" Any one who has read Mr. Burton's narrative of his pilgrimage to Medina and 

 Mecca, knows that whatever may happen to him he will recount in a manner which 

 may be described as fascinating. He is a true traveller, with all a traveller's keen- 

 enjoyment and quickness of perception, and with sufficient literary skill to im-

 and the light that is in him is refracted most agreeably." THE TIMES.
