  Uniform with this Volume and same Price. FORTHCOMING VOLUMES. FELICITY IN FRANCE. Constance Maud. Miss Maud has written a fascinating guide book to the French countryside. A pleasant thread of narrative is woven into the book, but it is primarily a description of travels in different parts of France. The perfect sympathy with and understanding of French life, and the humour and grace of the style make it an ideal travelling companion. (July 2.) MY CLIMBS IN THE ALPS AND CAUCASUS. A. F. Mummery. Mr. A. F. Mummery, who was killed by an avalanche in attempting the ascent of Nanga Parbat in the Himalayas, was probably the greatest climber of his day. He was the first, for example, to ascend that most formidable of the Chamonix Aiguilles, the Grepon, where the "Mummery Chimney" still commemorates his achievement. The present volume is one of the great classics of mountaineering, and can be read with delight by those who have never seen anything higher than the Surrey Downs. (August 6.) |
