Birdseye Views of Far Lands
By James T. Nichols (1865-?)

Birdseye Views of Far Lands is an interesting, wholesome presentation of something that a keen-
eyed, alert traveler with the faculty of making contrasts with all classes of people in all sorts of
places, in such a sympathetic way as to win their esteem and confidence, has been able to pick up
as he has roamed over the face of the earth for a quarter of a century.

The book is not a geography book, a history book, or a treatise on sociology or political economy. It
is a Human Interest book which appeals to the reader who would like to go as the writer has gone
and to see as the writer has seen the conformations of surface, the phenomena of nature and the
human group that make up what we call a "world."

The reader finds facts indicating travel and study set forth in such vigorous, vivid style that the
attention is held by a story while most valuable information is being obtained. The casual reader,
the pupil in the public school and student in the high school, professional men and women, will all
find the book at once highly interesting and instructive. In no other book with which | am acquainted
can so much that is interesting be learned of the world in so short time and in such a pleasing way.
