Illustrated. 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $2 50.

In this book are a little history, a little prophecy, a few fascinating statistics, many interesting facts, much practical suggestion, and abundant humor and charm.—Evangelist, N. Y.

It is a book of solid value, such as a clear-headed business man will appreciate, yet it is such a book as only an accomplished man of letters could write. We commend it to all who wish further knowledge of a region too little known by Americans.—Examiner, N. Y.

A Little Journey in the World.

A Novel. Post 8vo, Half Leather, Uncut Edges and Gilt Top, $1 50.

A powerful picture of modern life in which unscrupulously acquired capital is the chief agent.... Mr. Warner has depicted this phase of society with real power, and there are passages in his work which are a nearer approach to Thackeray than we have had from any American author.—Boston Post.

The vigor and vividness of the tale and its sustained interest are not its only or its chief merits. It is a study of American life of to-day, possessed with shrewd insight and fidelity.—GEORGE WILLIAM CURTIS.

Studies in the South and West.

With Comments on Canada. Post 8vo, Half Leather, Uncut Edges and Gilt Top, $1 75.

Y. Commercial Advertiser.

A book most charming—a book that no American can fail to enjoy, appreciate, and highly prize.—Boston Traveller.

Their Pilgrimage.

Richly Illustrated by C. S. REINHART. Post 8vo, Half Leather, Uncut Edges and Gilt Top, $2 00.

Mr. Warner's pen-pictures of the characters typical of each resort, of the manner of life followed at each, of the humor and absurdities peculiar to Saratoga, or Newport, or Bar Harbor, as the case may be, are as good-natured as they are clever. The satire, when there is any, is of the mildest, and the general tone is that of one glad to look on the brightest side of the cheerful, pleasure-seeking world.—Christian Union, N. Y.

Y.

Mr. Nordhoff has personally explored and studied the region and become an owner of property in it, and he may be regarded as fully qualified to speak of what it is and promises to be. Much interesting and valuable information is contained in Mr. Nordhoff's work.—Brooklyn Union.

Those who remember what a good prophet Mr. Nordhoff proved himself to be by his book on "California," issued some sixteen years ago, will read this volume with especial attention.—Louisville Courier-Journal.

Mr. Nordhoff's book is not a traveller's sketch, but an exhaustive study of the country, its rulers, its products, and its inhabitants.—Boston Commercial Bulletin.
