IN JOYFUL RUSSIA. By John A. Logan, Jr. With 50 Illustrations in color and black and white. 12mo. Cloth, $3.50.
"Of extreme interest from beginning to end. Mr. Logan has animation of style, good spirits, a gift of agreeable and enlivening expression, and a certain charm which may be called companionableness. To travel, with him must have been a particular pleasure. He has sense of humor, a way of getting over rough places, and understanding of human nature. There is not a dull chapter in his book."—New York Times.
"Mr. Logan has written of the things which he saw with a fullness that leaves nothing to be desired for their comprehension; with an eye that was quick to perceive their novelty, their picturesqueness, their national significance, and with a mind not made up beforehand—frankly open to new impressions, alert in its perceptions, reasonable in its judgment, manly, independent, and, like its environments, filled with holiday enthusiasm."—New York Mail and Express.
"No more fresh, original, and convincing picture of the Russian people and Russian life has appeared.… The author has described picturesquely and in much detail whatever he has touched upon.… Few books of travel are at once so readable and so informing, and not many are so successfully illustrated; for the pictures tell a story of their own, while they also interpret to the eye a vivid narrative."—Boston Herald.
