For those who have read "A Social Departure" it will besufficient to say that "An American Girl in London" equally deserves to be called one of the brightest and wittiest books of travel published for many years. The book relates the experiences of a bright American girl who goes to London imattended, disregards the formal English conventions, Bees all that is worth seeing with fresh eyes, and describes and comments upon English sights and the manners and customs of English people in a narrative always crisp, suggestive, and vivacious, and characterized by keen observation and appreciation of things worth knowing, as -well as by irresistible humor. The book has been generously illoetrated by F. H. Townsend, who furnished the clever illustrations for "A Social Departure."
