ResumoMR. DAVIS resides as Chaplain at Alexandria, and the present thick volume is the result of a tour in Northern Syria, in the summer of 1875. It is surprising that a region so full of interest should have been so little visited, and therefore Mr. Davis's account of what he saw is specially welcome. That there is much to interest in these parts is evident from all that Mr. Davis tells us, and his quiet and painstaking narrative will well reward a careful perusal. The pictures, coloured, from drawings by Mr, Davis, are unusually good, and add greatly to the interest of the volume, which is likely to take its place as a standard reference-work on the region with winch, it deals.
