Fraser, John Foster. Pictures from the Balkans. $2. Cassell.
The author’s wanderings led him from Belgrade thru Servia, across the Turkish frontier, thru Albania and various parts of Macedonia, Bulgaria, in and out thru cities and wild mountainous country. He tells, in a pleasing fashion of the people and things which he encountered, of the strange medley of nations, governments and religions, of all the contending forces which go to make up that whirlpool known as the Balkans. Forty full page plates from photographs illustrate the volume.
