Among the Holy Hills. By HENRY M. FIELD, D.D.

1 vol. croivn Svo, $1.50, with a map.

A description of the sacred localities of Palestine by a veteran traveler. The interest of the Holy Land above all others, is that here was spent the most wonderful life that ever was lived on the earth; and the purpose of the journey, to which this book is indebted, is to trace that life from its beginning among its native hills and to follow closely in the footsteps of our Lord, not merely in the streets of Jerusalem, but through Samaria and Galilee, along the lake shore and on the mountain side.

"Dr. Field's books of travels are among the very best of their class. * * * * * The present one will entertain every reader, and will refresh and strengthen the Christian's faith."— National Baptist.

"This charming book is rich in history, in scriptural exposition, in accurate and pleasing description, and in personal adventure. There is not a dull page in it. He who buys will read and read again.'"—Christian Advocate.

"Dr. Field has a power of blending description with reflection which is rare, and the result is a vivid narrative, at once entertaining and instructive, and never failing in religious impressiveness. * * * The book should be in every Sabbath-school library, and will be read attentively, in spite of the many similar volumes in existence. The map accompanying it is exceptionally clear and helpful.'" — Boston Congregationalist.

"There is nothing tame or hackneyed in the volume. It is as fresh and pure as a newly-opened rose in June. Dr. Field has, by his books of travel, established a permanent fame, and won an enduring prominence in the ranks of American authors."— The Independent.

" One of the most delightful and fascinating books of travel ever perfomed." — N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
