Excerpt from Travels in the Philippines Tag a vols which form the subject of the following pages were en in the yws 1859 and 1860, but were suddenly intermpted by unforeseen circumstances long before the objects which had been aimed at had been accomplished. Although the hope was entertained of subsequently conn'nuing the half-ho work could not be yet it led to further studies, which made the author acquainted with many facts which had previously been but little known, and showed at the same time how scanty and incorrect was all the information about this beaun'ful country, and especially about the provinces in which he had made the longest stay.

Book Description
Excerpt from Barbara's Philippine Journey The two books of Jane Andrews, however, Seven Little Sisters and Each and All, have shown the possibilities in this field when a master hand works it. Their two most striking merits are, first, that they do not deal with the earth alone, - the most common fault in most treatments, - but with the earth in relation to man; they center the interest in personalities, and might, in fact, be called biographical studies of geography second, the facts are presented in story form, with a style causing them to take rank as literature. One of the great needs in this field is that of more books of this sort. The story of Barbara's Philippine Journey bids fair, I believe, to be classed with these two books of Jane Andrews. It covers different ground with a very different plan. But it likewise pre sents the facts in relation to a child, and in a style that is even more simple than that of Jane Andrews, while being very attractive.

Excerpt from Stories of Long Ago in the Philippines Perhaps the result seems incommensurate with the labor expended, but it must be remembered that it is the first attempt to write the story of those days in verified detail. No secondary work could be depended upon. The field of Philippine history, as is well known, has never had the benefit of modern historical method.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Philippine Islands: Illustrated Because of the importance of the matter and the fact that invisible influences, political and private, are working in both the lower and upper houses of the United States Con gress in both parties to force these valuable Islands out of the hands of their real owners - the American people - I am reprinting in this smaller form the Philippine section of my larger work, United States Colonies and Dependencies. In that are gathered the results of my observations and investiga tions in Porto Rico, Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands, Guam, the Philippines, the Panama Canal Zone, and interesting matter relative to our dependencies, Cuba, Haiti, the Dominican Republic and the Republic of Panama. The gathering of this material involved a special trip of miles to Alaska, visits to Porto Rico, the West Indies and the Panama Canal, and a journey around the world. Altogether, I traveled about miles in securing the photographs and information used in my complete work, United States Colonies and Dependencies. The matter herein contained first appeared in The Saturday Blade, one of our four publications. If widening of human knowledge and a better capacity for the solving of our national problems are in any degree the result of this or my larger book, I shall count myself well paid. It certainly has given me a broader and more certain understanding of the world, and a larger love for my own country.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Woman's Journey Through the Philippines The difficulty discovered, it must be local ized. A hush falls over the ship. Down to the testing room go the experts. Seconds, minutes, hours crawl by. At last some one leaves the consultation for a brief space, frowning heavily and apparently deep in thought. No one dares address him, or ask the questions all are longing to have nu swered, and when his lips move silently we know that he is muttering over galvanometer readings to himself. During this time every one talks in whispers, and not always intel ligently, of the electrostatic capacity of the cable, absolute resistances, and the coc i Cients of correction, while the youngest mem ber of the expedition neglects her beloved poo'dle, sonorously yclept Snobbles, and no longer hangs him head downward over the ship's rail.
