" The work is a model of what its class should be ; the style restrained, 

 the narrative clear, telling us all we wish to know of the country and 

 people visited, and enough of the author and his feelings to enable us to 

 trust ourselves to his guidance in a tract hitherto untrodden, and dangerous

 on the Arabs and one of the best books on Arabia, but he has done so in a 

 manner that must command the respect no less than the admiration of his 

 fellow-country men. n FORTNIGHTLY REVIEW. " Considering the extent 

 of our previous ignorance, the amount of his achievements, and the im- 

 portance of his contributions to our knowledge, we cannot say less of him 

 than was once said of a far greater discoverer Mr. Palgrave has indeed 

 given a new world to Europe" PALL MALL GAZETTE.
