California: An Englishman’s Impression of the Golden State.
ByA. T. Johnson. With many illustrations. Demy 8vo, cloth gilt, 10s. 6d. net.
Mr. Johnson declares that California is a land “where wealth accumulates and men decay.” He notes the Californian’s egoism and distrust, and, without dwelling on the history or politics of the State, gives a record of observations of the simple and everyday things of life in the Far West.
Everyman’s Eldorado—British South America.
ByEdith A. Browne, Author of “Peeps at Greece and Spain,” etc. Fully illustrated. Demy 8vo, cloth gilt, 125. 6d. net.
British Guiana is an undeveloped country with a high commercial value and a delightful climate: a land where the holiday-maker can explore unbeaten tracks without discomfort and enjoy to the full the fascination of unique surroundings. Miss Edith A. Browne relates the history of the country, discusses its future, and in her charming style gives picturesque descriptions.
Half Hours in the Levant.
ByArchibald B. Spens, Author of “Love’s Outlaws,” etc. With 32 illustrations. Crown 8vo, 1s. net.
Mr. Spens is a novelist of some repute, and this rambling and discursive book of travels in the Near East is enlivened by his “by the way” notes. He visited Algeria, Constantinople, Corsica, Crete, Naples, and many other places of interest. The book might be compared to Mark Twain’s “Innocents Abroad.”
The Lords of the Devil’s Paradise.
ByG. Sidney Paternoster, Author of “The Hand of the Spoiler,” etc. With several illustrations. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 5s. net.
This book tells the story of the Putumayo Rubber Atrocities in its entirety, putting the blame on the right shoulders and showing the steps which led to the exposure. Mr. Paternoster has been for twenty-two years connected with “Truth,” the paper which first published the terrible account, and his description is therefore authoritative. Several illustrations from photographs emphasize the truth of the story.
