This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1897. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... with his story to portray some of the incidents he has described with spirit, but, except in the case of the landscape views, it is hard to think that they have done their best. Talking of spirits, I do not think that the frontispiece has been happily selected; it is far too suggestive of a ' full-dress rehearsal' on the Brocken: whereas the picture of the crevasse, by the same artist (facing p. 170), is much better. The map is a model of clearness, and the whole ' get up' of the book reflects great credit on the publishers; without, however, desiring to be over critical, we cannot but think that in presence of Cook and Tasman, whose memories are constantly being brought to our minds, 'Discovery' on the title page of a mountaineering book is too big a word. W. S. Gbeen. The Exploration of the Caucasus. By Douglas W. Freshfield. Illustrated by Vittorio Sella. (London and New York: Edwin Arnold. 1896.) The first thing to strike us in taking up 'The Exploration of the Caucasus ' is the great contrast between it and Mr. Freshfield's previous book on the same mountains, and the circumstances of their ushering into the world. When the latter appeared it was as though Far off a solitary trumpet blew, and it was six years before an echo was heard in Mr. Craufurd Grove's ' Frosty Caucasus.' But now through the pages of the magnificent work before us we know not how many trumpets sound A peal of warlike glee! We heartily congratulate Mr. Freshfield, Signor Sella, and all who have contributed to these noble volumes--appropriately dedicated to the memory of W. F. Donkin. We shall not attempt to criticise them. Appreciation, not criticism, seems to us to be the natural attitude of all mountain-lovers towards the treasures here offered them. Comparisons are not called for, bu...
