“Scarcely inferior, in general interest, to O’Donovan’s “Merv,” or
Stech’s two volumes on Persia, and superior to either in interest for
a reader concerned in the evangelization of the country. His pages
are crowded with facts and replete with indications of intelligent
observations and natural interpretations. We have not found a dull
page in it. It is a small book with much in it, and that much
good.”—_New York Independent._
_Capt. John G. Bourke._
THE SNAKE DANCE OF THE MOQUIS OF ARIZONA. With a Description of the
Manners and Customs of this Peculiar People (With Colored Plates.
8vo, $5.00.)
“A valuable contribution to the study of native American ethnology,
while its vivid descriptions of weird scenes, stirring incidents
of travel, and characteristic anecdotes, make it very agreeable
reading.”—_London Academy._
_William T. Brigham._
GUATEMALA; The Land of the Quetzal (With 26 full-page Illustrations.
8vo, $5.00.)
“Mr. Brigham made a very extensive trip through Guatemala, and he
brought to all that met his eye a trained intelligence which detected
everything, revealed and promised. He discerned and comprehended
much more than any of the natives have divined or hoped for, and his
book is the only one extant in any language which discloses what the
Guatemalan Republic is or might be.”—_New York Sun._
_Henry W. Elliott._
OUR ARCTIC PROVINCE, ALASKA AND THE SEAL ISLANDS (Illust. 8vo, $4.50.)
“Nothing so complete and satisfactory has ever before appeared in
print in this country as this absorbingly interesting and minutely
accurate account of the great Alaskan Seal Islands, and the book
must now be regarded as the standard authority on ‘Our Arctic
Province.’”—_Chicago Herald._

“Dr. Field has an eye that sees very clearly. He knows also how
to describe just those things in the different places visited by
him which an intelligent man wants to know about. He has, besides,
a singularly clear and pleasing style, so that the attention of
his reader is never for a moment detained over any obscurity or
infelicity of expression, but is at once rewarded by the clear
perception of his meaning.”—_Dr. Wm. M. Taylor._
