104. 247Probably no other history more fully illustrates how

‘Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown’

than does that of Ceylon; so very many of the kings reigned less than one year ere they were murdered, or else were so weary of their own crimes that they committed suicide. One was murdered on the very day of his accession. One died of strong drink. Several, who were deposed by usurpers, had their eyes put out.

WORKS BY C. F. GORDON CUMMING.

I.

WORK FOR THE BLIND IN CHINA.

6d. NET. With Illustrations.

‘The intensely interesting and pathetic history of an earnest and ingenious Scotsman.’

Published by GILBERT & RIVINGTON, St. John’s House, Clerkenwell,

London, E.C.

II.

IN THE HEBRIDES.

‘Miss Gordon Cumming manages to put together as agreeable and readable a volume as has ever come even from her facile, graceful pen.’—Pall Mall Gazette.

‘Readers will find plenty of thought-provoking material, in addition to pleasant sketches of character and vivid pictures of scenery. The volume, we may add, is admirably illustrated and very tastefully bound.’—Derby Mercury.

‘Miss Cumming’s book, made up of a large collection of interesting facts personally ascertained by herself in the course of a delightfuldelightful cruise, is no less fascinating than her accounts of Hawaii or Fiji, or the many pleasant places she has been so fortunate as to visit on her travels.’—Morning Post.

‘A more interesting volume it would be hard to find.’—Christian World.

‘Miss Cumming writes with a keenness of appreciation and a minuteness of detail which sustains the interest of the reader from first to last. She is as good with her pencil as with her pen. The volume will furnish a mass of interesting knowledge which not one in a hundred travellers would of themselves pick up.’—Dundee Advertiser.

‘Miss Cumming is among the very best of our writers of travel.’—Contemporary Review.

London: CHATTO & WINDUS, Piccadilly.

III.

‘Miss Cumming is never dull. She possesses in a high degree the three great desiderata of the traveller—observation, sympathy, and humour. She is the cheeriest of wayfarers.’—Pall Mall Gazette.

‘Miss Gordon Cumming’s books are always worth reading. Many illustrations, those of the great Snowy Range being specially good, give an extra charm to the book.’—Manchester Examiner.

London: CHATTO & WINDUS, Piccadilly.

IV.

VIA CORNWALL TO EGYPT.

‘Miss Cumming is an author whose books of travel are always sure of a welcome, and her last one will be read with more than ordinary pleasure.... The whole volume is a happy combination of instruction and interesting reading.’—Christian World.

‘Thanks to Miss Cumming’s very considerable powers of word-painting the reader may while away a pleasant hour with her in the alternation of lively chat with glowing reminiscences.’—Athenæum.

‘Pleasant and profitable reading. There is unexcelled originality and piquancy in Miss Cumming’s eloquent yet simple style. Her present book cannot but gratify everyone.’—Whitehall Review.

London: CHATTO & WINDUS, Piccadilly.

MAN-OF-WAR.

Post 8vo. with Illustrations and a Map, 12s. 6d.

‘We are transported, by a series of vivid pictures of easy lives and glorious scenery, to the clustering islands of the Southern Pacific.... The brightness that made Miss Gordon Cumming a universally welcome guest is reflected in every one of her chapters; and her style is as fresh and clear as it is simple and unaffected.’—Saturday Review.

‘Another delightful book.’—Athenæum.

‘It is impossible to give extracts which will convey an idea of the loveliness of the scenery of these isles. The volume must be read to accomplish this.’—Academy.

‘Her readers owe her nothing but thanks for having given them yet another glimpse of perhaps the most attractive region of the whole world.’—Pall Mall Gazette.

WILLIAM BLACKWOOD & SONS, London and Edinburgh.

VII.

FIRE FOUNTAINS.

THE KINGDOM OF HAWAII: ITS VOLCANOES, AND THE HISTORY

OF ITS MISSIONS.

With Map and numerous Illustrations. 2 vols. 8vo. 25s.

‘Miss Gordon Cumming, who has painted such a life-like picture of Fiji, has performed an equally edifying task for this group of islands.... History, customs, laws, and scenery of the islands all come into view in these delightful volumes.’—Daily Telegraph.

‘With pen and with pencil Miss Cumming describes what she sees well and graphically; and we have read nothing heretofore about these great open volcanic displays that brought their main features so vividly before the mind’s eye.’—Pall Mall Gazette.

WILLIAM BLACKWOOD & SONS, London and Edinburgh.

VIII.

New Edition.

GRANITE CRAGS.

Illustrated with 8 Full-page Illustrations. Post 8vo. 8s. 6d.

‘Miss Cumming possesses a rare facility for investing sketches of travels with interest, and it is enough to say of her latest contribution to descriptive literature that it is worthy of her reputation.’—Globe.

‘As fascinating as any of her former works.’—Whitehall Review.

‘In these pages we live a vivid, real life in California, piloted delightfully through the mysteries that throng a new country—new, at any rate, to the civilisation of the present century.’—Sunday Times.

‘There is very much to interest and amuse the reader in “Granite Crags,” and the glories of the wondrous valley which the public spirit of the Californians has set apart for ever as one of the grandest of “People’s Parks” have never found a more appreciative chronicler.’—John Bull.

WILLIAM BLACKWOOD & SONS, London and Edinburgh.

IX.

Third Edition.

WANDERINGS IN CHINA.

With Portrait of the Author, other Illustrations, and a Map. 8vo. 10s.

‘We know of no book of travel which sketches so graphically the “heathen Chinee” and his surroundings, whether in the sweltering cities of the south, or in dirt-begrimed Pekin.’—Athenæum.

‘It is one of the most informing books on China that has ever been written in English.... A work packed full of interesting facts about “actualities” in China, and most readable and entertaining from beginning to end.’—Contemporary Review.

‘We can safely say that she saw more of China and the Chinese than any recent traveller who has taken the public into his confidence. And not only so, but she has thoroughly appreciated what she saw, and by the aid of a graphic pen has given us an excellent book on the country and people.’—Academy.
