" The Life Travels and Books of Alexander von 

 Humboldt has already gone into a fifth edition. * * * 

 It is entertaining as a romance, and contains the cream 

 of Humboldt's books. * * * The plan of the work is 

 excellent. The biography is combined with the wan- 

 derings of the old savant, and the essence of numerous 

 volumes is here artistically condensed into one. A 

 more readable and instructive book has not been lately 

 issued." Philadelphia Daily Press.
