"The first edition of this book has been before the public for some years. Written with all the original author's
brightness and skill, and dealing with one of the most fascinating countries on the globe, it deserved, as it has
attained, a high place in the popular regard. The lamented death of Dr. Manning, in iSSi, prevented him from

which bids fair to do useful work in the way of exploring ancient sites."
