“The material is largely undigested but the industry of the author in collecting miscellaneous facts and fables pertaining to his subject has been immense, and his enthusiasm is contagious.”

Harry, Myriam. Conquest of Jerusalem. †$1.50. Turner, H. B.
“This story of modern Jerusalem is really a study of what is known as the ‘artistic’ temperament worked out in a morbid fashion. Hélie’s apostasy from the Roman Catholic religion upon his marriage with a deaconess of a protestant church destroys eventually the religious instinct in his nature. Many of the details of the novel are revolting.”—Critic.
“It is unwholesome and unpleasant.”

“An excellent translation.”
