“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.
