Inc scribners send us a edition. in one

Ellis Martin and Charlotte NJ Martin 1t is
very welcome. This is an entertaining hook
full Of good anecdote, but the authors set out
to do much more than amuse their readers, and
they succeeded IN their more serious aim.
History well pondered is put into these chapters
and put there in such a way that the explorer
not only finds his walks through the streets Of
Paris made the more interesting through their
aid, but finds himself. in the long run made
richer in useful knowledge. It is readable
and a sound book. The illustrations include
many well chosen portraits in addition to Mr.
Fulleylove's capital sketches
