Ritchie, J. Ewing (James Ewing)
East Anglia (England) -- Description and travel
‘Mr. Ritchie has here written a most attractive chapter of
autobiography. He recalls the scenes of his early days, and whatever
was quaint or striking in connection with them, and finds in his
recollections ready pegs on which to hang historical incident and
antiquarian curiosities of many kinds. He passes from point to point
in a delightfully cheerful and contagious mood. Mr. Ritchie’s
reading has been as extensive and careful as his observation is keen
and his temper genial; and his pages, which appeared in _The
Christian World Magazine_, well deserve the honour of book-form, with
the additions he his been able to make to them.’—_British Quarterly
Review_.

MESSRS. EDMUND DURRANT & CO. have the honour to announce their
publication of this new work by the eminent Archæologist and Antiquary
who has done so much towards elucidating and making popular the monuments
and remains of Ancient Rome.
DR. FORBES’ new topographical study is based on information afforded by
the Sacred Scriptures and ancient writers, which, as he shows, agree,
when read aright, with the existing remains and recent explorations. The
author gives simple solutions to the difficulties that have sometimes
been made concerning the topography; and by his remarks renders the Bible
notices clear. All who are interested in the ground whereon our Saviour
taught and trod, should possess this concise and valuable study on the
City of Peace.
The work is well printed in clear type, and illustrated with maps and
plans drawn and executed specially for the purpose, and by a
chromo-lithographic representation of Solomon’s Temple, copied from the
original recently found in the Catacombs at Rome, and now for the first
time published.

SON, in Europe; or of the Publishers,
