Some readers vs Mr. Fleming's Asia" articles in "The Tumes," written in what he calls his "three pile, fireproof, Printing Hodac Square prose," may possibly have feared that the high serious ness of Central Asian polities and a-Special the responsiblities of Correspondent might affect that
lively and humerous outlook on men and things, that keen enjoy ment of his own sallies and sorties, which distinguished the "Brazilian
Adventure,"
There seemed, at the reviewer's first glance. some grounds for ap prehension of this sort, because, for the first time, the author has supplied an Index to his work, not to mention a map, reproduced by

phical Society. But the reader need not go far with him to discover that such fears are groundless.
