THE MUIR GLACIER.

1901, pp230-239, illustrations (usually no more than one or two). Removed from WITH THE WORLD'S GREAT TRAVELLERS, Edited by Charles Morris and Oliver H.G. Leigh. May include a first or last copied page. VG. From the introduction:"No other countryh in the world possesses so many unique wonders of nature as the United States. The Yosemite Valley, Yellowstone Park, Mammoth Cave, Niagara Falls, and Sequoia Groves, each stand alone in its peculiar beauty or grandeur; and to these we may add the Muir Glacier in Alaska, before which the famous Glaciers of the Alps shrink into insignificance, and which has no rival outside the Arctic zone. A WOMAN'S TRIP TO ALASKA, by Mrs. Collis, gives a vivid and picturesque description of this glacial wonder, which we here append.The sketch given is preceded by a statistical one, in which we are told that the glacier sheds from its front one hundred and sixty million cubic feet of ice every twenty four hours.".
