II.—FROM EGYPT TO JAPAN.
From Prof. ROSWELL D. HITCHCOCK, D.D., LL.D.
“In this second volume, Dr. Field, I think, has surpassed himself in the first, and this is saying a good deal. In both volumes the editorial instinct and habit are conspicuous. Dr. Prime has said that an editor should have six senses, the sixth being, a “sense of the interesting.” Dr. Field has this to perfection....”
III.—ON THE DESERT.
WITH A BRIEF REVIEW OF RECENT EVENTS IN EGYPT.
An account of a journey in the track of the Israelites along the Red Sea, among the peaks of Sinai, through the Desert of the Wandering, and up to the Promised Land.
From the NEW YORK HERALD.
“There is not an uninteresting chapter in the book. It is entertaining throughout. It depicts men and countries in a picturesque and thoughtful manner, and is likely to meet with as much favor as the author’s former capital books of travel.”
IV.—AMONG THE HOLY HILLS.
A description of the sacred localities of Palestine by a veteran traveller. The interest of the Holy Land above all others, is that here was spent the most wonderful life that ever was lived on the earth; and the purpose of the journey, to which this book is indebted, is to trace that life from its beginning among its native hills and to follow closely in the footsteps of our Lord, not merely in the streets of Jerusalem, but through Samaria and Galilee, along the lake shore and on the mountain side.
