ARMINIUS VAMBÉRY: His Life and Adventures. Written byHimself. With Portrait and 14 Illustrations. SquareImperial 16mo, cloth extra, 6s.

"A most fascinating work, full of interesting and curiousexperiences."—Contemporary Review.

"It is partly an autobiographic sketch of character, partly an accountof a singularly daring and successful adventure in the exploration of apractically unknown country. In both aspects it deserves to be spoken ofas a work of great interest and of considerable merit."—SaturdayReview.

"We can follow M. Vambéry's footsteps in Asia with pride and pleasure;we welcome every word he has to tell us about the ethnography and thelanguages of the East."—Academy.

"The character and temperament of the writer come out well in his quaintand vigorous style.... The expressions, too, in English, of modes ofthought and reflections cast in a different mould from our own givesadditional piquancy to the composition, and, indeed, almost seems tobring out unexpected capacities in the language."—Athenæum.

"Has all the fascination of a lively romance. It is the confession of anuncommon man; an intensely clever, extraordinarily energetic egotist,well-informed, persuaded that he is in the right and impatient ofcontradiction."—Daily Telegraph.

"The work is written in a most captivating manner, and illustrates thequalities that should be possessed by the explorer."—Novoe Vremya,Moscow.

"We are glad to see a popular edition of a book which, however it beregarded, must be pronounced unique. The writer, the adventures, and thestyle are all extraordinary—the last not the least of the three. It isflowing and natural—a far better style than is written by the majorityof English travellers."—St. James's Gazette.
