Nordhoff's California.

Peninsular California. Some Account of the Climate, Soil, Productions, and Present Condition chiefly of the Northern Half of Lower California. By Charles Nordhoff. Maps and Illustrations. Square 8vo, Cloth, $1 00; Paper, 75 cents.

Mr. Nordhoff has known the region he describes for many years, and is a skilful writer as well as careful observer.—Hartford Courant.

The author frankly writes as an advocate, but, so far as our knowledge goes, with scrupulous fairness.—N. Y. Evening Post.

Mr. Nordhoff supplies copious appendices, giving tables of temperature, rainfall and other meteorological facts of much interest. His book is interesting, valuable, and timely.—Epoch, N. Y.

The reading of this volume has been of special personal pleasure to us, and we doubt not that others will enjoy it too.—Michigan Christian Advocate.

The book is one that those who read merely for information will find interesting and instructive, while there are doubtless many by whom its economical representations will be accepted in the way that Mr. Nordhoff evidently hopes that they will be.—Philadelphia Telegraph.
