 John P. Durbin, D.D. 2 vols. 12mo. Engravings. Muslin

It is a most rich, intellectual feast. — Buffalo Advocate. 



The volumes are, without exaggeration, equal in interest and graphic 

 effect to the best books of modern travel with which we are acquainted. 

 There is an off-hand frankness and spirit about the sketches, which are 

 always marked by caution and discrimination, so that the statements are 

 as reliable as they are attractively interesting. — Spirit of the Times. 



This book is curious, attractive, and instructive ; the author has avoid- 

 ed all useless lumber, and recorded in simple, unaffected language, his 

 observations upon what met his eye. His book shows the scholar, the 

 Christian, the philosophical observer, and the American patriot, but not 

 a bit of the pedant or the bore ; a more agreeable companion or guide 

 could scarcely be found than Dr. Dmbin.— Buff alo Com. Advertiser.

Dr. Olin's excellent volumes convey a great amount of information, also 

 remarkably accurate ; his volume contains the best account of Egypt that 

 has appeared in this country— perhaps in the language. — Dr. Durbin. 



This work, from the pen of the distinguished President of the Wes- 

 leyan University, is among the latest on the subject. It is rich in infor- 

 mation, pervaded by a lofty spirit, and entitled to entire confidence. — Dr. 

 Potter's Hand-booh.

 readers, as a production which does honour to the author. — Methodist
