This handsome volume is especially designed for the
large number of Bible students who never expect to
vis, the Holy Land DR. Fulton is learned clergy
man of tho Episcopal Church, who ranks high as
clear, forbe and thoughtful writer and his record OF
y lesurely journey made through Palestine is well
worth reading. Many books have been written about
the Holy Land. but hardly Of them is available for
the uses Of the ordinary student Dr. Thonpson's
great work. The Land and the Book is too bulky and
dscusive Barclays "City OF the Great King is too
restricted in its scope Picturesque Palestine" with
ell its merits. is useless handbook OF Our LORDS
LIFE DIR. Hurlbuts "Biblca Geography" is too
meagre and "Baedeker" is too dry 1t was to supple
ent deficiencies of these books meritoous as they
all in many ways, that pr. Fulton prepared this
volume, and the result is Itinerary OF the earthly
sourneytngs Of Christ in the Beautiful Land that
cannot fail to be both interesting and instructive Be
ginning at Joppa where the modern traveller lands
tho reader is conducted to Bethlehem and from there
in order TO Nazareth, Jordan, Jerusalem, cana,
GaNee samarla and all the other regions made forever
memorable by the sacred story Ct the Savours life and
death. To take such journey With wellinstructed
and sympathetic ccerone is a great privilege In
travelling it is not enough TO see; one needs also TO
know what to and how TO see IT, DR.. Fulton does
not simply reproduce the atmosphere Of the distant

that but he relates to in pleasant fashion the
later history Of the localities whose story he tells so
that the chasm between the days Of old and the pres
emit day is br1dgpd over for the reader The book is
beautifully printed on heavy paper and is adorned
with numerous maps and full-page Illustrations.

author was learned lawyer, whose knowledge OF the
ancient rolls records, legal and historic literature OF
Ireland fitted him in special manner for this investi-
CATION. He originally intended to carry his inquiry
down to 1882, but from cause he did not carry
mis- purpose into effect The essay has long been out
of print and very scarce and doubt the present ably
edited issue will be welcomed by scholars students
and statesmen.

The seventh volume of Henry Morley's "An At
tempt toward q History Of English Literature" deals
with the period from Caxton to Coverdae. 1t is not
less careful and eudte than its predecessors and we
are compelled to add that it is not less difficult read
ing than the other English Writers" For purposes
OF reference this of is Of consequence, and
the student may derive much information from books
whose style is not attractive.
