“One of the best of recent travel books on a subject which is growing daily in interest and importance. The book is an encyclopedia of information, but the reader is never bewildered among the details, and the main problems of the future are lucidly and undogmatically discussed. The style is simple and colloquial, but it is never slipshod.”
