That his ideas on this question have not
undergone any material change is shown
by the following from his Introduction TO
the volume:
'In commenting upon the causes OF the

The second volume contains several
series OF letters grouped under these
heads, respectively; "The Suez Canal"
up the Nile" Jerusalem" "To the
CasRln Sea-" and Through Persia"
The chapters leading up to the actual
opening of the Suez canal afford evidence
that the author skinned considerable

Stanley goes too far in claiming that
his letters on the Nile are "a guide for
modern travellers" They are calculated
to serve that purpose without suggesting
a too familiar acquaintance on the part
Of the author with the conventional guide
book. On the other hand. however. the
remaining letters have a decidedly guide
book flavor, and excite the suspicion that
the author was trying TO get over ground
too rapidly, and did not keep as wide

letters have a deal I'm them that Is peculiar

This work may not prove as interesting
10 the general reader as Sir Walter Scotts

instructive, and presents overlooked or
unknown features OF the character. pur-
suits, and history Of the people Of Wales.
This small but really important country
IS generally overshadowed, not only by
England but by Scotland, ireland, and
even India, when we think OF the British
empire, although IL gives title TO the heir
apparent of the throne OF that magnih-

This work Will, in a novel form, recall

Nor were pirates confined TO the coast OF
Wales; even at a much later date they
