No other American is so much at home in the East Jordan country as Mr. Merrill, and there does not exist in any other language so much fresh and valuable information respecting it. The illustrations which embellish the book are fresh and original, and the style of the narrative is graphic and entertaining. The work is exceedingly interesting as an account of exploration in this field, rich in historic associations.

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.
