“A book of impressions is ‘Algiers.’... The author narrates the story of this morning land where the East and the West have met; goes down into its life to discover the traces of what has been ... tells the romance of the palaces, describes the passing of the days, sees Lazarus in his rags at the gates, the orange peddlers rolled in their cloaks, asleep on the ground, and gives many glimpses of the native women whose lives are veiled like their faces.”—N. Y. Times.
