MONT PELEE 



and the Tragedy of Martinique 



By PROFESSOR ANGELO HEILPRIN. F. R. G. S. 



President of the Geographical Society of Philadelphia 



^(■'HIS work, almost unique in the class of exploration and scientific research, pre- 

 / I sents the first complete account of the catastrophic events of the island whose 

 \m misfortunes have so aroused the sympathies of the world, and added a chapter 

 to history as interesting as that of the fall of Pompeii and Herculaneum. Prof. Heil- 

 prin's early visit to Martinique permitted him to study the scene of the major disaster 

 very soon after its happening, while his experiences on the still burning volcano, whose 

 crater he was the first to visit after the tragic eighth of May, and during the great 

 eruption of August 30, of which he was a direct observer, were such as to make the 

 narrative describing them one of thrilling interest. 



The author's qualifications as an investigator, geologist, and geographer give to the 

 work its stamp of scientific authority, and it can safely be said that it will remain the 

 standard work on the subject of which it treats for many years in the future. 



The book, in large octavo, contains three hundred and thirty-five pages in text, and 

 there are nearly forty full-page plates, made up in greater part of reproductions from 

 photographs taken by Prof. Heuprin himself. Many of these reveal the volcano in its 

 climax of eruption and in rapidly following successive stages of activity. No such 

 record is to be found elsewhere.

15he Sectional Book Case

Is the case for the home or office. Every one has some books which he wishes to protect. 

 When there are not enough to fill an ordinary book case, one or two sections may be 1 had 

 at a very small expense, and as the number of volumes increases additional sections can 

 be added — and the book case grows as book space is heeded. Whether you have one 

 section or more, you have a complete book case. We carry the " Qunn," the "Casler," 

 and the" Danner " — each has its special feature — in the most popular woods and finishes
