A hitherto unpublished account by the late Lord Kitchener of

a ride from Gaza to Jerusalem in 1875 is to be found in the now Quarterly Statement of the Palestine Exploration Fund (Is. not). Lord Kitchener's description of the Greek Holy Fire Ceremony on Easter Eve, which Holman Hunt painted, is a fine piece of writing, and makes us wish that his scattered Reports and articles on Palestine could be collected and published as a memorial of him.
