Reviews

"Cities and Sea-Coasts and Islands is a book to be read over and over. It is a permanent addition to English literature." --Catholic World

"A book like this is valuable. . . . Its method seems not to arrive merely through the medium of writing. It seems to employ all the arts to its delicate and profound ends." --The Dial (London)
