 164 Travellers and Explorers, 1846-1900 Nyanza, etc. (1877), The Three Prophets: Chinese Gordon, Mo- hammed Ahmed {el Maahdi), Arabi-Pasha (1884), and My Life in Four Continents (1912). Italy is not behind Egypt as regards of American travel- literature. There is W. D. Howells' With." Italian Journeys in 1867 and Venetian Life of the year before ; James Jarvis Jackson with Italian Sights and Papal Principalities Seen through Amer- ican Spectacles (1856), and Helen Hunt Jackson's Bits of Travel (1873). Then there are another score or two on Spain ; John Hay's CastilianDays (1871) ; Washington Irving's many contributions; EdwardEverett Hale's Seven Spanish Cities (1899) I William H. Bishop's A House Hunter in Europe [France, Italy, Spain] (1893) ; and Bayard Taylor's The Land of the Saracens (1855). Raphael Pumpelly went Across America and Asia and tells about it in the book of that title published in 1870; W. W. Rockhill made many journeys in Oriental lands. He published Diary of a Journey through Mongolia and Tibet in i8qi-i8q2 (1894). "Sunset" [S. S.] Cox tells of the Diversions of a Diplomat in Turkey (1887); Charles Dudley Warner^" of In the Levant (1895) ; W. T, Homaday of Two Years in the Jungle [India, Ceylon, etc.] (1886) ; and Samuel M. Zwemer of Arabia the Cradle of Islam (1900). The last named has also written on Arabia, which he has studied long at first hand, other im- portant volumes, beyond the horizon of this chapter. Many Americans travelled in Russia, too, and wrote vol- umes about that enigmatical country : Nathan Appleton, Rus- sian Life and Society as Seen in 1866-61 and A Journey to Russia with General Banks i86q (1904) ; Edna Dean Proctor, A Russian Journey (1873); Miss Isabel Hapgood, Russian Ram- bles (1895); C. A. Dana, Eastern Journeys (1898); Eugene Schuyler, iVo^ej of a Journey in Russian Turkestan, Etc. (1876) ; and Poultney Bigelow, Paddles and Politics down the Danube; A Canoe Voyage from the Black Forest to the Black Sea (1892). Charles Augustus Stoddard was another ubiquitous travel- ler whose works are difficult to classify in one group. His Across Russia from the Baltic to the Danube (1891) takes us into rather out-of-the-way paths, and then he strikes for Spanish Cities with Glimpses of Gibraltar and Tangier (1892), only to ' See Book III, Chap. xi. » See Book III, Chap. xiii.
