IN UNKNOWN CHINA A Record of the Observations, Adventures and Experiences of a Pioneer of Civilization During a Prolonged Sojourn Amongst the Wild and Unknown Nosu Tribe of Western China BY S. POLLARD Author of "In Tight Corners in China." Demy 8vo. With Many Illustrations & Maps. Price 25s. Nett SOME EARLY REVIEWS. "Fascinating, racy and humorous."—Aberdeen Journal. "An amazing record of adventure. Mr. Pollard is delightful from every point of view. By the valiance of his own heart and faith he wins through."—Methodist Recorder. "Mr. Pollard is not merely an interesting man, but a courageous one.... The first white man to penetrate into Nosuland where live the bogey-men of the Manchus.... This is a people that has struck terror into the hearts of the neighbouring Chinese by the cruelty and the fierceness of its valour."—Sketch. Mr. Pollard's book is laid where dwell amid almost unpenetrable hills a race the Chinese have never yet succeeded in subduing."—Western Morning News. "In addition to its engrossing matter, Mr. Pollard's book has the attraction of a bright and pleasant style, which reveals at times a happy sense of humour, a characteristic feature not always very marked in this branch of literature."—Glasgow Herald. "Nosuland is a very interesting region.... Mr. Pollard has some awkward experiences. That, of course, makes his narrative all the more lively and interesting."—Liverpool Post. "Mr. Pollard during his travels held his life in his hand from day to day, and owed his ultimate safety to his own conciliatory prudence."—Manchester Guardian. "Full of adventure and strangeness, with many excellent photographs."—Daily Mail. "Very readable and valuable.... Admirably printed and generously illustrated." Bristol Times and Mirror. SEELEY, SERVICE & CO., LTD., 38 GREAT RUSSELL STREET, W.C.

DAVIDSON, B.A. (Oxon.) Demy 8vo. With 53 Illustrations & 10 Maps. Price 25s. Nett SOME EARLY REVIEWS. "A veritable classic of travel."—Dundee Courier. "A wonderful record, beautifully illustrated. The whole book is packed with epic adventure."—Aberdeen Journal. "The author has collected his material from the accounts of travellers in widely-diversified regions.... He has a light touch and a turn for picturesque and clear narration that keep his book from becoming a mere dull file, and makes it a glowing and adventurous record.... Sumptuously produced with more than fifty illustrations.... A veritable classic of travel."—Dundee Courier. "Mr. Davidson has a keen sense of what is of general as opposed to specialist interest, and the result is a fascinating book, well illustrated and mapped." Birmingham Gazette. "A veritable library. Opening with chapters on hunting mighty game, the work goes on to deal with adventures in Labrador, Paraguaya, and the Sahara, treats next of the Haunts of Slavery and of the Wilds of Africa, takes up the tale of Madagascar as Nature's Museum, depicts New Guinea ('a Land of Perpetual Rain'), proceeds to the Home of the Bird of Paradise, and concludes with accounts of the Treacherous Tribes of Oceania." Aberdeen Free Press. "A unique volume.... It has furnished me with many delightful hours." Dundee Advertiser. "Strange and thrilling pictures of other peoples and lands.... A very readable and enjoyable book."—Sheffield Daily Independent. SEELEY, SERVICE & CO., LTD., 38 GREAT RUSSELL STREET, W.C. AMONG THE IBOS OF NIGERIA An Account of the Curious & Interesting Habits, Customs, & Beliefs of a Little-known African People by one who has for Many Years Lived Amongst Them on Close & Intimate Terms BY G. T. BASDEN, M.A., F.R.G.S. Demy 8vo. With 32 Illustrations & a Map. Price 25s. Nett SOME EARLY REVIEWS. "Expertly and admirably handled; the book is without question one of the most fascinating of its kind."—Illustrated London News. "One of those books which make a people live before us.... Most admirably illustrated."—Baptist Times. "One of the most readable books about primitive peoples which have appeared in recent years."—Manchester Guardian. "The author knows his subject, not as an observant, impressionable tourist, but as a man who has lived among the Ibos for many years."—Birmingham Gazette. "The classical authority on the very curious people it describes."—Record. "A comprehensive study of the customs and beliefs of the Ibo people, describing their marriage usages, their burial rites, their arts, crafts, music, trade and currency; their ways of making war; their religious beliefs (so far as these can be accurately discovered), and their sacrificial rites.... There are nearly forty admirable photographs."—Times. "A mass of information about Ibo life and character and customs which is probably unique, and which no British official or trader can ever hope to possess; and the substance of this information the author has condensed into these twenty-five well arranged and well written chapters."—Record. "He tells us what he knows about the Ibos—and he knows a great deal.... He knows too much to dogmatise.... What he does say one accepts without question.—Times. SEELEY, SERVICE & CO., LTD., 38 GREAT RUSSELL STREET W.C. THE LIFE & EXPLORATIONS OF FREDERICK STANLEY ARNOT F.R.G.S. The Authorised Biography of a Great Missionary BY THE REVEREND ERNEST BAKER Author of "The Return of the Lord." Demy 8vo. Illustrations & Map. Price 12s. 6d. Nett SOME EARLY REVIEWS. "A second Dr. Livingstone ... as stimulating as it is interesting."—Aberdeen Journal. "Amongst the greatest of Travellers."—Glasgow Herald. "A rich and moving book."—Methodist Recorder. "This book is a worthy memorial to a great man and a great work."—Birmingham Gazette. "We know very few missionary biographies equally IMPRESSIVE AND TOUCHING. Arnot was spiritually A VERY GREAT MAN. That he was one of the most faithful of Christ's servants is apparent from every page of the book. Mr. Baker has done his work in the right spirit, and with full sympathy.... There was much of austerity in Arnot's career, but there was no severity. There is a quiet and patient reliance through all—a reliance which carried him through most exacting circumstances.... One authority said that he had two great characteristics of a thorough African traveller—pluck and kindness to the natives.... Sir Francis de Winton said that Mr. Arnot had made the name of Englishman respected wherever he went, and had helped effectually in stopping the slave trade."—British Weekly. "A GREAT STORY GREATLY TOLD. From first page to last this book is of compelling interest. The diaries of the Great African Missionary are laid under contribution and the result is not only a fascinating story of adventure and travel, but an autobiographical record of immense value. THE BOOK IS LIKELY TO RANK AS A CLASSIC."—Western Daily Press. "Full of exciting incidents, the young can find in it plenty of remarkable jungle stories, and those of riper years will enjoy the graphic descriptions of travel in the tropics, the folk-lore, and especially the 'nerve' of Stanley Arnot in boldly facing and overcoming any task from 'buying' a little slave to amputating a chief's arm with a penknife and an old razor! Or, again, in boldly telling Cecil Rhodes that he would not play his game, and as boldly denouncing Portuguese and native rulers for prosecuting the horrible traffic in slaves." Manchester Guardian.
