e, and appends an index of 60 pages as a key to
the contents of his admirable little book. It has peculiar merits as a
school-book, and is the skeleton companion to the late J. R. Green's
'History of the English People.'"

"This is a volume that will be found very helpful to the student of
history. It has 400 pages only, and yet every event of importance is to
be found there. The general plan is to present the facts compressed into
the fewest and clearest words. We heartily commend it."--_School

AN INLAND VOYAGE. By ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON, author of "Travels with a
Donkey in the Cevennes." 16mo. Cloth. Price, $1.00

"Those who have read Mr. Stevenson's delightful 'Travels with a Donkey,'
in which he told the story of a unique trip among the mountains of
Southern France, will gladly welcome this bright account of a canoe
voyage through the canals of Belgium, on the Sambre, and down the Oise.
Unlike Captain Macgregor, of 'Rob Roy' fame, Mr. Stevenson does not make
canoeing itself his main theme, but delights in charming bits of
description that, in their close attention to picturesque detail, remind
one of the work of a skilled 'genre' painter. Nor does he hesitate, from
time to time, to diverge altogether from his immediate subject, and to
indulge in a strain of gently humorous reflection that furnishes some of
the pleasantest passages of the book." ... "In a modest and quiet way
Mr. Stevenson's book is one of the very best of the year for summer
reading. The volume has a very neat design for the cover, with a
fanciful picture of the 'Arethusa' and 'Cigarette,' the canoes of the
author and his companion. The versatility which could produce works so
unlike as 'An Inland Voyage' and the 'New Arabian Nights' is somewhat
unusual."--_Good Literature._
