AROUND AND ABOUT SOUTH AMERICA: Twenty Months of Quest and Query. By Frank Vincent, author of “The Land of the White Elephant,” etc. With Maps, Plans, and 54 full-page Illustrations. 8vo, xxiv + 473 pages. Ornamental cloth, $5.00.
“South America, with its civilization, its resources, and its charms, is being constantly introduced to us, and as constantly surprises us.... The Parisian who thinks us all barbarians is probably not denser in his prejudices than most of us are about our Southern continent. We are content not to know, there seeming to be no reason why we should. Fashion has not yet directed her steps there, and there has been nothing to stir us out of our lethargy.... Mr. Vincent observes very carefully, is always good-humored, and gives us the best of what he sees.... The reader of his book will gain a clear idea of a marvelous country. Maps and illustrations add greatly to the value of this work.”—New York Commercial Advertiser.
“The author’s style is unusually simple and straightforward, the printing is remarkably accurate, and the forty-odd illustrations are refreshingly original for the most part.”—The Nation.
“Mr. Vincent has succeeded in giving a most interesting and valuable narrative. His account is made doubly valuable by the exceptionally good illustrations, most of them photographic reproductions. The printing of both text and plates is beyond criticism.”—Philadelphia Public Ledger.
