CTUAL AFRICA ; or, The Coming Co?itment. A 

 Tour of Exploration. By Frank Vincent, author of "The 

 Land of the White Elephant," etc. With Map and 102 Illus- 

 trations. 8vo. Cloth, $5.00. 



This thorough and comprehensive work furnishes a survey of the entire continent, 

 which this experienced traveler has circumnavigated in addition to his inland explora- 

 tions. The latter have included journeys in northern Africa, Madagascar, southern 

 Africa, and an expedition into the Congo country which has covered fresh ground. His 

 book has the distinction of presenting a comprehensive summarj', instead of ofifering an 

 account of one special district. It is more elaborately illustrated than any book upon 

 the subject, and contains a large map carefully corrected to date. 



" Mr. Frank Vincent's books of travel meiit to be ranked among the very best, not 

 only for their thoroughness, but for the animation of their narrative, and the skill 

 with which he fastens upon his reader's mind the impression made upon him by his 

 voyagings." — Boston Saturday Evening Gazette. 



" A new volume from Mr. Frank Vincent is always welcome, for the reading public 

 have learned 10 regard him as one of the most intelligent and observing of travelers. " — 

 New York Tribune.

ROUND AND ABOUT SOUTH AMERICA: 



Twenty Months of Quest and Queiy. By Feank Vincent. 

 With Maps, Flans, and 54 full-page Illustrations. 8vo, xxiv + 

 473 pages. Ornamental cloth, $5.00. 



"South America, with its civilization, its resources, and its charms, is being con- 

 stantly introduced to us, and as constantly surprises us. . . . The Parisian who thinks 

 us all barbarians is probablj' not denser in his prejudices than most of us are about our 

 Southern continent. We are content not to know, there seeming to be no reason why 

 we should. Fashion has not yet directed her steps there, and there has been nothing 

 to stir us out of our lethargy. . . . Mr. Vincent observes verj' carefully, is always 

 good-humored, and gives us the best of what he sees. . . . The reader of his book will 

 gain a clear idea of a marvelous country. Maps and illustrations add greatly to the 

 value of this work." — Neui York Commercial Advertiser. 



" The author's style is unusually simple and straightforward, the printing is re- 

 markably accurate, and the forty-odd illustrations are refreshingly original for the most 

 part." — T/ie Nation. 



"Mr. Vincent has succeeded in giving a most interesting and valuable narrative. 

 His account is made doubly valuable by the exceptionally good illustrations, most of 

 them photographic reproductions. The printing of both text and plates is beyond 

 criticism." — Philadelphia Public Ledger.
