Wilson, Rev. C. T. Peasant life in the Holy Land. *$3.50. Putnam.
“Peasant life in Palestine was cast in stereotype plates centuries ago, long before the Christian era, and the present life is printed from the old plates. Therefore to see how peasants live and what they think and feel now is to understand how they lived and what they thought in the time of Christ, not to say in the time of Abraham. That fact gives to a portrait of modern life by one who has been a long-time resident of the Holy Land value as well as interest.”—Outlook.
“It is only when he quits his own subject to indulge in speculations or a general view that he stumbles.”

“This interesting book is not so much, as the author claims, a contribution to the folklore of Palestine, altho some stories are given, as a description of the peasant life.”
