PHOTOGRAPHED SKETCHES IN THE HOLY LAND.

Mr. Masters has published the first part in a series of " Photographs from original sketches in the Holy Land and Syria, by Conway Shipley, Esq. ; " this fasciculus giving us one view of Nazareth, one of Baalbec, and two of Jerusalem. The photographs are executed by Messrs. Lock and Whitfield. The work is interesting chiefly as illustrating the way in which photo- graphy may be made to do the work of engraving in copying original sketches.
