NINEVEH AND BABYLON: 



A POPULAR NARRATIVE OF A FIRST AND SECOND EXPEDITION TO 

 ASSYRIA, DURING THE YEARS 1845—1851. 



By a. H. LAYARD, M.P., D.C.L. 



New and Revised Edilion. With Illustrations. 2 Vols. Post 8vo. 15s. 



' ' Few men have had such intimate ac- 

 quaintance with Eastern customs and cha- 

 racter as Mr. Laj'ard, and he describes his 

 experiences in a fi'esh, vigorous stj-le that 

 insphes the reader with quite as much inte- 

 rest in the people among whom he lived above 

 ground as m the winged bulls and lions he 

 dug up from the bowels of the earth. In this 

 new abridgment Mr. Layard incorporates the 



information which has been obtained by sub- 

 sequent discoveries among the ruins, and by 

 the progress made in the interpretation of the 

 cuneiform inscriptions. He has also com- 

 pleted the account of the devil worshippers by 

 the narrative of subsequent visits to that 

 strange sect ; all his information on the sub- 

 ject is thus brought together." — Fall Mall

MADAaASOAR EEVISITED. 



SETTING FORTH THE PERSECUTIONS AND HEROIC SUFFERINGS OF 



THE NATIVE CHRISTIANS, AND THE EVENTUAL TOLERATION 



OF CHRISTIANITY. 



By rev. W. ELLIS. 



"With Illustrations. 8vo. 16s-. 



" We have here a very full account of the 

 change in the country which was •\\Tought by 

 the death of the old Queen, under whose cruel 

 rule such bitter persecutions raged against 

 the Chiistians, and the accession of her son 

 Eadama, who was in every respect a most 

 complete contrast to his mother. Mr. Ellis's 



account of this young prince is most interest- 

 ing. The sudden change in the country pro- 

 duced by his accession to the throne was such 

 as can hardly be adequately described ; it was 

 a sudden influx of light and liberty and joy 

 without stint or drawback." — John Bull. 



TRAVELS IN CENTRAL ASIA. 



ACROSS THE TURKOMAN DESERT TO KHIVA, BOKHARA, AND 

 SAMARCAND, IN THE DISGUISE OF A DERVISH. 



By ARMINIUS VAMBERY. 



With Map and Illustrations. 8vo. 21s. 



"Every one is welcome to have his own 

 ideal of heroism, and his own pet hero, among 

 ancient instances and personages, and down to 

 our own days ; but we beg to pronounce, on 

 ouj own individual account, iu favour of 

 Arminius Vambery, a Hungarian gentleman 



of scientific tastes and fame, who commenced 

 in 1863 one of the most wonderful and perilous 

 journeys ever undertaken by a traveller, and 

 who has recorded his achievements in one of 

 the simplest and most unpretending books 

 ever written." — Chambers's Journal.
