“Modern Palestine;” 
or, 
The Need of a New Crusade. 
By the Rev. JOHN LAMOND, B.D., Edinburgh. 
‘ * This is a pleasant, practical, common-sense book, the tone of which con¬ 
trasts, one might say, with its sub-title, ‘The Need of a New Crusade.' ”— 
Spectator . 
“ A pithy and pleasantly written description of his recent travels in the Holy- 
Land. Mr. Lamond often turns from graphic and attractive pen-and-ink 
pictures of places and people to point out the abject misery which prevails in a 
land of sacred and imperishable associations.”— Speaker . 
“This is a delightful book of travel about the most interesting country in 
the world.”— Kilmarnock Herald. 
“This book needs no resolve to read it. There is a fine aroma of the 
fascinating book of travel about it. Its interest is in the travelling flavours 
it so successfully preserves.”— Expository Times . 
“The narrative is made so enchantingly interesting that the reader must 
perforce continue his perusal. The book would form a suitable addition to a 
Sunday school, Y.M.C.A., or home library.”— Stirling Observer . 
‘ ‘ Mr. Lamond has his own story to tell, and, as might be expected, he does 
it well. He has the pen of an eloquent descriptive writer, and he has conse¬ 
quently produced a book which is from beginning to end captivating, 
instructive, and calculated to lead to much and serious thought. . . . The 
volume contains sixteen well-executed engravings, and the binding and get-up 
of the volume is all that could be desired.”— Christian News . 
“All who are interested in ‘those holy fields,’ especially Sunday school 
teachers and leaders of Bible classes, will find material for thought and 
reflection in this book. . . . We like the genial spirit and cultured intelligence 
of this small volume, and commend it as a suitable introduction to larger 
works on Palestine.”— Methodist Times . 
“ Mr. Lamond has the very rare gift of being able to write a straightforward 
entrancing narrative—a thing so difficult to do, a thing so seldom done, that 
it is nothing less than genius to be able to do it. Mr. Lamond’s style runs on 
without strain or effort, but you feel when you have finished the book that you 
will not soon forget the instruction, or the pleasure of the hours you have spent 
upon it.”—Rev. Alexander Whyte, D.D., Edinburgh. 
“ It is written in splendid style and with graphic descriptive power. The 
conclusion at which it arrives is one to which I say ‘Amen.’ ”—Rev. George 
MATHESON, D.D., Edinburgh.
