[From the Round Table.]

"We have just now before us a pamphlet (Cameria) from the press of Robert Clarke & Co., of whose beauty we remain within bounds when we say it is surpassed not merely by nothing we have seen from the best Boston, New York, or Philadelphia presses, but that, in simple elegance, it is not inferior to the finest workmanship of London or Edinburgh. * * But aside from its merits for a half hour's amusement, or whatever value it has as a historical curiosity, its beauty alone should make it prized."

[From the Cincinnati Chronicle.]

"It is a fac simile of the original brochure, most beautifully executed, in the highest style of the typographical art. It is very creditable to the good taste and judgment of the firm. * * The Cameria appeared in the Edinburgh Evening Post of the 4th of March, 1781; and, said the original publishers, 'as it bears a lively resemblance to the manner of the late admirable DEAN SWIFT, and contains some striking allegorical passages, it is hoped that it will afford the reader some rational entertainment.'

NOTICES OF THE PRESS.

From the Am. Literary Gazette and Publishers Circular.

$1.75.

"There runs all through the volume a continuous vein of geniality, and, at times, of positive humor, a sympathy with all the persons and places visited, yet an eye to the ludicrous, and an apt suggestion of scholarship just at the right time and place. * The pervading style is neat and graphic. We have not, for a long time, met with any work of this class which was really more enjoyable."

From the New York Nation.

"We do not remember a Nile tourist who exhibits more plainly, or more feelingly, that intimacy with the sky which must result from the monotony of the river scenery. The colors of morning and evening are noted, if not with warmth, at least with apparent precision, which, perhaps, is to be said of all Dr. Burt's descriptions. He is also the first, so far as we know, to set down the music of the boatmen of the Nile, which has been often alluded to, and sometimes in comparison with the blacks of the sea islands."

From the Christian Instructor.

"Having passed over much of the ground, and mingled in the very scenes described, we take real pleasure in commending the correctness of its general descriptions, and having made use of letters written on the spot and at the time, there is a special freshness and zest about the work. Dr. Burt evidently possesses a genial nature, and has the admirable talent of being able to travel in all sorts of ways, and among all sorts of people, without continually finding fault and distressing his readers with complaints."

From the Philadelphia Presbyterian.

"We assure our readers that they will find Dr. Burt's book one of great attractiveness, giving, as it does, fresh and vivid descriptions of the scenes made forever sacred by their connection with the history of the chosen people, or the earthly life of our blessed Lord. There is no story so fascinating as that which tells of journeyings through these old lands, and Dr. Burt has told his story well."

From the Pittsburg Commercial.

“A book of extraordinary interest and ability. We know of no work giving so much instruction and entertainment in the same number of pages. It should be in every family and Sunday school library."

From the Cincinnati Gazette.

"He so skillfully avoided threadbare subjects, and so happily and simply described the men and scenes encountered in his travels; so exactly hit the popular taste in telling just what the mass of readers are curious to know, that his correspondence has the freshness of a story related

"The amount of information embodied, and the graceful, easy, and spirited way in which it is imparted, make the book a valuable addition to our stock of travels.'"
