Nos. XIII. and XIV. HISTORY of ARABIA, Aa-
cient and Modern. By ANDREW CRICHTON.
" This Cabinet Libr4ry maintains its high character,
and does the greatest credit to its publishers. It is not,
like half the trash of the present day, put together without
thought and care, with so recommendation but being short
and cheap, and the great objection of being superficial and
ignorant ; hut, in every case which the reviewer has seen,
has evidently had long care and thought bestowed upon it
by most competent persons. Mr. Crichton's History of
Arabia is very valuable, and shows that he has cArefully
studied and judiciously selected the hest parts of the best
writers, who, for ordinary readers, are quite out of the
question. There is excellent feeling through the book,
and a very pleasant style. To those who wish to read
S,ripture with advantage, such a hook is of very great
value."—British Magazine, Dec. 1833

the highest importance to the general cause of mankind
are discussed in these pages."—Weekly Dispatch.
