"Mr. Goble has succeeded in a difficult task. He has 'caught the
glory' of the Queen of Cities, and, in the wealth of material for
choice, has seized on those features which, though the most skilful
pencil can convey them only inadequately, best represent their
wonderful variety to those who have never seen them."--_Daily
Chronicle._

This series of little travel books for young people who are of an
age to be interested in the countries of the world and their
peoples has steadily grown on account of its wide popularity. Each
book is written in a simple and very attractive style, and thus the
child gains valuable instruction and a vivid interest in countries,
great cities, and peoples through the sheer pleasure of reading and
by examining the beautiful illustrations. The youthful reader
becomes absorbed in descriptions of how children work and play, and
in the way of living, in the various countries of the world.
The volumes are handsomely bound and splendidly illustrated in
colour.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES
Both "Serbia" and "Servia", "country-side" and "countryside" are found
in this text.
At p. 54, the phrase "I was through the war" may be an error for "I went
through the war", but has been left unchanged.
There is only one typo: "howevre" (on p. 21) has been changed to
"however".
