The Athenæum.—“His landscapes—in which nature is seen unforced by the hands of colour-loving men and women, and seen, more often than not, by early morning or evening light—have an exquisite delicacy.”

Constantinople ranks high as one of the picturesque cities of the world, and Mr. Warwick Goble, in his fine series of pictures reproduced in this volume, reveals it to us under many interesting aspects; we see it, for example, at early morning, with its spires and minarets emerging through the haze, when it seems like an enchanted city of the “Thousand and One Nights.” We get glimpses of life in its streets; we are shown its flower-markets, its bazaars, its cafés, its walls, its churches, its mosques, its cemeteries, and several types of its inhabitants form the subject of special sketches.
Dr. Alexander van Millingen, the author of the book, is Professor of History at Robert College, Constantinople, and is a recognised authority on all that pertains to the city. He has written out of the fulness of his knowledge in a way that cannot fail to interest the reader.

The Academy.—“Amongst books of its class Mr. Kelly’s deserves a high place. It is sincere and distinctive, and the artist records atmosphere and sky with more than ordinary understanding.”

Black and White.—“This is a magnificent production of his, abounding with fine pictures beautifully reproduced and teeming with fine descriptive touches and bright anecdotal matter.”

The object of the writer is to supply a congenial atmosphere in which the famous scenes and objects depicted by the artist may be intelligently and sympathetically viewed. Some amount of description has been given from recent personal observation, but the letterpress is mainly devoted to the historical associations connected with the different places of which pictures are shown. Some information is also given, incidentally, regarding the condition and prospects of modern Greece.
