Citation Information
PEOPLE OF THE STEPPES. By RALPH Fox. Illustrated. Large Crown 8vo. 8s. 6d. net.
" Mr. Ralph Fox may be hailed as a writer, not merely of distinguished promise, but of more than respectable achievement. His account of his doings and adventures on that wild land south of the Sea of Aral, and his sketches of the queer jumble of primitive savages land of the débris of European and Asiatic civilisations which provide its !population, make one of the most interesting books of travel published for some time past. .. . Mr. Fox , is a man of vision, and is not afraid of his own imaginations."—Sunday Times.
" Mr. Ralph Fox's book on People of the Steppes is replete with the qualities that secure attention—a rapid style, picturesque description, and unhesitating judgement. "—Observer.
RED DEER STALKING IN NEW ZEALAND. By Captain T. E. DONNE. Demy 8vo. Illustrated.'; 21s. net.
BY MAIL AND MESSENGER. By Sir T. COMYNPLATT. Extra Crown 8vo. 10s. 6d. net.
" The main charm of these letters lies in their writer's own personality. The frank record of his fluctuating moods and musings in health and sickness, full of graceful humour and quiet melancholy, and woven around a thread of not obtrusive sentiment, shows how closely the epistolary art at its best approximates to that of the essayist. "—Nation and Athenceuvn.
" Sir; Thomas is an ideal correspondent ; in an age which bestows far too little care upon letter-writing he revives the rich traditions of the eighteenth century. . . . More characteristic even than his descriptions of travel and his records of strange places are the sudden, illuminating sketches of well-known men and women."—Daily Telegraph.
