" Mr. Putnam has an eye not only for quaint humanity, 

 but also for the beautiful seen ry, and without letting his 

 pen run away from him he sketches effectively many in- 

 viting pictures. . . . His attitude is so frank and unassum- 

 ing that his comments, slight as they are, carry more 

 rather than less weight, for they are obviously sincere, are 

 supported by such observation as he has been able to 

 make himself, and seem free from prejudice." Springfield 

 Republican. 



" Shows a keen sense of actuality, a lively pen, and a 

 well-directed camera. ... It is really an amusing and in- 

 structive and tempting account of travel in the byways 

 just of! the new highway." N. Y. Sun. 



41 There has, perhaps, been no more satisfactory work on 

 Central America, not excepting the letters of James Bryce, 

 than this. A valuable impression of this vast country." 



Gazette Times, Pittsburg. 



" We know of no book on Central America which puts 

 the reader into more actual touch with that country than 

 does Mr. Putnam's." The Outlook. 



" A much needed book of travel and of reference."
