[*] Hart, Jerome. Levantine log book. [**]$2. Longmans.
All the reverence with which one likes to approach the Holy Land is shattered by the genially sarcastic observations which the author makes upon all his observant eyes saw in the Levant. His Levant includes Stamboul, Smyrna, Jaffa, Jerusalem, Cairo, Luxor, Thebes, Alexandria and other places naturally included in this itinerary, and his log book is a record of cheerful disillusionment, but the pictures he draws are amusing enough to compensate for the shock his revelations bring. The volume is illustrated with photographs, many of which were taken by the author.

[*] Harte, Francis Bret. [Her letter, His answer, and Her last letter.] $2. Houghton.
“For the present reprint, these old favorites have been literally, as the title-page has it, ‘pictured’ by Mr. Arthur I. Keller.... The illustrations, a few more in number than the stanzas, are in color or in tint, some from wash-drawings and others from pen-and-ink sketches. They catch both the humor and the sentiment of the verses, and the artist has not forgotten that the life of Poverty Flat is now a full generation behind us.”—Dial.

[*] “‘Her letter’ is certainly one of the artistic triumphs of the season’s output.”
