JOURNAL of a DEPUTATION sent to the EAST by the
COMMITTEE of the MALTA PROTESTANT COLLEGE in 1849.
"Most cordially do we recommend this useful work to the attention of all who seek for Information as to the past or present state of the East. It will be found a useful companion to all travellers visiting those regions. In particular we would strongly recommend it to the attention of our clerical friends, who, especially of late years, must have felt the want of such an addition to their libraries. The immense mass of information which it contains in so comparatively small compass, and its very low price, will render it as easy of acquisition as useful in possession."-Record Newspaper.
"It is a work which I recommend to all who desire to become better acquainted with the present condition of Greek Christianity." The Rev. R. Burgess's "Lecture on Greek Christianity" to the Young Men's Christian Association.
These volumes might not inaptly be designated a delineation of Mohammedanism or of Christianity in the East, or of the present state of the Jews. We could not wish a more luminous and masterly disquisition on the great points here set forth. The origin and decline of knowledge in the East generally is discussed with consummate care and ability. The work deserves a place in every library, both public and private."-British Banner.
