DEPOSITORIES-77 GREAT QUEEN STREET, LINCOLN'S INN FIELDS, W.C.; 4 ROYAL EXCHANGE, E.C.; 48 PICCADILLY, W., LONDON; AND BY THE BOOKSELLERS. Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. THE LAND OF ISRAEL (continued). "He has done most important service in a rich and neglected field. . . . We have read the narrative with thorough enjoyment. . . The attempt to interweave scientific detail with general impressions, and with the incidents of a delightful campaign, has been accomplished in a manner which goes far to justify the experiment."-Saturday Review. "The interest of Mr. Tristram's journal is so varied, that it is difficult in a brief notice to characterise the work as a whole. . . . The book, which is extremely well got up' and illustrated, is one which an intelligent and thoughtful reader cannot fail to appreciate. . . . Mr. Tristram's work not only bears the marks of honesty and good faith, but is evidently written by a clear-headed and highly cultivated man."-Fortnightly Review. "Next to Dean Stanley's eloquent narrative of travels in Palestine, we do not know of a more interesting book on the same subject than the one before us, by the Rev. H. B. Tristram. Though professing to be only an account of the physical features of the Holy Land, it treats with great fulness of the character, manners, and customs of the various races inhabiting it, and seeking in the contemplation of ruined temples and cities the conuection of past and present, gives a singularly lucid picture of the country of the Israelites, the birthplace of Christianity. There is a singular freshness about all the descriptions.... Though always graphic, and often eloquent, Mr. Tristram yet says what he has to say in a simple, unadorned style, straining neither after effect, nor falling into the equally common fault of learned obscurity. We have no doubt of the 'Land of Israel' becoming what it deserves to be-a most popular book. . . . We need not further dwell upon the interest of Mr. Tristram's book, sufficiently proved by the preceding extracts. But we have to add that the work is accompanied by two maps and numerous illustrations, including four chromo-lithographs, all of a very superior kind. The whole of the illustrations, we are informed, were executed after drawings and photographs taken on the spot by the friends and fellow-travellers of the author."-Spectator.
