 SHEBBATT & HUGHES MANCHESTER UNIVERSITY PUBLICATIONS. HISTORICAL SERIES. CANON PIETBO CASOLA'S PILGRIMAGE TO JERUSALEM IN THE YEAR 1494.— Continued. "Miss Newett's introduction is an admirable bit of work. She has studied carefully what the archives of Venice have to say about pilgrim ships and shipping laws, and her pages are a mine of information on such subjects." — ^Dr. Thomas Lindsay in the Scottish Historical Review. " This is a deeply interestiog record, not merely of a Syrian pilgrim- age,_ but of Mediterranean life and of the experiences of an intelligent Italian gentleman at the close of the Middle Ages — two years after the discovery of America: It would not be easy to find a more graphic picture, in old days, of a voyage from Venice to the Levant." — American Historical Review.
