Art -- Italy -- Venice; Venice (Italy) -- Description and travel
"All in all, a more interesting book upon Florence has seldom been
produced, and it has the double value that, while it should serve
excellently as an aid to the traveler, it is so written as to make a
charming journey even though one's ticket reads no further than the
familiar arm-chair."--_Springfield Republican_.

*A Wanderer in London*
With sixteen illustrations in color by Mr. Nelson Dawson, and thirty-six
reproductions of great pictures.
"Mr. Lucas describes London in a style that is always entertaining,
surprisingly like Andrew Lang's, full of unexpected suggestions and
points of view, so that one who knows London well will hereafter look on
it with changed eyes, and one who has only a bowing acquaintance will
feel that he has suddenly become intimate."--_The Nation_.
_Cloth, 8vo, $1.75 net._
*A Wanderer in Holland*
With twenty illustrations in color by Herbert Marshall, besides many
reproductions of the masterpieces of Dutch painters.
"It is not very easy to point out the merits which make this volume
immeasurably superior to nine-tenths of the books of travel that are
offered the public from time to time. Perhaps it is to be traced to the
fact that Mr. Lucas is an intellectual loiterer, rather than a keen-eyed
reporter, eager to catch a train for the next stopping-place. It is also
to be found partially in the fact that the author is so much in love
with the artistic life of Holland."--_Globe Democrat_, St. Louis.
_Cloth, 8vo, $2.00 net._
*A Wanderer in Paris*
Wherever Mr. Lucas wanders he finds curious, picturesque, and unusual
things to interest others, and his mind is so well stored that
everything he sees is suggestive and stimulating. He is almost as much
at home in Paris as in London, and even those who know the city best
will find much in the book to interest and entertain them.

VOLUMES OF ESSAYS BY E.V. LUCAS
*Character and Comedy*
"Of all the readers of Charles Lamb who have striven to emulate him, Mr.
Lucas comes nearest to being worthy of him. Perhaps it is because it is
natural to him to look upon life and letters and all things with
something of Lamb's gentleness, sweetness, and humor."--_The Tribune_.

*One Day and Another*
"The informality, intimacy, unaffected humor, of these unpretentious
papers make them delightful reading."--_The Outlook_.
