Our European Neighbours

Edited by WILLIAM HARBUTT DAWSON


12º. Illustrated. Each, net $1.20
By Mail. 1.30


=I. - FRENCH LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By HANNAH LYNCH.

"Miss Lynch's pages are thoroughly interesting and suggestive. Her
style, too, is not common. It is marked by vivacity without any drawback
of looseness, and resembles a stream that runs strongly and evenly
between walls. It is at once distinguished and useful.... Her five-page
description (not dramatization) of the grasping Paris landlady is a
capital piece of work.... Such well finished portraits are frequent in
Miss Lynch's book, which is small, inexpensive, and of a real
excellence." - _The London Academy._

"Miss Lynch's book is particularly notable. It is the first of a series
describing the home and social life of various European peoples - a
series long needed and sure to receive a warm welcome. Her style is
frank, vivacious, entertaining, captivating, just the kind for a book
which is not at all statistical, political, or controversial. A special
excellence of her book, reminding one of Mr. Whiteing's, lies in her
continual contrast of the English and the French, and she thus sums up
her praises: 'The English are admirable: the French are lovable.'
" - _The Outlook_.


=II. - GERMAN LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By W. H. DAWSON, author of "Germany and the Germans," etc.

"The book is as full of correct, impartial, well-digested, and
well-presented information as an egg is of meat. One can only recommend
it heartily and without reserve to all who wish to gain an insight into
German life. It worthily presents a great nation, now the greatest and
strongest in Europe." - _Commercial Advertiser_.


=III. - RUSSIAN LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By FRANCIS H. E. PALMER, sometime Secretary to H. H. Prince
Droutskop-Loubetsky (Equerry to H. M. the Emperor of Russia).

"We would recommend this above all other works of its character to those
seeking a clear general understanding of Russian life, character, and
conditions, but who have not the leisure or inclination to read more
voluminous tomes.... It cannot be too highly recommended, for it conveys
practically all that well-informed people should know of 'Our European
Neighbours.'" - _Mail and Express._


=IV. - DUTCH LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By P. M. HOUGH, B.A.

"There is no other book which gives one so clear a picture of actual
life in the Netherlands at the present date. For its accurate
presentation of the Dutch situation in art, letters, learning, and
politics as well as in the round of common life in town and city, this
book deserves the heartiest praise." - _Evening Post._

"Holland is always interesting, in any line of study. In this work
its charm is carefully preserved. The sturdy toil of the people,
their quaint characteristics, their conservative retention of old
dress and customs, their quiet abstention from taking part in the
great affairs of the world are clearly reflected in this faithful
mirror. The illustrations are of a high grade of photographic
reproductions." - _Washington Post._


=V. - SWISS LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By ALFRED T. STORY, author of the "Building of the British Empire," etc.

"We do not know a single compact book on the same subject in which Swiss
character in all its variety finds so sympathetic and yet thorough
treatment; the reason of this being that the author has enjoyed
privileges of unusual intimacy with all classes, which prevented his
lumping the people as a whole without distinction of racial and cantonal
feeling." - _Nation._

"There is no phase of the lives of these sturdy republicans, whether
social or political, which Mr. Story does not touch upon; and an
abundance of illustrations drawn from unhackneyed subjects adds to the
value of the book." - _Chicago Dial._


=VI.-SPANISH LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By L. HIGGIN.

"Illuminating in all of its chapters. She writes in thorough sympathy,
born of long and intimate acquaintance with Spanish people of
to-day." - _St. Paul Press._

"The author knows her subject thoroughly and has written a most
admirable volume. She writes with genuine love for the Spaniards, and
with a sympathetic knowledge of their character and their method of
life." - _Canada Methodist Review._


=VII. - ITALIAN LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By LUIGI VILLARI.

"A most interesting and instructive volume, which presents an intimate
view of the social habits and manner of thought of the people of which
it treats." - _Buffalo Express._

"A book full of information, comprehensive and accurate. Its numerous
attractive illustrations add to its interest and value. We are glad to
welcome such an addition to an excellent series." - _Syracuse Herald._


=VIII. - DANISH LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By JESSIE H. BROCHNER.

"Miss Brochner has written an interesting book on a fascinating subject,
a book which should arouse an interest in Denmark in those who have not
been there, and which can make those who know and are attracted by the
country very homesick to return." - _Commercial Advertiser._

"She has sketched with loving art the simple, yet pure and elevated
lives of her countrymen, and given the reader an excellent idea of the
Danes from every point of view." - _Chicago Tribune._


=IX. - AUSTRO-HUNGARIAN LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By FRANCIS H. E. PALMER, author of "Russian Life in Town and Country,"
etc.

"No volume in this interesting series seems to us so notable or valuable
as this on Austro-Hungarian life. Mr. Palmer's long residence in Europe
and his intimate association with men of mark, especially in their home
life, has given to him a richness of experience evident on every page of
the book." - _The Outlook._

"This book cannot be too warmly recommended to those who have not the
leisure or the spirit to read voluminous tomes of this subject, yet we
wish a clear general understanding of Austro-Hungarian life." - _Hartford
Times._


=X. - TURKISH LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By L. M. J. GARNETT.

Miss Garnett, while not altogether ignoring the dark side of life in the
Empire, portrays more particularly the peaceable life of the people - the
domestic, industrial, social, and religious life and customs, the
occupations and recreations, of the numerous and various races within
the Empire presided over by the Sultan.

"The general tone of the book is that of a careful study, the style is
flowing, and the matter is presented in a bright, taking way." - _St.
Paul Press._

"To the average mind the Turk is a little better than a blood-thirsty
individual with a plurality of wives and a paucity of virtues. To read
this book is to be pleasantly disillusioned." - _Public Opinion._


=XI. - BELGIAN LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By DEMETRIUS C. BOULGER.

"Mr. Boulger has given a plain, straight-forward account of the several
phases of Belgian Life, the government, the court, the manufacturing
centers and enterprises, the literature and science, the army, education
and religion, set forth informingly." - _The Detroit Free Press._

"The book is one of real value conscientiously written, and well
illustrated by good photographs." - _The Outlook._


=XII. - SWEDISH LIFE IN TOWN AND COUNTRY=

By G. VON HEIDENSTAM.
