Oriental life and manners. He possesses poetic feeling, which associated 

 easily with scenery and manners " Jlthenceum. 



" Mr. Warburton sees with the strong clear vision with which Heaven 

 nas endowed him, hut with this there are always blended recollections of 

 the past, and something though dashed in unconsciouslyof poetic feeling. 

 He brings to his work of observation an accomplished mind, and well -trained 

 and healthful faculties. We are proud to claim him as a countryman, and 

 are content thai his book shall go all the world over, that other countries 

 may derive a just impression of our national character." Britannia. 



" Mr. Warburton's book is very lively, and is most agreeably written." 

 Examiner. 



" A lively description of impressions made upon a cultivated mind, during 

 a rapid journey over countries that never cease to interest. The writer car- 

 red with him the intelligence and manners of a gentleman the first a key 

 to the acquisition of '< -^vvledge, and the last a means of obtaining access to 

 the best sources of information." Literary Gazette. 



" We know no volumes furnishing purer entertainment, or better calcu- 

 lated to raise up vast ideas of past glories, and the present aspects of the 

 people and lands of the most attractive region of the world." Court 

 Journal 



" Of recent books of Eastern Travel, Mr. Warburton's is by far the best. 

 He writes like a poet and an artist, and there is a general feeling of bonho- 

 mie in everything he says, that makes his work truly delightful." Weekly 

 Chronicle. 



" This is one of the most interesting and admirable publications of the 

 day. The accomplished tourist presents us with graphic and life-like de- 

 scriptions of the scenes and personages he has witnessed. His narrative is 

 written in the most elegant and graphic style, and his reflections evince not 

 only taste and genius, but well-informed judgment." Chester Courant. 



" We could not recommend a better book as a travelling companion than 

 Mr. Warburton's. It is by far the most picturesque production of its class 

 that we have for a long time seen. Admirably written as is the work, and 

 eminently graphic as are its descriptions, it possesses a yet more exalted 

 merit in the biblical and philosophical illustrations of the writer." United 

 Set vice Magazine. 



" Mr. Warburton possesses rapidity and brilliancy of thought, and felicity 

 %1 imagery. His natural and honest pleasantry is ever ready to give way 

 to the gush of genuine emotion, or the burst of unfeigned piety. Bui he haa 

 qualities even rarer yet a manliness of thought and expression, a. firm ad- 

 herence to whatever is h gh-souled and honorable, without one particle of 

 clap-trap sentiment. Let his theme be a great one, and for it alone haa lie 

 ears and eves ; and the higher and more poetic the subject, tiie more ele- 

 gant and spirit-stirring are his descriptions." Dublin University ./!//: g.i
