e, for he writes in a light,
bright, gay style that catches and holds the attention wherever one may
open the book. Indeed he gives a true idea of the real life of the
Londoner as few travellers would be apt to obtain unaided."--_Columbus
(O.) State Journal._

"Candor is the prevailing note in this beautiful volume. There is
nothing of the guide book spirit about it. It is bright, replete with
anecdotes and a moving picture of wonderful London. London's labors, its
pictures and its characteristics are shown in breezy fashion and even
English cooking and London's kitchens come in for cheery comment. It is
a refreshing book charmingly exhilarating."--_Philadelphia Record._

London Sketched with Brush and Pen: "He has studied London with a
trained intelligence, observed it with an artist's eye, and then gives
us a traveller's impression in a graceful, literary way."--_Chicago
Tribune._

"It is brilliantly written. The glimpses of London which he gives are
not at all like anything we are accustomed to in descriptions of
London--herein lies the charm of Mr. Smith's book. He knows London quite
as well as any American. It is a thoroughly delightful narrative--a
pleasant and entertaining story, gracefully written, picturesque, and
wholly original in inspiration and treatment."--_Brooklyn Eagle._

_ALONG THE BEAUTIFUL ADRIATIC JUST
BEFORE THE WAR BEGAN_

Delightful Dalmatia

By ALICE LEE MOQUE

One of the most refreshing volumes written in years--a live, snappy,
rollicking tale of experiences aboard and ashore in the most delightful
piece of Southern Europe--along the Adriatic.

Its pages breathe the very spirit of everything that goes to make
Dalmatia delightful. Story, anecdote--ancient or legendary--beautiful
cities, old churches, countless architectural and other ancient
treasures, etc., etc., pervade its pages in entertaining variety.

The book is timely for its descriptions of places already in the wake of
war; among these is Cattaro, the recently bombarded fortification on the
Adriatic. Unusually attractive is the great scenic and historic interest
attaching to Pola, Sebenico, Gravossa, Spalato, Ragusa, etc.

_Cloth bound, 362 pages. Profusely illustrated in color
and half-tone. $2.00, net; by mail, $2.16_
