THE SIEGE OF KUMASSI
By Lady Hodgson, wife of Sir Frederick M. Hodgson, Governor of the Gold Coast. Demy 8vo. Profusely Illustrated. Price 21s.
Lady Hodgson has in a high degree the gift of vivid and realistic description. The reader shares with her the privations of the siege, the tense excitement of her marvellous escape, and the peril of the bush. The account is written with an unusual power of description and facility of style.
ABYSSINIA
Through the Lion Land to the Court of the Lion of Judah.
By Herbert Vivian, Author of "Tunisia," "Servia." Demy 8vo. With 2 Maps and 80 Illustrations. Price 15s.
The Land of the Lion offers much that is of great interest to the student of ethnology and geography. Mr. Vivian has made a valuable addition to the library of travel. His observations show a keen appreciation of surroundings, whether social, religious, or political. His style is bright, and holds the reader's interest to the last page.
