(AND SOUTH AMERICA) 

 By WALTER H. YOUNG 



(TARAPACA) 



irith 36 Illustrations. Second Edition. 5s. net. 



Mr. Walter H. Young was formerly of the Chartered Bank 

 of India, Australia and China, and is the late General 

 Manager in Chile of the Bank of Tarapacd (now the Anglo- 

 South American Bank). 



In "A Merry Banker in the Far East (and South 

 America) " Mr. Young tells his personal experiences in these 

 distant lands — experiences relating for the most part to the 

 lighter side of banking, and described in a very entertaining 

 manner. His narrative is enlivened by many diverting 

 stories, and is copiously illustrated from excellent photo- 

 graphs, the whole forming a most delightful volume. 

 Mr. Young first touches upon the city life of a bank clerk, 

 then life in Manila and Iloilo, later giving his reminiscences 

 as an accountant in Hong Kong, and his recollections of 

 incidents when he travelled extensively all over Chile, 

 Patagonia and Bolivia as General Manager of his Bank. 



" Mr. Young is at all times racy and frank, lively and piquant. He is 

 a bon vivant of a type which we pray may never become extinct." 



Daily Telegraph. 



"One of the liveliest books of recent days. Full of adventure and 

 lively anecdote." — Daily Graphic. 



" Mr. Young- writes in a breezy manner which veils considerable 

 literary ability. He was indeed a merry banker." — Truth. 



" The author tells a story worthy of Balzac." — Globe. 



" The great charm of the narrator is that he can tell good stories." 



World. 



" A volume one would rejoice to find on the smoking-room table."
