Rh BAKER'S (JAMES) TURKEY. 8vo, with two maps. $4.00.

"His work, like Mr. Wallace's, is in many parts a revelation, as it has had no predecessor, which was so founded upon personal observation, and at the same time so full of that sort of detailed information about the habits, the customs, the character, and the life of the people who form its subject, which constitutes the best possible explanation of history and of current events. . . . Invaluable to the student, profound or superficial, of Turkish affairs."—N. Y. Evening Post.

BRASSEY'S (MRS.) AROUND THE WORLD IN THE YACHT "SUNBEAM." Our Home on the Ocean for Eleven Months. With Chart and Illustrations. 8vo. $3.50.

The history of this leisurely and luxurious cruise of the Brassey family and a few friends, in their own yacht, is given in such easy and familiar style as to make the reader feel almost one of the party.

"We close her book with a wish that, as Alexander sighed for other worlds to conquer, so there were other worlds for the 'Sunbeam' to circumnavigate. "—Literary World.

"It is altogether unlike all other books of travel. . . . We can but faintly indicate what the reader may look for in this unrivalled book."—London Spectator.

CREASY'S (SIR EDWARD S.) HISTORY OF THE OTTOMAN TURKS. From the Beginning of their Empire to the Present Time. Large 12mo. $2.50.

"It presents a vivid and well-connected account of the six centuries of Turkish growth, conquest, and decline, interwoven with summary views of institutions, national characteristics, and causes of success and failure. It embodies also the results of the studies of a large number of earlier and later writers, and throughout evinces research, independence of judgment, and candor."—Nation.

GROHMAN'S (W. A. BAILLIE) GADDINGS WITH A PRIMITIVE PEOPLE. Being a Series of Sketches of Tyrolese Life and Customs. 16mo. (Leisure Hour Series.) $1.00.

"He has a bright, easy style, and, indeed, most of his adventures are so extraordinary as almost to verge on the brink of the incredible. We can recommend the book as singularly readable from the first chapter to the last."—Saturday Review.

"This is a book such as the public seldom has the opportunity of reading; such, indeed, as a necessarily rare combination of circumstances can alone produce. His volume will indeed amply repay perusal."—London Spectator.

McCOAN'S (J. C.) EGYPT AS IT IS. With a map taken from the most recent survey. 8vo. $3.75.

"We can recommend 'Egypt as It Is' to our readers as supplying a want which is most felt a detailed and a truthful and able account of the country as it is in its moral, material, and economical aspect"—London Athenæum.

WALLACE'S (D. MACKENZIE) RUSSIA. With two maps. 8vo. $4.00.

"One of the stoutest and most honest pieces of work produced in our time, and the man who has produced it . . . even if he never does anything more, will not have lived in vain."—Fortnightly Review.

"Excellent and interesting . . . worthy of the highest praise . . . not a piece of clever book-making, but the result of a large amount of serious study and thorough research. . . . We commend his book as a very valuable account of a very interesting people."—Nation. "The book is excellent from first to last, whether we regard its livelier or its more serious portions."—London Athenæum.
