those who may have stumbled on a truth to hold by it,' and, following the example of his persistency, 'learn to labour and to wait' in other things as well. The sixth lecture deals with 'The Story of a Tell,' and is Mr. Flinders Petrie's account of his exploration of Tellel-Hesy, the site of Lachish. It has already been told by him at greater length and with more detail in a separate publication of the Palestine Exploration Society, so that we need not make any full reference to it. We may only just point out how his knowledge of Egyptian antiquity is used to date the stages in the history of the Mound, so that we are led to put the earliest foundation of the place to the beginning of the seventeenth century B.C.;' while the latest objects found, of course nearest to the top of the Mound, are all prior to the time of Alexander the Great, hence it is certain that we must place the whole history of the Tell before the fourth century B.C.' We will only notice, further, the general results of the exploration and one particular find. The general results are that 'it is possible to recognize without doubt that the three great divisions— (1) the massive walls below, (2) the deserted and barbarous state of the site, and (3) the thinner walls above that with very different pottery-correspond to the Amorite age, the Judges, and the Jewish monarchy.' The particular find is the long looked for prize, a cuneiform tablet.' 'From the character of the writing, which is the same as on the tablets written in Palestine in 1400 B.C. to the Egyptian king at Tel-el-Amarna,' we have a confirmation of the conclusions at which Mr. Flinders Petrie had independently arrived. It mentions Zimrida as a governor, and this same man appears as governor of Lachish on the tablets found at Tel-el-Amarna.' May this, the first ancient book ever discovered in Palestine, as Mr. Besant tells us earlier in the volume, be the precursor of many other similar finds!
The last lecture is by Canon Dalton, and deals with the literary preparations which 'The Modern Traveller in Palestine' ought to make before setting out if he is to use his time to the best advantage. He urges, moreover, that travellers should leave the beaten track, especially as he says they may do so with safety, and that they should on no account fail to cross the Jordan, and spend on the east side of it a week or so out of the six or eight weeks which he regards as the necessary minimum for a satisfactory visit to Palestine.
We have found it difficult to abbreviate where there was so much to which reference might be made. The collection of essays is one which deserves to be described as fascinating, and we hope that those who read and enjoy it will not forget the claims of the Society to which they owe it, a Society characterized by quiet and at the same time thorough and masterly work.
