I. FRENCH LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY 



By HANNAH LYNCH. 



" Miss lunch's pages are thoroughly interesting and suggestive. 

 Her style, too, is not common. It is marked by vivacity without 

 any drawback of looseness, and resembles a stream that runs 

 strongly and evenly between walls. It is at once distinguished and 

 useful. . , . Her five-page description (not dramatization) of the 

 grasping Paris landlady is a capital piece of work. . . . Such 

 well-finished portraits are frequent in Miss I^ynch's book, which is 

 small, inexpensive, and of a real excellence." The London Academy. 

 " Miss Lynch 's book is particularly notable. It is the first of a 

 series descnbing the home and social life of various European 

 peoples a series long needed and sure to receive a warm welcome. 

 Her style is frank, vivacious, entertaining, captivating, just the 

 kind for a book which is not at all statistical, political, or contro- 

 versial. A special excellence of her book, reminding one of Mr. 

 Whiteing's, lies in her continual contrast of the English and the 

 French, and she thus sums up her praises: 'The English are 

 admirable : the French are lovable.' " The Outlook. 



II. GERMAN LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY 



By W. H. DAWSON, author of " Germany and the 



Germans," etc. 



"The book is as full of correct, impartial, well-digested, and 

 well-presented information as an egg is of meat. One can only 

 recommend it heartily and without reserve to all who wish to gain 

 an insight into German life. It worthily presents a great nation, 

 now the greatest and strongest in Europe." Com mercial Advertiser. 



Ill RUSSIAN LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY 



By FRANCIS H. E. PALMER, sometime Secretary to 

 H. H. Prince Droutskop-Loubetsky (Equerry to 

 H. M. the Emperor of Russia). 



" We would recommend this above all other works of its charac- 

 ter to those seeking a clear general understanding of Russian life, 

 character, and conditions, but who have not the leisure or inclina- 

 tion to read more voluminous tomes. ... It cannot be too highly 

 recommended, for it conveys practically all that well-informed 

 people should know of 'Our European Neighbours.' "Mail and
