The author of this exceedingly interesting book desires his reacjers to share 

 with him the pleasure of a tour in Italy, Egypt, and Syria, in which he studied 

 such points in the geology and physical features of those countries as might 

 throw light on their ancient history, and especially on the history of the Scrip- 

 tures. The chapters treat of the Firebelt of Southern Europe, the Haunts 

 and Habits of Primitive Man, Early Man in Genesis, Egyptian Stones and 

 Teaching, Egypt and Israel, The Topography of the Exodus, Palestine — its 

 Structure and History, Resources and Prospects of Bible Lands, etc. There 

 are numerous illustrations.

 Adams, and Co. Bath : Charles Hallett. 1888.) Price 5s. 



Dr. Freeman gives, in the work before us, a capital history of these 

 world-famed baths, which, we feel sure, will be read with interest by many 

 who do not require the waters for their medicinal values. A sketch of the 

 lives of some of the most prominent Bath physicians of a former age is given, 

 with a list of their more important works. In the account of the springs, 

 comparisons, both quantitatively and qualitatively, are made with Continental 

 and other Foreign Spas. The subject of Massage is treated at considerable 

 length, the European and American systems being respectively described. 

 We notice also that the diseases in which the Waters are, and those in which 

 they are not found efficacious, are carefully described and classified. The book 

 is beautifully illustrated by a number of Woodburytype plates and large 

 folding maps of the ancient Roman, and modern baths.
