A lively and chatty book of travel, with pen-pictures humorous and graphic, that are decidedly out of the “beaten paths” of description.
A SUMMER IN THE AZORES, with a Glimpse of Madeira. By Miss C. Alice Baker. Little Classic style. Cloth. Gilt edges. $1.25.
“Miss Baker gives us a breezy, entertaining description of these picturesque islands. She is an observing traveller, and makes a graphic picture of the quaint people and customs.”—Chicago Advance.
ENGLAND FROM A BACK WINDOW; With Views of Scotland and Ireland. By J. M. Bailey, the “‘Danbury News’ Man.” Cloth, $1.00. Paper, 50 cents.
“The peculiar humor of this writer is well known. The British Isles have never before been looked at in just the same way,—at least, not by any one who has notified us of the fact. Mr. Bailey’s travels possess, accordingly, a value of their own for the reader, no matter how many previous records of journeys in the mother country he may have read.”—Rochester Express.
OVER THE OCEAN; or, Sights and Scenes in Foreign Lands. By Curtis Guild, editor of “The Boston Commercial Bulletin.” Crown 8vo. Cloth, $2.50.
“The utmost that any European tourist can hope to do is to tell the old story in a somewhat fresh way, and Mr. Guild has succeeded in every part of his book in doing this.”—Philadelphia Bulletin.
ABROAD AGAIN; or, Fresh Forays in Foreign Fields. Uniform with “Over the Ocean.” By the same author. Crown 8vo. Cloth, $2.50.
“He has given us a life-picture. Europe is done in a style that must serve as an invaluable guide to those who go ‘over the ocean,’ as well as an interesting companion.”—Halifax Citizen.
GERMANY SEEN WITHOUT SPECTACLES; or, Random Sketches of Various Subjects, Penned from Different Stand-points in the Empire. By Henry Ruggles, late U. S. Consul at the Island of Malta, and at Barcelona, Spain. $1.50.
