha’ism is an offshoot from Babism. The system is a modern Gnosti cism, asserting as it; does that God is so far removed that He can be known only in manifestations. According to this doctrine, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, Mohammed, Baha, etc., are all manifestations. The book shows that “no follower of Jesus Christ can accept Baha’ism without denying abso lutely his Christian faith.” 214 pages. Revell Co. Cloth. Price $2.00. C hrist Down East B y R. G.
