“You have commenced your story where a great gap occurred in my own
narrative, a gap which you alone could fill up. There is within the
covers of your volume much matter that is quite new to me, much that
is extremely thrilling and exciting, and the whole is related with
very enviable literary tact and skill. With all my heart I commend
to American and English readers this true tale of work manfully and
nobly done and so modestly told.”—_Henry M. Stanley._
Carl Lumholtz.
AMONG CANNIBALS (Fully Illustrated. 8vo, $5.00.)
“We have all read the book with immense interest. It is a work which
will have a _very long_ life, for it is full of wisdom and useful
knowledge; besides, it represents everything so lively before the
reader’s eyes that he forgets he is reading a mere description, and
thinks he is at the author’s side, and shares with him the hardships,
dangers, and joys of a life among cannibals in the wilderness of
Australia. The whole civilized world must be grateful to you for this
really wonderful work.”—_Dr. Henry Schliemann._
_Selah Merrill._
EAST OF THE JORDAN (With Illustrations and Map. New Edition, 8vo,
$2.50.)
No other American is so much at home in the East Jordan country as
Mr. Merrill, and there does not exist in any other language so much
fresh and valuable information respecting it. The illustrations
which embellish the book are fresh and original, and the style of
the narrative is graphic and entertaining. The work is exceedingly
interesting as an account of exploration in this field, rich in
historic associations.
_William Agnew Paton._
DOWN THE ISLANDS (Illustrated. Square 8vo, $2.50.)
“An exceedingly entertaining book of travels, containing nearly
seventy illustrations, including sixteen full-page plates. Mr. Paton
relates what he has seen in the Windward Islands, from St. Kitt’s to
Trinidad, and with this he interweaves a vast amount of official and
historical information, yet without making the book a formal affair.
The story is highly romantic and makes good reading.”—_Boston Beacon._
_W. S. Schley and Prof. J. R. Soley._
THE RESCUE OF GREELY (With Maps and Illustrations. 8vo, $2.00.)
“The work has been singularly well done. The whole story is told in
plain facts, plainly and intellectually stated, and the adjectives
are few. Rarely is a great story narrated so simply and yet so
effectively.”—_N. Y. Times._
_Dr. Henry Schliemann._
ANCIENT MYCENÆ (Illustrated. 4to, cloth extra, $7.50). TIRYNS
(Illustrated. Royal 8vo, $10.00).
“Dr. Schliemann has made the most important contribution of the
present century to Greek archæology.”—_The Nation._ “The interest
of the work is not confined to either England or America. Every
enlightened nation will welcome it, for it opens up a new world
to the modern generation. No work of the time has attracted wider
attention.”—_Boston Post._
_Eugene Schuyler._
