PICTURES FROM SICILY.
Illustrated with Twenty-three Engravings on Steel, and several
Woodcuts.
"As a work of reference it is of the highest utility; as an ornamental
book it is unsurpassed; and as a guide to the traveller it has no
equal in the English language."--_Observer._
"This is a very handsome and pleasing pictorial hand-book of the
beauties of Sicily. The illustrations do honour alike to the artist,
engraver, and publishers--and the style is, generally speaking,
graphic and faithful ... with an interest beyond its pictorial
claims."--_Athenaeum._

FORTY DAYS IN THE DESERT;
ON THE TRACK OF THE ISRAELITES;
OR, A JOURNEY FROM CAIRO BY WADY FEIRAN TO MOUNT SINAI AND PETRA.
Illustrated with Twenty-seven Engravings on Steel, a Map, and numerous
Woodcuts.
"Mr. Bartlett has made a book, pleasant in letter-press, as well as
attractive in its illustrations--delicately finished line engravings
of subjects particularly well chosen."--_Athenaeum._
"A very handsome volume, copiously and cleverly illustrated in
the vignette style; an elegant table-book, or most acceptable
present."--_Atlas._
"Entertainingly written, and crowded with steel engravings of
a superior character, which combine to make it a very handsome
volume."--_Critic._

THE NILE BOAT;
OR, GLIMPSES OF THE LAND OF EGYPT.
Illustrated by Thirty-five Steel Engravings, Maps, and numerous
Woodcuts.
"There is an actuality about the descriptions, and a beauty about the
illustrations, that render this glimpse of Egypt peculiarly charming.
The sketches and descriptive maps render the views witnessed in the
'Nile Boat' beautiful realities."--_The Sun._

GLEANINGS ON THE OVERLAND ROUTE.
Illustrated by Twenty-eight Steel Plates and Maps, and Twenty-three
Woodcuts.
"The reader will find abundance of interesting and amusing information
in the volume. As a work of art, it possesses very considerable
merit."--_Chambers's Journal._
"An individual of able research and active observation conveys to us
his impressions in language terse, concise, and never tedious;
we listen with pleasure to his tale. Well executed pictorial
illustrations considerably enhance the merits of this pleasing
work."--_Tait's Magazine._

JERUSALEM REVISITED.
With Twenty-two Steel Engravings and Woodcuts.
"A beautiful monument for a lover of Art."--_Athenaeum._

read,"--_Leader._

an unusual power of expressing space and size in the limits of a small
vignette."--_Guardian._
