TWO GIRLS ON A BARGE. By V. Cecil Cotes. Illustrated by F. H. Townsend. 12mo. Cloth. $1.00.
A bright, vivacious sketch of odd people and curious experiences, illustrated by the artist who illustrated “A Social Departure” and “An American Girl in London,” both of which will be recalled by the good spirits of this equally unconventional record of a journey down the Thames.
“For something entirely original, piquant, and worthy of rapt attention, we commend this little volume.”—New York Journal of Commerce.
“Describes with great vivacity a vacation trip on an English canal; and the experiences of the two young ladies and a young gentleman are set forth with a thorough appreciation of the novel situations in which the party often found itself. The forty-four illustrations are fully in harmony with the light and entertaining character of the text.”—Boston Saturday Evening Gazette.
AN ENGLISH WOMAN’S RECORD OF HER LIFE IN AFRICA.
HOME LIFE ON AN OSTRICH FARM. By Annie Martin. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.25.
“Not in many days has a more interesting volume descriptive of life in a remote land been offered to the public. It is so brightly written, so cheery, so pervaded by the South African sunlight, as it were, that the reader regrets the rapidity with which he finds himself making his way through its charming pages.”—New York Times.
“One of the most charming descriptions of African experience that have come under our notice.… The work does not contain a dull page. It is a sparkling little book, of which it would be difficult to speak too highly.”—London Athenæum.
“With fluent simplicity and feminine animation the author chats delightfully of the quaint daily happenings on her husband’s farm of twelve thousand acres in the Karroo district of Cape Colony.… The reader will peruse every page with keen enjoyment, and will feel grateful admiration for the clever, plucky, womanly woman who calls herself ‘Annie Martin.’ ”—New York Sun.
