“This indifference to the large lessons to be learned from recent historical study of the Gospels is the more to be regretted, since the author proves himself so well qualified, in his general knowledge and by his warm religious feeling, to discuss the high theme upon which he has expended so much patient labor.”

Barry, J. P. At the gates of the east: a book of travel among historic wonderlands. $2. Longmans.
“The information contained in the volume was not obtained from other books of travel, but derived at first hand. The places were visited in separate circular tours ... both in the spring and the autumn. The volume opens with descriptions of the capitals of Eastern Europe ... Cairo is the next city dealt with, after which come the cities of Southern Greece ... the eastern Adriatic towns ... and in the Western Balkans, Cettinje and the Provinces of Bosnia and Herzegovina. A chapter on ‘Ways and means,’ in which the author tells the prospective tourist how to plan the trip outlined in his book, where to start and at what time of the year, what places to see, a word concerning costs and money, guide books, etc., closes the volume.”—N. Y. Times.
