WORKS BY THE SAME AUTHOR.
A Burmese Enchantment.— " One of the most attractive
features of Captain Enriquez's book on Buima
is the genuine pleasure he takes in the country and
its people. Books have been written of Burma
which have struck the note of romantic attractiveness,
but which leave a suspicion that romance was
introduced more as a paying proposition than as a
real quality of the country. There is no question
of that with a book by Captain Enriquez. He
has Uved in the country for many years, and has
made a first
hand study of all of which he writes.
It is impossible for the reader not to be convinced
that the author has found a deep attraction in
Burma, a conviction which is sustained by the
matter of fact and humorous way in which most
of the descriptions are given His powers
of concise description are considerable
Graphic touches are numerous The
author has picked up many quaint and
interesting items of information. His sympathy
extends to the wild life of nature, and he has some
lively and engaging passages on this topic
The illustrations are photographs taken by himself
and are well chosen.
