l reflection. While the
work is primarily one for lovers of the great outdoors, for Nature in
its various moods is perhaps the central theme, it is much more than
what is ordinarily termed a "nature volume." The story form, only half
assumed, the charming personalities which are presented, their day to
day lives, these all lend to it an added interest.

America as I Saw It

BY E. ALEC TWEEDIE. With illustrations.

_Decorated cloth, 8vo, preparing_

Many books have been written by people who have visited this country and
have then returned to their native heath, but it is doubtful whether
anyone has gone at the task with such an abundance of good humor as has
the author of this sprightly volume. Mrs. Tweedie says things, to be
sure, about America and Americans that will not be wholly acceptable,
but she says them in such a way that even the most sensitive cannot take
offense. In fact it is quite likely that her criticisms will provoke
laughter as good humored in itself as the remarks which provoke it.
There is hardly a spot on the broad continent that does not pass under
Mrs. Tweedie's examination, and scarcely a person of importance. She
finds much to praise openly, but amusing as it may seem, these
praiseworthy factors are not those upon which we expect commendation.
Our dinners, our clubs, our educational systems, our transportation
facilities, our home life, our theatres, our books, our art, all are
analyzed and Tweedie verdicts passed. Of course the book is to be taken
seriously, but not too seriously. Mrs. Tweedie would be offended if we
did not laugh at her cajolery; that is what she wrote it for.

_Tourist Edition. Decorated cloth, 12mo, $1.30 net_

As in the case of the other volumes in this series Mr. Johnson deals
here primarily with country life--especially that which is typical and
picturesque. The author's trips have taken him to many characteristic
and famous regions; but always both in text and pictures he has tried to
show nature as it is and to convey some of the pl
