" No person of any time ever formcil a more noble 
subject for the i>en of the historian or the biographer, 
than the Duke of Wellington ; and never, perhaps, 
was there an eniintnt jierson of whose actions, and 
even thoughts, more copious records have existence. 
The numerous accounts of his military exploits, par- 
ticularly of his g orious campaigns in the Peninsula, 
I'S recorded by Napier, and his own extraordinary 
dispatches and correspondence given to the world under 
the edit(U'ship ot Col. Gurwood, furnish materials as 
p(M feet .IS they are authentic ; and of these and other 
documents Mr. Soano has most ably availed himself: 
his work is compendiously restrained within the limits 
of two volumes, and it gives a clear and full narrative 
of the Duke's great actions, in a style equally energetic 
and perspicuous." — Argus.

" We have seldom met with a book of travels whidf 
has afforded us more pleasure than the 'City of th? 
Culiphs.' Full of adventure, of glowing description, 
and of perilous incident, it excites for itself a species of 
interest nearly allied to romance— it has in fact all the 
charm of romance attached to the worth of reality." — 
Literary Gazette, 
" A publication of singular interest and entertain- 
ment. In these days of dull and Hat common-place, it 
is quite reiieshing to come upon a narrative of strange 
travel and wild adventure like this, which recnisto mind 
the exploits of the old voyagers of Spain and England, 
when half of the world was undiscovered, and the 
other hi-lt unknown. Oer traveller quits India by em- 
barking on the Persian Gulf in a trading vessel bound 
lo Muscat, and ihe first impoilaut features of his narra- 
tive relate to that remarkable ciiy. Here he commen- 
ces slave merchant, and embarks lor Ganibrun, visiting, 
in his way thither, some of the singular islands in the 
Persian Gulf, and particularly those where the pearl 
fisheries are established, of which he gives an interest- 
ing description. In due course he reaches Bagdad, the 
celebrated ' City of the Caliphs,' remains there a con- 
siderable lime, and allords many delails of it that are 
not to be found in the narrative of any other traveller. 
Among the most interesting of his adventures are those 
which take place among the Arabi ot the Desert, par- 
ticularly the Bedouins, with whom he passes a consi- 
deialde period. Another point of great interest in these 
sketches is the celebrated city of Damascus, of whicn 
we have many graphic and i-haraclereslicdescriptions; 
also of Tripoli, Lebanon, and Baalbcc."— .Vara/ and
