"Colonel Churchill's work contains all that is necessary to be known
of the geography, the products, the past history, and the present
prospects of the Lebanon. It contains the best account we have yet
received of a country the natural fortress between the Eastern and
Western world, which is destined again to rise into importance. We
could scarcely point to a narrative which illustrates more strikingly
the peculiar features of Oriental character, and the wonderful
vicissitudes of Oriental life. 'Mount Lebanon' is a valuable addition
to our geographical and historical literature."--_Daily News._
"It abounds in curious and interesting details, and contains much
unfamiliar knowledge. It is a book that in point of information will
leave no man as it found him; and it is also as entertaining as works
on Oriental matters almost always are. The elaborate account of the
Druse religion is extremely valuable."--_Examiner._
"It is not for a moment to be disputed, that all that has before been
done for this subject is surpassed by that which has been accomplished
by Col. Churchill in this work; and the conjunction in his case of
the most favourable opportunity, distinguished ability, and thorough
interest in his task, has rendered his volumes equally remarkable for
their literary attractiveness, and their social and political value.
Col. Churchill's now complete and reliable work cannot fail to be
highly esteemed, and to attract general attention."--_Nonconformist._
"These volumes are very curious and interesting, containing
abundant details of a country so little known as Mount Lebanon,
personally collected and herein ably communicated by Colonel
Churchill."--_Athenæum._
