Abstract
THIS volume has been prepared by various members of the Harvard Travellers' Club in the hope of promoting intelligent travel and observation. Mr. G. M. Allen is the editor, while Prof. W. M. Davis seems to have been mainly responsible for the choice of authors. Books of this nature written by experts, are not numerous, and though they appeal more to strenuous tourists than to serious travellers, they nevertheless have their uses, particularly in more technical matters. Observation is an attribute of most boys, but in later life it is hard to teach. American schooling probably does more than our own to develop it, but the Boy Scout movement, in its best phases, is its great nursery. The next generation of travellers may well prove more observant and not less resourceful than the last.
