In 3 vols. 8vo, with a new and important Map, laid down by the British Officers of the Expedition. Original Portraits of Druse and Maronite Chiefs, and Illustrative Landscape Drawings, by F. Halpen, Esq.

With Descriptive Sketches of its Scenery, Productions, &c.; the Manners and Customs of its Inhabitants, particularly of the Druses and Maronites; and a full and correct account of the Druse Religion, Historical Records of the Mountain Tribes, from Personal Intercourse with their Chiefs, and other Authentic Sources.

"This is one of the most important as well as most interesting works, not of the day, but of the age. The very name of 'Mount Lebanon' commands an involuntary attention, and these volumes are worthy of their subject. Colonel Churchill writes from personal observation, not as a cursory traveller, but a settled resident. His judgment is sound, his observation extensive and yet minute, his style vigorous and unaffected, and thus he has been enabled to give the world the most valuable fruits of opportunities never surpassed respecting a locality of worldwide interest."—Lit. Chron.

"This is a serious and thoughtful book. The wit of 'Eothen,' and the fancy displayed in the 'Crescent and the Cross,' are here superseded by earnest researches into the social condition of the Syrians, their religious feelings, their diversity of tribes and manner of life, and recent historical occurrences which intercourse with the chief actors and living authorities has enabled. Colonel Churchill to record."—Globe.

"There can be no doubt that Col. Churchill's 'Mount Lebanon' is the most complete work on the subject that has been given to the public. The history of the Druse religion forms a most interesting and important feature in these volumes."—Observer.

"Of the Druses, Colonel Churchill gives us by far the best account we possess. The Maronite Christians are depicted with a minuteness that leaves nothing to be desired; and of Lebanon itself he has presented a complete picture, geographical and physical—its aspect in the various seasons, its animal and vegetable inhabitants, the productions of its soil, its capacity for agriculture and manufactures, its commerce, its arts, its manners, its customs; the social condition of its people, their political and economical organization, their land tenures, their religion, and their superstitions."—Critic.

"As a body of information upon the state of this very interesting country; upon the manners, customs, and historical traditions of its inhabitants; and upon its position relatively to the political questions that now agitate Europe, we cannot too highly praise Col. Churchill's work."—New Quarterly.

"Colonel Churchill's work contains all that is necessary to be known of the geography, the products, the past history, and the present prospects of the Lebanon. It contains the best account we have yet received of a country the natural fortress between the Eastern and Western world, which is destined again to rise into importance. We could scarcely point to a narrative which illustrates more strikingly the peculiar features of Oriental character, and the wonderful vicissitudes of Oriental life. 'Mount Lebanon' is a valuable addition to our geographical and historical literature."—Daily News.

"It abounds in curious and interesting details, and contains much unfamiliar knowledge. It is a book that in point of information will leave no man as it found him; and it is also as entertaining as works on Oriental matters almost always are. The elaborate account of the Druse religion is extremely valuable."—Examiner.

"It is not for a moment to be disputed, that all that has before been done for this subject is surpassed by that which has been accomplished by Col. Churchill in this work; and the conjunction in his case of the most favourable opportunity, distinguished ability, and thorough interest in his task, has rendered his volumes equally remarkable for their literary attractiveness, and their social and political value. Col. Churchill's now complete and reliable work cannot fail to be highly esteemed, and to attract general attention."—Nonconformist.

"These volumes are very curious and interesting, containing abundant details of a country so little known as Mount Lebanon, personally collected and herein ably communicated by Colonel Churchill."—AthenÆum.

"Tales full of a rich variety, telling of all lands, of all characters, and of every gradation of life."

"Two truly delightful volumes; the most charming of all the works of a charming writer."—Blackwood.

"A beautiful and touching commentary on the heart and mind of woman."

"Mr. James's characters are drawn with the utmost attention to existing records. The events are industriously studied, so as to bear the stamp of historic truth; and the very landscapes are painted with that fidelity which an artist only can bestow."—Monthly Review.

"We are indebted to Mrs. Jameson for these very delightful volumes."—New Monthly.

"A series of admirable biographies of celebrated Female Sovereigns."—Metropolitan.

"This work is full of animated yet deep reflection; it is strikingly marked by originality of views."—Literary Chronicle.

"This is a particularly curious book. In her sensible and searching theological dissection of the Quaker Sect, Mrs. Greer has recorded the best possible justification of the step she took in leaving it."—Warder.

"Interesting and attractive, instructive and suggestive it is, and must be so alike to that mixed multitude who are antithetically called the Religious world, as well as to every English churchman."—Liverpool Mail.

"The extraordinary delineation of the heroine is such as to fasten the attention of the reader on the track of the matchless female Machiavel from the first page to the last."—Lit. Chron.

"If all works of imagination were like this, the school of fiction would soon become the highest school of morality. There is as much to delight as to improve in this work. A woman true and faithful to her duty, beautiful in her devotion, ennobling the humblest position, yet so acting as to dignify the highest."—Post.

"There is no living English author, whatever his reputation, who need be ashamed of having written such a work as this. It is original and masterly in design, and in execution shows the vigour of a youthful artist, confident in his powers, and possessing powers worthy of his confidence. We may safely predict that those who read this work once will be very likely to read it twice."—Tait's Magazine.

"The author of these volumes did wisely when, seated in his own domain, he employed his pen and his powers to delineate scenes of which he himself was perfect master, but which are shut out from us as entirely as though they belonged to another portion of the globe."—Literary Chronicle.

"A Tale of every-day life, well written, and pointing a wholesome moral."—Critic.

"Realizing those agreeable scenes of rural life so dear to the national heart. It is difficult to shake off the impression that we are really listening to a narrative of facts told in the very person of their chief actor. The delineations of natural country life are among the foremost merits of the book."—Lit. Chron.
