Abstract
THESE slight, discursive sketches of the life of a wandering, archaeologist in the Nearer East are interesting arid instructive. The studied archaism of the style, a trick which may have been learned from Mr. Doughty's famous “Travels in Arabia Deserta,” becomes, after a time, a little monotonous, but it gives a piquant flavour to his accounts of eastern life and character. The writer is one of the school of scholarly antiquaries, trained by the British Museum, who, in spite of many hardships and the necessity of making scanty funds go a very long way, have done noble service in adding to our national collections.
