**MARVELS OF THE UNIVERSE’’ being complete with Part 28, 
Subscribers will doubtlessly be looking for another Part work which 
will give them the same amount of pleasure during the next twelve 
months. Accordingly, Messrs. Hutchinson take this opportunity of 
announcing an entirely new work, which they are issuing, in about 
three weeks time in 7d. Parts, dealing with the Customs of the 
World. 
It seems a remarkable fact that such a fascinating 
subject as the Customs of the World has never before been given 
to the great reading public, but the reason for this may be that 
large tracts of the World have remained unexplored until quite 
recent years. 
The present work collects the most interesting features 
in connection with the curious eustoms in each country relating 
to Birth, Childhood and Youth, Courtship, Marriage, Religion, 
Magic, Sorcery, Superstition, Witchcraft, War, Death, Funeral, 
Burial, Mourning, etc, 
CUSTOMS OF THE WORLD has been prepared at an enormous 
cost, photographs being obtained from the most distant and 
inaccessible parts of the World. Moreover, certain interesting 
customs have never before been photographed, and these have been 
“specially taken in order that the work may be complete in every 
way and take its place as the standard book for all time. 
As in the case of ‘‘Marvels of the Universe,’’ the work 
will contain over 1000 beautiful Illustrations, which will be 
produced on the same quality Art paper, and many beautiful 
coloured plates; it will also be under the same Editorship, viz., 
thatmOteMr Walter Hutehinson, BAC, POR. G.S., F.ROA.T., ete. 
The greatest authorities contribute the text, and in 
practically every case the letterpress is by one who has spent 
a lifetime in the particular Country of which he writes, so that 
absolute accuracy combined with local colour may be assured. 
Finally, the Publishers have no hesitation in saying 
that CUSTOMS OF THE WORLD will be appreciated by every man and 
woman, for they are confident that in point of view of interest 
this work cannot be surpassed.
