By Land and Sea Through Five Continents

By G. C. Tenney

BY G. C. TENNEY

Of the merits and practical value of this excellent work the following testimonials will speak:—

“This book is such an account of the five great continents as could be written by a Christian gentleman with eyes wide open to see the things of greatest moment and interest. The book does not descend to the ordinary level of travel gossip, but picks out the things of greatest interest from a physical, mental, and moral standpoint, which are presented by the varied forms of civilization in the five continents. The author has a happy literary style, and every page is replete with interest and instruction.”—Good Health for January.

“‘By Land and Sea.’ A book especially adapted to the needs of our young people at this time when the cause is needing young men and women with a burden for foreign fields. It presents the conditions, customs, and general knowledge of the leading countries from the standpoint of one who believes in the special message for this time.”—The Central Advance, Feb. 24, 1904.

“I am glad that Elder Tenney has revised his splendid book, ‘Travels by Land and Sea,’ bringing it up to date. Before traveling in the countries described by the book, I secured a copy and read it with much interest. Later, when it became my duty and privilege to follow in the footsteps of the author, and to see some of the things as he saw them, I was impressed with the acuteness of his observation, and his faithful and absolutely truthful description of the things he saw. The book is a delightful one to read. The style is easy and forceful. Various principles of truth are presented in a natural way wherever the incidents or places suggest them.”—E. R. Palmer.

“If you wish to take an interesting trip of accurate observation around the world for little expense, procure and read ‘By Land and Sea, Through Five Continents,’ by G. C. Tenney. This book is well written, is a record of accurate observation, is profusely illustrated, and sells for the low price of $1.50.”—Signs of the Times, Jan. 20, 1904.
