These books have found so wide a circle of readers in America that it
has been thought advisable to issue on this side editions which have
been enlarged and brought up to date for the convenience of the
thousands of tourists who, now that foreign travel is permitted, will
find the need of a comprehensive and adequate guide to the art treasures
of Europe. The “stay-at-home,” no less than the tourist, will find
entertainment and information within its pages.

and line. Demy 8vo. £1 1s. net.
_Times._--“A pleasant surprise--it will bring pleasure to the reader
delighted at last to find a work which leaves soldier-work and policies
on one side and devotes itself to the discussion of what is nice in
Macedonia instead of labouring to expose once again that which is
nasty.”

of the year._”--DAILY MAIL.

has enjoyed his life among savages ... and his book is written with the
zest of a schoolboy ... a frank and cheerful book.”
_Times Literary Supplement._--“Mr. Monckton has written a boys’ book for
men. In it something happens on every page.... It is a long book, though
not a page too long.”
_Daily Mail._--“A book of entrancing interest for boys and their
fathers. It is a plain and a true one, and is stranger than fiction. The
most remarkable book of travel and exploration since Stanley’s ‘Darkest
Africa.’”
