WALLACE’S (D. MACKENZIE) RUSSIA. With two maps. 8vo. $4.00.
“One of the stoutest
and most honest pieces of work produced in our
time, and the man who
has produced it ... even if he never does
anything more, will
not have lived in vain.”—Fortnightly
Review.
“Excellent and interesting ... worthy of the highest praise ... not a piece of clever book-making, but the result of a large amount of serious study and thorough research.... We commend his book as a very valuable account of a very interesting people.”—Nation
“The book is excellent
from first to last, whether we regard its
livelier or its more
serious portions.”—London Athenaeum.
BAKER’S (JAMES) TURKEY. 8vo, with two maps. $4.00
“His work, like Mr. Wallace’s, is in many parts a revelation, as it has had no predecessor, which was so founded upon personal observation, and at the same time so full of that sort of detailed information about the habits, the customs, the character, and the life of the people who form its subject, which constitutes the best possible explanation of history and of current events.... Invaluable to the student, profound or superficial, of Turkish affairs.”—N.Y. Evening Post.
BRASSEY’S (MRS.) AROUND THE WORLD IN THE YACHT “SUNBEAM.” Our Home on the Ocean for Eleven Months. With Chart and Illustrations. 8vo.
The history of this leisurely and luxurious cruise of the Brassey family and a few friends, in their own yacht, is given in such easy and familiar style as to make the reader feel almost one of the party.
“We close her
book with a wish that, as Alexander sighed for other
worlds to conquer, so
there were other worlds for the ‘Sunbeam’
to
circumnavigate.”—Literary
World.
“It is altogether
unlike all other books of travel.... We can but
faintly indicate what
the reader may look for in this unrivalled
book.”—London
Spectator.
