"A mine of information and stirring incident."—Scotsman.
"Mr. Williams is most catholic in his choice, taking his readers to soar in a balloon with the luckless Andree, to wander in African forests and Australian deserts, to seek for the North Pole with Nansen, and even to note such an up-to-date expedition as that of the 'Discovery' in the Antarctic Regions, to cite but the most prominent. Mr. Williams has done this work most judiciously,...a book which will delight both young and old alike."—Graphic.
"The book unites strong natural attractiveness with valuable geographical information to a degree probably unequalled by any other that might be offered as appropriate for the purpose of a gift book or the recreative library."—School Government Chronicle.
"It is a kind of epitome of the best travel books of our time, and is exceedingly well done."—Academy.
