SOUTH AMERICA :

Observations and Impressions By the Rt. Hon. JAMES BRYCE, O.M.

With Maps. 8vo. 8s. 6d. net.

Daily Mail. — ''Mr. Bryce has written one of the most fascinating books of travel in our language, and he has at the same time contrived to give the world a valuable political study of the chief South American States."

Daily News. — "This book is a gift for which to thank the gods. ... It is impossible to give more than a faint hint of all the wealth of reflection, observa- tion, and learning in these chapters. The whole book is memorable, worthy of the topic and the man."

Daily Telegrraph. — "Although the author refers to the contents of this book as * observations and im- pressions ' made and recorded during a four months' journey in South America, his work is, as may be readily imagined, far from being the superficial study which such a description might imply. . . . Accurate and essential information, cautious and well-considered speculation, judgment based not only on shrewd observation of the matter in hand, but on an easy familiarity with the comparisons afforded by the world at large and its history, these things go to the making of books which students prize. When they treat, as Mr. Bryce's book treats, of races and civiUsations im- perfectly understood outside their own geographical borders, they may be said to possess an international value. "
