Pegg, J. G. Broughton
Eschatology; Judgment Day
"One of the most fascinating, and certainly not the least important,
books of travel published during the century."--_Boston Eve. Transcript._
_The Nile Tributaries of Abyssinia, and the Sword-Hunters of the Hamran
Arabs._ By SIR SAMUEL WHITE BAKER, M. A., F. R. G. S., &c. With Maps and
numerous Illustrations, from original sketches by the Author. New
edition. Crown 8vo. Extra cloth, $2.75.
"We have rarely met with a descriptive work so well conceived and so
attractively written as Baker's Abyssinia, and we cordially recommend it
to public patronage.... It is beautifully illustrated."--_N. O. Times._
_Eight Years' Wandering in Ceylon._ By Sir SAMUEL WHITE BAKER, M. A., F.
R. G. S., &c. With Illustrations. 16mo. Extra cloth, $1.50.
"Mr. Baker's description of life in Ceylon, of sport, of the cultivation
of the soil, of its birds and beasts and insects and reptiles, of its
wild forests and dense jungles, of its palm trees and its betel nuts and
intoxicating drugs, will be found very interesting. The book is well
written and beautifully printed."--_Balt. Gazette._
"Notwithstanding the volume abounds with sporting accounts, the natural
history of Ceylon is well and carefully described, and the curiosities
of the famed island are not neglected. It is a valuable addition to the
works on the East Indies."--_Phila. Lutheran Observer._
_Hints for Six Months in Europe._ Being the Programme of a Tour through
parts of France, Italy, Austria, Saxony, Prussia, the Tyrol,
Switzerland, Holland, Belgium, England and Scotland, in the Summer of
1868. By JOHN H. B. LATROBE. 12mo. Toned paper. Extra cloth, $1.50.
"It has many of the best advantages of a regular guide-book, with the
additional excellence of being reliable as to facts and trustworthy as
to the opinions it utters."--_New York Christian Advocate._
"Mr. Latrobe had some capital qualifications for producing a good book
about Europe.... The result is a highly satisfactory volume, which we
commend and recommend to travelers, whether they go abroad or stay at
home."--_The Philadelphia Press._
"Is a genuine treasure-book for every new European traveler.... And if
this programme should be carefully studied by one about to start on a
summer tour in Europe, and be substantially followed by the tourist, he
would secure for himself manifold more enjoyment, and save himself from
countless disappointments and vexations which he would be sure otherwise
to experience."--_Boston Evening Traveler._
