THE . . . METROSTYLE PIANOLA THE Pianola is the standard piano-player. In a few years it has practically revolutionised the art of piano-playing. It has provided the world with a new and broader method of producing music, and has given everyone the opportunity of becoming a skilled musician. The Pianola has carried the pleasure of music into thousands of homes. It has been the cause of thousands of pianos fulfilling the purpose for which they were made, instead of to all intents and purposes remaining pieces of ornamental furniture. The Pianola itself deals with the finger-work, the technical part of playing. The Metrostyle provides authoritative interpretations, and with the Pianola is the most important invention in music. To put off the purchase of a Pianola is to deprive yourself and your family of an inexhaustible fund of enjoyment. The Pianola can be purchased either for cash or on the deferred payment system, with an initial payment of Five Pounds. Catalogue R gives full particulars.

Edition limited to 300 copies for sale in Great Britain and the Colonies, of which 50 copies are printed on Japanese vellum, bound in vellum, gilt, price Six Guineas net, and 250 copies on handmade paper, bound in English buckram, price Four Guineas net. The Exhibition of Millet's Drawings held in the Spring at the Leicester Galleries was so great a success, and the wish for permanent reproductions so general, that Mr. HEINEMANN is glad to be able to announce that he has obtained the facilities to make facsimile reproductions of the majority of these Drawings, which are included in the present Volume. Each Drawing is printed in several tints and mounted, while the Text, by the Director of the Luxembourg, gives an aesthetic and artistic "placing" of the great Author of "The Angelus." A SPECIAL PROSPECTUS WILL BE SENT TO THOSE APPLYING. An Edition de Luxe for all Purses. REMBRANDT A MEMORIAL. 1606-1906. One Volume, royal cloth, with 70 Plates (14 in. by 10 in.) in Photogravure and Tint. Price 30s. net. And a Study of the Master by EMILE MICHEL, Member of the Institute of France. The Tercentenary of Rembrandt (July 15, 1906), is the occasion which rivets the eyes of all civilised people on this great master, and every one wants to acquaint himself with his immortal work. Through this universal interest, and the co-operation of six Publishing Houses, it has been possible to produce a veritable livre de luxe at the price of an ordinary illustrated gift book. The REMBRANDT MEMORIAL is certainly the cheapest book that has ever been published, and it is at the same time one of the most luxurious. It contains not only the finest photogravure work, but some of the most beautiful colour-printing ever done. Its text-paper, specially made, is of the most luxurious texture, and a book such as only princes and millionaires have owned up to now becomes, on this one auspicious occasion, available for very humble purses. It can even be bought on the instalment system, for particulars of which apply for the Prospectus, which every bookseller can submit. LONDON: WM. HEINEMANN, 21 BEDFORD STREET, W.C. AD. VII
