The recto of the ensuingleaf is blank : on the reverse of it, begins the account of the Mountainsin Israel. A different series of wood-engravings now presents itself. Atfol. 24, of this part of the work, there is an excellent group of Saracens;(two women and three men,) with the Saracenic Alphabet beneath. Onthe reverse are two very spirited figures, apparently illustrative of oneof the Classes of Jews which then lived at Jerusalem. A man is sittingbefore a table, and grasping a bag of money with his right hand ; expos-tulating with another, who stands before him. A little further we meetwith the Hebrew Alphabet, rudely cut in wood. On the reverse of thesame leaf is a group of Greeks, designed and executed with no meanskill, as the ensuing fac-simile of the greater portion of it sufficientlyproves:
