"Miss Brochner has written an interesting book on a fascinating subject, a book which should arouse an interest in Denmark in those who have not been there, and which can make those who know and are attracted by the country very homesick to return."--_Commercial Advertiser._ "She has sketched with loving art the simple, yet pure and elevated lives of her countrymen, and given the reader an excellent idea of the Danes from every point of view."--_Chicago Tribune._ =IX.--AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY= By FRANCIS H. E. PALMER, author of "Russian Life in Town and Country," etc. "No volume in this interesting series seems to us so notable or valuable as this on Austro-Hungarian life. Mr. Palmer's long residence in Europe and his intimate association with men of mark, especially in their home life, has given to him a richness of experience evident on every page of the book."--_The Outlook._ "This book cannot be too warmly recommended to those who have not the leisure or the spirit to read voluminous tomes of this subject, yet we wish a clear general understanding of Austro-Hungarian life."--_Hartford Times._ =X.--TURKISH LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY= By L. M. J. GARNETT. Miss Garnett, while not altogether ignoring the dark side of life in the Empire, portrays more particularly the peaceable life of the people--the domestic, industrial, social, and religious life and customs, the occupations and recreations, of the numerous and various races within the Empire presided over by the Sultan. "The general tone of the book is that of a careful study, the style is flowing, and the matter is presented in a bright, taking way."--_St. Paul Press._ "To the average mind the Turk is a little better than a blood-thirsty individual with a plurality of wives and a paucity of virtues. To read this book is to be pleasantly disillusioned."--_Public Opinion._ =XI.--BELGIAN LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY= By DEMETRIUS C. BOULGER. "Mr. Boulger has given a plain, straight-forward account of the several phases of Belgian Life, the government, the court, the manufacturing centers and enterprises, the literature and science, the army, education and religion, set forth informingly."--_The Detroit Free Press._ "The book is one of real value conscientiously written, and well illustrated by good photographs."--_The Outlook._ =XII.--SWEDISH LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY= By G. VON HEIDENSTAM.
