STANDARD LITERATURE OF THE
EASTERN QUESTION.
McCOAN'S EGYPT. Egypt As It Is. By J. C. McCoan. With a Map, taken from
the most recent survey. 8vo. $3.75.
"Very competent, honest and impartial, and does not praise merely for
the sake of praising.... A reader will find in it all about Egypt that
he can reasonably wish to know."--_London Saturday Review_.
UNIFORM WITH THE ABOVE.
"TWO OF THE FOREMOST BOOKS OF THE YEAR IN VALUE AND INTEREST."--_N. Y.
Evening Post_.
WALLACE'S RUSSIA. With two colored Maps. 8vo. $4.00.
"One of the stoutest and most honest pieces of work produced in our
time, and the man who has produced it ... even if he never does
anything more, will not have lived in vain."--_Fortnightly Review_.
"Excellent and interesting ... worthy of the highest praise ... not a
piece of clever book making, but the result of a large amount of
serious study and thorough research.... We commend his book as a very
valuable account of a very interesting people."--_Nation_.
... "The book is excellent from first to last, whether we regard its
livelier or its more serious portions."--_London Athenaeum_.
"It is very seldom that so readable a book as Mr. Wallace's _Russia_
contains so much solid information."--_London Academy_.
"The solid and most valuable chapters ... outfit to be read and re-read
by all who wish to become really and thoroughly acquainted with Russian
institutions. It is impossible to praise them too highly."--_London
Times_.
BAKER'S TURKEY. With two colored Maps. 8vo. $4.00.
"His book is indispensable to a just and impartial decision on the
character of the conflict now pending between the two European powers.
It should be read and even studied in connection with the statements in
the daily prints."--_N. Y. Tribune_.
"Cannot but be regarded as a very useful addition to the literature of
the 'Eastern Question.' ... He is enough of a politician and farmer to
take a keen interest in the social and administrative economy of the
country, and to be able to offer, as he does in this book, a very clear
and careful account of both."--_N. Y. Nation_.
"His work, like Mr. Wallace's, is in many parts a revelation, as it has
had no predecessor, which was so founded upon personal observation, and
at the same time so full of that sort of detailed information about the
habits, the customs, the character and the life of the people who form
its subject, which constitutes the best possible explanation of history
and of current events.... Invaluable to the student, profound or
superficial, of Turkish affairs."--_N. Y. Evening Post_.
