=THE WILDS OF PATAGONIA. A Narrative of the Swedish Expedition to Patagonia, Tierra del Fuego, and the Falkland Islands in 1907-1909.= By CARL SKOTTSBERG, D.Sc., etc. With Illustrations and Maps. =15s. net.=
“Few books of the kind that I have read in recent years are half as interesting. Instead of bloody records of the butchering of defenceless beasts (for it should never be forgotten that even tigers and rhinoceroses are practically without defence against quick-firing guns) we have an interesting account of plants, stones, natural history, and scientific problems, all set down by a young, well-educated and adventurous man. The book reads like what Captain Cook’s adventures might have been had they been written by Sir Joseph Banks, and still preserved Cook’s charm.”--Mr. R. B. CUNNINGHAME GRAHAM in the _Saturday Review_.

“An extraordinary valuable book on the life of the children of the poor in South London. In its way it is the most remarkable work seen for years.”--_Evening News._
“It is a book that every M.P., every country and town councillor, everyone who plays, or aspires to play, any part in public life, ought to be compelled to read several times over.”--_Daily Mail._
“It has the interest of the most thrilling story. No one can read the book unmoved or uninterested.”--_Westminster Gazette._
Miss Loane’s Books on the Lives of the Poor.
Miss Loane was a district nurse; she lived among the poor and for the poor; she knows the society of the poor from the inside, yet she comes in from the outside, consequently she sees closely enough to descry details accurately. There are no volumes of statistics, however precise, and no books about poor relief, however true to history, which can teach us what Miss Loane has learned.
