CAPTAIN JAMES ABBOTT. 



Narrative of a Journey from Herat to Khiva, Moscow, and St 

 Petersburgh during the late Russian invasion at Khiva, with Map 

 and Portrait. 2 vols. , demy 8vo, 245. 



Throughout the whole of his journey, his readers are led to take the keenest 

 interest in himself, and each individual of his little suite. The most remarkable 

 anecdote of this part of his journey is concerning the prosecution of the Jews, for an 

 alleged insult to Mohammedanism, not unlike the pretext of Christian persecutors in 

 the days of the Crusaders. 



From St Petersburgh, Captain Abbott returned to England, where he gives an 

 amusing account of the difficulties, and mental and physical distresses of his Afghan 

 follower. The book concludes with the author's return to India, and with notices of 

 the fate of some of the individuals in whom we have been most interested by his 

 narrative. 



"The work will well repay perusal. The most intrinsically valuable portion is 

 perhaps that which relates to the writer's adventures in Khanrism, and at the Court of 

 Khiva; but the present time imparts a peculiar interest to the sketches of Russian 

 character and policy." London Economist. 



EDWARD L. ANDERSON. 



How to Ride and School a Horse, with a System of Horse 

 Gymnastics. Fourth Edition, revised and corrected, crown 8vo, 



2S. 6d. 



"An admirable practical manual of riding." Scotsman. 



" The book deserves perusal by all who have dealings with horses." Birmingham 

 Gazette. 



" Though practice is of course essential, it is equally necessary that the practice 

 should be guided by some principle, and the aspirant who adopts the methods ex- 

 plained and recommended by Mr Anderson is not likely to regret his choice of an in- 

 structor." Morning Post. 



D. T. ANSTED and R. G. LATHAM. 



The Channel Islands. Revised and Edited by E. Toulmin Nicolle. 

 1 bird Edition, profusely illustrated, crown 8vo, 75. 6d. 



" A useful and entertaining book. The work is well done, and to those who have not 

 even paid a flying visit to this beautiful group it is calculated to cause a strong desire 

 to explore and enjoy its attractions." Daily Chronicle. 



"We are extremely glad to see a new edition of this fascinating work. . . . All 

 who know the Channel Islands should read this admirable book ; and many who read 

 the book will certainly not rest until they know the Channel Islands." Black and White.
