This book, one of the nQn~fictjon aeries of

yean, -ia -on... o(.... the most delightful _.
of travel and a.dventure, and thank, are ' '
to the publishere J for re-i.eauing it in thia
oompaet yet most reada.ble form and at fluchlt, ...
a popula.r price. ;Mr. Fraser and his two friends' \ \.
performed , a truly ma.rvellous feat, riding no
Je88 .than 19,237 miJ~ through known and ' unknown landa, often .4 sleeping rOui'h;u ! often
suffering froni hunier and thl,n t, sometimes
through lands wh~ they were. . weloomed a.nd
hospitably trea~ mor.e often throug. d~B
over lUih mountains, through sw89'npa. and
amongst l'OUih, wild or haJf-civilised peoples
".' 1
who denied -them bread or ' water. But the
travellers were men of tine pluck: and extra..ordinary powers of endurance, no dimculties of
the ~ay, no. e:tJirer:nes of heat or oold,' no pitileas. drenchmg ram or ,ea.ndstorm8 could
hearten them or stay them from the full Beoomplishment of their heroio- eiploit. ,The
~06t ureeable aection of their famoul ride
WIUI proba~ly Japan, a~d their most diaagre~ _
able exporlenC(l8 were In _ much of China. and
tb~... mid~le 1Statee of America.. ·'It is a. fascinating record, futl of livery humour rich in
vivid descriptions of men and mallner~ of villago, town and city" and QDe ab80ro.' & vMt
~u.ni 6~ information, but in the pleuantest
way DBag.lnable.
