Abstract
ON opening this work, one is at once struck by the beauty of the illustrations, particularly those of the New Zealand Alps. The double-page plate opposite p. 248, drawn from a photograph taken by the author, is especially worthy of remark. For effect this view may well compare with some of the most picturesque parts of Switzerland. Some of the photographs, however, have a familiar appearance to the travelled reader; one recognizes in the beautiful picture “Off the West Coast of Ceylon” (p. 300) an old friend, none the less worthy of reproduction.
