Lorimer, Norma Octavia. By the waters of Carthage. **$2.50. Pott.
7–4809.
“There is something fresh and original about this book of travel. The writer ... expresses herself in letters to her husband, and her observations are full of personal bits and scrappy digression.... The Oriental life of Tunis is presented in all its color and variety, and the ruins of Carthage are suggested with quite an imaginative touch.... The photographs, by Garrigues, a Tunis photographer, are unusually fine.”—Outlook.
“The book is open to many criticisms, with its bits of improbable romance and its free and easy style; but it is really interesting.”
