IV. DUTCH LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY 



By P. M. HOUGH, B.A. 



" There is no other book which gives one so clear a picture of 

 actual life in the Netherlands at the present date. For its accurate 

 presentation of the Dutch situation in art, letters, learning, and 

 politics as well as in the round of common life in town and city, 

 this book deserves the heartiest praise." Evening Post. 



"Holland is always interesting, in any line of study. In this 

 work its charm is carefully preserved. The sturdy toil of the people, 

 their quaint characteristics, their conservative retention of old dress 

 and customs, their quiet abstention from taking part in the great 

 affairs of the world are clearly reflected in this faithful mirror. The 

 illustrations are of a high grade of photographic reproductions." 

 Washington Post. 



V SWISS LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY 



By ALFRED T. STORY, author of the " Building of 

 the British Empire," etc. 



" We do not know a single compact book on the same subject 

 in which Swiss character in all its variety finds so sympathetic and 

 yet thorough treatment ; the reason of this being that the author 

 has enjoyed privileges of unusual intimacy with all classes, which 

 prevented his lumping the people as a whole without distinction 

 of racial and cantonal feeling." Nation. 



"There is no phase of the lives of these sturdy republicans, 

 whether social or political, which Mr. Story does not touch upon ; 

 and an abundance of illustrations drawn from unhackneyed sub- 

 jects adds to the value of the book." Chicago Dial. 



VI. SPANISH LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY 



By L. HIGGIN. 



"Illuminating in all of its chapters. She writes in thorough 

 sympathy, born of long and intimate acquaintance with Spanish 

 people of to-day." St. Paul Press. 



"The author knows her subject thoroughly and has written a 

 most admirable volume. She writes with genuine love for the 

 Spaniards, and with a sympathetic knowledge of their character 

 and their method of life." Canada Methodist Review.
