FROM JERICHO TO BETHLEHEM There is nothing in the Holy Land more impressive than the country that lies about Jericho. It has a vigorous wildness, essentially and splendidly masculine, which uplifts the spirit of man. It is an ascetic, but it is also a tonic region, a place for robbers, but also for anchorites, for the activitiesof crime, but also for the activeness of saintliness. JERUSALEM Jerusalem is interesting as no other city is interesting, and that quality of it increases its grip upon one day by day, using up the intellect, stirring the faculties to an almost untiring activity that perhaps becomes feverish at the feverish time of Easter. To every lover of a superb bookj this companion volume to Egypt and Its Monuments will be a joy. The spirit and the exquisite colors of Mr. Gu6rin s paintings are in these reproductions. The photographs were selected with much thought by a high authority. The text is in two printings on plate finish paper; and the pages are broad-margined and deckle-edged. The green cloth binding is richly decorated in color and gold, with an adaptation of a Guenn drawing. The whole is a volume of rare and artistic beauty. Royal octavo. 302 pages.
