Dr. Petrie’s researches in the desert region to which Sinai belongs offer large returns to the student of archaeology. “On the way he picked up a few unconsidered trifles in the way of ancient remains; but his main work lay at Maghareh, where the turquois had been mined, and at neighboring Serabít, where was erected the temple to Hathor, the Lady of the Turquois. This temple Mr. Petrie’s party planned and excavated, with the results that, considering the remoteness of the region from Nilotic civilization and the frequency with which the spot has been researched, are truly amazing.” (N. Y. Times.)

“Its ingredients are excellent, stamped with the hall-mark of the author’s original and independent mind. We only sigh for a little more art in the concoction of them, a little more sense of the difference between a book and the rough notes for several books.”

Pfleiderer, Otto. Christian origins. *$1.75. Huebsch.
This book has grown out of a series of lectures delivered by the author at the University of Berlin, during the past winter. The viewpoint from which he treats the origin of Christianity is historical, and a complete interpretation of the meaning of his method with its relation to other methods is furnished in the introduction. The two main divisions of his study are Preparation and foundation of Christianity, and The evolution of early Christianity into the church.
“This volume is in our judgment the most important religious work that has appeared during the past year.”
