Modern Tales of Travel
by
HE LETTERS describing the Holy
Land, written by William Elroy
Curtis, correspondent of the Chi
cago Record-Herald, during his
tour of that country two years
ago, have been revised and reproduced In
enduring form In a large volume under
the title 'Today in Syria and Palestine."
Mr. Curtis needs no Introduction to west
ern readers. As a newspaper man Indtntl
fied with the press of Chicago for twenty
years his name may properly be classed
aa "a household word." As an author he
has produced several meritorious volumes
of biography and travel and is now abroad
accumulating material for more.
Mr. Curtis says In a foreword that "a
Journey through Palestine destroys many
Illusions and disturbs one's confidence In
mankind, and especially In many of the
professional teachers of Christianity; but It
confirms the faith of conscientious and
thoughtful readers In the Bible and Its ,
teachings; for every spot fully described .
In its pages can be Immediately and dis
tinctly Identified. This is an extraordinary
(act. I know of no other book of which
the same can be said."
Maps and numerous illustrations from
photographs taken by Miss Elsie Evans
Curtis, daughter of the author, add mate
rially to the reader's appreciation and
knowledge of the country described.
Published by Fleming II. Russell Com
pany , Chicago and New York.
A nw edition of "Castillan Days," by
Hon. John Hay. with Illustrations by
Joseph Pennell, comes from the press of
Houghton, Mifflin Jfc Company, Boston.
Long before the author of "Castillan Days"
achieved eminence as secretary of state of
the United States this volume had won for
him an enduring place in the world of
letters.
Secretary Hay's account of his travels
In Spain Is descriptive of the natural scen
ery, the manners and customs of the peo
ple, the public buildings and the works
of art, and has a wonderful charm for the
reader. Mr. Hay excels In description,
whether of nature or humanity, and this
book abounds in enthusiasm and vigor.
Such is the conservatism of Spain, that,
though written some years ago, the text
covers practically everything a traveler
sees today.
Admirers of Charles Dickens, and they
aro legions, ere afforded a supplementary
treat by a volume entitled "Dickens' Lon
don," compiled by Francis Mlltoun. The
author presents in an informal manner
such facts of historical topographical and
literary moment as surrounded the locali
ties associated with the life and labors of
Dickens in London. Characters typical of
the great metropolis of the world char
acters such as Dickens drew and who ex
ist today are redrawn by pen and picture.
'The typical Londoner ot today, as In the
early Victorian period of which Dickens
wrote, is a species quite apart from the
resident of any other urban community
throughout the world," say the author.
"The Sound of Bow Bells is the only true
and harmonious ring which, to the ears
of the real cockney, recalls all that is most
loved tn the gamut of his sentiments."
L. C. Page & Co., publishers, Boston.
To those who appreciate the history, art
and antiquities of European cities and have
not the means or Inclination to make a
personal inspection. Grant Allen supplies
in part the means to gratify their desires.
"Belgium its cities," in two volumes,
comes from his pen. Mr. Allen's books on
foreign travel are too well known to need
introduction. Having devoted the greater
part of thirty-five years to travel in the
highways and byways of the old world he
has experience and ripened Judgment, and
the skill to convey his observations and
impressions to the reader. Tlie present
volumes are pot In the class of guidebooks.
The object of the author is to supply such
historical and antiquarian information as
will enable the reader to understand and
enjoy the architecture, sculpture, paintings
and minor arts of the cities of Belgium.
Published by L. C. Page & Co., Boston.
"A Handbook of Modern Japan," by
Ernest W. Clement, gives the reader a com
prehensive insight into the life and char
acter of the Yankees of the Orient, their
political, religious, educational and social
institutions. The author endeavors to por
tray Japan in all its features as a modern
world power, giving sufficient detail to
satisfy the general reader and furnish a
blrd'seye view of the empire by pea and pic
ture. The transformation of Japan in the
last quarter of a century is one of the
marvels of modern progress. How It was
brought about and the extent to which
western civilisation permeates publlo and
private life, Is a fascinating chapter of
world history, and Mr. Clement tells it con
cisely and interestingly, illuminating the
story with maps, portraits, city and coun
try scenes. Published by A. C. McClurg &
Co., Chicago.
' 'The Land of Little Rain," by Mary
Austin. Mr. K. Boyd Smith, who is per
fectly familiar with the region, Is the illus
trator and Interpreter of Mrs. Austin's
charming sketches. The author, in her
beautiful descriptions, truly . makes the
"desert to bloem." She says: "For one
thing there is the dtvlnest, clearest air
to be breathed anywhere In God's world.
Some day the world will understand that
and the oases on the windy tops of hills
will harbor for healing its ailing, house
weary broods. . For all the toll the desert
takes of a mat: it gives compensations, deep
breaths, deep ' sleep Mid the communion
pf the stars." One can almost feel the
quietude, breathe the fresh air and enjoy
the starlight from the author's word paint
ing. But there is another side of desert
life that is not so inspiring and pleasing,
and that la the tragedies tragedies of man
and beast in which the dreadful scaven
gers take part There is an interesting
chapter on "The Pocket Hunter," who not
only takes up his bed and walks, but his
. kitchen and larder as welL Speaking of
"Jlmvllle," a Bret Harte town, the author
says: "Any way you go at it Jlmvllle la about
three days from anywhere in particu
lar. When Jim Jenkins opened an eating
house in his tent he chalked up on his
flap, 'Best Meals in Jlmvllle, $1.00,' and
the name stuck." The author confesses
to 300 inhabitants in Jlmvllle and four
bars, but it is "The Land of Little Rain."
