GIFTS OF FORTUNE
BY H. M. TOMLINSON
Among modern writers of travel books H. M. Tomlinson is preëminent
in the ability to convey the sense of actuality and the thrill of
adventure. With that skill which is peculiarly his own he again
writes of unconventional voyages--in the islands of the East, in the
Malay forests, in the South American jungle and in many other remote
sections of the world.
CONSTANTINOPLE
BY H. G. DWIGHT
“No American has ever better caught the spirit of Turkey than Harry
Dwight. He has a sense of humor and leisure that are altogether
Oriental; and he always writes with charm and distinction.”--_Herbert
Adams Gibbons._
ROYAL SEVILLE
BY E. ALLISON PEERS
“According to Mr. Peers, there is no other place like Seville. And
indeed, unique in its way as Venice, it does intrigue as uniquely.
It is this peculiarly individual appeal that Mr. Peers not only

TOM-TOM
BY JOHN W. VANDERCOOK
“Wonderful stories of ‘magic’ in the jungles of Raleigh’s ‘El
Dorado’ are told by Mr. John W. Vandercook, author of _Tom-Tom_,
a fascinating account of the habits, the beliefs, and the
jungle-science of the black men who inhabit Suriname--the hinterland
of Dutch Guiana.”--_London Daily Express._
TALES OF THE ANGLER’S EL DORADO--NEW ZEALAND
BY ZANE GREY
“Uniquely remarkable as each fishing adventure seems to the ‘compleat
angler,’ it is really so when its scenes are as little known to us as
antipodal New Zealand. Mr. Grey is not only the creator of the verbal
descriptions of its scenic beauty and its sturdy, progressive people,
but of the photographs illustrating both, full page in the majority
of cases and beyond words beautiful.”--_Boston Transcript._
