“Mr. Maxwell is a most original traveller....  We have said so much of Mr. Maxwell the writer and traveller, that there is a danger of forgetting Mr. Maxwell the artist.  All the work has character; most of it has that delicacy of colour and outline which we have learned to associate with the author.”—­Athenaeum.

“On page after page Mr. Maxwell delights the eye with views and ‘bits’ picturesque, quaint or amusing, while his anecdotes and adventures make us laugh and long to follow in his footsteps, for he has the gift of description in words as well as in pictures.  This is one of the most thoroughly satisfactory artist-tourist books we have seen, and its publisher has done justice to the good material at his disposal.”—­Morning Post.

“A delightful survey of scenes.  Mr. Maxwell’s drawings are full of the right touch and insight, all faithfully conveyed and put into a sumptuous book.”—­Pall Mall Gazette.

“This is an exceedingly charming book.  Mr. Maxwell’s book is a genuine sketch book.”—­Daily News.

“Contains many clever drawings....  Charmingly sketched.”—­Evening Standard.

BY THE SAME AUTHOR.

“Exceedingly interesting....  The letterpress is full of vitality and humour; the reader is irresistibly carried on from one incident to another without a dull moment.”—­Saturday Review.

“A very handsome book.  It makes good reading, and a still better ‘picture book,’ and it is a valuable addition to the vast literature of the war.”—­Westminster Gazette.

“Full of good matter.  The pictures are finely done, and neither the Colour nor the black and white reproductions leave anything to be desired.  It is indeed one of the best war books published.”—­Outlook.

“A very handsome souvenir of the Last Crusade.”—­Pall Matt Gazette.

“Mr. Maxwell has made a most delightful album of scenes in the Holy Land.”—­Globe.

“A very beautiful and inspiring book.”—­Graphic.

“Mr Maxwell’s book is an exceedingly entertaining one both to read and to look at.”—­Field.

“Mr. Maxwell’s sketches are extremely good and vivid, and the text is lively and readable.”—­Land and Water.

“The drawings possess great artistic merit.  One of the most attractive books which the war has yet evoked.”—­Connoisseur.
