“‘The book,’ says Mr. Arnold in his preface, ‘does not aspire to take the place of any learned treatise or methodical guide, but simply to catch the joyous spirit of the rich sunlight of the river, and to reproduce its scenes and sights by easy and passing touches.’ This aim it attains with very considerable success.... Really a delightful book.”--_Spectator._ “We cannot but congratulate Mr. Arnold on his success as a clever and effective narrator. Seldom have we read a more enjoyable book of travels than ‘Palms and Temples.’”--_Literary World._ “Mr. Arnold’s book is distinctly new, novel, and interesting.”--_Land and Water._ TINSLEY BROTHERS, 8, Catherine Street, Strand.
