English fiction -- 19th century
"Mr. Fleming has many of the best qualities of the
traveller--good spirits, an excellent temper, sound sense, the
faculty of observation, and a literary culture which has
enlarged his sympathies with men and things. He has rendered us
his debtor for much instruction and amusement. The value of his
book is greatly enhanced by the illustrations, as graphic as
copious and well executed, which is saying much."--_Reader._
ADVENTURES AND RESEARCHES among the ANDAMAN ISLANDERS. By Dr. Mouat,
F.R.G.S., &c. with Illustrations.
"Dr. Mouat's book, whilst forming a most important and valuable
contribution to ethnology, will be read with interest by the
general reader."--_Athenæum._
MEMOIRS OF QUEEN HORTENSE, MOTHER OF NAPOLEON III. Cheaper Edition, in
one vol.
"A biography of the beautiful and unhappy Queen, more
satisfactory than any we have yet met with."--_Daily News._
A LADY'S VISIT TO MANILLA & JAPAN. By Anna D'A, with Illustration.
"This book is written in a lively, agreeable, natural style,
and we cordially recommend it as containing a fund of varied
information connected with the Far East, not to be found
recorded in so agreeable a manner in any other volume with
which we are acquainted."--_Press._
THE WANDERER IN WESTERN FRANCE. By G. T. Lowth. Esq., Author of "The
Wanderer in Arabia." Illustrated by the Hon. Eliot Yorke.
"Mr. Lowth reminds us agreeably of Washington
Irving."--_Athenæum._
"If Mr. Lowth's conversation is only half as good as his book,
he must be a very charming acquaintance. The art of gossiping
in his style, never wearying the listener, yet perpetually
conveying to him valuable information, is a very rare one, and
he possesses it in perfection. No one will quit his volume
without feeling that he understands Brittany and La
Vendée."--_Spectator._
THE LAST DECADE of a GLORIOUS REIGN; completing "THE HISTORY of HENRY
IV., King of France and Navarre," from Original and Authentic Sources.
By M. W. Freer, with Portraits.
"The best and most comprehensive work on the reign of Henry IV.
available to English readers."--_Examiner._
A WINTER IN UPPER AND LOWER EGYPT. By G. A. Hoskins, Esq., F.R.G.S.,
with Illustrations.
"An eminently interesting and attractive book, containing much
valuable information. Intending Nile travellers, whether for
science, health, or recreation, could not have a better
companion. Mr. Hoskins's descriptions are vigorous and graphic,
and have the further merit of being fresh and recent, and of
presenting many striking pictures of Egypt and its people in
our own days."--_Herald._
