Bread -- History
By the Rev. Canon TRISTRAM, D.D., LL.D., Author of “The Land of Moab,”
“The Natural History of the Bible,” etc. With many Illustrations by
EDWARD WHYMPER, from Photographs and Sketches. Demy 8vo. Cloth, gilt
top, 10s. 6d.
“Dr. Tristram is an experienced traveller, keen in
observation and kindly in appreciation, an accomplished
field-naturalist, and an enthusiastic collector of
things rare or beautiful both in nature and art. These
qualities have stood him in good stead during his visit
to Japan.”—_The Times._
=Thirty Years in Madagascar.=
By the Rev. T. T. MATTHEWS, of the London Missionary Society.
With 60 portraits and other Illustrations. Demy 8vo, 6s.
“The great merit of the work lies in the many pleasing
descriptions of the country and of the people—their
customs, religion, language, and social life. The
illustrations are in all respects admirable.”—_The
Scotsman._
=The Chronicles of the Sid; Or, The Life and Travels of Adelia Gates.=
By ADELA E. ORPEN, Author of “Stories of Precious Stones,” “Margareta
Colberg,” etc.
With many Illustrations. Crown 8vo. Cloth boards, 7s. 6d.
This book is a record of a very remarkable series of
travels undertaken by a lady named Adelia Gates. Alone
and unaided she has trodden, not only the beaten tracks,
but has also traversed the Desert of Sahara, the Nile
as far as Wady Halfa, Palestine, and all parts of
Iceland—these later trips beginning at an age when most
ladies consider their life-work done.
=Our Journey to Sinai.=
=A Visit to the Convent of St. Catarina.=
By Mrs. R. L. BENSLY.
With a Chapter on some Readings of the Sinai Palimpsest, by F. C.
BURKITT, M.A. Illustrated from Photographs taken by the Author. Crown
8vo. Cloth, 3s. 6d.
“The scholarly enthusiasm which attracted Professor
Bensly to Mount Sinai, and the perennial fascinations
of oriental travel are well reflected in Mrs. Bensly’s
pages, and a concluding chapter by Mr. Burkitt,
containing a part of the account of the Sinai Palimpsest
which he gave at the Church Congress, adds not a little
to the value and interest of the volume.”—_The Times._
=Among the Tibetans.=
By ISABELLA BIRD BISHOP, F.R.G.S.
With Illustrations by EDWARD WHYMPER. Crown 8vo. Cloth, 1_s._ 6_d._;
paper cover, 1_s._
With her power of vivid description Mrs. Bishop enables
the reader to realise much of the daily life and many of
the strange scenes to be witnessed in that far-off land.
