Abstract
A GOOD deal has been written about Morocco lately, and Mr. Harris's volume is an interesting, although not a very important, contribution to the literature of the subject. He describes first a journey through northern Morocco, then a journey with H.B.M. Special Mission to the court of the Sultan at Morocco city, next a visit to Wazan and a ride to Sheshuan; and in a final chapter he sums up the impressions produced upon him by the Moors and their country. In the chapter on his ride to Sheshuan, he describes a place which had been “only once before looked upon by Christian eyes.” Mr. Harris does not pretend to have produced an exhaustive work on Morocco; but he presents clearly what he himself has had opportunities of observing.
