“Their joint work is a very attractive book. Its illustrations are charming. Mr. Henderson’s descriptive chapters are not to be taken too seriously; they are light, bright, and rapid, not to say slap-dash here and there, and they display, as is only to be expected, not a few of the defects of those attractive qualities.”

“The pictures of negro types are full of character and individuality. The reproductions are unusually good. The text of the book consists of the observations of a traveler, chatty and genial, but not penetrating to any great depth.”
