" Peculiar interest attaches to this volume, not only on account of its subject, which ia 

 at the present juncture one of the most important that engages public attention, but also 

 on account of its being a posthumous work of a very great and good man, whose decease 

 is still deeply lamented by a large branch of the Church. The Rev. Dr. Olin made 

 provision in his will that, " in case he left no children, the copyright of his ' Travels in the 

 East ' should be given to the Wesleyan University at Middletown ; and moreover, that on 

 the death of Mrs. Olin, and in default of children to inherit, the whole of his property 

 should fall to the University. His wife and son survive him, but the present volume is 

 dedicated, in the spirit of his last will, to the object he so dearly cherished. The whole 

 profits of the book will accrue to the Wesleyan University, to whose trustees the copyright 

 has been assigned." This statement is derived from Dr. McClintock ; but we add that 

 the attractions of the book are sufficient to merit and secure the attention of the public, 

 Without any adventitious interest. Dr. Olin's fine powers of description were stimulated 

 to their highest exertion by his tour through classic and Oriental regions, and all that he 

 observed is depicted to the mind of the reader in truthful colors. The introduction has 

 been prepared by Dr. McClintock with great ability, and with that thorough mastery of 

 his theme which usually characterizes his writings." — N. T. Commercial Advertiser. 



" Whoever has read Dr. Olin's volumes, containing an account of his travels in the 

 East, will need no other inducement to place this additional one in his library. The 

 countries it describes are not less interesting in their history, than the monuments of the 

 arts and sciences which they retain even in their ruins, and Dr. Olin possessed in great 

 excellence that graphic power which presents things in their realities to an attentive 

 reader. Withal, we know what he writes is always true. He was too conscientious to 

 indulge his imagination, vivid as it was, at the expense of truth. We may safely rely, 

 both upon his statements, and his descriptions, in which regard travellers are proverbially 

 p> one to exaggeration, if not to fanciful creations of their own. The deep concern in 

 the public mind which recent occurrences in the East have enkindled, cannot fail to create 

 a general desire to read this volume, which we assure our friends will abundantly repay 

 the perusal." — Christian Advocate and Journal. 



" Thankfully, but mournfully, will it be received and read. Thousands who remember 

 the peerless mind and majestic form of the author, will recognize in these pages the 

 tracings of his masterly hand. ****** it has been highly gratifying to us to 

 read this last and unexpected work from the gifted and sainted Olin. He has 'fallen 

 asleep,' but his memory will be devoutly cherished by the thousands that knew him. 

 Apart from recollections of this kind, the volume is worthy of attention, and we predict 

 that few who begin to read it will wish to stop till they have read it through." —Northern
