A NEW AND VALUABLE SERIES
For Readers of all Ages and for the School & Family Library
_The Illustrated Library_ OF TRAVEL, EXPLORATION AND ADVENTURE.
EDITED BY
BAYARD TAYLOR.
The extraordinary popularity of the ILLUSTRATED LIBRARY OF
WONDERS (nearly _one and a half million_ copies having been sold
in this country and in France) is considered by the publishers a
sufficient guarantee of the success of an ILLUSTRATED LIBRARY OF
TRAVEL, EXPLORATION, AND ADVENTURE, embracing the same decidedly
interesting and permanently valuable features. Upon this new enterprise
the Publishers will bring to bear all their wide and constantly
increasing resources. Neither pains nor expense will be spared in
making their new Library not only one of the most elegantly and
profusely illustrated works of the day, but at the same time one of the
most graphic and fascinating in narrative and description.
