Many Biblical students, Sunday School teachers and tourists in the Mediter- 
ranean will be glad of this unorelentinus work, which is professedly based on the 
more learned writings of Canon Tristram and Dr. Post. Chapters on the flowers, 
thorny plants, tropical and alpine plants and trees of Palestine, in which much 
information has been collected, are followed by an alphabetical list with descrip- 
tions of the genera, the fulness of which may be gathered from the fact that it 
occupies nearly 130 pages. This has been carefully compiled, though the proofs 
should have been revised by a botanist. The illustrations, of which Mr. Stock 
allows us to reproduce two specimens, add considerably to the attractiveness of 
a pleasing volume.
