BAKER'S (JAMES) TURKEY. 8vo, with two maps. $4.00
"His work, like Mr. Wallace's, is in many parts a revelation, as it
has had no predecessor, which was so founded upon personal
observation, and at the same time so full of that sort of detailed

"He has a bright, easy style, and, indeed, most of his adventures
