_12mo. $1.25 net._ Seldom has one author to his credit so many sought-after travel books, delightful anthologies, stirring juveniles, and popular novels. In the novel as in the essay and in that other literary form, if one may call it such, the anthology, Mr. Lucas has developed a mode and style all his own. The above volumes of essays contain much of Mr. Lucas' charming character delineation; in their amusing discursiveness, their recurrent humor, and their quiet undertones of pathos, the reader will catch many delightful glimpses of Mr. Lucas' originality and distinctiveness. * * * * * PUBLISHED BY THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 64-66 Fifth Avenue, New York THE LUCAS WANDERER BOOKS *A Wanderer in Florence* Colored illustrations and reproductions of the great works of art. "All in all, a more interesting book upon Florence has seldom been produced, and it has the double value that, while it should serve excellently as an aid to the traveler, it is so written as to make a charming journey even though one's ticket reads no further than the familiar arm-chair."--_Springfield Republican_. _Cloth, 8vo, $1.75 net._ *A Wanderer in London* With sixteen illustrations in color by Mr. Nelson Dawson, and thirty-six reproductions of great pictures. "Mr. Lucas describes London in a style that is always entertaining, surprisingly like Andrew Lang's, full of unexpected suggestions and points of view, so that one who knows London well will hereafter look on it with changed eyes, and one who has only a bowing acquaintance will feel that he has suddenly become intimate."--_The Nation_. _Cloth, 8vo, $1.75 net._ *A Wanderer in Holland* With twenty illustrations in color by Herbert Marshall, besides many reproductions of the masterpieces of Dutch painters. "It is not very easy to point out the merits which make this volume immeasurably superior to nine-tenths of the books of travel that are offered the public from time to time. Perhaps it is to be traced to the fact that Mr. Lucas is an intellectual loiterer, rather than a keen-eyed reporter, eager to catch a train for the next stopping-place. It is also to be found partially in the fact that the author is so much in love with the artistic life of Holland."--_Globe Democrat_, St. Louis.
