'The Old World
WorldAnd
And Its Wnys. "
Col. William Jennings Bryan's
new book of travel , entitled "The
Old World and its Ways , " re
counts bis recent tour around the
world and his journeys through
Europe. It is profusely illustrat
ed with 251 artistic engravings
representing men and things seen
in the various countries of the
earth during that noted journey.
The engravings are made from
photographs taken by him or his
party specially for this publica
tion. It is regarded by him as
the monumental library work of
his life , and is published under
his special supervision.
It is sold only through agents ,
and following its announcement it
has , we are advised , met with a
demand that has exhausted in 90
days three large editions aggrega-
over 25,000 copies. By special
contract with his publishers he
maie the retail price low down
with the view to putting it within
the easy reach of every reader and
book buyer.
The book gives his experiences
what he saw and did whom he
met and his impressions and con
clusions. He made a profound
study of the nations and of men
and things as he saw them around
the world. He gives government
al , educational , religious and other
conditions , from the standpoint of
a student and one profoundly in
terested in all the peoples of the
earth.
earth.While
While Col. Bryan traveled as a
private citizen he went with the
prestige of having made two mem
orable contests for the presidency
of the U. S. , and he was every
where recognized and entertained
as a great representative Ameri
can , having a leading part in the
direction of American aifairs. He
was given opportunity for obser
vations never before accorded to
anyone traveling in private ca
pacity.
If one wants to see the world ,
and the people who are at the
head of aiiairs in all countries , as j
well as the masses , he has in this i
book an opportunity of seeing' '
them through the eyes of Col.
William Jennings Bryan. Jt is
