/JCTUAL AFRICA ; or, The Coming Continent. A Tour 

 -*^ of Exploration. By FRANK VINCENT, author of " The Land 

 of the White Elephant," etc. With Map and 102 Illustrations. 

 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 summary, instead of offer- 

 ing 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 merit 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 

 voy agings." Boston Saturday Evening Gazette. 



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

 lic have learned to regard him as one of the most intelligent and observing of travel- 

 ers." New York Tribune. 



AROUND AND ABOUT SOUTH AMERICA : Twenty 

 ** Months of Quest and Query. By FRANK VINCENT. With 

 Maps, Plans, 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 constantly surprises us. ... The Parisian who thinks 

 us all barbarians is probably 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 very 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." New 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." The 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. 



TN AND OUT OF CENTRAL AMERICA ; and Other 

 * Sketches and Studies of Travel. By FRANK VINCENT. With 

 Maps and Illustrations. I2mo. Cloth, $2.00. 



"Few living travelers have had a literary success equal to Mr. Vincent's." 

 Harper's Weekly. 



" Mr. Vincent has now seen all the most interesting parts of the world, having 

 traveled, during a total period of eleven years, two hundred and sixty-five thousand 

 miles. His personal knowledge of man and Nature is probably as varied and com- 

 plete as that of any person living." New York Home Journal.
