“The Life Travels and Books of Alexander von Humboldt has already gone
into a _fifth_ edition. * * * It is entertaining as a romance, and
contains the cream of Humboldt’s books. * * * The plan of the work is
excellent. The biography is combined with the wanderings of the old
_savant_, and the essence of numerous volumes is here artistically
condensed into one. A more readable and instructive book has not been
lately issued.”—_Philadelphia Daily Press._
