Mr. Warner landed in Jaffa, and made his way through Jerusalem and other localities of the Holy Land, to Syria, thence journeyed by the Archipelago to Constantinople, and from Constantinople made his way to Athens and Corinth. It will thus be seen that he travelled over very familiar ground, nor did he meet with any striking adventures, yet his narrative has always a fresh interest about it.
