William Agnew Paton.
DOWN THE ISLANDS (Illustrated. Square 8vo, $2.50.)
“An exceedingly entertaining book of travels, containing nearly seventy illustrations, including sixteen full-page plates. Mr. Paton relates what he has seen in the Windward Islands, from St. Kitt’s to Trinidad, and with this he interweaves a vast amount of official and historical information, yet without making the book a formal affair. The story is highly romantic and makes good reading.”—Boston Beacon.
W. S. Schley and Prof. J. R. Soley.
THE RESCUE OF GREELY (With Maps and Illustrations. 8vo, $2.00.)
“The work has been singularly well done. The whole story is told in plain facts, plainly and intellectually stated, and the adjectives are few. Rarely is a great story narrated so simply and yet so effectively.”—N. Y. Times.
Dr. Henry Schliemann.
ANCIENT MYCENÆ (Illustrated. 4to, cloth extra, $7.50). TIRYNS (Illustrated. Royal 8vo, $10.00).
“Dr. Schliemann has made the most important contribution of the present century to Greek archæology.”—The Nation. “The interest of the work is not confined to either England or America. Every enlightened nation will welcome it, for it opens up a new world to the modern generation. No work of the time has attracted wider attention.”—Boston Post.
Eugene Schuyler.
TURKISTAN (New Edition. 2 vols., 8vo, $5.00.)
“One of the most valuable and fascinating of publications. The author has the eye and pen of a journalist, and sees at once what is worth seeing, and recites his impressions in the most graphic manner.”—N. Y. World.
Herbert H. Smith.
BRAZIL; THE AMAZONS AND THE COAST (Illustrated. 8vo, $5.00.)
“Mr. Smith, an American who has lived and traveled for the greater part of eight years in Brazil, gives so excellent an account of that country that we cannot regret this addition to the already extensive literature of the subject. The book is a very successful attempt to present a comprehensive picture, drawn both from the experience of the author and from that of previous Brazilian and foreign writers, of the present state of Brazil.”—London Academy.
Henry M. Stanley.
IN DARKEST AFRICA (With Maps and Illustrations. 2 vols., 8vo, $7.50.) Sold only by subscription. HOW I FOUND LIVINGSTONE. (With Maps and Illustrations. 8vo, $3.50.)
“This is the noblest record of the achievements of a man of action which this generation has known. Mr. Stanley writes his book very much as he marches through Africa—with the irresistible energy of an imperious will. These volumes have descriptive passages of singular excellence; the style is trenchant, vigorous and clear; and the literary workmanship is markedly superior to that of any of his previous work.”—New York Tribune.
Thomas Stevens.
AROUND THE WORLD ON A BICYCLE (200 Illustrations. 2 vols., 8vo, $8.00.)
“This book will be found very interesting. All wheelmen will want to have the history of the greatest bicycle journey ever accomplished; the lover of adventure will find it richly to his taste; and the general reader will find in the descriptions of persons, places and customs in far-off lands, much to please and interest.”—The Boston Times.
Bayard Taylor.

IN SCRIPTURE LANDS (With 150 Illustrations from photographs. Large 8vo, $3.50.)
