An Orient Medley.
Wallace. The Repose in Egypt: A Medley. By Susan E. Wallace. Finely illustrated. Large 12mo, cloth, $1.00 (40c)
“Mrs. Wallace has a sense of humor, and her geniality sparkles and plays over pyramid, sphinx, Colossus and Nile scenery in a way that relieves her descriptions of a thousand times told tale of dullness or repetition. Nothing short of a vigorous writer could do that. The reader is carried along in the charming society of the ‘Antiquary,’ the ‘Historian,’ ‘Thalia,’ so that one feels quite of the party. * * * Romance and philosophy enter entertainingly into this ‘medley,’ which is not altogether without continuity, and the interest is sustained to the end.”—Literary Bureau, Washington, D.C.
