=V.—­SWISS LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By ALFRED T. STORY, author of the “Building of the British Empire,” etc.

“We do not know a single compact book on the same subject in which Swiss character in all its variety finds so sympathetic and yet thorough treatment; the reason of this being that the author has enjoyed privileges of unusual intimacy with all classes, which prevented his lumping the people as a whole without distinction of racial and cantonal feeling.”—­Nation.

“There is no phase of the lives of these sturdy republicans, whether social or political, which Mr. Story does not touch upon; and an abundance of illustrations drawn from unhackneyed subjects adds to the value of the book.”—­Chicago Dial.

=VI.-SPANISH LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By L. HIGGIN.

“Illuminating in all of its chapters.  She writes in thorough sympathy, born of long and intimate acquaintance with Spanish people of to-day.”—­St. Paul Press.

“The author knows her subject thoroughly and has written a most admirable volume.  She writes with genuine love for the Spaniards, and with a sympathetic knowledge of their character and their method of life.”—­Canada Methodist Review.

=VII.—­ITALIAN LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By LUIGI VILLARI.

“A most interesting and instructive volume, which presents an intimate view of the social habits and manner of thought of the people of which it treats.”—­Buffalo Express.

“A book full of information, comprehensive and accurate.  Its numerous attractive illustrations add to its interest and value.  We are glad to welcome such an addition to an excellent series.”—­Syracuse Herald.

=VIII.—­DANISH LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By JESSIE H. BROCHNER.

“Miss Brochner has written an interesting book on a fascinating subject, a book which should arouse an interest in Denmark in those who have not been there, and which can make those who know and are attracted by the country very homesick to return.”—­Commercial Advertiser.

“She has sketched with loving art the simple, yet pure and elevated lives of her countrymen, and given the reader an excellent idea of the Danes from every point of view.”—­Chicago Tribune.

=IX.—­AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By FRANCIS H. E. PALMER, author of “Russian Life in Town and Country,” etc.

“No volume in this interesting series seems to us so notable or valuable as this on Austro-Hungarian life.  Mr. Palmer’s long residence in Europe and his intimate association with men of mark, especially in their home life, has given to him a richness of experience evident on every page of the book.”—­The Outlook.

“This book cannot be too warmly recommended to those who have not the leisure or the spirit to read voluminous tomes of this subject, yet we wish a clear general understanding of Austro-Hungarian life.”—­Hartford Times.
