The Fringe of the East. By Harry Charles Lukash. (Macmillan

and Co. 12s. net.)—Mr. Lukach, writing with knowledge as well as with an agreeable style, tells the story of a journey made by him in 1908 through some of the Turkish provinces. The greater part of the narrative is devoted to the Holy Land ; but Rhodes and Cyprus are both described. The book is illustrated with a large number of good photographs.
