and his letters and contributions from there
have appeared in Hdrper's Hdgasine, the Fri
bune, and the Erening Post, and have attracted
| much attention. In this volume these articles
are partially reproduced and considerable new
matter added. Like most visitors To California
| Mr.. Nordhoff is greatly taken with the scenery,
the climate, and the other strong points of that
| new wonderland, and he expresses his delight
| in animated cOlors; tempered, however, by
| enough of the matter-of.fact and reliable to
make his book perhaps the best book OF inform
| alton concerning the Golden State that has vet
| appeared. He devotes rather too much space to
| advertising the PACING railroad, and more par
| tcularly the Pullman sleeping car, but when
| he lands the traveller fairly in California one
| soon forgets this annoyance in his animate de-
| scription of the things worth seeing there.
