The Home of Fadeless Splendour ; or, Palestine of To - Day.

By George Napier Whittingham. (Hutchinson. 24s. net.)—Mr. Whittingham does not profess to have given more than "a series of impressions jotted down " during a first visit to Palestine. He mingles what he has read and what he has seen in an agreeable though somewhat shapeless book. His chapters on Bethlehem and on Galilee may be noted. The book is illustrated with eight coloured plates by Mr. Stanley Iuchbold and with sixteen black-and-white drawings by Mr. B. C. Boulter.
