ANOTHER BuDcEr; or, Things which l
saw in the East. BY Jane Anthony
Eames, author Of "Budget Of Letters"
&c. Boston Ticknor g. Fields
1866.
This is one Of the most agreeable books
Of travel that we have read Ia long time
the author, who is Rhode Island lady,
went abroad to see all that was interesting
on the route which she pursued, and her
descriptions are vivid and extremely inter-
esting. She writes in an easy AMI natural
manner, in quite a conversational spirit,
iinparting all her thoughts and feelings,
without in the slightest degree wearying
the reader. We cannot give better idea
of the volume than by quoting the follow
ing criticism from the Boston Transcript,
which is excellent authority in regard to
all literary matters:-
"Another Budget or Things which |
saw in the East. BY Jane Anthony Eames,
author OF "A Budget Of Letters, etc. l2mo.
482 PIP. Boston: Ticknor & Fields."-
This is very clever work, written in the
spstoary style, being series OF forty-four
admirably written letters by the au,horess
to her friends, during journey of fourteen
months in the East. The author travelled
over the usual route, but saw and noted
many things not perceived or noted by a
host of male journalists who have preceded
her and given their productions to the
world. The writer has quick eye tor
strange sights, and peculiar happy faculty
in conveying to her readers the Impressions
received by her. Her style is spirited and
happy, and her descriptions OF scenes and
events racy and interesting,as we'll ~ anu
sing and instructive. She went from Eng
land to Malta, and Alexandra in Egypt,
thence to Cairo, sailed up the. Nile to the
Cataracts, visited Palestine and Asia Minor
and noted many sacred spots spoken OF in
the Scriptures, speaking of them as they
now appear. The descriptions of scenes
in the Holy Land, the Dead Sea, the Jordan
and Jericho, Jerusalem, Mount Zion, &c,
the valley OF Jehosaphat, the brook Kedron,
Gethsamane, Sloan, Bethany, the tombs OF
theprophets and OF Lazarus, the Mount OF
Olives, &C., are graphic and spirited, and
will be read with profit and intense inter-
est by all seeking information OH these nev-
er firing themes We have in this volume
the impression made upon the mind OF an
ouoCItuiS aAu wCi euuCobcu Wosuaus VI
lively ina gination, quick perception, and
great originality, and a most readable book
is the result. She evinces rare good senss
in the selection OF subjects for comment, to
the rejection of commonplace themes usu-
ally noted by travellers. The author init
mates that il these letters are fnvoraby re
cievod, (and of this we believe there can be
very little doub,,) another volume, to con-
tain her letters written from Constantine
pie, Athens, and FROM various parts OF Ger
many, Holland and Belgium, will be given
TO the public during the summer. The
work is published in the very best style of
the publications of Messrs. Ticknor &
Fields, and will no doubt meet with entire
success.
