Alaska. Results of the Harriman Alaska Expedition carried out with the Co-operation of the Washington Academy of Sciences. By JOHN BURROUGHS, JOHN MUIR, and GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL. 2 vols., impl. 8vo., pp. xxxvii, 383, with 39 beautifully coloured plates, 85 photogravure plates, 5 maps, and 240 illustrations in the text; handsomely bound in cloth extra, gilt tops 1902

The numerous plates, maps and figures with which the work is illustrated, make this a most attractive book.

RADFORD. 8vo., pp. ix and 388, with 8 illustrations; cloth 1907 To read this book is to become almost familiarly intimate with many of the great ones of the last century-Carlyle, Tennyson, Rossetti and Browning-to mention only a few of Allingham's associates and friends.
