These new Geographical Readers are by far the .most 

 attractive and instructive books of their kind ever pub- 

 lished. They are not mere compilations of other books 

 or stories of imaginary travels, but they are the results of 

 the author's actual journeys through the different coun- 

 tries, with personal observations of their native peoples, 

 just as they are found to-day in their homes and at their 

 work. These journeys and visits are described in such 

 simple and engaging manner as to make the books as 

 entertaining as stories, while conveying in this attractive 

 way, useful knowledge and information. While they are 

 written in easy familiar style, and in language not above 

 the comprehension of children, they are strictly accurate 

 in every detail and statement. 



The books are well supplied with colored maps and 

 illustrations, the latter mostly reproductions from original 

 photographs taken by the author on the ground. They 

 combine studies in geography with stories of travel and 

 observation in a manner at once attractive and instructive. 

 Their use in connection with the regular text-books on 

 geography and history will impart a fresh and living 

 interest to their lessons.
