'One of the greatest books of the kind issued during the century. It is impossible to give an adequate idea of the richness of the contents of this book, nor of its abounding attractions as a story of travel unsurpassed in geographical and human interest. Much of it is a revelation. Altogether the work is one which in solidity, novelty, and interest must take a first rank among publications of its class.'--_Times._ 'In these magnificent volumes we have the most important contribution to Central Asian geography made for many years. Intensely interesting as a tale of travel.'--_Spectator._ 'The whole story of the desert adventure is worthy to be added to the classics of its kind.'--_World._ 'These volumes are of absorbing and fascinating interest, their matter is wonderful, and Dr. Hedin's style is surcharged with strong and alluring personality. No romance exceeds in its intense and enthralling interest this story.'--_Birmingham Post._ 'One of the most remarkable books of travel of the century.'--_Daily Chronicle._ 'Profoundly interesting.'--_Academy._ 'A memorable book, gigantic of design, magnificent in execution, and without doubt one of the outstanding travel-volumes of the century.'--_Black and White._ 'Let any one who is desirous to learn about the wonderful continent of Asia as no one else can teach him, buy and read this work.'--_Vanity Fair._ =R. E. Peary.= NORTHWARD OVER THE GREAT ICE. By R. E. PEARY, Gold Medallist of the Royal Geographical Society. With over 800 Illustrations. _2 vols. Royal 8vo. 32s. net._ 'The book is full of interesting matter--a tale of brave deeds simply told; abundantly illustrated with prints and maps.'--_Standard._ 'His book will take its place among the permanent literature of Arctic exploration.'--_Times._ It yields neither in interest nor in ability to Nansen's "Farthest North," while its results are no less valuable.'--_Glasgow Herald._ 'Crowded with adventures and intensely interesting.'--_World._ 'An exciting and thoroughly well-arranged book.'--_St. James's Gazette._ =G. S. Robertson.= CHITRAL: The Story of a Minor Siege. By Sir G. S. ROBERTSON, K.C.S.I. With numerous Illustrations and a Map. _Second Edition.

More thrilling, more piquant, and more human than any novel.'--_Newcastle Chronicle._ 'One of the most stirring military narratives written in our time.'--_Times._ 'A masterpiece of narrative.'--_Daily Chronicle._
