=X.—­TURKISH LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By L. M. J. GARNETT.

Miss Garnett, while not altogether ignoring the dark side of life in the Empire, portrays more particularly the peaceable life of the people—­the domestic, industrial, social, and religious life and customs, the occupations and recreations, of the numerous and various races within the Empire presided over by the Sultan.

“The general tone of the book is that of a careful study, the style is flowing, and the matter is presented in a bright, taking way.”—­St. Paul Press.

“To the average mind the Turk is a little better than a blood-thirsty individual with a plurality of wives and a paucity of virtues.  To read this book is to be pleasantly disillusioned.”—­Public Opinion.

=XI.—­BELGIAN LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By DEMETRIUS C. BOULGER.

“The book is one of real value conscientiously written, and well illustrated by good photographs.”—­The Outlook.
