From Capetown to Ladysmith: An Unfinished Record of the South African War

WITH KITCHENER TO KHARTUM. With 8 Maps and Plans. Twenty-first Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s.
This book is a masterpiece. Mr Steevens writes an English which is always alive and alert.... The description of the battle of Omdurman reaches, we do not hesitate to say, the high-water mark of literature. — Spectator.
IN INDIA. With a Map. Third Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s.
To read this book is a liberal education in one of the most interesting and least known portions of our Empire. — St James's Gazette.
THE LAND OF THE DOLLAR. Fourth Edition. Crown 8vo, 6s.
One of the smartest books of travel which has appeared for a long time past.... Brings the general appearance of Transatlantic urban and rural life so clearly before the mind's eye of the reader, that a perusal of his work almost answers the purpose of a personal inspection. New York has probably never been more lightly and cleverly sketched. — Daily Telegraph.
WITH THE CONQUERING TURK. With 4 Maps. Cheaper Edition. Demy 8vo, 6s.
This is a remarkably bright and vivid book. There is a delicious portrait of the jovial aide-de-camp, plenty of humorous touches of wayside scenes, servants' tricks, dragoman's English, and vagaries of cuisine. — St James's Gazette.
EGYPT IN 1898. With Illustrations. Crown 8vo, 6s.
Set forth in a style that provides plenty of entertainment.... Bright and readable. — Times.
