Citation Information
THE GREAT WALL OF' CHINA. By Dr. W. E.
Geil. With Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 21S. net.
" The publication of ` The Great Wall of China' is a notable event. It ought to rank as a classic upon this greatest and grandest of all the world's monuments."—Leeds Mercury.
" It is not within our memory that the Great Wall has been so thoroughly and completely explored before. There hardly seemed a nook or a cranny which Dr. Geil has not looked into. He puts before us in graphic and picturesque language the history of Chin, who conceived the idea of the Wall : he tells us in a manner which almost persuades us we are reading a romance how the great Chin gathered his army of men to fight and work. Dr. Geil has given us a vitally interesting book."—Daily Graphic.
IMPRESSIONS OF JAPAN. By G. H. Rittner.
Illustrated by a Series of beautiful Photographs taken by the Author. Second Edition. Square demy 8vo. ins. 6d. net.
" Mr. Rittner has evidently made a close study of many interesting aspects of Japanese life ... he is gifted with a very clear and simple descriptive style, his graphic accounts of the people, their customs, and their modes of life may be read with great advantage."—World.
GENTLEMEN ERRANT. Being the Journeys and
Adventures of Four Noblemen in Europe in the XVth and XVIth Centuries. By Mrs. Henry Cust. With Map and Portraits. Demy 8vo. 125. net.
" These are four Goodly Gentlemen. All the credulity, brutality, rough humour, pomp, and slaughter of their time are presented in these pages. Mrs. Cust has, to use an extravagant metaphor, succeeded in driving the worm of meticulous scholarship and the high-stepping steed of romance in double harness. Vivid as they are, her tales are true metal and have an infinite charm."—Observer.
AN EGYPTIAN OASIS. By H. J. Llewellyn
Beadnell. With Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 1Os. 6d. net.
Morning Post.
SERVICE AND SPORT ON THE TROPICAL
NILE. By Captain C. A. Sykes, R.H.A. With Map and Illustrations. Square crown 8vo. its. net.
Sir Harry H. Johnston, writing in the Daily Chronicle, says : " The work is well worth reading from beginning to end, and conveys a very accurate impression of the country, the scenery, the natives, and the magnificent wild beasts."
QUIET DAYS IN SPAIN. By C. Bogue Luff-
mann, Author of " A Vagabond in Spain." Demy 8vo. 8s. net.
" . A diary in which the continual change of impression, and especially of the impres-
sion of personalities, is abundant and vivid. The Sixteenth Chapter, that upon Montserrat, is particularly excellent, and may stand for a sample of the whole book."—Morning Post.
" An entertaining and observant book by a writer who has wandered and mixed with the people in almost every quarter of Spain."—Times.
" . . . This delightful record of leisurely travel."—Pall Mall Gazette.
" . The book has the indefinable quality of charm. Moreover, his pages bear such
mellow fruit, they are so sweet and ingratiating, that nobody can possibly quarrel with
him."—Evenistg Standard.
