 BRIEF LIST OF BOOKS ON TRAVEL, EXPLORATION AND ADVENTURE, PUBLISHED BY CHARLES SCRIBNER'S SONS, 743 & 745 BROADWAY, NEW YORK CITY. Rev. James Bassett. PERSIA; The Land of the Imams (With Map. 12mo, $1.50). "Scarcely inferior, in general interest, to O'Donovan's "Merv," or Stech's two volumes on Persia, and superior to either in interest for a reader concerned in the evangelization of the country. His pages are crowded with facts and replete with indications of intelligent observations and natural interpretations. We have not found a dull page in it. It is a small book with much in it, and that much good.—New York Independent. Capt. John G. Bourke. THE SNAKE DANCE OF THE MOQUIS OF ARIZONA. With a Description of the Manners and Customs of this Peculiar People (With Colored Plates. 8vo, $5.00.) "A valuable contribution to the study of native American ethnology, while its vivid descriptions of weird scenes, stirring incidents of travel, and characteristic anecdotes, make it very agreeable reading."—London Academy. William T. Brigham. GUATEMALA; The Land of the Quetzal (With 26 full-page Illustrations. 8vo, $5.00.) "Mr. Brigham made a very extensive trip through Guatemala, and he brought to all that met his eye a trained intelligence which detected everything, revealed and promised. He discerned and comprehended much more than any of the natives have divined or hoped for, and his book is the only one extant in any language which discloses what the Guatemalan Republic is or might be."—New York Sun. Henry W. Elliott. OUR ARCTIC PROVINCE, ALASKA AND THE SEAL ISLANDS (Illust. 8vo, $4.50.) "Nothing so complete and satisfactory has ever before appeared in print in this country as this absorbingly interesting and minutely accurate account of the great Alaskan Seal Islands, and the book must now be regarded as the standard authority on 'Our Arctic Province.'"—Chicago Herald. Rev. Henry M. Field, D.D. FROM THE LAKES OF KILLARNEY TO THE GOLDEN HORN (8vo, $2.00). FROM EGYPT TO JAPAN (8vo, $2.00). ON THE DESERT (8vo, $2.00). AMONG THE HOLY HILLS (With a Map. 8vo, $1.50). THE GREEK ISLANDS, and Turkey after the War (With Illustrations and Maps. 8vo, $1.50). OLD SPAIN AND NEW SPAIN (With Map. 8vo. $1.50). BRIGHT SKIES AND DARK SHADOWS (With Maps. 8vo, $1.50). GIBRALTAR (Illustrated. 4to, $2.00). "Dr. Field has an eye that sees very clearly. He knows also how to describe just those things in the different places visited by him which an intelligent man wants to know about. He has, besides, a singularly clear and pleasing style, so that the attention of his reader is never for a moment detained over any obscurity or infelicity of expression, but is at once rewarded by the clear perception of his meaning.—''Dr. Wm. M. Taylor.''
