20C Full-page Illustrations, 24 Pages in Matchless Four Colors, 20,000 Words of Descriptive Text 

 By GILBERT GROSVENOS, Editor National Geographic Magazine 



EXCELLING in beauty and in compelling interest its three predecessors, the 

 fourth volume of the National Geographic Society's "Scenes" series may now 

 be secured from the Washington headquarters of the Society. The first two 

 series of "Scenes from Every Land" have been entirely exhausted and cannot 

 be had at any price, while only a few copies remain of the third. To insure your copy 

 of the new series you should order at once. 



"Scenes from Every Land" is like no other book in the world. It occupies a unique 

 place in the literature of the universal language — the language of pictures, through 

 which man becomes acquainted with his fellow-man on the other side of the world. The 

 Editor has selected 200 photographic gems from the Society's great treasure-house of 

 pictures, which is being constantly enriched by contributions from explorers, scientists, 

 world-travelers, artists, and lovers of nature in every quarter of the globe. These 

 pictures tell their own story of strange peoples, odd customs, the history of ancient 

 civilizations written in the massive ruins of their temples, palaces, and amphitheaters, 

 the master achievements of modern engineers — the builders of canals, bridges, and 

 cities — and the inspiring manifestations of the handiwork of Nature, wrought in mist- 

 crowned mountains, shimmering waterfalls, and landscapes of magic beauty. 



The Society is able to publish this volume, which includes 24 pages in full colors, at 

 a nominal price, owing to the fact that most of the illustrations have appeared previously 

 in the National Geographic Magazine and the expense of engraving both the color and 

 the black-and-white plates has already been borne. No picture in the Fourth Series, 

 however, is to be found in any of the earlier volumes. I 



"Scenes from Every Land" is the ideal Christmas gift for young and old. We will 

 receive orders now for copies to be mailed with your card.
