 TliPSC' sclc(Mini)s, from my notes of travel, are iiriiiteil for the honetit of friemls, who took 
 a kiiiiUy interest in our progress, Tlieir eoiiiiuoiiiihn'une.ss is tlu>ir coniiuouilation, conveying, 
 iis they do, j.biin mutters of fact ; how tho viiriuiis plaees have been reached and seen, infor- 
 mation not usually alVorded in descriptive accounts of Classic resfirts. Extended notices being 
 too hnlky, and a hai'e outlin(f devoid of interest, tlie selection luis not been easy. Tho notes 
 on "the Orient" will he found hmger than those on other sections. On London, Edinburgh, 
 Dublin, and Paris my notes aie necessarily silent, while on some Continental centres they 
 are brief, in oi'der to cnibiace in a reiisonable compass our whole journey. Using London 
 as a (icntre, our niov(^in(nts were so many i-adiations from the Groat World Metropolis, and 
 li.ade as o])portunity and extended leisure admitted. 
 
 A summary of our Travelling Expenses on th(^ Continent is given, which may be taken 
 as a moderate average. Leaving our heavy luggage in London, wo travelled— on all these 
 excursions T.rrs. P.eid accomiianied me— with the least quantity consistent with requirements and 
 comfort. Disjjensing, as far as possible, with valets and dragomen, I largely relied on myscif, 
 using the b( st information and Guide Books— Practical Biudeker's invaluable — deri\'ing much 
 pleasure working out our schemes. Fi-om Chicago on the West to Damascus on the East, 
 from the youngest of great active modein cities to tho oldest city in tho world retaining a 
 ]jrespnt vitality, it will readily be imagined, how varied our experiences have boon. Nearly 
 all the great standard collections and the current exhibitions of paintings liavc bi^en seen, 
 while the leading museums and the chief seats of manufacturing industiy have boon visited. 
 We havo observed numy types of architecture, and phases of religion; have compared tho 
 natural features of the different countries ; have heard the finest music, and witnessed tho 
 drama in its best exhibits ; havo scon exhibitions of dogs, horses, poultry, live stock, fruits 
 and flowers, and have had many varieties of the great human family brought under our ob- 
 servation — an education both broad and permanent. 
 
 Furnished with a passport from the Foreign Office and a General Letter of Credit from 
 my London Bankers, accon.panying " Circular Notes," which are Bank Drafts negotiable when 
 endorsed by the payee, my outfit was complete. 
 
 To the Canadian Office hi London, presided over by the Hon. Wm. Annand, to tho Imper- 
 ial Bank and their Foreign Agents, and to numerous friends our thanks are duo for the 
 satisfactory prosecution, without accident, of a trip, which has added to our knowledge? of 
 tho mighty past, and afforded an insight into the great energies which permeate the listless 
 I)resont.

 8Hi— Walked through the town— the oldest exifltin({ 
 in the world. Ate some Passover Bread. Con- 
 ducted by the Sheikh, who aceouipHnied Canon 
 TriHtram, to the top of " Abraham'M Kitchen" and 
 saw down the stair cbrb. The Jnws Post OflEice 
 IS at the main entrance. Faiiiiliuisia has to this 
 day ffuardcd the Patriarclial Cavn of Machpelah

 ding into four large branrhcs at the height of 19 
 • feet, forming a circle of 95 paces -a tree of greit 
 age. Arrived Bethlehem 7 p.oi., qiiarterii in the 
 Latin Monastery, attended by a robust and obliging 
 Franciscan. Ourwindow, lacing the court, secured 
 by iron bars Bethlehem wine light in colour,

 9th— PtUm Sunday. The main portion of the Church 
 of the Nativity, the most ancient Christian edifice, 
 erected by Ilelena 327. The gilded mosaics ot 
 1180 much faded and out of repair. The Grotto 
 of St. Jerome truly interesting. The Turkish 
 Guard with fixed bayonet standing near the offi- 
 ciating priest, be he Armenian, Greek, or Latin, 
 in this reputed spot ot the nativity, suggests a 
 volume of thought. The prscsepium or manger I 
 have seen in the Chape! Sta. Maria Maggiore, in 
 Korae, restored by Pius IX, and selected by His 
 Holiness for his last resting place. Dined in our 
 tent 6 p.m., overlooking tho Shepherd's Field. 
 Slept in the Monastery ou the urgent request of 
 the Superior. 
 
 lOtb— Breakfast 730 a.m. in the refectory. 830 
 a.m. rode out to Solomon's Pools, through the 
 Wady Artaa tracing the oticiniil aqueduct. A 
 belt of fertility between two sterile ridges, where 
 are gardens xif peach and other trees and vegetable 
 gardens. A European colony has existed here 
 since 1849. Joined at Bethlehem by our guard, a 
 tephew of the Sheikh of Abu UIh, having some 
 military dash about him. Two iidditiouul attend- 
 ants mounted for the baggage guard. Luncbed 
 under shade of an olive tree. Arrived 5Iar Saba 
 4 p.m., tents in readiness. Our letter from the 
 Greek Patriarch obtained us water from the tor- 
 tressed Monastery in the bleak wilderness. Wo- 
 men are rigidly excluded, not to mar concord, for 
 eTen the lioa and St. Saba came to terms. 
 
 Uth— Breakfast 6-30 a.m. Mounted G-30 a.m. for 
 the Dead Sea and the Jordan. Occasional peeps 
 of the Dead Sea and its banks; scenery wild, 
 paths narrow and rugged. Excursions, when 
 made in the opposite direction, more gloomy. 
 Dismounted at the Dead Sua, tasted the water, 
 salt and bitter. Jerusalem is 3,697 feet above the 
 Dead Sea and 2,494 above tho Mediterranean. 
 Crossing to the Jordan, the ground wan as so 
 much broken pottery. Reached the Greek bathing 
 place 12-30 p.m., rested for lunch two hours and 
 washed our hands and faces in the far famed stream 
 — drinking also. The banks are fringed with tarti 
 trees and willows. Rode over in two hours across 
 the El Gbor tn the Ain-es-Sultan, called the Pools 
 of Elisha, from the Prophet having healed the 
 waters with salt. Our tents ready. Thermometer 
 in ourleuts 83^^ F. Four other piuties, one French, 
 uumbering '2d with 6.) anim.ils and altfinlanti). 
 Er Riha, tho modern Jericho, is a Kr.mp of (squnlid

 Lenten season, fi>r hero, since the Crusades, 
 the temptation lun been localized. Our guard 
 Tisited Neby Musa, sayiug, if he did not go, hw 
 must divorce his wife, a favourite phrase whei> 
 duty compels. 
 
 12th— Breakfast S-SO a.m. Mounted 6-45 a.in and 
 by continuous riding reached Mount Zion, Jeru- 
 salem, 11 •4.') a.m. Beautiful sunrise on the Moun- 
 tains ot Monb. Met a number of pilgrims en route 
 to Neby Musa, the t(nnb of Moses, placed by the 
 MohammedinH this side Jordan. The WaJy-el- 
 Ke t, a sublime ravine nearly 500 feet, is supposed 
 to answer to the " brook Cherith, that is before 
 Jordan," where Elijah was fed by ravens. The 
 old path being in this valley, the peril of the 
 "cenain man'* in the parable may readily bo 
 supposed. At Hadrur Khan, half way, an old ruir» 
 is taken for the Inn where the good Samaritan 
 tod(^ed. The ascent theuco to El Azariyeh is 
 steep and the road not so good as the previous 
 portion. It is, however, the best road in Pales- 
 tine, having been improved by a Roainaniaa lady 
 at a cost ot £2000, but requires much more still. 
 
 H{h~(i(ioil I-'ri'lij;/. Christ Cliurch 11 am. Bishop

 the British Consulate and soldier from the Turkish 
 Guard, explored the whole platform, descending 
 into Solomon's Stables, where the rubbish heaps 
 shew the labours of the Palestine Exploration 
 Fund. The Moslems regard Jerusalem as tho 
 holiest of all places after Alecca. Entered by tho 
 Cotton Gate, departed by the Bab el Asbat, passing 
 the Hirket Israil— Pool of Bethesda— out by St. 
 Stephen's Gate to the Chapel of the Grotto of 
 the Virgin, where the Virgin's tomb and those of 
 her parents and Josepk are shewn. Visited the 
 Convent of the Sisters of Zion, whose chapel 
 covers the " Ecce Homo" arch. In the porch is 
 a curious stone monolith found in the excavation. 
 In the cellar is to be seen one of the greatest 
 curiosities in Jerusalem, a fragment of old Roman 
 pavement, the only piece discovered. The caverns 
 below have been partially explored. " Under- 
 ground Jerusalem" has much more of interest 
 than the surtaee of the present crust. In the 
 afternoon rode out to Neby Samwil, where stood 
 the ancient tower ->f Mizpeh, the famous city of 
 B"njamin. From the miuaret of the ruined 
 nioVquo (3000 feet) the finest view iu Southern 
 Pulestine, from the Mediterranean to the blue 
 mountains ot the Valley of tho Jordan, as tar 
 So ii!i as Bethlehem, and to the North tho Hill of

 Dor Kaiserhof, couimoc^ious aad comfortable, till 
 October 16th. 
 
 The site ot Berlin strongly wsembles the North 
 section of the Suez Canal, best general view from 
 the new Kathhans tower. Berlin redolent ot 
 Friedrich Der Grosse, Kauch's f iraous statue in 
 the Unter Den Linden. In the Mausoleum at 
 Charloltenburg the recumbent figures have been 
 delicately wrought by Ituucb The chaste Can- 
 delabra, that with the three Fates by Kauch, that 
 with the three Horse by Tieck. Made two excur-

 Kaulbach's famous mural paintings, executed be- 
 tween 1847 and 1866, representing important 
 epochs in till' history ot mankind, adorn the stair- 
 case ot the new Berlin Museum. The Berlin art 
 collections are the best arranged and collaterally 
 illuslratfd of any in Europe. The biennial Exhi- 
 bition of the Academy was open, several historic 
 tableaux of the French campaign, and a Madonna 
 lor the Empress ot Russia by Ludwig Kuaus. 
 ,Saw in the Berlin Aquiirium a young gorilla in 
 delicate health. Privileged hearing the first Sym- 
 phony Concert of the season by the King's Baud

 dral ot Burgos is renowned, the delicate spires of 
 open stonework, the elaborate details, specially 
 interior work; the Chapel of the Conslable the 
 grandest of the 14 chapels. The miracle working 
 crucifix carved by Micodemus, which floated to 
 Spain, is here. A specialty in Spani^ih churches 
 the tencing of!" the choir in the nave confronting 
 the high altar. The lofty iron railings, n-j'i, are 
 fine specimens of iron work. In the Town Hall 
 (Casa del Ayuutamiento) saw the dust and skele- 
 ton ol the Cid, and the skeleton ot his faithful 
 Ximena, in a glazed walnut case. 1035 p.m.

 8Qth— Arrired Avila 5-30 am., a walled cathedral 
 city. Reached the Escocial 8 a.m., walked to the 
 Fonda Miranda. Spent the dny exploring the 
 huge pile perched on the bleak Sierra Guadarama 
 — " Mali prima labes" to Spain — a hard day'« 
 work. A feeling of regret steals over you that 
 the smoke of the incense now no longer continu- 
 ally ascends from the altars. My guide, Louis 
 Arduan, who accompanied Sir George G. Scott, 
 R.A., kept reminding mo of Philip II, seeking 
 the humblest room — " le plus grand roi de la 
 lerre!" Reached Madrid by evening train. Fon-

 rid 8 40 p.m. Took Mariano Porlales for Valet 
 and spent an active day in this grand Moorish 
 city, so boldly situated. Interesting at every 
 corner. The Cathedral is a glorious jiile, like ma 
 majority of Continental Churches on a confined 
 site. The stone the Virgiu stepped on, when she 
 appeared to San Ildelon.so, is a fenced-in sacred 
 spot. The painted glass it efTeciive, and tew 
 Cathedrals have the same brii'ht airiness. The 
 Archbishops of Toledo have been mt;n of renown 
 in "Spanish annals." 
 
 MAY. 
 
 2nd— El dos de Mayo, high mass at the Column. 
 Great Military display and general holiday. The 
 Spanish mantilla still holds its gracetul place iu 
 the dress of the women, and the fan serves as a 
 Buu shade. Madrid abounds in carringes, and the 
 new Park still in cntistruction will be a pleasing 
 relief from the Prado and its prolongations. Saw 
 the gorgeous wardrobe of the Virgiu at the Ato- 
 cha, her processional car richly gili and its motive 
 machinery. The equestrian slutiie of Philip IV, 
 Plaza delOriente, has no equal. Galileo suggested 
 the principle on which the balance is pre.^erved.

 ffiologicnl Museum. The Annual .Vine Exhiiii- 
 tion. The mouumenta' char)els in San. Isidro del 
 Carapo finished, and in erection, far excel anything 
 of the kind I have seen. The Spanish Huiise of 
 Commons in session. El Congreso de los Dipu- 
 tados. Of the Museum, alone worth visiting Spain 
 for, it may truly be saiil that no such collection of 
 splendid ]iaintings anvvvhcre exists, and all the 
 result of happy nc '(ient. Captious critics may 
 wax warm over restorations, and despise it ou the 
 whole, but there seems to have b'jen no undue 
 ])roportiou ot interference compared with other 
 galleries. Paid tretpieat visits ; not a single pic- 
 ture uinvorlhy of study, and plenty of room and 
 good light to view. In the Academy of San Fer- 
 nando Miirillo's famous •' El Tinoso,'' the trcit- 
 inent more to be uoticiHi than the subject. The 
 Carlists siilpdued. and xvith the system of circular 
 tickets .Madrid will be more easily accessible.

 ed, the aliibiister casing worn with the lips of 
 pilgrims, has justly been condemned for its base 
 architecture. Ford call^ the city "the very Ephesus 
 ot Spanish JIariolatry." Visited the Aljaferia, 
 the palace of the -Moorish Kings and afterwards of 
 the Kings of Ariigon. The artesonado root of St. 
 Isabel's room was gilt with the first gold brought 
 fnmi America. Visited several houses, the leaning
