32 FULL-PAGE HALF-TONE ILLUSTRATIONS.
This bewitchingly charming story told in the simplest and most vivid descriptive manner, is so intensely interesting and wonderfully instructive, that it is difficult to conceive of a more delightful volume.
The pen pictures of Mountains, Lakes, Rivers, Waterfalls, Forests, Fountains, Flowers, Monuments, Cities, Inhabitants, in fact every conceivable thing that goes to make up the countries visited, are so beautifully portrayed by the pen of the author, that we had almost forgotten to mention the thirty-one elegantly superb full page Photogravure pictures, which of themselves form an art collection worth far more than the price of the work, and all bound in the most elegant and substantial manner known to the art of book making. It contains 569 pages.
If you are not so fortunate as to be able to visit all parts of the world in person, and desire to converse intelligently with those you meet, whose good fortune has enabled them to visit any other country, state, or territory, you could not read a better book, as a better has not yet been made. The author has carefully photographed everything from the smallest object of interest to the loftiest peaks, and grandest mountain ranges. In fact he has given a perfect inventory of a wide belt of the globe, beginning at Chicago, and running west around the world, until Chicago, the great marvel of the 19th Century, looms up again. The whole is portrayed in such a flowing and inviting manner, that you really feel you are journeying with the author, as he describes the myriads of objects of interest along the way.
