TURKISTAN (New Edition. 2 vols., 8vo, $5.00.)
"One of the most valuable and fascinating of publications. The author

BRAZIL; THE AMAZONS AND THE COAST (Illustrated. 8vo, $5.00.)
"Mr. Smith, an American who has lived and traveled for the greater part
of eight years in Brazil, gives so excellent an account of that country that we
cannot regret this addition to the already extensive literature of the subject.
The book is a very successful attempt to present a comprehensive picture,
drawn both from the experience of the author and from that of previous
Brazilian and foreign writers, of the present state of Brazil."—London Academy.

"This is the noblest record of the achievements of a man of action which
this generation has known. Mr. Stanley writes his book very much as he
marches through Africa—with the irresistible energy of an imperious will.
These volumes have descriptive passages of singular excellence; the style is
trenchant, vigorous and clear; and the literary workmanship is markedly
superior to that of any of his previous work."—New York Tribune.

please and interest."—The Boston Times.
