I INDIAN LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY 



By HERBERT COMPTON. 



" Mr. Compton's book is the best book on India, its life and its 

 people, that has been published in a long time. The reader will 

 find!^ it more descriptive and presenting mote facts in a way that 

 appeals to the man of English speech than nine-tenths of the 

 volumes written by travellers. It sets forth the experiences of a 

 quarter of a century, and in that period a man can learn a good 

 deal, even about an alien people and civilization, if he keeps his 

 eyes open. If the other volumes in the series are as good as 

 ' Indian Life in Town and Country ' it will score a decided suc- 

 cess." Brooklyn Eagle. 



" An account of native life in India written from the point of view 

 of a practical man of affairs who knows India from long residence. 

 It is bristling with information, brisk and graphic in style, and 

 open-minded and sympathetic in feeling." Cleveland Leader . 



II. JAPANESE LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY 



By GEORGE WILLIAM KNOX, D.D. 



" The childlike simplicity, yet innate complexity of the Japanese 

 temperament, the strangely mingled combination of new and old, 

 important and worthless, poetic and commercial instincts, aims, 

 and ambitions now at work in the land of the cherry blossom are 

 well brought out by Dr. Knox's conscientious representation. The 

 book should be widely read and studied, being eminently reason- 

 able, readable, reliable, and informative." Record-Herald. 



" A delightful book, all the more welcome because the ablest 

 scholar in Japanese Confucianism that America has yet produced 

 has here given us impressions of man and nature in the Archi- 

 pelago." Evening Post.
