The book is particularly interesting, because India is
less well known to young people than many other lands. Of the twelve
colored pictures, two are specially good,--a tailor at work, and a (p. 179)
Sikh warrior.

Illustrated by Ella du Cane.
Macmillan. .75
The volume is devoted rather to the habits, manners, and customs, of
this wonderful people than to a description of the country itself. Boy
and girl life, games, feast-days, the occupations of a Japanese day,
the police, and the soldier, are told about in an entertaining manner.
There are eight plates in color.

The Boy's Book of Explorations.
Doubleday. 2.00
A satisfactory introduction to exploration in general, and a
comprehensive account of the travel and discovery of recent times in
Africa, Asia, and Australia. The journeys of Livingstone, Stanley, and
many other well-known African explorers, are related; Rockhill's
adventures in Tibet; the experiences of Hedin and Landor; and the
opening up of Australia. The beauty of Livingstone's character is
dwelt upon. Maps and many illustrations add to the book's value.
