By MICHAEL MYERS SHOEMAKER
Islands of the Southern Seas
With 80 Illustrations. Second edition. Large 8^o. Gilt top. $2.25.
"The author has not only a cultured style and highly descriptive
power, but a quiet, delightful humor. Moreover, he is always
interesting, even when describing the daily incidents of a tour
through New Zealand and Tasmania.... 'Islands of the Southern
Seas' is one of the few books of modern travel that are worthy
of being kept and read over and over again. The illustrations
throughout are excellent and as fittingly clear and incisive as
the author's style demands. A more readable book on the nowadays
somewhat hackneyed subject of travel in the Southern Seas has
never been printed, and we unhesitatingly commend it."--_London
Chronicle._
Quaint Corners of Ancient Empires
Southern India, Burma and Manila. With 47 illustrations. Large 8^o.
Gilt top. $2.25.
"Mr. Shoemaker writes descriptively, entertainingly, with ease,
one would say. He carried to the 'quaint corners' which he visited
a very inquiring mind, as well as a photographic eye, and sought
out answers to many queries as to the why of things he saw, so
that his observations and recollections are interesting and well
considered."--_Interior._
The Great Siberian Railway from Petersburg to Pekin
8^o. With 30 Illustrations and a Map. By mail, $2.20. Net, $2.00.
"The descriptions of people and places are always interesting; the
personal impressions are striking, and a great deal of valuable
information, not easily accessible, is given."--_Independent._
Simple, direct, and graphic. Emphasizes the commercial
and national possibilities of Russia's industrial
development."--_Literary News._
"The only authority of its kind on a great subject."--_Literary
World._
