(Mexico and California). 12mo, $2. Household edition $1 50
“To those who have more recently pitched their tents in California, the narrative

changes that have been effected in this region since the days of turmoil, excitement,
and daring speculation of which the tourist speaks.”

one that was not extremely interesting—but we have never been so well pleased
with any of his writings as we are with the volume now before us. `A Journey to
Central Africa.'”

and Men. Two plates. 12mo, $2. Household edition $1 50

It is in a large measure autobiographical. Whatever has most impressed him in
any part of the earth is noted in some one of these letters.”

“A volume from Bayard Taylor is always a pleasure. He not only knows how
to travel and how to enjoy it, but he excels in giving entertainment by his narration
to others.”
