Demy 8vo. 18s.

"We conclude with a cordial recommendation of this valuable book. In former years, Mr. Vambery gave ample proofs of his powers as an observant, easy, and vivid writer. In the present work his moderation, scholarship, insight, and occasionally very impressive style, have raised him to the dignity of an historian."-Saturday Review.

"Almost every page abounds with com

position of peculiar merit, as well as with an account of some thrilling event more exciting than any to be found in an ordinary work of fiction."-Morning Post.

"A work compiled from many rare, private, and unavailable manuscripts and records, which consequently cannot fail to prove a mine of delightful Eastern lore to the Oriental scholar."-Liverpool Albion.
