"The reader who once submits to its spell will hardly 

 lay it aside until the last page is turned.'* 



The Spectator (London). 



"This charming volume comes as strong wine indeed 

 after the tepid rose-water of books dealing with snails and 

 daffodils in suburban gardens. Mr. Van Dyke unques- 

 tionably knows his desert; he has the true wanderer's eye 

 for its essential fascination." The Athenaeum (London). 



"No virgin rush of young impressions, but an adult 

 mingling of vision and criticism in a style that engages 

 without startling the attention." London Academy. 



"Strange and curious reading, this book of the desert, 

 and has all the fascination of things unaccustomed." 



New York 'Tribune. 



'The writer's personality is carefully subordinated, 

 but one cannot help feeling it strongly; that of a man 

 more sensitive to color than to form, enthusiastic, but with 

 a stern hand on his own pulse." Atlantic Monthly.
