Twenty - one Years' Work in the Holy Land (Bentley and Son)
has been published for the Committee of the Palestine Exploration Fund, and reviews what has been done under its auspices since its founda- tion. The first report was made by Captain, now Sir Charles, Wilson. Lieutenant Anderson (now dead) was associated with Captain Wilson. Lieutenant Warren (now Sir Charles Warren), Captain Condor, Mr. C. F. Tyrwhitt Drake, Professor Palmer, are other names associated with the work. Between thirty and forty thousand pounds have been spent on exploration. Any one who desires to see the results will find them succinctly stated here, and can hardly fail to be satisfied. Being satisfied, he will possibly be inclined to help in what remains to do. It mast be remembered that only Western Palestine has been explored, and that excavations have been made nowhere but in Jerusalem. Even in the mere publication of the work already done, there is much kill awaiting ampler means.
