Abstract
IN this volume Mr. Luke again shows the knowledge and insight, together with the charm of style, that have made notable his previous volumes on the Near East. Among the flood of books on various parts of the eastern Mediterranean, it is rare to find one written with more authority or marked by greater conciseness and first-hand observation. It is entirely unpolitical, and consists of a series of short essays on various towns and districts, including Mount Athos, Salonika, Adrianople, Cyprus, the Holy Sepulchre, Petra, and the cities of Transcaucasia. The chapters on Cyprus are among the most vivid in the book, and recall the charm of the island. There is a quaint and sufficient map, and the illustrations are well chosen. The coloured frontispiece of Mount Ararat is excellent.
Anatolica.
