scientifically and impartially described." English historical review,
1899.

STEAD, William Thomas.

The United States of Europe, on the eve of the parliament

of peace. 1899......

.....940.9 S79 Contents: Towards the federation of the world.-England in 1898.The northwestern states.--Russia of the rescript.-Possible outcomes. The author, who is the editor of the English Review of reviews, has lately returned from a trip to all the capitals of Europe, where he has talked with the leading men of each country on the question of a possible "United States of Europe." In his book he gives the views of the statesmen of the Old World on the political situation of 1899, in the light of the czar's peace rescript and of American "expansion." Besides treating of America's task in the West Indies and Philippines, the "Chinese puzzle," South African problems, the Fashoda muddle, the Concert of Europe and its work in Crete and Candia, and many other matters of current interest, Mr Stead forecasts very interestingly the immediate political future.

"Not a regular book of travels, but a number of episodical chapters... Imagination, fancy, humour, deep insight into the springs of human affection, are all blended together so as to form a genial, radiant, fascinating book, which it is impossible to read without loving the gentle, large-hearted author, even if you knew no more of him than the book reveals." Dublin university magazine, 1855. Poet's bazaar; a picturesque tour in Germany, Italy, Greece and the Orient. [1879.]..... ..914 A54 "Totally different from all ordinary books of travel-giving little or no information of a practical character, and entirely ignoring the every-day scenes and lions. It is a gallery hung with pictures, each separate and complete in itself, yet each a link of a chain...Many... teem with vivid fancies, and are brilliant specimens of word painting." Dublin university magazine, 1855.

"We look vainly through this book for traces of the typical American
traveller. Mr. Guild...neither glorifies his own land, nor makes
invidious comparisons between it and the rest of the world...seems
contented with the track beaten by so many travellers and so fully
mapped out in guide-books. For most of his facts and inferences he
seems indebted to these trustworthy sources of information...The
result is that his mistakes are few, but his book is mediocre." Spec-
tator, 1871.

"What makes [Mr James] so delightful a guide...are his quick and
lively sympathies, which discover certain æsthetic values of places and
scenes that might easily have hid themselves from a duller or colder
observer. He has an eye for the character of a place as for the char-
acter of a person, and is able to make known to us not only its ex-
ternal form and feature but also the inner sentiment expressed in
them." Literary world, 1884.

"It could not flourish now, nor can it flourish hereafter, but it delighted
a literate and sympathetic class of readers forty years ago to whom
it was a pleasant revealment of Old World places, customs, stories and
literatures. It was quietly humorous, it was prettily pathetic, and it
was pensive and poetical." Scribner's monthly, 1878.

"During the summer of 1865 MacGregor launched his canoe the Rob
Roy, and started on the first of those solitary cruises by which he is
best known... Starting down the Thames, and round the coast to
Dover, MacGregor crossed the Channel by steamer and navigated a
network of rivers, canals and lakes... The log was published...in the
little book 'A thousand miles in the Rob Roy canoe,' which was per-
haps the most popular work of the year. Up to this time the canoe
had hardly been known in England, and MacGregor may be considered
the patron saint of canoeing and canoe clubs... MacGregor had much
literary facility, and was a good draughtsman, always illustrating his
own books." Dictionary of national biography.

I was desirous of seeing something of low life; I donned the blouse and hobnailed shoes of a workman, and spent a year in a 'Tramp Trip' from Gibraltar to the Bosporus... The reader may possibly not care to make the experiment himself, yet the perusal of how another travelled on fifty cents a day may not prove altogether uninteresting." Preface.
