Geil. With Illustrations, Demy 8vo. 2is. net. 



" The publication of ' The Great Wall of China ' is a notable event. It ought to rank 

 as a classic upon this greatest and grandest of all the world's monuments." — Leech Mcnnry. 



" It is not within our memory that the Great Wall has been so thoroughly and com- 

 pletely explored before. There hardly seemed a nook or a cranny which Dr. Geil has not 

 looked into. He puts before us in graphic and picturesque language the history of Chin, 

 who conceived the idea of the Wall : he tells us in a manner which almost persuades us we 

 are reading a romance how the great Chin gathered his army of men to fight and work. Dr. 

 Geil has given us a vitally interesting book." — Daily Grapliu:
