"Colonel Churchill's work contains all that is necessary to be known of the geography, the products, the past history, and the present prospects of the Lebanon. It contains the best account we have yet received of a country the natural fortress between the Eastern and Western world, which is destined again to rise into importance. We could scarcely point to a narrative which illustrates more strikingly the peculiar features of Oriental character, and the wonderful vicissitudes of Oriental life. 'Mount Lebanon' is a valuable addition to our geographical and historical literature."—Daily News.
"It abounds in curious and interesting details, and contains much unfamiliar knowledge. It is a book that in point of information will leave no man as it found him; and it is also as entertaining as works on Oriental matters almost always are. The elaborate account of the Druse religion is extremely valuable."—Examiner.
"It is not for a moment to be disputed, that all that has before been done for this subject is surpassed by that which has been accomplished by Col. Churchill in this work; and the conjunction in his case of the most favourable opportunity, distinguished ability, and thorough interest in his task, has rendered his volumes equally remarkable for their literary attractiveness, and their social and political value. Col. Churchill's now complete and reliable work cannot fail to be highly esteemed, and to attract general attention."—Nonconformist.
"These volumes are very curious and interesting, containing abundant details of a country so little known as Mount Lebanon, personally collected and herein ably communicated by Colonel Churchill."—Athenæum.
