Acre, Sidon and Tyre, Beyrout, Tripoli, Antioch, Aleppo, Alexandretta,
Adana, and Cyprus. Of several of these famous localities we know no more
compact and clearer account than that given in these volumes. We have to
thank Mr. Neale for one of the best books of travels that we have met
with for a very long time."--_Literary Gazette._
KHARTOUM AND THE NILES.
By GEORGE MELLY, ESQ.
Second Edition. 2 v. post 8vo., with Map and Illustrations, 21s. bound.
"Independently of the amusement and information which may be derived
from Mr. Melly's interesting work, the references to the relations which

instructive _vade-mecum_ to the interesting portion of the East of which
it treats."--_John Bull._

"An admirable addition to the library of religious families."--_John
Bull._

"No man could be better qualified to describe Nepaul than Captain Smith;
and his concise, but clear and graphic account of its history, its
natural productions, its laws and customs, and the character of its
warlike inhabitants, is very agreeable and instructive reading. A
separate chapter, not the least entertaining in the book, is devoted to
anecdotes of the Nepaulese mission, of whom, and of their visit to
Europe, many remarkable stories are told."--_Post._
"No one need go elsewhere for information about Nepaul. He will find it
all arranged in this intelligent and interesti
