=ARMINIUS VAMBÉRY=: His Life and Adventures Written by Himself. With
Portrait and 14 Illustrations. Fifth and Popular Edition. Square
Imperial 16mo., cloth extra. 6s.
"A most fascinating work, full of interesting and curious
experiences."--_Contemporary Review._
"It is partly an autobiographic sketch of character, partly an
account of a singularly daring and successful adventure in the
exploration of a practically unknown country. In both aspects it
deserves to be spoken of as a work of great interest and of
considerable merit."--_Saturday Review._
"We can follow M. Vambéry's footsteps in Asia with pride and
pleasure; we welcome every word he has to tell us about the
ethnography and the languages of the East."--_Academy._
"The character and temperament of the writer come out well in his
quaint and vigorous style.... The expressions, too, in English,
of modes of thought and reflections cast in a different mould
from our own gives additional piquancy to the composition, and
indeed, almost seems to bring out unexpected capacities in the
language."--_Athenæum._
"Has all the fascination of a lively romance. It is the
confession of an uncommon man: an intensely clever,
extraordinarily energetic egotist, well-informed, persuaded that
he is in the right, and impatient of contradiction."--_Daily
Telegraph._
"The work is written in a most captivating manner, and
illustrates the qualities that should be possessed by the
explorer."--_Novoe Vremya, Moscow._
