A MONTH

IN

SWITZERLAND.

BY THE REV. F. BARHAM ZINCKE.

Crown 8vo. 5_s._

A SELECTION of NOTICES by the PRESS.

‘Those who care to read Mr. Barham Zincke’s works will gladly
welcome another from his hand, and will know pretty well what to
expect in it. They will look for occasional pages of vivid and
humorous description, interspersed with a much larger allowance
of trains of reflection on a great variety of topics, which are
always sensible, often new, and never dull. These expectations
will be fully realised in reading “A Month in Switzerland.”...
There is one remarkable chapter of a hundred pages, very well
written, which is a little lecture on the various forms of land
tenure, and the social and moral results that flow from them. Mr.
Barham Zincke, in spite of the attractive aspect which industry
wears in the Valley of the Visp, is not in favour of peasant
proprietorship. It is not, he thinks, in harmony with the spirit
of the age, which recognises capital and not land as king.’

GUARDIAN.

‘We part from these results of a month in Switzerland with
imperfect sympathy, indeed, in some points, but with satisfaction
in most, and with respect in all.’

SATURDAY REVIEW.

‘There is quite enough in this little volume to arrest the
attention of anybody who cares for an hour’s intercourse with
the mind of one who has carefully pondered some of the deepest
problems which affect the physical well-being of his fellow
creatures.’

SPECTATOR.

‘The preface to Mr. Barham Zincke’s holiday notes on Switzerland
warns “those who may have read his ‘Egypt of the Pharaohs and of
the Khedivé’ that this little book belongs to the same family.”
We are thus prepared for the same features of thought, the same
observant eye, the same cast of mind, at once penetrative and
receptive, that were displayed so conspicuously in Mr. Zincke’s
former work; nor are we disappointed.’

EXAMINER.

‘Mr. Zincke’s dissertation on this most important subject (the
land question) deserves careful attention, coming, as it does,
from a man whose previous works have thoroughly established his
reputation as a thoughtful and original writer. Indeed, Mr.
Zincke’s book is well worth reading for the fourth chapter alone.’

DAILY TELEGRAPH.

‘It is eminently a thoughtful book.’

EGYPT OF THE PHARAOHS AND OF THE KHEDIVÉ.

BY THE REV. F. BARHAM ZINCKE.

Second Edition, much Enlarged. With a Map. Demy 8vo. 16_s_.

_SELECTION from NOTICES by the PRESS._

‘We have in this volume a thoughtful, almost exhaustive,
treatment of a subject too often handled by mere _dilettante_
writers, who dismiss as unworthy of notice the problems with
which they are unable to cope.... We heartily commend Mr.
Zincke’s delightful book as a fresh pleasure to the thoughtful
reader.’

SPECTATOR.

‘A more independent and original volume of Egyptian travel
than at this time of day we should have thought possible. Mr.
Zincke has a quickness of eye, a vigour of judgment, and a
raciness of style which place him far above the ordinary run of
travellers.... Readers will lose much if they do not make some
acquaintance with this truly remarkable volume.’

LITERARY CHURCHMAN.

‘Each chapter takes some one topic, treats it in sharp piquant
style, and generally throws some new light upon it, or makes it
reflect some new light upon something else. If these bright and
sparkling pages are taken as containing suggestions to be worked
out for oneself and accepted or rejected in the light of more
mature knowledge, they will be found full of value.’

GUARDIAN.

‘Mr. Zincke speaks like a man of rare powers of perception,
with an intense love of nature in her various moods, and an
intellectual sympathy broad and deep as the truth itself.’

SATURDAY REVIEW.

‘A very pleasant and interesting book.... Mr. Zincke tells his
readers exactly such facts as they would wish to know. The style
is captivating.

WESTMINSTER REVIEW.

‘A series of brilliant and suggestive essays.’

EXAMINER.

‘Mr. Zincke’s personal observations, original remarks, and
practical views, make him worthy of being consulted by all who
desire to have something more than a picturesque and sentimental
description of the peculiarities belonging to modern Egypt.’
