A MONTH

IN

SWITZERLAND.

By the Rev. F. Barham Zincke.

Crown 8vo. 5s.


A SELECTION of NOTICES by the PRESS.

‘Those who care to read Mr. Barham Zincke’s works will gladly welcome another from his hand, and will know pretty well what to expect in it. They will look for occasional pages of vivid and humorous description, interspersed with a much larger allowance of trains of reflection on a great variety of topics, which are always sensible, often new, and never dull. These expectations will be fully realised in reading “A Month in Switzerland.”... There is one remarkable chapter of a hundred pages, very well written, which is a little lecture on the various forms of land tenure, and the social and moral results that flow from them. Mr. Barham Zincke, in spite of the attractive aspect which industry wears in the Valley of the Visp, is not in favour of peasant proprietorship. It is not, he thinks, in harmony with the spirit of the age, which recognises capital and not land as king.’

Guardian.

‘We part from these results of a month in Switzerland with imperfect sympathy, indeed, in some points, but with satisfaction in most, and with respect in all.’

Saturday Review.

‘There is quite enough in this little volume to arrest the attention of anybody who cares for an hour’s intercourse with the mind of one who has carefully pondered some of the deepest problems which affect the physical well-being of his fellow creatures.’

Spectator.

‘The preface to Mr. Barham Zincke’s holiday notes on Switzerland warns “those who may have read his ‘Egypt of the Pharaohs and of the Khedivé’ that this little book belongs to the same family.” We are thus prepared for the same features of thought, the same observant eye, the same cast of mind, at once penetrative and receptive, that were displayed so conspicuously in Mr. Zincke’s former work; nor are we disappointed.’

Examiner.

‘Mr. Zincke’s dissertation on this most important subject (the land question) deserves careful attention, coming, as it does, from a man whose previous works have thoroughly established his reputation as a thoughtful and original writer. Indeed, Mr. Zincke’s book is well worth reading for the fourth chapter alone.’

Daily Telegraph.

‘It is eminently a thoughtful book.’

EGYPT OF THE PHARAOHS

AND OF

THE KHEDIVÉ.

By the Rev. F. BARHAM ZINCKE.

Second Edition, much Enlarged. With a Map. Demy 8vo. 16s.


SELECTION from NOTICES by the PRESS.

‘We have in this volume a thoughtful, almost exhaustive, treatment of a subject too often handled by mere dilettante writers, who dismiss as unworthy of notice the problems with which they are unable to cope.... We heartily commend Mr. Zincke’s delightful book as a fresh pleasure to the thoughtful reader.’

Spectator.

‘A more independent and original volume of Egyptian travel than at this time of day we should have thought possible. Mr. Zincke has a quickness of eye, a vigour of judgment, and a raciness of style which place him far above the ordinary run of travellers.... Readers will lose much if they do not make some acquaintance with this truly remarkable volume.’

Literary Churchman.

‘Each chapter takes some one topic, treats it in sharp piquant style, and generally throws some new light upon it, or makes it reflect some new light upon something else. If these bright and sparkling pages are taken as containing suggestions to be worked out for oneself and accepted or rejected in the light of more mature knowledge, they will be found full of value.’

Guardian.

‘Mr. Zincke speaks like a man of rare powers of perception, with an intense love of nature in her various moods, and an intellectual sympathy broad and deep as the truth itself.’

Saturday Review.

‘A very pleasant and interesting book.... Mr. Zincke tells his readers exactly such facts as they would wish to know. The style is captivating.

Westminster Review.

‘A series of brilliant and suggestive essays.’

Examiner.

‘Mr. Zincke’s personal observations, original remarks, and practical views, make him worthy of being consulted by all who desire to have something more than a picturesque and sentimental description of the peculiarities belonging to modern Egypt.’
