D. APPLETON AND COMPANY'S PUBLICATIONS.

_IN JOYFUL RUSSIA._ By JOHN A. LOGAN, Jr. With 50 Illustrations in
color and black and white. 12mo. Cloth, $3.50.

"Of extreme interest from beginning to end. Mr. Logan has animation of
style, good spirits, a gift of agreeable and enlivening expression, and
a certain charm which may be called companionableness. To travel, with
him must have been a particular pleasure. He has sense of humor, a way
of getting over rough places, and understanding of human nature. There
is not a dull chapter in his book."--_New York Times._

"Mr. Logan has written of the things which he saw with a fullness that

"A chronicle of impressions gathered during a brief and thoroughly

and hear new things. Thoroughly successful and well worth perusal....
There will be found within its pages plenty to instruct and entertain
the reader."--_Brooklyn Eagle._

"The book is a historical novelty; and nowadays a more valuable
distinction can not be attached to a book.... No other book of travels
of late years is so unalterably interesting."--_Boston Journal._

"Mr. Logan's narrative is spirited in tone and color.... A volume that
is entertaining and amusing, and not unworthy to be called instructive.
The style is at all times lively and spirited, and full of good
humor."--_Philadelphia Press._

"Mr. Logan has a quick eye, a ready pen, a determination to make the
