**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." — T/ie Athenceum (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.
