TURKISTAN (New Edition. 2 vols., 8vo, $5.00.)
“One of the most valuable and fascinating of publications. The author
has the eye and pen of a journalist, and sees at once what is worth
seeing, and recites his impressions in the most graphic manner.”—_N.
Y. World._
_Herbert H. Smith._
BRAZIL; THE AMAZONS AND THE COAST (Illustrated. 8vo, $5.00.)
“Mr. Smith, an American who has lived and traveled for the greater
part of eight years in Brazil, gives so excellent an account of that
country that we cannot regret this addition to the already extensive
literature of the subject. The book is a very successful attempt to
present a comprehensive picture, drawn both from the experience of
the author and from that of previous Brazilian and foreign writers,
of the present state of Brazil.”—_London Academy._
_Henry M. Stanley._
IN DARKEST AFRICA (With Maps and Illustrations. 2 vols., 8vo, $7.50.)
_Sold only by subscription._ HOW I FOUND LIVINGSTONE. (With Maps and
Illustrations. 8vo, $3.50.)
“This is the noblest record of the achievements of a man of action
which this generation has known. Mr. Stanley writes his book very
much as he marches through Africa—with the irresistible energy of an
imperious will. These volumes have descriptive passages of singular
excellence; the style is trenchant, vigorous and clear; and the
literary workmanship is markedly superior to that of any of his
previous work.”—_New York Tribune._
_Thomas Stevens._
AROUND THE WORLD ON A BICYCLE (200 Illustrations. 2 vols., 8vo,
$8.00.)
“This book will be found very interesting. All wheelmen will want to
have the history of the greatest bicycle journey ever accomplished;
the lover of adventure will find it richly to his taste; and the
general reader will find in the descriptions of persons, places and
customs in far-off lands, much to please and interest.”—_The Boston
Times._
_Bayard Taylor._
ILLUSTRATED LIBRARY OF TRAVEL—TRAVELS IN JAPAN, ARABIA, SOUTH AFRICA,
CENTRAL ASIA, CENTRAL AFRICA, SIAM (Six volumes, each Illustrated.
12mo, $1.25.)
“Authenticated accounts of countries, peoples, modes of living and
being, curiosities in natural history, and personal adventure in
travels and explorations, suggest a rich fund of solid instruction
combined with delightful entertainment. The editorship, by one of the
most observant and well-traveled men of modern times, at once secures
the high character of the ‘Library’ in every particular.”—_The Sunday
School Times._
_Edward L. Wilson._
IN SCRIPTURE LANDS (With 150 Illustrations from photographs. Large
8vo, $3.50.)
“Here we have a man with the courageous spirit of an explorer, a
good pair of eyes, a good camera, and a good literary style. We have
seen no work of exploration and travel in those lands which gives
so clear an idea of them and of the historic remains and scenes as
this.”—_Chicago Interior._
