THE LIFE TRAVELS AND BOOKS OF
ALEXANDER VON HUMBOLDT.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY BAYARD TAYLOR.
One handsome 12mo. volume., uniform with “The Letters of Von Humboldt,” elegantly bound in muslin, with an original steel portrait. Price, $1.25.
Containing a full account of his Life from birth to death; a picturesque summary of his Travels and Adventures in the New World and Asia; biographical sketches of his relatives and literary associates; a complete résumé of his various works, with extracts from his most important ones; a lucid statement of his achievements in all departments of science, &c.
“The Life Travels and Books of Alexander von Humboldt has already gone into a fifth edition. It is entertaining as a romance, and contains the cream of Humboldt’s books. The plan of the work is excellent. The biography is combined with the wanderings of the old savant , and the essence of numerous volumes is here artistically condensed into one. A more readable and instructive book has not been lately issued.”— Philadelphia Daily Press.
