His chronicles of persecution, spoliation, civil war, and massacre, which have so often marked the religious and political turmoils of the Asiatic Levant, his ?ashlights upon the confused religious entanglements of the Nearer Orient, his descriptive glimpses Of the natural features and the physical phenomena, as well as the ?ora and fauna, of lands famous in literature and history, his references to men and women prominent in the tragic drama of civil and religious strife, as, for example, his story of Abd cl Kadir, are illustrative of the variety which marks the subject matter.
