Ten Weeks in Egypt and Palestine. By Catherine Janeway. (Kegan

Paul, Trench, and Co.)—The author of this book went the common round, as far as Phila3 and the First Cataract, and then, on another occasion, to Jerusalem. She has not trespassed much on her reader's attention, for she has put both tours into one modest-sized volume of 15S pp. It would have been as well if the had limited herself strictly to what she saw with her eyes and heard with her ears. The notion of the "needle's eye" being a gate or a substitute for a gate (used when the actual gate was closed) is a fiction. The photographs with which the volume is adorned are excellent.
