THE BARREN GROUND OF NORTHERN CANADA. By 



J. Warburton Pike. With Maps. 8vo. ^2.00. 



An account of an expedition, full of peril and adventure, undertaken last year 

 in the pursuit of big game in the Barren Ground, — the vast desert that lies 

 between Hudson's Bay, the eastern end of the three great lakes of the North, 

 and the Arctic Sea. 



"... His subject is so new and his experiences so novel that he is sure of 

 a candid hearing from sportsmen, and also from those who are always eager to 

 read about adventures into comparatively unknown regions. . . . Mr. Pike is a 

 brave and fearless hunter, and throws a great deal of enthusiasm into his work." 

 — Boston Herald.

" There can be little doubt about the reception which the book will meet with; 

 it must at once take its place in the first rank among the records of travellers' 

 experiences which have contributed a special charm to the literature of our 

 times." — A ihenceuvt. 



, " The autobiography of Marianne North is an entertaining book. This lady 

 never lacked courage. Her book is full of it, as her life was, and full of the 

 energy of overflowing life and of original — or, at any rate, individual. — views. 

 The autobiography is a record of her passion for travel." — Netv York Tribune. 



" The record, as it stands, is interesting to every class of reader. Miss North's 

 powers of description are not confined to her brush alone, and some of the descrip- 

 tive work of her pen is of a very high merit. She wrote always with a clear con- 

 ciseness, with a very full power of expression, and with an abundance of quiet 

 humor." — Spectator.
