PUTNAM & CO I Will publish Thursday, September 25, Bur j ton's Pilgrimage to Mecca und the tomb i tf the Prophet, with introduction by Bay -1 artl Taylor. 1 vol. 12m0., with illuetra -1 lions 81 50. I The history of this curious boy is as follows: Burton, an officer in the East India Com pany, having by a long residence in Upper India, acquired a perfect knowledge of the Oriental languages and customs, projected a visit under the auspices of thp Royal Geo graphical Society, to the holy city of Mecca and the tomb of the Prophet at Medina, places rarely if ever beloie visted by any Englishman. This ho successfully accom plished in 1853-4, disguised as a Moham medan Dervish. The history of the prilgriin nge is not surpassed in interest and origmhl | tly by any book or travel ever published— . embracing Ids residence at Cairo as a Mo liaiiimedati Student ; the journey across Ihe desert with the great annual caravan of Pil grims; the visit to ihe tomb of Mohammed ; the discovery that the Sacred black stone is an aeroliie ; the annual sermon preached at Mecca lo an estimated audience of 150,000 Pilgrims gathered from all parts of the Mos lem worlil ; nls narrow escapes from detec tion,"and the only accurate account of the ceiemontes of the Musselman faith. To the religious community this work fur nishes information never before made pub lic, respecting the ceremonial laws of a largo . proportion of the Eastern World; while lor i general interest, Burton's narrative will com ! pare favorably with either Eolhen or Cres j cent ami lite Cross. .
