Lady Sybil Lubbock's account of .a winter journey On Ancient

Ways in Egypt and the Holy Land (Cape, 7s. 6d.) contains some admirable bit& of superficial description. The " fields the Blessed Feet have.trod" will not be set before the reader's eyes as they do still exist under all their historic tits- figurements, but he will see them as in a photograph, clearly. For this method of depiction there is after all much to be said.
