Incidents Of Trarel in Egypt, Arabia, Pctr@a, and
The Holy Land. BY an American. New York -

These interesting volumes are now generally
known to be the production of Mr.. john L. STEVENS,
of New York, whose merit as an author and ira
weller, is only exceeded by his modesiy as a man.
The author has proved himself no, only nice
and shrewd observer of men and manners but an
accurate and graphic delineator Of art and nature
of the costume and habitations Of man, and the
beauty and sublimity of nature. He writes not frsm
study, but inspiration; and the topic, whatever it
may be, that animates him, thrills the reader The
author has brought to his subject thorough know
ledge of sacred and profane history and, while he
has passed over the ground, forever haowed BY the
first footsteps of the human race with the meek but
deep devotion OF christian, he has described il
with all the lively and curious spirit characters
tic of his counrymen. His ascent TO Mount Sinai,
brealhes all The devotion of pilgrim and thrills
with the inspiration of an Hebrew while the spirit
that animates him whenever he turns his thoughts
TO his countryand his country is rarely out of his
minds most worthy of the and the Anne
rican. ,..
The illustrations to these volumes, though light
and unpretendng, are still beautiful, appropriate,
and invaluable. They place you as it were face TO
face with the temples andtombs-with the wanderers
ofthe desert-aud with the desert and the mountains
themseves--w the Dead Sea and the Nile--the
wide waste and the great waters But enough.
